Not that BSKY has to wholly resemble TW but the ability on TW to tweet-storm is a useful one. Hope BSKY can integrate a feature like that.

Feel like it's best NOT to go with canon-topping classics but rather, finding "good" albums that aren't on consensus "best of" lists.

It wouldn't *only* be about those formal qualities. They just form a very light template of sorts and given that, historically, I don't write much about the formal qualities of albums, it's a way of engaging with a different approach to criticism. The main question is: what albums to start with?

I've been contemplating writing long-ish form album reviews by anchoring each around a formalist core. In other words: in additional to historical context, I talk about the same basic formal qualities, i.e. LP length, song duration, sequencing, etc.
