While nothing individually stands out, this album flows really well and I was grooving throughout the whole thing. Very good album

I have No Fences lying around somewhere, if needed I can upload it. As for my nomination, I'm gonna follow Great_Paul's lead and put up a popular artist we haven't covered yet

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication

StarShpongled Banner
Dorset Perception
Once Upon The Sea Of Blissful Awareness
Shpongleyes

Room 2
My Head Feels Like A Frisbee
A New Way To Say Hooray!

This was my introduction to psychedelic music, and I was immediately blown away by how good this album, and Shpongle in general, is. I had more to say, but NFUN pretty much sums it up! If you enjoyed this, definitely check out Nothing Lasts...But Nothing Is Lost; it was the other album I was considering for nomination, but Tales just has a little more sentimental value to me.

NIN > Deftones > A Perfect Circle. I generally try to de-prioritize artists that have been covered, but I feel The Downward Spiral is too important an album to ignore.

Geyser
Pink In The Night
Blue Light
Two Slow Dancers
Washing Machine Heart
Nobody
A Pearl
A Horse Named Cold Air
Come Into The Water
Old Friend
Remember My Name
Me And My Husband
Why Didn't You Stop Me?
Lonesome Love

Great opener, very good songs at the end, and then the middle is just kind of meh.

As for changing the format of RtT, I'm on board with the idea, and I would also suggest that when this officially switches over that we have a break week to hash out some themes to cover in advance. For my part, I had the idea to compile everything we've covered so far and sort out their "traits" (so far I have decade released, genre, band or singular artist, male/female fronted, mainstream vs obscure). From there I'll try to identify some areas that could use some highlighting, and then suggest a theme based on that.

I think this will also help resolve situations where there's an artist we as a collective would like to see covered but we didn't agree with the specific album nominated. Off the top of my head, I remember a few people would have preferred Funeral over The Suburbs (in regards to Arcade Fire), and in regards to Portishead I felt Dummy would probably have been more appropriate (although I do really like Third).

Toy Story
Snatcher
Ristar
WWF WrestleMania: The Arcade Game

Hmm, Spotify is pretty much my go-to unless I have the album to rip myself and put on my phone (which is the case here). I checked youtube, and oddly enough even though it has to load a new page for each song the transitions are better (but still not seamless). I'll look around for a better source, or maybe I can try to upload it on YT as a singular entity.

Don't know if it'll be a difference maker since nothing is actually missing from the Spotify upload, I just personally hate when an "official" source has gaps between songs when there shouldn't be.

Over Your Shoulder
Flowers
Going Nowhere
Angelic
God Is Coming
The Last Laugh
Psalms
Holocaust
Saviour

im sorry no one liked the album (spotify must not care for it either, considering the transition between tracks is broken and "Pslams" is misspelled)

Din Don Dan Dan
Intro Theme
Sailing
Yoru
HODO
Hold Your Life
Poem
Red Wolf
Everland
5 Years War
Prontera Field
Sara
Swamper
Church
Play Chess In The Air
The Force Midgarts
Kings Joy
Clap & Walk
Beginners
Pub

Some bangers early on, but the rest of the album is just okay

Is this the first time I had the least deviation?

The Protomen > Bring Me The Horizon > The Weeknd

Act II is one of my favorite albums ever, easy choice here

I looked, but I only found covers

Hey Jealousy
Pieces Of The Night
Found Out About You
Hold Me Down
29
Mrs. Rita
Lost Horizons
Allison Road
Hands Are Tied
Until I Fall Away
Cajun Song
Cheatin'

Good ole contemporary rock. Not a memorable album outside of Hey Jealousy, but it's an easy listen.

As usual when I'm late, you don't have to include this in your rankings if you already started compiling, but I just wanted to put my list out there

Final Fantasy XVI
Hi-Fi Rush
