Album Reviews
When it comes to writing about music, we take on an ideological approach of quality vs. quantity. Unfortunately, we do not have the time to review every album out there. Nor do we believe that we have the right to negatively reflect on music that is not our cup of tea. These words are purely recommendations. If we love an album, you’ll be sure to hear about it. Thus, you will find no ratings or release dates. Good music just is… existing on its own… outside of time and numbers.
