Default Guest reviewers wanted

Hopping onto Urban's idea and expanding that somewhat, I'd like to see if anyone is interested in reviewing albums within my journal? As you probably know, my tastes run to rock, metal, AOR, prog, some pop, some little country and some uncategorisable stuff. If you have an interest let me know, and I'll see if we can find something that suits you.

Anyone who wants in post here or PM me, and give me a basic idea of what you like. A list of my albums can be provided if required.

Thx

I was thinking of the same idea, as I've never really got around to doing my own reviews yet, have all the skills needed, just need to coordinate them better.

If you want to throw me something to review make it a metal, hard rock or AOR album.

I am behind on Urban's review, but I would put my name down, as long as I could take my time over it.

What album are you reviewing on Urban's thread?

Feel the Darkness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It doesn't help that when I line up the tracks, they all have the same title, even though the tags are right.

There'd be no hurry, guys gals and undecideds. I'd probably feature one guest reviewer a week, and even at that it probably wouldn't get going for a month or two, or more. Plenty of time.

US: I knew you'd be down with this. The only thing is, I think we have a lot of the same albums, so I'll have to pick out something that a) I haven't already reviewed and b) that you haven't heard before, which could be difficult. Leave it with me anyhoo.

Goofle1: Just let me know what kind of thing you're into (I don't do screamo or punk or hardcore emo or anything else ending in -emo, or anything at all really!) Seriously, it's mostly basic rock though I'm more into prog, but plenty of off-the-wall stuff (well, for me) too.

Thanks guys

TH

I will listen to anything you give me mate. No problem with any genre.

I'm actually reviewing Hawkwind's Hall of the Mountain Grill for Urban, and am having such a good time listening to it for the first time right now, that I would totally love to give you a hand. I listen to mostly metal, but have been listening to just about everything BUT metal for the past few weeks, so please just give me whatever. And yeah, it could be while before I get back to you with a review.

At the rate you're going, you'll be a music expert in no time.

I've worked in journalism for about a year and done some work for a music magazine with plenty of published reviews, so I'll give it a shot if you'll have me. I've needed an incentive to start reviewing again. Rock, metal, progressive-metal would be good for me.
