I was thinking about the Listeners Club today, and have a new format to suggest (this could run in conjuntion with the existing neglected format).
The idea is to have an Album of the Month thread and Poll. It would go something like this:
Fourtheye readers can suggest on album each that they feel is the best album they listened to that month.
Where possible a nomination should come with some form of stream for the album. Bandcamp is nice, but any format is fine.
Each nomination should come with a review. Preferably more than on sentence for you barely literate fucks out there.
Albums preferably should be new release albums, though don't necessarily need be released in that month. A "new release" could be deemed as something released in the last 6 months.
Once an album is nominated, it may not be nominated again.
There will be a "Best Albums of XXX Nominations" Thread in which nominations, reviews and other discussion can go in. This thread will be made at the beginning of each month.
At the end of the month, I will compile the nominations and create another thread with a poll. This will stay open for a week or so.
Whoever wins the poll will get a forum badge or some shit.
Discussion and suggestions on the rules above are welcome.

My first thought was to leave it at one per person, but I'm open to multiple nominations if people prefer. I know I personally could nominate more than one most months, but at the same time would like to encourage most than the same 3 people nominating a whole bunch of stuff each month.
Alternatively we could have something like where you only get one nomination for most of the month, and then say in the final couple of days you can make a second (or more) nominations for stuff you feel has been missed.
It's a tough one, I don't want to overly complicate the process, but I would like people to have to think strongly about what they nominate, rather than any old album getting submitted.
