The End
Due to having too much to do these days, and having very little free time to update this blog, it's time for it to end - thanks to anyone who followed it over these few years, I've enjoyed writing every single update on albums I could ever find, but all good things must come to an end. Cheers...

Blog Update: Technical Difficulties
Due to technical difficulties on my end, I was unable to update the blog for the past couple of weeks (bar one day in an internet café); but it's all fixed now, normal service should be resumed - a spate of catch up posts are coming!

Blog Update: Album Releases Sidebar
The sidebar sections entitled "Countdowns to Albums" and "Releases" have been combined into one section entitled "Album Releases", combining both countdowns and releases.

Blog Update: Labels
The 'Album', 'Single', 'Tracklist', 'Lyrics', 'Artwork' and 'EP' tags have all been removed from the blog as there was no real reason to have them.
Other than that, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Blog Update: Reviews
Whilst this blog is mainly to do with getting information about upcoming albums and other stuff, I like to write the occasional review, just to jot down some thoughts about the album.
I used to write track-by-track reviews, but due to lack of time to write down all that, I will only be giving a rating, shown on the Reviews tab, and maybe a short overview occasionally.
The idea behind how I rate the albums is listed below; although it won't always work!
0.5 - Utterly, utterly awful album. Will never listen to it again, will get rid of any copies I have, will wonder what possessed me to give it a go. (Never given an album this before, but there's a first time for everything)
1.0 - Awful album. Likely I bought it on the basis of one song, and that song wasn't brilliant to begin with. Will never listen to it again.
1.5 - A very bad album. Maybe has one or two very small redeeming qualities, but unlikely to be heard again.
2.0 - Not a good album. Showed potential at some point, and may have a few good songs, but won't get much beyond 2 or 3 listens.
2.5 - Average. Enjoyed parts of it, but replay value is limited, or maybe just half the songs are good, half of them are bad.
3.0 - Reasonable. Has sparks of greatness, but for the most part, fails to really stick.
3.5 - Good. Enjoyable listening, but has nothing jaw-dropping or particularly stunning. One or two tracks lacking.
4.0 - Very good. I give this rating and above only when I like every song, but at this level, there's nothing that will have me repeating the album for years to come, but I enjoy it for the most part, and will probably play it a lot until it gets boring.
4.5 - Excellent. Could play it for many years to come and it wouldn't get boring. Songs are great to listen to, and probably has some fantastic moments.
5.0 - Outstanding. Every song is great, and if I had to pick just one to listen to, all of them would be contenders; there are none that I'd think about skipping for even a second. I give this rating more than most reviewers, and mostly for albums that reviewers wouldn't dare give full marks, but there are just some albums I can't fault in terms of what I like listening to.
