bgillesp 02.05.18	Heck, doesn't matter, I'll do it. My rec is Dot Allison- Afterglow
Frippertronics 02.05.18	I was thinking year-long, but the deadline will be to June.
Frippertronics 02.05.18	@Pops your album thoooooooo
Papa Universe 02.05.18	Griddle - Meat Kite
bgillesp 02.05.18	Oh, that's plenty o' time. I'll be back when albums are assigned I guess
Frippertronics 02.05.18	Consider this my making-up of the rec game hiatus
bgillesp 02.05.18	...or we could just actually continue it? Ya know, whenever you're ready... :)
bgillesp 02.05.18	Just messing with you of course. I'm excited to see what I get here.
Frippertronics 02.05.18	Yeah, now to play the waiting game...
VaxXi 02.05.18	AaRON - We Cut the Night
Frivolous 02.05.18	linda perhacs - parallelograms
Conmaniac 02.05.18	Forever Losing Sleep - I Lost Myself Again some deja vu shit here, excited tho
Assemblage 02.05.18	Lowlife - Permanent Sleep
Feather 02.05.18	commenting on here so I remember to post tomorrow!
50iL 02.05.18	I'll go ahead and pitch in Louis Armstrong - What a Wonderful World Fun album for sure
Conmaniac 02.05.18	it’s a bit more post-hardcore / shoegaze than emo but ok
Dewinged 02.05.18	I am still wating for that Sinternet review of Gidge from the last game. Anyway, I am in. My album would be Mary Beats Jane - Locust
neekafat 02.05.18	Desert Sessions - Volumes 7 & 8 desert rock/psychedelic idk
Dedes 02.05.18	Beastmilk-Climax
Frippertronics 02.05.18	"it’s a bit more post-hardcore / shoegaze than emo but ok" going by rym descriptors
Ebola 02.05.18	Cyborg Octopus - Learning to Breathe Progressive Metal, Death Metal, Experimental
Frippertronics 02.05.18	dede, your choice will not be allowed "album with NO reviews"
Dedes 02.05.18	How did I miss that haha oops
Dedes 02.05.18	Ok ok Inquisition-Magnificent Glorification of Lucifer
Aberf 02.05.18	Shojoskip - Cosodorokitsune [Post-rock/gaze]
BlazinBlitzer 02.05.18	I'll review that one album you assigned me last year and then I'll enter this contest.
ElHombreChino 02.05.18	How is it random if we choose the album?
bgillesp 02.05.18	We give a rec, we are assigned to review someone else's. Basically we are trading recs in a big scramble
ElHombreChino 02.05.18	oh i get it thanks! I'm In! My pick is Corpo-Mente by Corpo-Mente
Feather 02.05.18	Yoke Lore (not in the data base will have to be added) Goodpain EP Indie Pop/Rock OR Whitney Light UPon the Lake Indie Rock OR McCafferty Beachboy Pop Punk (sound identical to old The Front Bottoms) OR The Lonely Biscuits Come Around EP Indie Rock, kinda beachy
Feather 02.05.18	I'll edit this later so its just one of those, Sorry!
Conmaniac 02.05.18	def whitney is most needing of a review
SandwichBubble 02.05.18	@Feather Yoke Lore: https://www.sputnikmusic.com/soundoff.php?albumid=275610
Feather 02.05.18	@Con you're damn right. Of the ones I listed let's go with Whitney (96 ratings, just under the limit)! Damn now I'm finding out tons of groups I've seen recently dont have reviews/aren't even in the database. May have to fix that
Divaman 02.05.18	The Cars - Door to Door (Post Punk/Pop Rock) I entered it last year, but the fellow it got assigned to never reviewed it. So I'm throwing it back into the mix.
McTime50 02.05.18	I'm gonna reuse the album I put in last year since it didn't even get touched by the person who got it. Here's goes nothing. Rarity - I Couldn't Be Weaker Can't wait to review another album, last years was fun.
BlazinBlitzer 02.05.18	That's the album I was referring to. I'm gonna get on it as soon as possible.
McTime50 02.05.18	Oh , ok then. I'll switch it to : The Maine - Lovely Little Lonely
BlazinBlitzer 02.05.18	I'm pretty surprised that one doesn't have a review yet.
Frippertronics 02.05.18	Additions have been made. In order to keep things immediate, I'll probably cut this off around 25 people.
Conmaniac 02.05.18	excited for this
Aberf 02.05.18	Well, this could potentially be my first negative review.
Divaman 02.05.18	Sometimes those can be the most fun to write, Aberf.
Feather 02.06.18	Oh lemme get at that The Maine album! I meant to listen to that guy at some point @McTime
Papa Universe 02.06.18	can i get dibs on either Cars or Lowlife?
TheSpirit 02.06.18	Jute Gyte/Spectral - Helian
Winesburgohio 02.06.18	i would love to see someone's take on Simple Affections
Hawks 02.06.18	The Black - The Priest of Satan (Melodic black/death metal, 1994)
ktjammin 02.06.18	It's been too long, I'll bite. Corrupt Moral Altar - Eunoia
Frippertronics 02.06.18	Three slots left.
Frippertronics 02.06.18	Not in the database.
Frippertronics 02.06.18	Oh nvm it's more like someone got lazy with putting it on the site
Mort. 02.06.18	five minute ride - the world needs convincing
Frippertronics 02.06.18	One spot.
50iL 02.06.18	No one else joining?
Papa Universe 02.06.18	we can do with 24..
Papa Universe 02.06.18	someone get butcherboy
Conmaniac 02.07.18	cmon let’s fill that spot
Dewinged 02.07.18	Someone? Anyone?
bgillesp 02.07.18	I hope I get one of the first 7 to review whenever someone else gets up the courage to join
BlazinBlitzer 02.07.18	Alright, alright, count me in. I'll get that other Rarity review done asap before I get into this game, but I'll reserve this spot for now. Gallops - Bronze Mystic (2017): electronic, math rock.
McTime50 02.07.18	let the games begin
McTime50 02.07.18	also can't wait to see that review Blitz, a year in the making :-)
Hawks 02.07.18	This is gonna be fun, haven't reviewed consistently at all for the past few years so maybe this will get me going again.
Assemblage 02.07.18	Sort of the same for me, I haven't had the courage to write a review yet so this is a great opportunity for me to try it out with little bias and actual dedication. Excited!
ramon. 02.07.18	sister grotto - you don’t have to be a house to be haunted I can’t remember what kinda music it is but it’s probably atmosphere-y
Frippertronics 02.07.18	26 spots will do. Selections in a few minutes.
Frippertronics 02.07.18	it be dunn
Mort. 02.07.18	givien me some dumb shit i see jk will check in a bit thanks for all the hard work you do fripperino you gooooob
bgillesp 02.07.18	I wanted yours Fripp, but this one looks really cool too. Do Dot justice Assemblage
bgillesp 02.07.18	You're gonna review metal Fripp??
Assemblage 02.07.18	Sweet, hope you like bgillesp!
Frippertronics 02.07.18	i mean, nothing's really stopping you from going after the titles you wanted but have at it over/under on how many will actually be done: 4
Frippertronics 02.07.18	"you're gonna review metal" the rules beckon me to, and I'd probably say the last metal review I did was the Scott Walker/Sunn O))) record in 2014.
TheSpirit 02.07.18	Thanks for giving me something I'm totally unfamiliar with Fripp, both artist and genre-wise. I don't mean that ironically or snarkily either, genuinely looking forward to trying to review something I am completely in the dark about. Oh hey, and you're going to review my rec, so that's also swell :]
Conmaniac 02.07.18	oh shit u gave Papa some emo shit, I think he will dig tho and I got a Cars album with a 2.9 avg hahah. legit happy tho cuz I've been meaning to do a negative review !
Frippertronics 02.07.18	don't go into an album expecting bad things if this site has taught you anything, the averages mean absolutely nothing
Frippertronics 02.07.18	"Thanks for giving me something I'm totally unfamiliar with Fripp, both artist and genre-wise." I talked to [redacted] about these games and their purpose, and I feel like the challenge of tackling something you're very unfamiliar with is the sole reason for this. Otherwise, it'd be lame to get something you'd have an easy time with.
Conmaniac 02.07.18	I don't think I could handle a full regular Cars album to begin with, but maybe they did some wacky shit with this one, who knows ur right
Frippertronics 02.07.18	those first four Cars records are 80s new wave classics boyo
butcherboy 02.07.18	i want no part of this insidious communal effort.. new review series coming next week!
Frivolous 02.07.18	im reviewing the album i suggested?
bgillesp 02.07.18	Ill take over. I bet 13 will get done
Frippertronics 02.07.18	the randomizer is faulty fixed
bgillesp 02.07.18	Wait, you changed mine.
bgillesp 02.07.18	Oh, I see why. Thats fine
Frippertronics 02.07.18	because Friv ended up getting his album, so I swapped yours with his (site's beginning to slow down idk)
McTime50 02.07.18	Looooool, Blitz gets my album again? Still waiting on last years...
TheSpirit 02.07.18	"I talked to [redacted] about these games and their purpose, and I feel like the challenge of tackling something you're very unfamiliar with is the sole reason for this. Otherwise, it'd be lame to get something you'd have an easy time with." I totally agree!
Feather 02.07.18	Oh boy, I think I'm gunna really dig mine!
Papa Universe 02.07.18	"midwest emo, post-rock" https://media.giphy.com/media/zzAVSzjDlz9Cg/giphy.gif
Aberf 02.07.18	here we go!!
Feather 02.07.18	@Papa I'd trade with you if I wasn't pumped for mine, so you should probably ask on this thread for trades. Sputnik is full of midwest emos :-)
Frippertronics 02.07.18	No trades.
Papa Universe 02.07.18	get ready for an inevitable 2.0 review
Papa Universe 02.07.18	but definitely a full on 5.0 revue
Feather 02.07.18	SAD!
McTime50 02.07.18	No seriously, what are the odds that the same guy as last year gets an album from me? I guess it's not that low, but still.
Hawks 02.08.18	24 sounds awesome, gonna jam a few times tonight.
Dewinged 02.08.18	Desert Sessions? NICE.
Divaman 02.08.18	Was a little leary of #9 -- I'm not much of a metal guy. But after giving it a quick listen, I can make it work. I'm glad you got The Cars album, Conmaniac -- at least I know you'll actually review it.
ktjammin 02.08.18	That album art is wild, I'll check this soon.
Frippertronics 02.08.18	sure!
McTime50 02.08.18	I'm putting mine up tomorrow, kinda of a concept thing. The album I got was realling inspiring for it.
Hawks 02.08.18	Damn you guys are fast.
bgillesp 02.08.18	I'm just now getting a chance to jam mine
Hawks 02.08.18	Haven't even jammed mine yet lol.
Dewinged 02.08.18	I jammed mine once, will start drafting tonight if work doesn't kill my creativity.
bgillesp 02.08.18	I'll write a draft this weekend but it may be up to a month before I'll have time to give it my full attention. We'll see
McTime50 02.08.18	I'm hope my album actually gets reviewed this year tbh, that's all I really want out this.
Hawks 02.08.18	Just jammed mine, fucking amazing album. Haven't heard anything quite like it before tbh. The way it mixes electronic, math rock and post rock is incredible. Might be a challenge to review since that's not really my area of expertise, but I'm gonna jam a lot more before I start. m/
Divaman 02.08.18	I'm going to take my time before I write this one -- I've already got a list of stuff to review -- but I'll keep listening to it, and it's now officially on the list.
ktjammin 02.08.18	I need to give mine a few more listens. Great album, I'm glad I got something way out of my comfort zone.
50iL 02.08.18	Looks like I got a cool record, can’t wait to jam
Dedes 02.08.18	I'm on my rec now. Shit is smoottthhh.
McTime50 02.08.18	alright, mine's up here: https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/76110/Sister-Grotto-You-Dont-Have-To-Be-a-House-to-Be-Haunted/
BlazinBlitzer 02.09.18	I've been at a week-long convention, but I have the ratings for those two albums set so I just have to review them within the next few days (I have an interview tomorrow).
bgillesp 02.11.18	Friv, this is too beautiful for me to do it justice. Gonna try but it'll take me a while
bgillesp 02.11.18	Got a decent intro written that I'm happy with but I don't know where to start on the music and I've jammed it 10 times by now
Conmaniac 02.12.18	how many of these are done? got my initial listen thru done, hoping to crank it out soon
Frippertronics 02.12.18	three so far
bgillesp 02.12.18	Only 2 so far. I'm struggling to get a draft out. Gonna take a break from the album and revisit it later this week and spew words. I can edit it after that I guess
Hawks 02.12.18	Same. ^^^^^
bgillesp 02.12.18	Which one besides mctime and Bloon?
Frippertronics 02.12.18	m e e e e e e e e e
bgillesp 02.12.18	Oh yeah. I read that earlier but forgot it was for this thingy. Haven't listened to know if I agree but it's well written
Dedes 02.12.18	Once we finish our review should we post it here or nah?
Dedes 02.12.18	Fuck it here it is https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/76143/Whitney-Light-Upon-the-Lake/#lastpost
Feather 02.12.18	Ayyyy nice review kingdede, glad you surprisingly liked it
TheSpirit 02.12.18	mine will be up dis weekend probs sunday
Papa Universe 02.13.18	suddenly https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/76150/Forever-Losing-Sleep-I-Lost-Myself-Again/
Dewinged 02.14.18	Slacking on this, will try to get it done this week.
neekafat 02.14.18	Oh boy
Papa Universe 02.17.18	how is this, folks?
Dewinged 02.17.18	10 is done but I had some technical issues. Waiting for a fix.
bgillesp 02.17.18	Trying to write a draft now but nothing is coming to me at all :/
ElHombreChino 02.18.18	I'm writing mine, trying to be not to hard on it. But I'm really not enjoying Inquisition...
Dewinged 02.18.18	Forgot to copy it here: https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/76189/Desert-Sessions-Volumes-7-and-8/#lastpost
bgillesp 02.18.18	............. Covering up for post in wrong thread
Aberf 02.18.18	I'm having a hard time digesting the music that I got.
budgie 02.18.18	https://lilletblanc.bandcamp.com/album/casco-bay-2 can i propose this for a review?
Papa Universe 02.18.18	I believe it's a tad too late.
bgillesp 02.22.18	Hello friends! I just finished a draft for my review but really feel like it needs some work. Is there anyone willing to offer some suggestions before I post it? Thanks in advance to you gracious souls more versed in the literary arts than I
bgillesp 02.23.18	Please?
bgillesp 02.23.18	I guarantee someone will give you their album if you ask
Dewinged 02.23.18	I can check it out if you want bgill
Frippertronics 02.23.18	[redacted] left the site, so you can have his album if you like it's 19
Hawks 02.23.18	Yeah Mayhem do it that's my album. m/
Papa Universe 02.24.18	Will this be updated?
bgillesp 02.25.18	The world may never know..? I should have mine posted this week. Getting feedback from Dewi now
ElHombreChino 02.25.18	https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/76273/Inquisition-Magnificent-Glorification-of-Lucifer/#comments Here's mine. Sorry dede I really don't like them...
ElHombreChino 02.26.18	The reception wasn't good at all ... haha I have a Magnificent "1 out of 10 thought this review was well written"
bgillesp 02.27.18	https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/76281/Linda-Perhacs-Parallelograms/ Woohoo, huge thanks to Dewi for the editing help!!
bgillesp 02.27.18	So that's 8/26 so far. Almost 1/3 of the way there
Frippertronics 02.27.18	Here's extra incentive: if we can complete this, I will select a random user for ~interviewing~
neekafat 02.27.18	Ayyyyyy I promise I will get this done as soon as life settles down, you know I'm good for my word
bgillesp 02.27.18	What if we just get 75%? We'll never finish this
Frippertronics 02.27.18	That's a reasonable amount.
bgillesp 02.28.18	We still probably won't hit that though... You gonna add the links to the list?
Conmaniac 03.05.18	mine's up https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/76344/The-Cars-Door-to-Door/
bgillesp 03.06.18	9/26
Divaman 03.06.18	Mine is a definite. Might take me another month or so (CD is on back order, and I don't want to write it just off of YouTube), but unless somebody takes me out between now and then, it will get done.
bgillesp 03.18.18	Bump in hopes for participation/update
Assemblage 03.19.18	I haven't forgotten about mine yet, gonna try to tackle it this week!
Papa Universe 03.19.18	any updates of the list coming up?
neekafat 03.24.18	Review dropping momentarily
neekafat 03.24.18	I did the thing! https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/76507/Corpo-Mente-Corpo-Mente/
bgillesp 03.24.18	10/26
Divaman 04.09.18	Better late than never. https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/76668/Mary-Beats-Jane-Locust/ Guess that's 11/26. Almost at 50%.
bgillesp 04.10.18	11/26. Almost halfway!
Divaman 05.25.18	Hmm. This seems to have stalled badly, huh?
bgillesp 05.25.18	Yeah.....
Conmaniac 05.25.18	11/26 is my bday!
bgillesp 05.25.18	Neat! Does that mean we win Fripp?
Conmaniac 05.25.18	i think so!!!!!
50iL 06.01.18	Mine is already done; just need to proofread it
bgillesp 06.01.18	Frippy can we get an update on da list pls?
50iL 06.03.18	Well, here it is: https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/77222/Corrupt-Moral-Altar-Eunoia/#lastpost
Aberf 06.03.18	I'm starting on this one.
bgillesp 06.03.18	12/26
Aberf 06.03.18	I just remembered that I got the weirdest rec of my life. I can't even describe this as a music normally.
50iL 06.03.18	Describing a music is hard bro
Aberf 06.03.18	Can confirm, I usually take weeks to finish a review. But the record that I got is barely even music lol.
bgillesp 06.03.18	Yeah, Wines digs weird stuff.
Aberf 06.03.18	We live in 2018 while Wines lives in 2818. Our mental capacity hasn't really evolved enough to understand what Wines digs.
bgillesp 07.10.18	Anyone wanna read over a review for me before I post it? Wrote it in a different style kind of and I want to see if it worked okay. Also..... b-b-b-bump
Papa Universe 07.10.18	yeah alright.
bgillesp 07.10.18	How you want it?
Papa Universe 07.10.18	in shoutbox
bgillesp 07.10.18	huh? is there not a character limit in there?
Papa Universe 07.10.18	or in google docs
bgillesp 07.10.18	Alright, will shoutbox you a link for that. You not made a sput email yet?
Papa Universe 07.10.18	you'll have to give me a second, I'll have to dig up a password for one of my real ones
McTime50 11.01.18	this exists btw
SandwichBubble 11.01.18	Not in this reality apparently
Papa Universe 12.19.18	remember this still?
McTime50 12.20.18	nope
bgillesp 12.20.18	So we almost got to halfway
