ATRL's original game "Choose The Album, Then a Song" is back for its anticipated ninth season on its original concept.

 

Now that the cast is officially complete, it's time to kick things off with the very first round. Before that, it's important to review the main rules of the game just like being introduced to new ones. With this being said...

 

 

1. There's not such thing as bad losers;

We are all here to have fun and share our favorite music with everyone.

2. Every contestant must cast a vote each round;

The main purpose of the game is to introduce everyone to new music. If this rule isn't applied, only the judges will benefit from it.

3. Every entry must contain a written part;

To fully understand your decision, you will be required to send in an essay along with the song chosen.

4. A song can only be used twice and can only be use three rounds after;

This will allow you to explore your album further.

5. Deadlines must be respected by contestants and judges;

Every Tuesday, the eliminated contestant will be announced along with a new round. Every Thursday, the entries will be posted. Every Sunday, the results will be posted.

6. There's no space for stan wars or called voters;

The main purpose of this game is to introduce everyone to knew music. Therefore, we don't want any fights or any type of voting manipulation.

7. The vote process is build up of two parts;

Every round the judges votes will be mixed with the public votes.

8. Be fair and do not be biased.

If you want others to respect your work and game, make sure you respect others too by not allowing your personal taste affect your votes.

PLUS: TBA.

 

 

The first round is clearly inspired by one of the songs of the moment: Ed Sheeran's "Shape Of You". As usual, the first round is supposed to work as an introduction to what you have to deliver. Even though, Sheeran is in love with the shape of many girls, I assume you are in love with the shape of your album. With this being said, during this first round, you are supposed to send in the song that best shapes your chosen album. Justify yoir choice in no more than 200 words and make sure you correlate your song to the entire album so you can let us know why that song is so fundamental to it.

 

Submit your entry to me (Pedro) and don't forget a streaming link.

 

DEADLINE

 

February, 3rd (flexible due to first round)

Thanks for reminding me of that! A song can be used twice but if you use a song now, you can only use it again three rounds after!

I wish I didn't know it either. I am a major hater of Ed but that song kind of controls me. @M A R N ✮, keep in mind though the "shape" theme is not related to Ed song at all. You're supposed to send a song that kind of describes and therefore shapes the album you have in hands.

So basically the lyrics of our songs has to mean something too? I think i got an idea of two songs to explain the black.

That's right. You have to pick a song from your album that best describes the album as a whole and shapes it as a whole. Lyrics, rhythms, production (...) can all have an impact.

Okay cool..just hope the heavy music doesnt scare or lose me points.

 

Ill start on it in the morning

[shelven]

That extra day to submit works out so well for me because I have exams until Thursday, so Thursday night will be the best time for me to work on mine

 

I currently have a song in mind for this, but I'll probably skim through the album at one point to see if I can find something better
