If there’s any problem, he doesn’t seem like much of an *******. Hard to trust.

So much this.

Do me a favor and listen to a FLAC version of Ziggy through a good set of headphones. The production is ****ing amazing.

Ok. The problem I have with this is that a number of people, myself included, only listen to one maybe two new albums a day.

So if we do it this way, we're asking people to submit roughly 71% of their music listening for a week. And with things like the Album Club we essentially take over all of their music listening for every week. I think by taking so much of their music listening time, we inturn will cause higher rates of people dropping out of the classics thread. I think it's better to go in the current path then to make these threads have a longer overall Shelf life.

That said, I think this Bowie thread is long since over and time to move on. I think the majority of the votes were from past experiences and not recent listens (which is fine).

I can guarantee I'm gonna bail on this if we attempt a rate greater than 1 album/week. I don't have time for that ****.

You could make 5-6 album threads, and then give them all a closing date on the same day one month later. I don't know if this would be too unfocused, but it's an alternative and it wouldn't make it harder for people who can't/won't do more than 1 per week, since it would be about the same rate in total.

@system 1 per week works for me

@rating 6 for me is not bad but I'm still apathetic about it.
5 is not good but again, I'm apathetic.
7 is a good album with some critical flaws that bring it down.
4 is a bad album but it's got several major good qualities.
8 is a good album with a few minimal flaws that bring it down.
3 is a bad album that has a handful of good aspects.
9 is a great album that is nearly flawless, or whose great aspects really make up for its flaws.
2 is a terrible album which is almost perfect in its ineptitude.
10 is a 9 that gives me something awesome that I can't get anywhere else.
1 is a 2 that gives me something awful that I can't get anywhere else. (Brokencyde, Crazy Frog)

SUGGEST ME AN ALBUM - I'm probably not going to listen to it but I will if you bother me enough.

Thanks Troll. The problem I have with this is that I don't want to make this feel like a carbon copy of the album club. With each step forward I take the more it feels and seems that way.
