Well, I've been trying to give you guys [I'd prefer to think that I'm talking to a little orchestra of leprechauns holding violins and so forth lest I have an actual readership] a good album as my first review. My initial plan was to put out Nightmare, by Avenged Sevenfold.However, I've had my misgivings about the album, and narcissistic as it sounds, I don't want the first review to be a flaccid thumbs down. I am trying to find the silver linings in what, at the moment appears to be 11 dark clouds. And yes, if it came to mind, Black Clouds and Silver Linings, by Dream Theater was also another option and everything will be coming soon.
The main reason for this post is to establish some structure. Think of it as free verse commentary as opposed to judicial review. Contradiction there. Yes, there is going to be no format. It is quite obvious that I am biased towards my taste in music and I will adhere to that taste. I have been known to split hairs, and lets hope that over time, I won't grow to hate the music I love because I am too critical and slanderous.
One thing I would like to add though. Satirical gimmicks might make its way to the forefront in the near future. Might as well start with my rating system. I'd like to rate each album in terms of whiskers, with a maximum of ten [I wonder why I got that from?]. But I'd like to draw your attention to something I consider quite important: Timelessness. Extending the whole feline theme, I'm going to give every album a life, with a maximum of nine [shocking!]. Its a reflection of how I feel that album will stand the test of time. There have been one hit wonders over the years, they come, they go, nobody really could care less. But there have been albums like Led Zeppelin IV that are still quite dominant pieces of music after a period of forty years of recording. So that, for example, would get nine lives.
