Love or Hate?

Trollheart · 01-25-2017, 10:02 AM

When I woke up this morning the first thought that went through my head was “Aw **** no! It's Wednesday and I still have to review Qwertyy's album!” This was not something I was looking forward to, not just for his album, but for any album, and it's become very clear to me over the last few weeks that my interest in and passion for this has fallen away. After returning, my initial idea was to shut this down, then I changed my mind and reopened it, and since then I've had no fun with it at all. Not only that, it seems to me that less people are interested in the thread too; time was, when there would be comments galore, now I'm lucky if someone even comments on the album of theirs which I review.

So here's where I call time on the whole enterprise. I've other stuff to do, but that's not really it. I've been busy before but happy to continue this on. But when it becomes a chore, a bore and a struggle to get through this, it's time to stop. So I am. Sorry if you're disappointed your album(s) won't get reviewed, but frankly and to be brutal about it, I won't lose sleep over it. I've given this a good go for over a year now, and I'm not prepared to slog on when I'm not enjoying it. All other recs will be removed and the thread's OP will be adjusted to reflect the fact that there are no more being taken.

Thanks to all those who did rec, and I hope I didn't slag off your albums too much on occasion, but I need to draw a line under this. It was always going to end some time, and that time is now. So thanks for your participation but

No, sorry. Never got to them, like a lot of others.

Read above. I've closed this down. Permanently.

Doh, I haven't checked in a while.. I guess that's why it was on the second page. Are you working on anything else? I'm kind of a lounge lizard at this point, so I tend to fall behind in the music sections.

Trollheart · 02-03-2017, 03:05 PM

I'm working on tons of stuff, but it's pretty much all going to be in journal format. History of classical music, Movies journal (Shark Tales going on at the moment), Heavy Metal and Prog journals, The Great Discography Project, History of Prog, History of Ireland, and a lot of other stuff.

You should totally do a History of Metalcore thing so I can throw recs at you.
