Ever wonder why people hate an album that you love, or love an album that you hate? Ever wanted to see if you could convince them otherwise? I thought it would be cool if maybe every couple of weeks or so we were to pick an album that we all wanted to discuss and start a thread on it. I think sometimes it can be cool to dialogue with people who might have differing opinions on albums. You might end up agreeing to disagree, or one of you might end up changing your minds, but at the very least you'll get to understand one another better. Criteria for Album Selection: I think this thread would be good for people to suggest albums, and then whichever suggestions get the most interest would be a good choice for the next topic. When suggesting albums, please make sure that they are at least somewhat well-known. I know that this is pretty subjective, but an album that three other people have heard won't make for very good discussion. The more popular the album is, the more (and arguably better) discussion you can have. Be careful when choosing "sacred" albums (i.e. anything in the PA Top 10 or so). Nothing wrong with discussing those, but just be aware that there might be tons of fanboys to mindlessly defend it, or sacred cow slaughterers to mindlessly bash it, so intelligent discussion might be difficult. But then again, maybe that won't happen. As far as the actual discussion goes, if you've done a review for the album then feel free to post the review in the thread. PLEASE do NOT reference any reviews on the site if their authour has not posted them in the thread, unless it's in a very general way (i.e. saying "I disagree with a lot of reviewers who feel that this album is too short" is fine, saying "Review X by user Y is totally bogus" is not). There's nothing cool about trashing someone's opinion when they aren't there to defend it. Apart from that, the idea of the thread is to see if we can get some good discussions going about some music, so try to make sure your comments are intelligent and helpful. "OMG tis album is suxz!" is not a post destined to go down in PA history as a valuable contribution. So what do you think? Anyone interested? We've got tons of reviews on the site, but a review page is a collection of monologues (and rightfully so). This is the opportunity to dialogue. I thought that maybe a good album to kick things off would be King Crimson's Starless and Bible Black, but whatever people would be most interested in talking about. |

I was just thinking about something similar a while ago. I thought that it would be cool to listen to an album as a community and then discuss it, but this is pretty much the same thing, I like the idea. As for the album I was thinking of something that has varied reviews, like Tales From Topographic Oceans. |

I like the idea. Albums that are well known, or by well known artists that have a lot of mixed reviews would be good subjects. This would mean most albums would be in the overall 2 - 4 star range, and would eliminate the most loved and most derided. The two suggestions so far, Starless and Bible Black, and Tales From Topographic Oceans fit the criteria well, I think. I would like to suggest Genesis by Genesis as well, or 80s Tull such as Broadsword and the Beast or Crest of a Knave. We may just get overwhelmed by suggestions on this! ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

Yeah, I think it would be good for discussing albums that are in the back catalogue and aren't discussed anymore because they aren't considered the "masterpiece" of the band or otherwise aren't rated that highly.
Ones that I would enjoy participating in:
In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 - Coheed and Cambria
Trespass - Genesis
F#A# ∞ - GYBE!
Powerslave - Iron Maiden
The Power To Believe - King Crimson
Frances the Mute - The Mars Volta
Nothing - Meshuggah
S&M - Metallica
Morningrise - Opeth
Also, not prog but I'd like to discuss these eventually. Maybe people wouldn't want to cause my NIN appreciation thread died a horrible death though.
The Downward Spiral or The Fragile by Nine Inch Nails -------------

Excellent idea!!!

Hi,
I would like to see a thread for reviews only ... not comments ... REVIEWS.
The really hard part, is, for example, a couple of things I have posted recently ... which are critical and scholarly essays that do not use "big words" ... to review the works and time. As a quotidian/sociological event, a lot of this music is much more important that its nickname "prog" ... which has nothing to do with the music itself, and is rejected by many of the same artists.
And that forum needs to be MODERATED.
The really hard part is that there are a lot of people that just post for the sake of being disruptive and not necessarily add to the quality or informative nature of the music or artist ... and that, in the end, only brings the music down ...
The important ones I have posted recently ... on the cold war ... on robert fripp ... on genesis' SEBTP ... and sadly a lot of peopleare going to miss that because it is not in a place where the informational side of it is more important than folks saying ... "it's not prog" ...
For our purposes and reasons, that is actually really poor ... but then, how can we expect someone having a vision to do something bigger than themselves? .... only artists can do this ... and that includes the folks that run this board!
You are asking for a bit much ... but if it were me I probably would take out 2 or 3 forums for it.

I'd be happy to discuss Starless and Bible Black, which I think very good, though I'd rather discuss Larks' Tongues in Aspic. Other possibility: Soft Machine's Third.
I would think that the Zeuhl and Zeuhl-related universe would have many delights for you. I'm not sure how many bands/albums you know. Do you know Weidorje? And, though perhaps rather embryonic Zeuhl in some ways, have you heard Magma's Kobaia? I adore that album. What about 1001 Degrees Centrigade? Retrospective 1 and 2? I used to be a Zeuhl completist, and huge on Zeuhl generally, but for a long time, the Zeuhl I listen to by far the most is THE Zeuhl band, Magma. Even if Magma doesn't appeal, others might. I might have thought you'd appreciate the first two Magma albums. ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before.

If i understand you.... But I don't find much interest in only posting reviews in a thread in the discussion forums if we don't comment on them. There are other threads for posting reviews and we have reviews at the site. This is is the discussion part of the site. ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before.

Sorry .,.. not sure what you are referring to ... but these two are hardly "reviews" within the context that is being discussed here.
It's hard to be fair about reviews when looking in the front page and some of those words are not even "reviews" ... they are more a form of advertising than they are a review ... and you are saying this to someone who is an accredited reviewer, btw ...

Well, looks like for the time being Tales From Topographic Oceans has it, might leave this open for a couple more days to see what happens. moshkito: Not for the first time, I'm not entirely sure what you're getting at. I don't see why we would have a thread for reviews without discussion when we have an entire website devoted to reviews without discussion. That's what the PA is, reviews. Sure, a lot of them aren't necessarily of professional calibre, and some of them might just be fanboys gushing, or some elitist muttering about how it "isn't prog enough," but no one's forcing you to read those reviews. So if you want a thread for reviews only, without discussion, go ahead. You'll have to explain to the forum at large, though, why this isn't redundant, because I'm a little confused on that point. If you feel that you personally have a lot to contribute then you should consider blogging in the Prog Blogs subforum. |

Is there any reason not to start a TFTO discussion now (though I don't know that album enough to participate  ) I agree with Teo, everyone like the idea, let's just do it!!! No reason we can't do more than one. I would suggest placing the discussions in the Recommendations / featured albums heading.
P.S. I would love to discuss any of the albums below, and I think all of them except maybe the Brand X album (which is great but not as much to debate) could make for good banter. ------------- You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you.

However the good intentions of thread starter it might be, I'm afraid it's next to pointless...(I hope I'm wrong) I'm not too keen on Close To The Edge, Hybris or Dark Side Of The Moon. While I agree both Hybris and CTTE are good albums, I never understood why they're so often considered masterpieces. I can say the same about the majority of Steve Hackett's output. And DSOTM is not pleasing me at all. I come to point to explain "Pointless" here. I really don't think I'll convince any fanboy that abovementioned albums are actually not that perfect, and of course everybody else will think I'm limited in my perception of the masterpiece, and that I just don't get it for whatever reason. We're all here, no matter our particular taste, moved by music deeply and we're somewhat identifying ourselves with it. It doesn't matter if you prefer late 60's psychedelic folk or technical death metal -- the common denominator is you don't want to listen to the crap that is everyday on the mainstream radio and MTV - and to you your music hold a special, innovative, moving value. Furthermore, as we're taking our music and beloved artist and album(s) very personally, every oposite statement - even if it's not meant to be derogatory, perhaps just a bit cynical - will fall to your heart almost as an insult - even for us who are somewhat wise and calmed down. Perhaps it would be more rewarding too discuss why albums that you consider masterpieces are also masterpieces for somebody else - and for different reasons. |

You know what? You're absolutely right. The longer we wait, the higher the chances of it not happening. Clarke you raise a point, but it is my hope - and perhaps I am naive in this - that people will discuss the albums intelligently. You said you think those albums are good, but you don't see why they're masterpieces. Now's your opportunity to find out. You might not convince fanboys, but ideally not everyone who posts in the thread will be a fanboy. In my OP, I even recommended steering away from albums like the ones you specifically mentioned for just that reason - it can be hard to get a good discussion going. Sure, the disagreements might sometiems just come down to a matter of taste, and people end up just agreeing to disagree, but even then at least your views might be challenged. And sure people might be occasionally offended, but that's life. Every album has it's flaws, and if you can't handle someone pointing out those flaws, then you haven't really got any business critiquing other music, even if it's "mainstream crap." |

moshkito: King Crimson highlighted my concerns with your proposal far better. We do have various topics (threads) that concern posting reviews, and ones where reviews are posted, but they generally involve commentary (to be expected in the discussion part of the site). I see you've edited your post, and so I understand better what you were getting at now. It changes things.

Kudos to KingCrimson250 for the suggestion. I think that this will be an excellent idea. I also liked A Person's idea about the community listening, which although similar is different. Kind of a book club for prog fans. This week we will listen to XXXXXX and gather together on Friday to discuss our likes and dislikes and favorite and least favorite songs/parts of the album. That could be quite fun in a prog geek kind of way. -------------

Thanks!
Hahaha, I rather enjoyed that idea as well. Though you would probably have to let people know a couple of weeks or so in advance as to what the album will be so that people will have time to order it if it isn't readily available, but I suppose as long as it's organized and there's a schedule worked out that shouldn't be an issue. Good way to open people up to other sub-genres as well |

Now that this has been started and there's a TFTO thread started, shouldn't we start deciding which albums to discuss in the future weeks? Maybe this thread should be the thread to decide it and if we're going to have a schedule or something this should be where it will be held.
Haha, this is like a book club, except with albums. -------------

Agreed: a great idea from KingCrimson250 - so can we get it on? TFTO's fine by me. If we choose an album someone doesn't have/hasn't heard it's easy - drop out that week or buy/beg/steal/borrow the album. Whoever said that if we don't start soon we won't start at all is probably right, so, under starter's orders? ------------- It's not that I can't find worth in anything, it's just that I can't find worth in enough. |

There's been a lot of discussion about the merit of such a thread. I'm up for having a live debate as people are listening to the album? I am loathe to suggest TfTO though as I listened to it last night and it hadn't done anything to change my mind. First track OK, steadily moving to dreadful as the album progressed. Hang on, perhaps this is the best choice. Why is it so good? What should I be listening out for? Why was the recording equipment switched on when they were tuning their instruments? There'll probably have to be a number of debates for the same album over a 24 hour period to allow for the time zones.

What if every new album is proposed in this thread. If it gets seconded...lets say.....five times? It goes forward for discussion? In the case of more than one proposal, the first album to have (five?) supporters is the one we go for. Any good? Now If so....if you all agree. I propose that the next person to post, proposes the next album.

If the discussion keeps a civil, respectful tone, I believe this would be an excellent idea. Lately far too many threads have been rehashing the same old, tired ideas, with the results of driving more and more people away from the forums. Even if I don't think you can actually convince other people that they are wrong about an album (it wouldn't be easy to convince me, at least), trying to be somewhat objective when judging something is never a bad idea. However, I also have to say I doubt it will succeed for long, especially when there are people around that use strong words to define people who like something they don't (see the notorious Decemberists thread). It doesn't take much to derail a thread, even the best-intentioned. Anyway, I see that the TFTO thread has already been started, and it's good that people are giving it a try. |

Hah yes, well, even this thread seems to be taking an unpleasant turn... Anyway, topofsm's right, it's about time we start talking about which album we ought to have going next. I'm actually a bit surprised (i.e. impressed) with the current one, on any other music forum I've been on a thread on TFTO would distintegrate into flame wars by page 2. So, any ideas for the next one? |

I agree and don't agree ... I think a place for reviews, just reviews is good ... and the only request is that only reviews are allowed ... no posts ... and it would have to be moderated ...
The only concern I have is someone saying something like ... "this is not prog like ELP" ... and consider that a review! Which you and I know is ludicrous and not a review at all ... now ... if the person mounts an awesome paper and dissultation on the matter is another case altogether, but all too often many of the commentaries are not reviews ... they are just commentaries.
In a way, the appreciation threads for many bands do this ... but it would be really nice if each of these appreciation threads had a separate area where there are real reviews for the music ... instead of the comments and rants ... and that would help this kind of music really get more visible ... right now, as is, there is no concentrated space anywhere where there is enough showing intelligent writing and comments other than fan'dom ... and fandom will be gone tomorrow!
If ithe music is valid, and the work is valid and a lot of us can say enough things about it to show that IT IS VALID, we can make a difference in how this stuff is looked at in the future ... right now, too much of it is just compared to Layla and other radio material and is relegated to the "fan" "favorite" status ... STILL ... and this is sad ... here is some outstanding musicianship by young musicians that are hoping to do something much better than just pop music ... and they can not get a decent discussion, or review ... well, sometimes the opposite comes too ... and we have to accept it ...
... we need to do more to validate the music and the art ... a fan board for an invisible concept ("prog") is not a good indicator of our care for the music ... it's just a fan board!

Posted By: moshkito

Snowdog ... the rock hall of fame is not going to validate the quality and value of this music that we like ... so, if we want it to last and be worth of your attention and mine, we need to do more for it ...
Now, if you don't care, and it's just another song for you, or me ... that is another ball game ... you probably won't remember it when you're 50 ... and I will be dead by then ... see?
So the idea/choice, is to make a proper repository where we can actually archive reviews of a lot of this music and some of the debate, on my part ... is that we draw the line on what is a review since a running commentary is not a review ... and neither is a comment like yours, see?
It's all about the art ... do we care enough to make it last? Or ... does it matter?
Well, it does to me! And it does for some people here ... be it lefthanded or righthanded is less important than the result!

| For what it's worth, I agree with Sergi's suggestion... We have the album, so we could participate to the discussion. |

Raff did it, now I expect somebody could give me the forms to fill them out and the proposal may reach to the authorities...
 Thanks Raff for your support. I´m glad to see that a future discussion about Triana´s album would be interesting for another person too.
I don´t know if anybody want to begin with this, and even if more people see it interesting enough. I´ll wait a while before daring to begin writting myself.
Cheers.
Sergio. ------------- http://img229.imageshack.us/i/bonfirma.jpg/">

Well if you want to start it yourself that is your business. But the officiall one won't start until we have more voters. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Snow_Dog" rel="nofollow">

No problem with that SnowDog. It´s the same I meant to say with "I´ll wait a while..." and "I don´t know if even more people see that album interesting enough".

This thread here was my little contribution to this thread's idea. Please feel free to check out the band and let us know what you think. http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=59071&PID=3300587#3300587 - http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=59071&PID=3300587#3300587
In regards to the 6 albums listed above, I am only somewhat familiar with three of them, but not familiar enough to be much use in a discussion about them. However, I will add my vote to the one album that I am most familiar with. -------------
