Are you ignoring my single track reco or just not updating the OP?

He didn't have time to update.
Or he's ignoring both our recs.
Which would be too gruesomly shocking to believe.

Both. Or neither.

You're right. But you're also wrong.

I'll be updating the list soon. Remember, Thursday is shopping day so I'm usually busy. Not to mention that double M...

He's released a bunch of albums but they're all pretty inconsistent other than the latest two.

His only uneven album was the first one and it's still good. Everything after is amazing. Danko Manual still might be his best song but it also might be one of the best songs ever written.

I'm not super into Here We Rest although it has some really good songs. Yeah, I think he's a fantastic songwriter, and I didn't mean that comment about "Danko/Manuel" as a criticism of anything else he's done - it's one of my favorite songs.

I just realised I'm going to have a problem with bob's selection. Look into rule

10. No live albums, no double albums if possible, no boxsets and nothing over two hours long

You guys need to appreciate that at the moment I'm trying to listen to a minimum of two albums a day, every day, for Metal Month III, do my 1001 Metal Albums journal, do my Theme Park journal, make sure the rest of my journals are not too neglected and also prepare the first Presidential Debate for next week, to say nothing of all the other work I'm doing here. I simply don't have time to listen to double albums, so for now I'm moving this one down the list, along with grindy's double, and will get to it when I can.

Please try to be considerate of all the other work I'm doing here when suggesting albums, and please check the rules if unsure, or PM me. Any more albums that I find on the list which break the rules are going to have to be moved down as well. I just can't spare the time at the moment, sorry.

Edit: In fact, I see Elliott Smith is sixteen tracks. Too many man, too many. For now, I'm going to instigate new rule, to be in force at least till Metal Month III concludes. No albums will be accepted that are over 12 tracks long. If there are any on the list at the moment they're going to be moved down to the end. Sorry but as I say above, I've far too big a workload to be taking on albums of that size, unless each track is like one or two minutes long. Hope you all understand. I'll rejig the list shortly.

The records 52 minutes though? Some albums have over 20 songs and are just below an hour long. The J Dilla record I recced you has 31 tracks but it isn't even 45 minutes.

For albums full of shorter songs, you can forgo the track by track review and speak in more general terms about the album. Just an idea.

Knowing Troll, he'll get offended just for questioning something as small as album length.
