The Album Club 2017

Rings of Saturn - Lugal Ki En

Deathcore huh? Really just seems more like Suffocation with pig vocals and more diverse musical deviation every other song. Beckon, for instance, is pretty typical then in the last minute the mood completely changes and you get some nice synth / guitar interplay. There's way more subtlety here than I had any right to expect, so just that elevates this a bit more than my ususal 6 to 7 range I give to albums that I neither love nor dislike.

7.8 out of 10

What do you think this is, the alimentary canal?

I don't see any problem with this. I'd certainly participate more if I could just come in every now and again.

At this point I think you can let this thing fly on its own instead of being a human laxative.

You don't participate at all. You never gave any indication that you wanted to be part of the club. Ever.

How about this suggestion:
1. Anyone may participate in the reviewing.
2. Only people who have posted a review 3/4 out of 5 consecutive weeks may join the album suggestion queue.
3. If anyone is ever missing for five consecutive weeks their album is taken off of the list.

Basically if you want to suggest an album, you have to be a relatively active member; the finer details can be argued about. This system has the advantages that it encourages people to continually participate in the club, and that anyone who isn't willing to commit may continue to review on the side. It has the disadvantages that a first-time commitment of several consecutive weeks is necessary, but given that people tend to be more interested early after discovering a thread, I don't think this will be that big of an issue.

That's a lot of counting.

It doesn't have to be formal.
