I'll throw in a fine proggy record that came out fairly recently, as I'm especially curious at people's impressions 'round these parts of it are. Courtesy of Big Big Train...

Yep, been waiting to listen to that for a while now. Why have I so many albums backed up? You can put that in for the one after US's choice if you want, Ant: I'd certainly have no problem reviewing it. Would force me to listen to it, which I want to anyway...

Sounds good to me! We'll all tackle it after a bout with El Capitan Beyond.

I was thinking, a lot of people on here myself included don't really get the time to do an in-depth album review for this club (lack of time and doing my own journal) and I think Trollheart's original 20 point questionnaire may well be a better idea and a lot quicker as well. Album reviews are great for those wanting to write them, but for myself I'll fill out Trollhearts questionnaire for each album. It's a good questionnaire and can easily be added to. I've copied it again here and edited a few parts to make it more general It can easily be copied and pasted for each album.
1. What were your VERY FIRST impressions on listening to the album, say from the first five minutes in? 2. What did you think of the opening tracks? 3. What did you think of the later tracks? 4. Did you like the vocalist? Hate him/her? Any impressions? 5. Did the music (only) generally appeal to you, or not? 6. Did the album get better or worse as you listened to it (first time)? 7. What did you think of the lyrical content? 8. Did you like the instrumental parts? 9. What did you think of the production? 10. How well do you already know the band/artist? 11. What sub-genre, if any, would you assign this music to? 12. On repeated listens, did you find you liked the album more, or less? 13. What would you class as your favourite track, if you have one? 14. And the one you liked least? 15. Did the fact that this album is a debut/sophomore/middle period or later period allow it, in your mind, any leeway, and if so, was that decision justified or vindicated? 16. Are you now looking forward to hearing other albums by the band/artist? 17. Did you get, thematically, the idea behind the album if there was one? 18. Did the album end well? 19. Do you see any way the album could have been improved? 20. Do you think the album hung together well, ie was a fully cohesive unit, or was it a bit hit-and-miss? Ovarall Album Rating:

I'll be listening to the Captain Beyond album tomorrow and will fill out the questionnaire (a trial run if you like)

Hey thanks for that US! I thought everyone was ignoring my questionnaire. And as you say, if you're not in the mood to do a full review, it's a good way to get your impressions of the album across to everyone, with then points open for discussion. I'd prefer to use this format for all contributors, but others may be happier doing their own thing. Let's have your thoughts on this, and see how the land lies.
I'll also be listening to CB tomorrow, will post my thoughts soon after.
