Why do I always come up with massive project ideas
Anyway!
How would you feel about weekly/monthly chances to review H!P albums and singles? Would you be interested in listening and reviewing them, even ones by groups that currently aren't your favourites?
The reviews would be in association with reviving the H!P discography thread in the Asshole, since somebody would need to upload the songs for others to sample.
I am opening a discussion for this because I need opinions, feedback etc.!
Brainstorming and problems:1. I was thinking of featuring one album and 2-3 singles a week. Too much? Too little? Should the album be once a month instead?
Problem: How to decide which album and singles are featured?
I would suggest going by release order because constant new releases would complicate a randomized system (and they are already discussed in the news section, anyway). It would mean that we'd start old school, give the new fans a chance to see what H!P was like at the beginning and perhaps discover songs/groups that they would've ignored otherwise.
2. If both reviews were weekly, album and single discussion would be started on different days of the week (for example, album on Tuesday and singles on Saturday). This is so that nobody would be discouraged by the feeling of having to review so much at once and ending up not taking part at all.
3. The hard work part:
a.) In order to do this we would need
a complete list of H!P releases, and if we were going by release order, we'd need to have the release dates, as well. So... Who would be crazy enough to work on that?
I'm currently too busy with studies myself. (One could also just do one group at a time, then we'd combine them at the end into one loooong list... So it could be done as a group effort instead of just one person working their butt off :3)
b.) We'd need volunteers to upload the songs for others to sample.
4. Once the list was ready it would be posted available to everyone so that anyone could open a new thread once it was time for new review discussion.
5. And yes, each review would get their own thread, which would most likely remain open, so even if you were late with your review it wouldn't matter.
SO I guess it's a lot to think about, but would anyone be interested in something like this? Ideas, suggestions, bumshake?
EDIT:
Oh and about the reviews. Well, this would be everyone's chance to pretend they were a music reviewer for a magazine or some shit.
You could potentionally have a lot of fun with it. Come up with your own review system and so on (stars? thumbs up/down? school grading? going by one song at a time or the whole album/single? etc)
