RECORD REVIEWS INDEX
January 12th 2007 11:19
This here is the place where y’all will find the record reviews. It will be updated regularly and organised in alphabetical order, to make it easier for you and all your kin to find what you’re lookin’ for. I hope to accumulate a big-ass number of reviews for you to browse through while you stay at the Earache Hotel: reviews to teach you ‘n’ direct you towards the fiery, healin’ power of rock ‘n’ roll.
Each album is a holy document: a sacred text passed down from on high like gospel. Some will fill you with the joy of thousand summer afternoons, some will be like a shepherd to guide when you are lost, some will succor you durin’ troubled times, and some just plain suck. But while the quality of these releases may vary, each is pure ‘n’ special in its own way, and in your time of need may be there to aid you. While I have passed judgement on these albums, they will never pass judgement upon you or me (unless it’s a Dead Kennedys’ album or something; that Jello Biafra must love to keep clean cuz he's always on his soapbox).
I urge y’all to add your own comments, and even your own reviews of the albums included, so that together, we can better understand this mysterious force that surges through us: this music that at once corrupts and redeems us: that destroys us and makes us whole again.
Can I get a hallelujah?

I'm only going to probably like one song out of all of these recommendations, okay? but don't be dismayed... I'm getting on in years and caught in that time warp-thing that happens to older people, *lol* but I had to come and de-cloak this vote (and Show My Bones), because of the great comment you left on Luke's "Creature Feature" - I really appreciate a good laugh! *whoop*
'Thank you very much...'

I realise I'm working to a pretty limited audience here. But who knows? Maybe some day I'll review some music that you (or anyone for that matter) actually likes
I know what you mean by the timewarp thing. I feel it already. I'm trying to listen to music that came out in this millenium, but even then it's usually by bands that I liked from last millenium.
I feel old. I'm even ageing as I type this. Ahhhh!
