The Album Review Club - Week #122 - (page 1438) A Black Mile To The Surface – Manchester Orchestra

[FogBlueInSanFran]

Vocals never bother me seen as I’m a Dylan fan!

Is that a challenge? :)

I was going to do something quite accessible my next time round on this thread but I can stretch the envelope if you want me to . . . .

Wait til he hears my choice next time!

Results are in for Week #10. Although @denislawsbackheel 's choice bucked the trend by the scores improving as the week went on, they weren't enough to save him from being marooned at the foot of the scoreboard. To be fair, after the start some of us gave the album, it needed snookers even before the weekend.

The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter by The Incredible String Band pulled in 15 votes at an average of 4.52.

Still, I think that we can all agree that it was a brave choice that some people enjoyed and it certainly got us talking, which is no bad thing. Just make sure you visit more often and vote on a few more albums @denislawsbackheel.

With that, I'll invite this week's nominator, @GoatersLeftShin, to the stage , who can offer you all a clue to his offering (good luck guessing it, though!). Although as we've now done 10 weeks, I'll be posting a few stats soon.

The top 20 posters so far.

Although remember plenty of us in the top 12 have also been nominator for a week so that's 8 of us with an ever-present record.

@Mancitydoogle is the only poster who has voted every week but is not yet on the nominators list. Fancy throwing your hat in the ring for a nomination?

Sure, I promise it won’t be Lou Reeds ‘Metal Machine music’ although I’m a big Reed fan

 

[denislawsbackheel]

I guarantee my next choice will score less than the Incredible String Band…

 

[bennyboy]

Is there a page with the albums in average score order.Surprisingly I think Oasis is my highest score.

 

[Marklr]

ISB score from me...3/10 I couldn't handle it. I tried.

Page #1 of this thread is updated weekly with the overall leaderboard - that has the average score for each album.
As it's week #10, I'll bung it in here as well.

I can confirm that The Masterplan by Oasis was your top score at 7.5.
