You'll have to let us know how you're feeling about this material, Janszoon.

Yeah, I'll be writing reviews of everything I receive. I've just had a busy week this week so I won't be able to start on them until the weekend, and I've been holding off saying much about my reactions so that my reviews can be a little more substantial.

I'd like to state that any rumours going around the forum that I am going to start a similar thread on Wings discography are totally false.

I'm disappointed.

Maybe he wanted it to be a more interactive discussion than that.

Well, yea, I understand wanting to get people involved and have a discussion, but don't see why people had to send you individual albums themselves when you would have gotten the same result by grabbing all of their albums and then carrying on with the thread discussion such as you did, asking for favorite albums/flawless albums, etc. I'm not trying to be an ass here, I'm just curious. In a nutshell, you could have had the same outcome and discussion without needing people to upload albums themselves and link you to them, right? Still, not trying to be a dick here.

Because this way I actually feel obligated to do the write-ups and the person who sent me the album has a stake in reading my little review. It also means the people making the recommendations will most likely put a little more thought into their choices. It's easy to just rattle off a couple album titles when someone asks for a recommendation, but if you have to actually make an effort to send it to the person you're probably going to consider what you send a bit more. I'm actually pretty surprised that you think this is so weird since this is far from being the first thread on MB to follow this type of format.

Yeah, I would say that the "Send someone something they don't listen to" or "Weekly Music Trading Post" threads follow a similar format to this.

Yep, as did Jackhammer's Give me an album and I will review it thread and Urban's Thread Of Reappraisal (which was the direct inspiration for this thread).
