I think TH has the albums listed in the OP. I've already listened to the one coming up (if I'm right).

It's often difficult for people to remember/accept when their behaviour was less than perfect - the general opinion about my comments on female members/artists is a good example, so I can see how someone might unintentionally have the blinders on - but there were certainly insults. Mostly, if at all, I don't think I responded in kind, but if Nea wants to bury the hatchet I'll agree. I respect someone more who apologises than someone who keeps denying allegations, so fair play to him for that. I don't particularly want to be Ignoring anyone, and it's certainly a pain when I go to do the Update thread for the Journals section.

To Nea himself: I don't get why you think this is a hard club to join. It's certainly not. All that's required is that you put in the same amount of effort, more or less, as your fellow members, which is to say, do your best to listen to all or most of the albums, rather than just picking the ones you like, or waiting till yours comes around, review that, then disappear again. It's pretty simple really.

All the albums due to be reviewed for round 3 are in the OP, as Rubber Soul says, along with the relevant dates. You do understand, of course, if you go on the list you will be last on it? Everyone else has put in the work and has to be treated accordingly, and even Rubber Soul has participated more, even though he's only provisionally on the Greenlist, than you at this point, so it all works in that way.

Tealdear: Okay, we'll give it another go.

You're welcome.

Sorry for the delay in changing albums, guys. Bad week. OP has been updated now.

Just a question: we're now in the first week of December and on the last album. Reviews for it technically end Dec 11 and then we go into round four. With Christmas looming on the horizon like a bad TH dad joke, do we want to go ahead or would you prefer to hold off till after Christmas, as we'll only get two or so albums in before it's likely everyone splits for the festive season and has no time for/interest in reviewing albums? I don't mind either way - I'm obviously way behind on everything now, so the latter would suit me but I'm easy whichever - just want to know what everyone else thinks.
