The Album Club 2017

Haitus Kaiyote is pretty cool, hard to say anything about it that hasn't been said.

I came in here to say that I never stopped listening to Tapestry'd Life.

Okay, for round two I'm hoping everyone makes a better attempt to review every album than most did before. To this end, I'm ruling that if you haven't reviewed or at least commented reasonably on say the three albums before yours, yours will be moved to the bottom of the queue. If, after that, you still haven't joined in, your album will be removed entirely and you'll have to wait for round 3 (see you after Christmas!)

Naturally, you can tell me you're going away, are sick, whatever, beforehand, and incur no penalty, but I want to try to put, insofar as I can, a stop to the practice of people basically just not bothering until their album comes around, and returning to not bothering after that. So let's try to make the effort, huh? It's a week to listen to one album and jot down a few lines about it; not too much of a strain I would have thought.

This will be added to the OP, but for those of you who don't go to the OP, you can't say you haven't been told now.

Better scratch me from the list, TH. I might drop in occasionally if I know an album.

Drop him, Trolls!

I definetely intend to stay on the ball since I think this is a great idea for a thread, but good intentions only go so far... Sometimes a week will rush on by without warning, but I'm usually online a lot no matter what, so listening to an album on youtube in the background should be quite doable. In theory anyway... I'm more than a week behind on that review I promised Mondo Bungle in another thread.

You're skating on thin ice, buddy.

I joined a week ago and did my review for that week, so in that sense I've got a 100% participation rate
