drewby 9,246 Posted June 21, 2015 I pitched an idea in the status bar and a few people liked it so I decided to make the thread for it. A lot of us are very active in other artist threads on LB and I can safely say that I don't think I would've been exposed to several artists if it wasn't for the crew that always @ other members in threads. The point of this is to continue that on a larger scale, but with albums most of us haven't heard of or generally wouldn't listen to for whatever reason. Some of the people that choose to participate may already stan for the artist that week. Rules 1. The record must be coming that week (unless it's a slow release week or we choose to do an older record) 2. We will decide what album to cover every weekend via a poll that will be updated every Friday night (EST) and closed on Sunday afternoons when I'm at work 3. You must keep an open mind while listening to the record! (duh) 4. Please post your ratings of the record IN THE THREAD in categories from FAVORITES to OKAY to DIDN'T LIKE or letter grades as numbers for individual tracks are hard to keep up with (Favorites would be an A, Okay would be a C, Didn't Like would be an F) SCORING To calculate the overall rating for the record, an A is considered a 4, C is 2, F is 0 (like with GPA). The sum of the point values for each of the tracks is calculated and then averaged against the number of tracks. The overall album score per user is taken from that average. The overall score LB gave the album will be determined when all the values from each user are added and averaged against the number of people who ranked it that week 5. When the poll is put up each week, discussion of last week's record will cease and the OP will be updated to indicate the albums covered/overall ratings they received/participants for that week/pages the discussion of each record occurred on I think that covers everything, just let me know if you'd like to participate and comment with any suggestions for this week...we'll do a previously released record since it would be a shorter week!

FragileLamplight 62 Posted June 21, 2015 I would like to participate. As for suggestions, maybe Ratchet by Shamir or Peace Is The Mission by Major Lazer. Both are pretty recent releases, with only a few months on them. 4 Quote "A true revolutionary is guided by great feelings of love." - Che Guevara Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ratchet is actually a good suggestion, I saw people bickering back and forth on ATRL about it 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
