Respinables Turns Album Reassessment Into a Weekly Contest
A music project picks one album each week, listens three times in a row, scores it out of 1,000, and lets readers choose what gets revisited next.
Field notes
The project turns album criticism into a repeating public sequence: memories and a pregame, three consecutive listens, a podcast, a 1,000-point score, and an overreaction. Its next selection is determined by a seven-album ballot, with the first record to reach 50 votes advancing. Visitors can also nominate a record, and ten nominations place it on the ballot. The page identifies Five for Fighting's 2004 album The Battle for Everything as the current selection.
