IMPORTANT NOTE! THE ALBUM CLUB IS MOVING. YOU CAN FIND IT HERE, AT OUR NEW FORUM, SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT (SCD).
The Album Club
NO FURTHER REVIEWS OR COMMENTS WILL TAKE PLACE IN THIS THREAD.
THANK YOU.

All right, one more try before I give up trying to get you lot interested in anything you'll actually take part in. This was popular once, so...

With tortured screams of "NO! NO! WHY won't you just let me die? Not again!" I attempt to bring back to life the
MUSIC BANTER ALBUM CLUB 2022

Anyone who wants to take part let me know and I'll add you to the sign-up sheet. You'll then be eligible to select an album, any genre, any year. I think we'll limit it to one a month, with the first two weeks given over to time to listening to the album and the second to commenting on it. If that doesn't suit, fuck you all I mean let me know what does.

You can write as much or as little about the album as you like, just please remember always to be respectful of people's choices. Except mine. I know you'll all laugh nastily at mine but that's okay, I'm used to it.

First come first choice, so sign up early. Or not at all.

We'll probably rate them, but that will depend on who wants to do that. The man thing is just to get people talking about music again in a fun way. Failing that, we can try this thread.

So, who's in?

Note: as expected, some interest has fallen off with this, especially during the hiatus over Christmas/New Year. Those who have expressed an interest in remaining members, and who have been consistently contributing, are now classified below as "Full members". Those who have shown no interest and have not been here for months have been removed from the list, and those who have not taken part recently but still gave the impression they were serious about it, and may hopefully come back, are now listed as "associate members". They can of course be elevated to full member status if they wish to participate again.
