Another feature that I always use on metal archive sites is the possibility to read lyrics. I think it would be great to get that option here too, or what do you think? I suppose it wouldn't be impossible to implement: for example, Spirit of Metal does it by simply placing a "Lyrics" link to the album page, and by clicking that this opens: http://www.spirit-of-metal.com/parole-groupe-Darkthrone-nom_album-Sardonic_Wrath-l-en.html" rel="nofollow - http://www.spirit-of-metal.com/parole-groupe-Darkthrone-nom_album-Sardonic_Wrath-l-en.html A little "Add lyrics" button to the left hand sidebar for collabs, and after adding the texts, there would be a "Read lyrics" link somewhere on the album page. I would dig that.  |

That's a good idea. I was actually thinking about it the other day.

I agree, good idea, but it would be quite the work adding all the lyrics.

I think this should be something we think about implementing a bit in the future. Considering the vast amount of albums that are missing lineup/release info, I think we should prioritize on that first. Lyrics would, as Bas mentioned, be a lot of work. Maybe we should do this when we have more collaborators (?) Anyway, it's a great idea.  ------------- Check out my YouTube channel! http://www.youtube.com/user/demiseoftime" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/user/demiseoftime |

A collaborator designated as "lyrics guy" (but a better title) could be a good idea. BTW I'm not volunteering.
