But anyone who wants to rec someone an album doesn't have to wait until the first person they gave an album to reviews it. Frownland can give as many recs as he wants to as many people he wants and just ignore my laziness.

That's true, but at the same time anyone who has recced something to you say after Frownland did and is waiting for you to review their album won't be able to until you review his one. And Frownland (to use him as an example) may be eagerly waiting to see what you thought of the album, in which case it's kind of bad manners to keep him waiting. I genuinely wanted to hear his thoughts on Bon Jovi, and that's in abeyance now as he's sitting exams. But I had wanted to hear Oriphiel's take on Chris Rea and others.

But it's basically just trying to make sure everyone reviews within the stated time. It's not too much to ask, one album a week, and you get a week then for the next one and so on. It's not just you though: I mean, three or four people have just sat there and done precisely nothing, which has resulted in their albums eventually being marked as failures. I can't let these queues build up, and anyway, if people want to participate they should make the effort, not just put it on the long finger.

Look at me: I've reviewed everything almost in my queue, as well as listening to a ton of stuff for "Love or Hate?" It can be done. It needs to be done, and as always people need a kick or else the whole thing just slows down, gets bogged down and eventually everyone loses interest. It's kind of similar to you getting people to vote for metal albums within certain dates: things have to happen in some sort of order and to some sort of schedule, or it all falls apart.

I will. I'm bummed you didn't get to give me your thoughts on The Road to Hell, Part 2, though...
