The Album Club 2017

Thelonious Monkey · 02-25-2017, 10:06 PM

I wanna join this but there is too many deadlines and rules. Can't I just comment about an album whenever I want?

I'm okay with that, you just won't be on the list. I hope there is some discussion tbh, and not just everyone posting reviews and never actually talking, but it's only the first week so...

Thelonious Monkey · 02-25-2017, 10:21 PM

**** the list, y'all wanna listen to some pop ****, thought not, im happy to just listen to what you guys got and comment on it, i'll listen to the first album that's been put forward and give it my thoughts, but i gotta listen to loveless first, i won't get penalized for it though or some ****?

idk I think they were saying that if you don't post by the deadline just hold off on posting your review because it will mix with the new album and **** and get confusing.

I don't know if they doubled back on that part of it but that's what I remember reading.

No you can't. It's a club, ffs. We choose the album to be done each week and listen to that. People start throwing in albums all over, it's just some sort of random review thread. You want to do that, start your own. There are rules here which mostly everyone seems to be ok abiding with. Don't start stirring ****. Stick by the rules. If you want to join, fine, but you'll have to wait for your turn before you can post your album and have it listened to. We have enough members already, so if you're not fine with the rules just don't join. Simple as that.

Edit: I'm not sure if I misunderstood you. Did you mean you want to post an album whenever you want, regardless of the list (or to quote you, **** the list), or that you just want to comment on whatever album as you want? Neither is acceptable for the reasons given above. If you start commenting on, say, the third album and we're all on the fifth, it's confusing and messy. I seriously don't understand your problem: "thre are too many rules and deadlines"?? There are four:
1. Sign up if you want to be in the club and suggest an album
2. Albums posted on the basis of the signup
3. Albums to be listened to within a week of posting
4. Reviews to be posted before the next album is due.

That's it.
Surely that's not too much to ask?

People, it's sort of like a neighborhood soccer game. You have to be willing to cooperate with the basic structure if you want to play. Say you have ten people playing five a side. If you ran into the middle of their game and started kicking the ball around at random... well, even the neighborhood retarded kid probably understands he can't do that.

ye that's fair enough guys, it's just not accessible for somebody like me, but yeah I get it, do what you wanna do if it works for you guys

This is a perfect analogy. Thank you.

I'm now adding a note to the OP to say that if you want to join you agree to abide by the rules, few as they are. Seems like that should be taken as read, but obviously not. Hopefully it will prevent future disruptions with people whining about this or that rule.

DJ, if you could submit your review today that would be great, then we will have a clean sweep for the first album.

I wasn't sure since I thought deadline was 25th and I missed it.
