At least it would sound better than one of Frownland's ... nah.

All of this seems fair. Except for the jumping jacks bit. And the square covers. And the pop albums. And the rest of it.

My only concern is that it won't be available. If you can get a link, as I said, no problem.

I haven't set many rules for this thing, but the basic one should be understood. Wait your damn turn. Please. No reviews of ANYTHING other than the current album until I tell you. Check the OP to see when it's your turn.

Or, in other words.... "Nobody is to stone anyone until I blow this whistle! Even - and I want to make this absolutely clear - even if they do say Jehovah!"

What's the point of having turns if nobody's choosing anything? It'd make more sense and be less obviously confusing if you just scrapped the signup sheet idea and did it yourself.

When I want your opinion I'll ask Hitler for it.
It makes perfect sense. Choose album 1, allow people to talk about it for a week, then on to album two OR choose albums 1,2,3,4, let people talk about all four at once then on to 5,6,7 before anyone is finished talking about 1,2,3,4?
You just hate me.

Or once a week you click the link, post the album and a link(s), and then everybody reviews it. I'm not even entirely sure what you're talking about and/or why it would be desirable tbh.

Pretty much, yeah. What you say actually makes sense. What strange dimension have I Slid into now?

Would everyone prefer that, that I just post a new random album every week?

The only reason why I didn't object was that I thought that you would find it bothersome to have to find the album of the week... but yeah... doesn't really make a difference to me, since it's random.

I've no problem doing this daily, and opening threads where each album can be discussed. There wouldn't really be a time limit then as such on each album, and it might shake things up a little more rather than waiting a week for a new album.

What say ye?

I really don't see why we can't have more than one album per week, since there's absolutely no penalty for not getting in on any specific album. Let's get this ball rolling!

Either that, or everyone generates their album for the current round as early as possible, and everyone waits 'til the next round to generate a new one. Or we could stick with everything that's been generated so far (by members on the sign-up sheet), and stop accepting any other ones, meaning you (TH) will generate everything beyond that.

Until you land upon a decision, I'll just generate mine real quick, and just feel free to scrap it if not:

...The two first ones were singles, so scratch that... the third one some kind of Peruvian folk music album that I couldn't find anywhere...

Ah!

Will of the Mountain - Cloud Walking (2016)
(Progressive Metal/Post-Rock)
https://rateyourmusic.com/release/al...cloud_walking/

The full album is on Spotify and all the tracks seem to be on YouTube, but I can't find a playlist where the tracks appear in the correct order (maybe I can make a new playlist and post the link to that if some of you don't have Spotify?)

This seems like it would make the most sense. So I'll leave all the albums that have been selected already, make threads for them now, and then every day after tomorrow pop up a new one which I'll select via the link. Cool with everyone?

Note: I'll obviously include GD's one above.
