Seriously though, I know I go on for way too long about my music, but I enjoy writing about it and often wonder why, when an album hits you so hard, you don't go into a little more detail than "I like it". Still, it's your journal so you do as you want. It is hard, however, to defend your music when there's no written evidence of why you think it's so great.

A third front has been opened. Ki's flank is exposed and he must retreat or risk destruction.

And no written evidence? I've talked about Travis Scott more than any other artist in any journal as far as I can tell. My album of the year lists etc should give off the impression of my feeling toward his music alone. I'm not going to write an entire essay as to why I like the music. That to me is 1) a waste of time and 2) completely and utterly ridiculous. You do that because it fits your setting, but everyone isn't meant to mimic your standard for a journal. |

Let me ask you this, Ki: if you made a thread, would you be a) annoyed or b) happy if someone responded to it? A journal is just, as it says in the rules, a thread you own. It's not somewhere to hide, feverishly scribble down stuff you hope nobody will see, and then get upset when they do. You can do that, but it's a bit counterproductive in my opinion. I believe journals are meant to be a) somewhere you can write about stuff you love (or hate) and b) somewhere you can get criticism on, input to or comments on your writing. My door's always open; yours, it would appear, you would rather lock. Again, that's up to you but you are, I believe, the exception. Everyone else here (ask them) would be happy to get discussion going on one of their favourite subjects, and to know people are reading their journal. It's what, I believe, we strive for. Who wants to write and have nobody read their journal? Other than you, I mean. As for writing a whole ****load of stuff, well that's just me. I like to express what I like (or don't like) about whatever I'm writing about, be it an album, film or TV show or comic, or anything else. My main journal's number of views shows at least that people are reading, and no, I did not mess with the clock. How dare you suggest such a thing? Even if someone doesn't write a lot, like say Mordor, people like to discuss the posts, as you'll see in his journal, and he has no problem expanding on any album or artiste. So nobody is saying you have to write tons on every album, game or whatever you review, but if someone is interested (positively or negatively) then you need to be prepared to enter into discussion. I've had rows with people here about various albums or things I've written about. It doesn't really bother me; in the end, any comment, good or bad, inane or deep, is proof someone is reading what I'm writing, and I'm happy with that. If you'd really rather there was no discussion in your journal (though I can't think why) maybe you should put this in the OP, otherwise people are naturally going to expect that their participation is not only allowed but invited.

I think it was either in this journal or my arcade one, but I remember talking about a symphony that covered Pokemon music. Well, there's some symphonies for Zelda music as well.
The more famous one that I'm sure most people have heard is probably... The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Hyrule Symphony This one is quite good. It has a total of 13 tracks, and takes on tracks in symphony form like Gerudo Valley, Hyrule Field, and Hyrule Castle among others. Basically, if you're a fan of the more memorable Zelda songs from Ocarina of Time, this is the one you want. The Marcus Hedges Trend Orchestra - Ocarina of Time Symphony On the other hand, 2016 continued to be a great year for music. And to my surprise, another symphony took on the throne of making some truly fantastic pieces based around Ocarina of Time. The Marcus Hedges Trend Orchestra version of the Ocarina of Time soundtrack is certainly worth listening to. |

I don't post in this journal as much as I used to because I simply don't really like talking about albums. But, something I do want to do in this journal is something that should have been inevitable. It won't be happening for another month while I prepare, but at least this'll give you something to look forward to.
Now, this particular theme month isn't going to work the same as the others. I'm not going to shower you with absurdly long album reviews for the sake of it, though I will talk about albums. Instead, I'm going to try to make this as random and scattered as Kanye's writing styles. It's pretty known by now that I love The Life of Pablo as a whole, and that album as scattered as ****. I plan to make the journal version of The Life of Pablo. Again, this isn't happening until May, but best get excited now. It's going to be a lot of fun. |

There's something to be said about not listening to a band that I didn't know existed. If you weren't aware, Ghost have really made a name for themselves in the modern times of music. When the "hits" are the ones that make radio time, bands like Ghost are not widely noticed. However, they make some great **** that needs to be noticed. Plug has been a sanctuary of great music lately. Something about getting the right group of people together that all have great taste. It's really been somewhat of a beautiful experience these past few weeks. Getting to know members like Chio, Matrix, and others. What comes along with this is the fact that I'll hear music that I haven't really heard. If you guys don't know, Matrix loves Ghost (GHOST), and he's been playing it in plug. And I gotta say, props to him. I've caught the Ghost (GHOST) bug. I've so far listened to Meliora and Infestissumam regularly and I really don't have many complaints. It's common knowledge that I'm a fan of Anathema, Katatonia, and the like. Well, Ghost (GHOST) does the same thing they do, somewhat the same and somewhat better. I'm constantly hearing the deep guitar chords with the wonderful vocals mixed in, and man it works. I can certainly see why Matrix loves these guys. |
