The idea would be that we each choose one of the four and then review it and post our report. Obviously anyone could decide to do more than one, even all four if they want, but that would not be a requirement. The best way would be for us each to review one of, say, Big Ears' four albums and report on them, that way not only would we get to review an album others had not heard (possibly) but we would all then get to experience what the other three albums were like from the perspective of another member, and that would potentially a) give us all three other albums to decide maybe to listen to or to consider and b) allow us to "hear" the other three albums through ears other than our own and finally c) make for a much better sense of interaction as we each quiz the others on their choices, leading to better debate.
Anyone agree, disagree, don't care?

That's kind of an interesting format. Someone might review one album and hate the other three or give a few general impressions on all of them at once, but I could see that taking some of the weight off the whole "oh god I have to write another review" drudgery that seems to hold back participation around here. I'm up for it!
