JohnnyoftheWell 04.20.19	Go go go!!
Papa Universe 04.20.19	bless you
JohnnyoftheWell 04.20.19	Cmon Papa, throw your hat in
Papa Universe 04.20.19	I'm looking for an album.
Dewinged 04.20.19	Lowly - Hifalutin Good luck with that one ;)
JohnnyoftheWell 04.20.19	Aww that artwork so chill
Papa Universe 04.20.19	The Sound - From The Lion's Mouth reviewless classic
Trifolium 04.20.19	Niiiice! For my rec I'll go for the ever brilliant yet criminally overlooked DJ Krush Album: Jaku https://www.sputnikmusic.com/soundoff.php?albumid=12317 Genre: Hip-hop, trip-hop https://youtu.be/gwkjdnV8Hrk
Valzentia 04.20.19	i would nominate my own album but i'm pretty sure that's tacky as all hell so have some underrated genius instead https://www.sputnikmusic.com/album/130152/ROOKiEZ-is-PUNKD-From-Dusk-Till-Dawn/
ktjammin 04.20.19	I never got around to reviewing what I was supposed to last time, whoops. But since I'm about to wrap up this semester, I'll have some free time to write over the summer. It would be cool to see something by Renounced get reviewed.
Papa Universe 04.20.19	weren't you supposed to review my album? Griddle - Meat Lock.
ktjammin 04.20.19	Yeah! Lmao, I think that was it.
Dewinged 04.20.19	Reported.
dashedtopieces 04.20.19	never written a review before but willing to give it a shot I'll nominate Imperialist - Cipher Imperialist is a black/death metal band from Monrovia, USA, formed in 2013. https://imperialistus.bandcamp.com
tyman128 04.20.19	Unprocessed - Covenant it’s got a progressive metal/djent kinda sound
Hawks 04.20.19	Hath - Of Rot and Ruin
JohnnyoftheWell 04.20.19	Sweet, updated - keep em coming! @ktjammin you happy with the album I picked?
SlothcoreSam 04.20.19	Ok, i will give this reviewing thing a go. Non Intentional Lifeform- Uisce (Ish-Ka) This album never got the attention it deserved. It's kinda proggy, kinda new metal, kinda punky, kinda experimental, kinda alt rock, so good luck reviewing it. https://nonintentionallifeform.bandcamp.com/album/uisce-ish-ka-2
JohnnyoftheWell 04.20.19	Lol that makes for a fun genre tag
LOVEANDACCEPTANCE 04.20.19	fuck it sanction - the infringement of god's plan
dmathias52 04.20.19	Ooh this is cool! Horse Jumper of Love - Horse Jumper of Love Shoegaze/Emo
Hawks 04.20.19	If you need a description for Hath it’s prog/tech death metal. https://hathnj.bandcamp.com/album/of-rot-and-ruin
JohnnyoftheWell 04.20.19	Gotcha
Hawks 04.20.19	m/ m/ m/ m/ m/
ktjammin 04.20.19	@JohnnyoftheWell Yeah! Great album. Also noticed you got sanction up there too, nice.
Dolving999 04.20.19	Alright, let's do it! Remeo - Momentaneous Metalcore/Prog/Alt Rock (I don't know if it's considered dishonest, but it's my last album, and since it's my only one that doesn't have a review yet, I figured I might as well) https://www.sputnikmusic.com/soundoff.php?albumid=309549 https://remeocivitas.bandcamp.com/album/momentanous I can't wait to write another review, gonna be fun!
Egarran 04.20.19	Solitude Aeturnus - Beyond the Crimson Horizon Classic dad doom.
idiotican 04.20.19	Fairport Convention - Unhalfbricking. Its a timeless classic and Its just embarrassing that this website has no reviews for it.
Frippertronics 04.20.19	Secret Chiefs 3 - Book M
TheSupernatural 04.20.19	Dear Seattle - Don't Let Go Emo/indie rock I seemed to have dug it more than the rest of the site and I feel like it deserves a little more attention. Also, someone needs to fix that album art. I tried and it got rejected I guess.
JohnnyoftheWell 04.20.19	I love you Fripp, Book M is so so great Updating!
Jasdevi087 04.21.19	Nurse With Wound - Thunder Perfect Mind Industrial I promise I'll actually participate this time so long as I don't get a fucking double LP live album again. this game was a pretty big part of my early sputnik years so it'd be cool to get back into it
JohnnyoftheWell 04.21.19	Hahaha will put a veto in for that - no double live albums please!!
Jasdevi087 04.21.19	*also i don't have an l in my username lol
JohnnyoftheWell 04.21.19	-_- I need to get to sleep... fix'd ;]
Valzentia 04.21.19	also if anyone has trouble finding the ROOKiEZ album I can hook you up
0GuyMan0 04.21.19	Firehouse - Hold Your Fire Hard Rock / Post-Glam I'm down with all things rock and metal easily, but have a particular attraction to 80's pop and 90's r&b.
JohnnyoftheWell 04.21.19	Fab! Gonna leave nominations open for another day or so then get assigning
bgillesp 04.21.19	I’m in. Lemme search for a rec
bgillesp 04.21.19	I’ll go with Dot Allison- Afterglow since I rec’d that one for this last year but it didn’t get reviewed
SitarHero 04.21.19	I'm in! I nominate: Waterfall Strainer - Carry It (Indie rock/Bedroom pop)
50iL 04.22.19	ooooooo me, me! This one needs a rev badly: Keith Jarett - Survivor's Suite (ECM/avant-garde jazz)
Dewinged 04.22.19	oh btw Johhnny, Lowly is some sort of electro / minimal pop.
bgillesp 04.22.19	Oh, and mine is trip-hop
Egarran 04.22.19	Is there a timetable for this?
JohnnyoftheWell 04.22.19	Not a strict one, but I'll set an arbitrary deadline of a week as incentive to get it over and done with. Gonna start assigning albums soon!
JohnnyoftheWell 04.22.19	Gonna shoutbox y'all in case anyone misses this but allocations are up! You've got til next Monday (in theory) to get your beautiful words down - bump this thread when you're done so we can all have a read :]
50iL 04.22.19	Kewl, thanks! I'll take my album ASAP but don't rush it :)
ktjammin 04.22.19	Oh hell yeah, I love that EP. I’ll get crackin on it after work.
SlothcoreSam 04.22.19	Yeeeah, got it.
LOVEANDACCEPTANCE 04.22.19	instrumental hip hop? aiight, game for the challenge
Egarran 04.22.19	Sounds good J.
Hawks 04.22.19	Just jammed 11 and I’m pretty impressed. Will start a write up soon. m/
tyman128 04.22.19	I’ll spin 21 when I get home and churn out a review tonight or tomorrow
bgillesp 04.22.19	This'll be my first review of a user album. I hope I like it so I don't have to be mean, haha
Jasdevi087 04.22.19	oh sweet Thunder Perfect Mind went to someone who might actually take a crack at it
bgillesp 04.22.19	Oh, shoot, only got a week. Well I have a ridiculous week ahead of me so I'll try to do it on the weekend.
JohnnyoftheWell 04.22.19	Don't worry about the time limit if you've got lots on! As long as it gets done in the near-ish future, it's all good :]
LelandAB 04.22.19	Jardin de la Croix - Circadia. Beautiful Spanish mathy/prog.
Dewinged 04.23.19	Oh shit, I hope not to let down Fripp senpai. And I think 0GuyMan0 is more of a hard rock / heavy metal kind of guy so Lowly is gonna be a hard time lol
TheSupernatural 04.23.19	Of course I get the album not on Spotify lol. Oh well, found the full thing on Youtube so I'll give it a few listens and post some words. Not understanding a word of it is a good challenge :)
0GuyMan0 04.23.19	Whew. Well, I'll do my best.
Dewinged 04.23.19	I believe in you dude m/
0GuyMan0 04.23.19	I can get into some stars of the lid from time to time, so we'll see.
widowslaugh123 04.23.19	Is it too late to sumbit? If not I’ll add Arab on Radar-Rough Day At The Orifice You could probably describe it as noise rock
Valzentia 04.23.19	Review's up: https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/79428/Waterfall-Strainer-Carry-It/ Also forgot to mention that From Dusk 'Till Dawn is a pop punk album
50iL 04.23.19	Damn, that was quick.
Valzentia 04.23.19	I don't really have any semblance of a life. What else am I supposed to do? :P 'twas fun to do though, although it likely would have been more fun if I had liked the album
50iL 04.23.19	I'm halfway done with mine, might actually finish it today or tomorrow.
JohnnyoftheWell 04.23.19	Yeah, kudos to you and idiotican for being so snappy! Nice work @widowslaugh123 you're technically too late BUT I haven't started mine yet so am happy to swap you in and review yours if you like!
50iL 04.23.19	Anyone feel like proofreading my review before I submit it?
FadedSun 04.24.19	I'm looking forward to that Book M review.
Dolving999 04.24.19	Hey yo! I just finished mine, so you can take a gander at it: https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/79433/Laughing-Hyenas-You-Cant-Pray-a-Lie/ Since it's only my second review and the first one was utter shite, I do advise you gentleman to lower your expectations. Also can't wait to check all the other reviews! This was an excellent idea.
Hawks 04.24.19	Damn you guys are fast.
tyman128 04.24.19	I need to get started soon, but dang has my life been crazy this week
Trifolium 04.24.19	I'll do mine at the beginning of May. Looking forward to it, description sounds great!
0GuyMan0 04.24.19	I've listened to this like ten times. I enjoy it. but I know approximately fuck-all what to say about it.
Papa Universe 04.24.19	they should bring back 'user spotlight for a review'
JohnnyoftheWell 04.24.19	Damn, had forgotten that ever existed :O @GuyMan if you're not sure how to describe/analyse the music, try looking at how it effects you/what it reminds you of other than music and using imagery; just get that impression down and you'll be gold
dmathias52 04.24.19	I'll get mine up later this week! Loving the album, I just want to make sure I give credit to the historical influence it had. That's a new thing for me, so I'm looking forward to it! I graduate college in a month, so this has been a fun little writing stress reliever.
Conmaniac 04.24.19	HOLY SHIT thank u to whoever nominated Horse Jumper of Love and Johnny I'm watching u, u better make me proud only review im looking forward to on here album wise
Conmaniac 04.24.19	sorry no pressure tho but I just adore that album and it needs a proper review
tyman128 04.25.19	got a day at home tomorrow to do some homework and just chill, think I’ll get my review out then
dmathias52 04.25.19	@Conmaniac YES! That was my nomination. I’ve wanted to but feel like I couldn’t do it’s uniqueness justice. Glad Johnny took it, hopefully it’ll get the traction it deserves.
50iL 04.25.19	My review has been posted. I hope Jas is satisfied hehe
SitarHero 04.25.19	Here's my 2c. :] https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/79437/Solitude-Aeturnus-Beyond-the-Crimson-Horizon/
JohnnyoftheWell 04.25.19	Getting more and more into Horse Jumper! Got some initial words down but am gonna try to do this justice...on which note, I'd be v grateful if someone could shoutbox me a good link for it (non-streaming); am relying on Yt atm and would love this on my iPod So great to see y'all getting them in, keep up the good work guys!!
Egarran 04.25.19	Thanks for Hath, review up. Please be gentle. How do I edit it, btw? There's at least one error in there.
JohnnyoftheWell 04.25.19	Go to your page and there should be an option just under your profile pic!
Egarran 04.25.19	Thanks! Damn, that's a good SA review, SitarHero. Excellent.
JohnnyoftheWell 04.25.19	Woo Horse Jumper is live, hope the fans in here approve ;]
dashedtopieces 04.25.19	Unprocessed - Covenant is up @tyman128 this album really grew on me - great pick
ktjammin 04.26.19	https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/79448/Sanction-NY-The-Infringement-of-Gods-Plan/ a bit rushed but I did the damn thing
SlothcoreSam 04.26.19	I'm going to be a bit late on the review. I'm out of state, just on my mobile, and about to drive my father in law 30 hours home over 3 days.
JohnnyoftheWell 04.26.19	That's all cool dude, safe travels!
dmathias52 04.26.19	I’ll end up being a little late as well! In the hospital for an abscess on my tonsils, so focusing on either listening to music or writing hasn’t been super easy lol
Egarran 04.27.19	This was great, J. I got good vibes both from both rec and review.
0GuyMan0 04.27.19	Lowly - Hifalutin is up at https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/79460/Lowly-Hifalutin/#lastpost. Hope everyone gives this a shot. Didn't have much hope going in, but it really, really grabbed me.
dmathias52 04.27.19	https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/79465/Fairport-Convention-Unhalfbricking/ Here it is! Thanks for the suggestion Idiotican and the great idea Johnny! Never would have checked this out otherwise, much less reviewed it.
JohnnyoftheWell 04.28.19	Nice work everyone, really great write-ups!!
bgillesp 04.28.19	Not gonna happen this weekend for me sadly. I’ve got finals and graduation coming up so gotta handle that. I promise I’ll write it soon though
tyman128 04.28.19	okay, I wanna start this soon, but I literally have no time considering he mass amount of stuff that’s been going on lately. I’ll definitely find time very soon hopefully
dashedtopieces 04.28.19	@JohnnyoftheWell Thanks for doing this and matching me up with Covenant. Enjoyed the album and had a positive experience writing my first review.
JohnnyoftheWell 04.29.19	No probs dude, glad you enjoyed it :]
JohnnyoftheWell 04.29.19	No worries to those with a lot on, but otherwise remember to get writing while this is still hot!!
bgillesp 04.30.19	I should be able to get this done this week still I think
JohnnyoftheWell 04.30.19	That'd be fab but dw if finals are melting you (eyes on the road and you'll eat them alive ;])!
Dewinged 04.30.19	I'm sleeping on this a little cause holy crap my album is tough to convey, but I'm drafting already.
JohnnyoftheWell 04.30.19	Ah yeah haha SC3 are pretty hard to get into words - think I gave one of theirs a crack years ago, but it wasn't nearly as cohesive as Book M so easier to write on. V hyped to read what you come up with!
tyman128 04.30.19	I’ll try and carve out some time tomorrow, expect a review published by then
Hawks 05.02.19	Here’s mine! https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/79491/Imperialist-Cipher/
LOVEANDACCEPTANCE 05.02.19	yea sorry I didnt do this I just couldn't have cared less about that album lol
Papa Universe 05.02.19	I have an idea, let's start (if this goes well) a similar toruney, but for 2019 releases.
bgillesp 05.02.19	Will begin drafting in a sec.
Papa Universe 05.02.19	also, I can't request another album, can I? cause I just hated the one I got.
Hawks 05.02.19	Lmao
0GuyMan0 05.02.19	honestly papa I should just review that one myself, as the chances of anyone on this site digging their brand of 80s rock is like zero lol.
Dewinged 05.03.19	"I have an idea, let's start (if this goes well) a similar toruney, but for 2019 releases." I like this.
Hawks 05.03.19	Same.
SlothcoreSam 05.03.19	I'm down for a 2019 version, as long as i don't get stuck with an album by a band who sings in Japanese, with no info about them on the Web.
SitarHero 05.03.19	"the chances of anyone on this site digging their brand of 80s rock is like zero lol." It's basically just you, me, Hans, Titan and Manos I think.
Dewinged 05.03.19	And me!
Papa Universe 05.03.19	I'mma start the 2019 one now then.
Papa Universe 05.03.19	it's up
JohnnyoftheWell 05.03.19	"yea sorry I didnt do this I just couldn't have cared less about that album lol" "also, I can't request another album, can I?" Really sorry guys, tried to match them up in a way that seemed vaguely sensible based on tastes but it's not like I had time to check most of the albums before assigning :[ If anyone wants to swap albums, feel free, but it's probs best to focus on the exciting new round at this point!
Papa Universe 05.03.19	LOVEANDACCEPTANCE, you wanna swap albums?
bgillesp 05.03.19	I think I’ll have this up tomorrow
tyman128 05.04.19	Finally finished it... gotta fix that album art tho
bgillesp 05.04.19	Review coming this afternoon. Done writing, just gotta check for grammar and stuff.
bgillesp 05.05.19	Afternoon became evening, but here it is: https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/79510/Remeo-Momentaneous/
TheSupernatural 05.05.19	I've been behind with everything the last couple weeks but hoping to get my review done in the next couple days. I've begun on it but really want to dig in to the music since the lyrics are all Japanese and... well, I don't know any Japanese. Good news is I dig the album so it'll be a positive one
JohnnyoftheWell 05.05.19	Nice work guys, genuinely impressed by how high the ratio of reviewed:unreviewed is (with more to come ofc ;]) @Supernatural no worries about the delay! and while getting into the lyrics is always good, I wouldn't stress too much about it considering half those songs are basically jam tracks
tyman128 05.05.19	quick question, can anyone try to fix the album artwork for Dear Seattle, I've tried but it won't work for me
0GuyMan0 05.08.19	papa, can I nominate a replacement album for you? it's one of the sickest, best unknown bands I've ever known. they play an intense brand of metalcore like early nj or etid.
Papa Universe 05.09.19	well, LOVEANDACCEPTANCE never replied, so if it's okay with JohnnyoftheAdministration, then shoot, bub
JohnnyoftheWell 05.09.19	Administration says ooh yes go for it!!
Papa Universe 05.09.19	aight.
butt. 05.09.19	someone gimme a reviewless album and I'll consider doing one lol no promises tho
Papa Universe 05.09.19	Firehouse - Hold Your Fire good luck with that one
0GuyMan0 05.10.19	@Papa - The Orangeburg Massacre - Moorea. Saw them on what was effectively a house tour in like '06 after they had already decided to break up. Try not to break whatever you're holding when it kicks in!
Papa Universe 05.10.19	okay
TheSupernatural 05.10.19	Finally published mine! Glad I got around to it this week, I actually really enjoyed the album a lot more on second and third listens. https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/79530/Mass-of-the-Fermenting-Dregs-Mass-of-the-Fermenting-Dregs
Dewinged 05.10.19	Homework done, hope Fripp is happy. https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/79532/Secret-Chiefs-3-Book-M/
0GuyMan0 05.12.19	good review man
Dewinged 05.12.19	Thanks dude. The album was good fun.
Trifolium 06.03.19	Mine's up, better late than never: https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/79640/Dot-Allison-Afterglow/#lastpost Sorry bgillesp
Papa Universe 06.25.19	first thing's first, 0GuyMan0 and I agreed that I will not be reviewing Firehouse, but Orangeburg Massacre. secondly, it's up.
dmathias52 07.07.19	Would people be interested in another one of these? Either any album or a 2019 edition. I’d put it together if there’s interest!
JohnnyoftheWell 07.07.19	I have been so so so slow and still need to do mine for Papa's iteration of this so can't commit to a new one yet, but otherwise would definitely be interested!!
bgillesp 07.07.19	Almost all done. Better than Fripp’s last year for completion rate
