But is it possible to continue and make it almost like a series, because I think you guys already did the Saturdays' last album...?

Nope! NONE of the albums by the British girl groups have been done.

We could do a two-part series; the next would be Spiceworld/Saints and Sinners/Angels with Dirty Faces/What Would the Neighbours Say?/Wordshaker + Headlines EP (It's only fair).

Can't do much more than that though. But I'm really excited at the idea of the two-part series!

Thanks so much for organizing it and adding some suggestions!

I'm going to have to listen to all of these EPs and edit some out because right now, there are a bit too many. But I will say a definite yes to MS MR. No to Charli, it's only two songs and they've already been in another rate. And no to Strange Talk if it was released in 2011. But I'll get back to you on the others!

And Michael, I'll investigate Noosa as well.

OK! I'm looking forward to getting to know some new music! I only knew a few of these EPs.

And what is currently running for the artist singles rate?

I cant wait to start my Black Eyed Peas rate

Great question!

So, it's looking like:

Rihanna - Shakira - Black Eyed Peas - Sugababes - Beyoncé

Radiohead - Mariah - Missy - Jennifer Lopez - Coldplay

So you'll be within a month!

Question for the Mariah rate - should the radically different remix versions of certain singles (Fantasy with ODB, The Roof [Stay Awhile] with Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz, Thank God I Found You with Joe and Nas, Heartbreaker with Missy and Da Brat, We Belong Together with Jadakiss and Styles, Don't Forget About Us with Jermaine Dupri) count as their own entities? They're basically different songs.

You're doing a singles rate right? Can you can add the Mr. Dupri Mix of "Always Be My Baby", "I Still Believe" (Pure Imagination) and The Drifting Remix for "Underneath The Stars"?

It's only fair.

OK, so I have decided that hosting a rate really is not that bad, I just can't do it in a rush, which is what I was trying to do the first two updates. So, I'm bringing this back up for discussion.

What do we think of this...

Critically acclaimed Alternative/Indie 2011 album releases;

Wounded Rhymes - Lykke Li
M83 - Hurry Up, We're Dreaming
Feist - Metals
Bon Iver - Bon Iver

I think those four are solid candidates. And though Hurry Up, We're Dreaming is quite long. Wounded Rhymes and Bon Iver are both only ten tracks. That in total adds up to 54 tracks. I still think we could add maybe one or two more albums. Lykke Li was featured in Sweden Rocks! and I believe Feist will be in the Great Canadian Rate, but both of those are single rates. This is obviously an album rate.

~~Florence + The Machine - Ceremonials~~
~~Foster The People - Torches~~
The Black Keys - El Camino

Also, I won't be able to do this for quite a while. December at the earliest. I have to focus on getting into college this fall. So, let's mull this over. I'm totally up to adding more albums to make this work.

OK, so this is the final list that I was thinking of, with the included metacritic score;

Wounded Rhymes - Lykke Li (83)
M83 - Hurry Up, We're Dreaming (76)
Feist - Metals (81)
Bon Iver - Bon Iver (86)
The Black Keys - El Camino (84)

It has folk, retro, electronic, rock and blues influences. I think it could be really good.

Here's a complete list of songs;

Song List

Total Songs; 65
Total Songs (without M83); 43 + someone else...?

One final thought for this post; M83 does have the lowest score, and would probably be the biggest obstacle for getting people to vote. So I am game to have him swapped for someone else. Although, I do think he fits very well.

umich

The Dr Luke Singles Rate is still on. Voting ends next Thursday, August 30, 2012. Get in.

Yeah, this will be This Was 2011 part 2! It's already been approved.

Right. I couldn't completely remember.

Any idea when it would start? I'm thinking like December at the earliest.

Slash, is this Niche or Blockbuster?

I'd like to do a rate but I have a question - can your rate only have albums that haven't been rated yet or are there other rules that I'm missing?

I'm trying to think of a rate that can involve Madonna and Kylie

Right. You can't do any album that has come before.

You can do a 2002 - 2004 Diva Decline Rate: Charmbracelet/American Life/Just Whitney/Body Language/Damita Jo. Epic in its badness.

Thanks for the info.

That sounds...brilliant

Can you sign me up for that?

EDIT - I just checked Damito Jo's tracklisting and it's got six tracks under 90 seconds. Would I be allowed to take those tracks out of the rate since they'd just be a nuisance? Just came to my mind

Ace Reject

Oh no, take those useless interludes out!

BTW, will you be using bonus tracks?

December's good.

It's a part of the THIS WAS list. You're like sixth in the queue.
