Troll. Should I pick one for round eight or is St John Green the winner here?

You're not in round seven, sorry. I only add new members for the next round, so basically you're second in round eight. Hawk is third and now Ant is fourth. Round seven ends after the next album, which is from Black Francis .... who I must say has not even bothered to review any of the previous albums or even shown his face here since he asked to join, so I have a good mind to kick him out before he even begins. Francis, if you're out there, give us a sign!

You’re doing a good job, Trolls

I only asked because I saw my name listed in Round Seven. That's cool, actually. I have to think of an album for round nine anyway

Sorry. I only meant to add you in on the list, not for the current round. Should have made that clearer.

As highlighted by the selection chosen by Anteater this week, I'm posting a new rule. I thought it would have been obvious, but I guess not.

So: any album chosen by anyone in future MUST be readily available to all. That's either Spotify, YouTube or, in a pinch, Bandcamp, but preferably one of the first two. If not, choose something else. I don't want people having to search for albums and I know there are those here who prefer not to download links and ZIP files, even from people they (presumably) trust.

So in future, check your album is open to all before you post. Otherwise change it. There won't be an exceptions to this. It's hard enough to get people to listen to the albums without expecting them to try to dig them up from obscure sources. I'll add this to the OP.

Thanks.

I always check YouTube or Spotify before I put an album up for review in The Album Club 2017. I was doing this from the beginning of my tenure as an official green-listed Album Club 2017 member. I did it just out of common courtesy for others. Now it's a rule. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I had to scratch a few albums because they were on neither YouTube nor Spotify.

No, just one who hasn't taken the time to really listen to them, though I did enjoy ITCOTCK thoroughly, so yeah, must start making that time...

Ah ya gotta have the cringe factor. Ahead! Cringe Factor Five!

Okay, Anteater has suggested a new album and the thread for that has been made. The Asturias thread will be closed, but until then, please do not post in or vote on it. Thanks.
