My vote: each week, the next person on the list in the OP clicks the link and "chooses" the album. It has to be a studio album, not a live album or compilation or EP or single. It also has to be available on YouTube or Spotify so no one has to dig around for it.

We choose an album based on the signup sheet, so I'm up first, then GiganticDebaser, Occult and so on. I agree with the bolded, and as for frequency, again, as I already said several times, I'll go with what's most popular. What do you guys reckon should happen if we come across a very well-known album?

First album is in the OP now. Available on Spotify.

Just whatever pops up

**** it

If you can't find it don't review it

Uh nah, let's absolutely include live albums. They don't release that **** on accident.

And you should have added me to the list.

Movements - Retinwaav

Not bad.

The guitar tapping kind of reminded me of Michael Hedges, especially on the opener. A fair band can become a good band following the Explosions in the Sky crescendo method. And then notch it up again by keeping it instrumental. Disliked the skit or whatever you want to call it at the end. More ambient and less prog would've served this record better. They're no Rush. Also, keeping the guitar patterns locked in to traditional tonality started to leave me cold. More Tim Hecker, more post-rock crescendo cliches and give me some touches of Gorguts or Flipper or something. Put some garlic in the sauce. Or take that prog thing and bend it. Still, a surprising 3/5 stars.

My pick will be:

Maaligawe Ma Rejini
Album by Sujatha Aththanayaka

I don't remember you being involved before, but sure, ok. Oh, I see you posted one, incomprehensible post which you never explained. Well you're added now.

You just randomised that now, did you? I'd prefer everyone waited till we're through with the current one before choosing the next, otherwise we're gonna have a lot of backlog, and we need separate threads for each album so it might get very messy. Also, it's not your turn: Gigantic is next.

Is everyone still looking at doing this at a rate of one album per week?

Yeah I randominated it. You wanted me to wait? I thought you just took them and put them in the OP...

If I'm third you want me to wait until the 2nd is through?

I guess in the grand scheme of things it matters not. I'll add it into the queue then, shall I? I'll do that.
