MB Album Club 2022

Lisnaholic · 07-14-2022, 05:45 PM

If anyone is statistically minded, they might find this stuff mildly interesting:

Albums Done And Dusted So Far:

Elizium: nominated by SGR: Average rating: 7.5 (first review in post #21)
We Have Fed You All: Batlord: 8.6 (#53)
Tsuchi No Ne: Marie Monday: 6.8 (#83)
Pleasures Of The Harbor: rubber soul: 7.3 (#121)
Program Music I: Lisna: 7.5 (#145)
Time Passages: Trollheart: 7.5 (#156)
The Electric Lucifer: rubber soul: 7.3 (#217)
Sleep It Off: Marie Monday: 8.5 (#233)
Beautiful Midnight: music_collector: 6.3 (#271)
Stepmother City: Lisna: 8.0 (#302)
LIQUID: Lab vol 5: SGR: 7.2 (#340)

Sadly predictable fact:

Album to receive most reviews: the first one, with 8 reviews
Album to receive least reviews: the last one, with 3.

I don't mean to be a soupuss grumpyboots, but I feel that those who have not bothered to join in after they signed up should be in future precluded from submitting an album (not that I imagine they intend to): that sort of thing annoys me, sort of fly-by-nights who say they'll take part then dip in and out as they feel like. Nobody is prohibited from reviewing albums, but I think in fairness those who have stuck with it should be the only ones now who can suggest albums.

Looking at the sign-in sheet, I see the following who have not suggested nor reviewed an album in the last few months:

Batty
Tristan
Adiddass

How do people feel about that idea? Am I being too harsh?

I have to look back at my posts, but I think I listened to and reviewed each album but one, that being your Maria McKee release.

This has been fun, seeing as how each nomination is something I know zero about.

Trollheart · 07-14-2022, 07:48 PM

No, you're cool. Only the ones I mentioned are in my sights, as it were.

music_collector · 07-14-2022, 08:24 PM

Fair enough. Once I get my household chores done, I'll check out Ms. Maria again.

I feel like those people have already "voted with their feet", to use a great expression from Lenin. I don't see any need to lay down strict rules for something that probably won't happen, i.e. them suddenly nominating an album.
But luckily, there's always a few albums lag between a nomination being made and that nom being reviewed, so I think that would be the time for a person to demonstrate their good intention by reviewing other peep's albums. I don't think any reg MB members would do it, but yeah, if anyone were to nominate and run, I think we could in fairness deselect their nomination from the "Upcoming" list.

Dr_Rez · 07-14-2022, 08:52 PM

I would like to join if this is still goings on.

Lisnaholic · 07-14-2022, 09:29 PM

Dr_Rez !

You've been away from MB for so long! I hope life has been treating you well.

Yes, this club is totally active. We are currently reviewing Maria McKee's self-titled 1989 album, as nominated by Trollheart.

Trollheart · 07-14-2022, 09:50 PM

Rezz! Always welcome!

Trollheart?! I'm thinking of going to bed in my time zone: I hate to think what time it is in Ireland right now!!
