This blog started as an album review blog and when I began I rushed through them full pelt for the first few months, with long, heavily researched and sometimes quite emotional reviews. After a few months this focus shifted. I was finding the reviews too lengthy to write and bit by bit they stopped appearing at all. I'd like to start writing them again more regularly, though I suspect they'll generally be a bit shorter and sweeter from now on. Here's the first thirty.
