Let’s see, I’m a dude in America, born in 1984, and before I can recall having any interest in music, my older brother already owned cassette tapes of Nirvana’s Nevermind, both Guns ‘n’ Roses Use Your Illusion albums, and Metallica’s Black Album. Since then, my brother’s grown into quite the dork whose favorite band is Nightwish, but GOD BLESS HIS DORK ASS for starting me off on the right foot and sparking a lifelong love of rocking tunes.
I started writing reviews in 2021 to quell some boredom, to make use of my internal dialogues, and to motivate myself to listen to music the way we did back in the day: one full album at a time. I’m covering only bands I like, and I’m in no way attempting to score music by its “objective value” or “cultural significance” or any of that crap.
This project is somewhat inspired by the extremely impressive work of reviewer Mark Prindle. I enjoy his funny writing style much more than I share his musical tastes, but I hope to offer a similarly unpretentious alternative to the big-time music criticism blowhards of the world.
