Instead of keeping aggregate threads, I was thinking about having a "new release" thread documenting release dates and then putting people's names beside them if they recommend the disc. What do you guys think? I could start one up for November. It would look like this:

November 2
A Perfect Circle * eMOTIVe (Virgin) (board names here)
The Blow * Poor Aim: Love Songs (K)
Reissue: The Pogues * Red Roses For Me
Reissue: The Pogues * Rum, Sodomy & The Lash
Reissue: The Pogues * If I Fall From the Grace Of God

November 16
The Flaming Stars * Named And Shamed (Vinyl Japan UK/Alternative Tentacles)

November 23
Rachid Taha * Tekitoi: Who Are You? (Wrasse)
U2 * How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb (Island)

Every month I'd start a new thread. This way it's not unwieldy.

I like the idea of having boarders recommend albums within one centralized thread (and, of course, over the course of a billion other uncentralized threads).

How can something be recommended it if it isn't out yet? (or leaked)

well, by december people will have heard the stuff out in early to mid november....obviously at the beginning of the month the thread will be sparse, but by next month november's thread will be pretty substantial
