the beginning, at last

what better than a southern metal guitarist's quote to introduce this all? - anything, you say? well, true.

by the way, not-really-long story short: this blog is intended to be a place where i review some of my albums - those i like the most, those i can't stand, anyway those i just feel like writing something about. so, don't expect to find anything of the so-called "objective" kind here. i'd rather leave the claim for objectivity to those who write reviews for a living. and to the experts, of course.

you know, those bragging about their mastery of whatever subject all the time.

i do not understand the faintest thing about music; i am by no means entitled to write about it, atleast no more than your average passionate listener. so don't either expect to find anything accurate here, atleast not music-wise. the only thing i can be accurate about are my own tastes. and i'm not even sure i WANT to be accurate, then.

so now with THE question: why to write, and why to read this? as to the first, i may as well just say i simply like to do it, no matter whether someone reads me or not. and that would not be true. so as a honest answer, i'm doing it for those who are curious enough about music, to bother reading a "review" from time to time. getting music without the slighest criterion of choice could sure be fun, but sometimes you might just want to, say, follow some kind of path in doing it.

so that's what this blog is meant for. to provide some sort of guidelines to those who are in search for something new to listen to, and don't want to end up badly disappointed for having wasted money purchasing (or, time downloading - well, morals ain't the cennsor's primary concern) music they eventually don't like.

so, what else? it should be clear enough by now that this blog is only meant to contain my own opinions. what i'm going to write here, is nothing but what I think about music. i'm saying this only to prevent some kind of naive disappointment. made that clear, comments are there for a reason. i'd obviously appreciate some feedback. and i mean, that of the intelligent kind. i know it's harder, folks, but it happens to be more useful.

thank you, and enjoy the approaching rambling.
