Why Review Albums?

Yesterday, a friend of mine noticed that I never talk about music at my blog. This is actually strange, as music is my drug of choice. For example, as a result of my addiction:

  • I've accumulated thousands of pages of classical scores (mostly piano).
  • Suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome as a result of teaching myself how to play Rachmaninoff's concertos (its been in remission for several years now; but at the cost of having to relearn how to play almost every piece I knew).
  • A music collection of about 600 CDs and 80 gigabytes of mp3s.
So , I've decided to start doing reviews of albums here. For now, I'll only reviewing the best of the best albums; but, if this goes anywhere, you'll start to notice more 1-3 star reviews. However, for now, my main task is simply proving that I have musical tastes that are worth sharing.
