Okay then, for those who haven't checked the OP, and despite one or two reviews already having been posted, officially the first album listen is on!

We're listening to Buy the Ticket, Take the Ride by The Black Ryder, which is available on Spotify and also on YouTube, but if you need a link bob or I can help you out.

Reviews/thoughts/comments to be in by this coming Saturday, Feb 25. Write as much or as little as you want, but please do contribute. If you find yourself stuck for time, let me know and I'll see about a short extension, but in general I'd prefer everyone to have posted their thoughts by the deadline so that we can then move on with the next album.

Thanks and happy listening!

I'll be listening and reviewing some time this week. Looking forward to it, as It's an album I haven't heard.

I guess we'll put it to a vote then again.
Who wants a standardised system (and what is it to be) and who wants to just do their own thing?

ISB is IN!

One week.

And I've never taken standardized rating systems very seriously. (It's like giving a Picasso a 4.5 star review.) We don't need to be Pitchfork here. But I'll roll with whatever you decide.

My Reviewww

Yeah so, first off I got huge MBV vibes. For modern shoegaze, I like this quite a lot. It feels genuine, and much unlike some of these other groups (Westkust etc.) it stays on a mysterious, mesmerizing sound rather than the nondescript indie pop approach of others. Overall, it does play out much like an MBV album but that's no fault at all.

8/10 would listen again

I'll check that dictionary, but in the meantime I'm impressed - as is everyone else in the world - by your eloquence, obvious accomplishments and success, and the evidence of your blazingly high intelligence.

I listened to it earlier today. I really enjoyed it and echo several thoughts expressed earlier. I'll listen again some time this week and give a more fleshed out perspective.
