Im gonna do something interesting

[Shadowmancer]

different to the Grammy's WZ music awards. I am gonna cover off the metal/Hard Rock Albums of the year.

need the following to also occur

-Punk Album of the Year
-Pop Album of the Year
-Rap Album of the Year
-Electronic Album of the Year
-Rock Album of the year

Rule being that the album must have come out this year. From January 1st 2009 through to pretty much today. You must also be able to back your choices with Reviews from reputable sources, ie Metal Hammer(ie music magazines), AllMusic, MetaCritic, legit music critics. Five albums is the limit they must be posted in the poll.

 

[Shadowmancer]

I actually need volunteers for this.

 

[Lee]

I would shadow, but I hate music.

 

[Lee]

Though this seems like a great idea...I think NSL is your man, drop him a PM.

 

[PEP3]

Holy shit, from a writer's perspective, AllMusic reviews are AWFUL. Let me repeat that. AWFUL! I can barely stand to read the fucking things. I pity whomever combs through those to come up with nominations on this thread.

 

[Shadowmancer]

I use AllMusic for the end result not the actual writing of it. They give a star rating. Thats what I mean. And they are still a legit music critic site.

 

[Shadowmancer]

Any volunteers?

 

[The Dewbliners]

I'll volunteer to possibly volunteer, Shadow. I don't know how much time I'll have to contribute though. One question, what category would Dethalbum II fall into?

 

[Shadowmancer]

Metal/Hard Rock most likely, though it is possible to add more categories.

 

[Shadowmancer]

Any volunteers?

 

[Mr. TM]

I could. When you need it by?

 

[Dave]

I'll do it.

 

[Shadowmancer]

hopefully by the end of the week, just say what one you want and post up the thread in the Music section by the end of the week with a poll and a voting deadline of Midnight December 31 NZT

 

[Ty Burna]

Can I cover the hip hop section Shadow?

 

[Shadowmancer]

indeed you can Ty, waiting for you to volunteer for it.

 

[Ty Burna]

Count me in then.

 

[Mr. TM]

Do we just do one album? Or a set?

Oh, and I would do "Punk"

 

[Shadowmancer]

there is another two people that I would say should be volunteering though I don't know if one of them is on the board much right now.

 

[Shadowmancer]

you cover off the five albums in a general sense with a few ratings for the albums, maybe a couple of personal thoughts on it.

 

[Dave]

I'll do pop, if you want?

 

[Mr. TM]

Id be a lot better at doing 5 punk albums, but I can try one of each.

 

[Shadowmancer]

you do five punk albums

 

[Shadowmancer]

Any more volunteers?

 

[Tastycles]

I would do pop, but it's gone. I don't think I know enough about what most people would call rock/electronic.

 

[Viola Moonlight]

Unless you have any takers or preferred people to perform the job of reviewing five rock albums, I could be up for the position if you like. If I were to do it, would I have to include country or is that something completely away from rock?
