It's a bugger updating the ever-lengthening table every week.
I agree if there's any way to share the spreadsheet pain of getting the scores right, that's always an option. Have a second pair of eyeballs on it for QC.
Joking aside, what are peoples feelings on this? Should we drop the scoring after this round?
As one of the newer ones to this, I'll add that I'm still up for keeping it too. I don't take offense on scores as that's all personal, and I in general try to stick to Foggy's score outline give or take. But this week, if I get a surprise album that I like that I've never heard, I'll tend to score that higher than a similarly enjoyed album (hmm, maybe INXS
LLTs?) that I have heard before and may enjoy just as much on a tracks perspective, but I didn't have before.
And sure, I agree with
@Out on blue 6 that there are likely obvious albums out there that would potentially score higher, but that's not why I'm here or hoping to share with others on an album that has affected me in a certain way. If it doesn't score well, then so be it. But if it reaches one person and they get to appreciate it, then that's what matters to me.
I'm a better enjoyer of (various) music having now heard the Streets, Aphex Twin, a full Waterboys album, The Budos Band, The Midnight, and Domenique Dumont. The list goes on. I wasn't around for J.J. Cale's selection, but I gave that a spin knowing that people I (mostly ;-) trust here gave it the scores it received. That was well worth it. I enjoyed that and The Streets for both ends of the table for different reasons.
Although I don't get hung up on the scores, I like to go on record on each one, and the experience of hearing and discussing other selections I wouldn't have otherwise.
