Even though there's some truth to Nola's "listened to once while doing homework" remark, I'm really glad I have you guys around to point me in new directions. It's kinda funny, but as much as people are kinda blasé about the amount of music discussion here, I still learn a lot from you guys. Even Ed, Erik and Chuck are helpful for outside the Neanderthal-metal head box stuff. I'll take MCs list over most metal rag lists any day. Same with Slap, Jag, Alex, etc. I have to say I truly enjoy the vigor you guys have for music =D>
To a certain extent, I think you have to give albums at least a weeks worth of attention to get a good handle on it. Back when I used to review albums, you'd be under a lot of pressure to get the reviews out in 3-4 days in order to stay ahead of competition. Id always end up writing things that I'd feel quite different about later on. So I feel like when you get to a certain point of 60 albums or so, there's gonna be something in there that you haven't really toiled on long enough to have a solid opinion of. That said, I can listen to some shit and decide 30 seconds in that I'm going to hate it. I guess that's why I'm slower to really put myself behind something than I am to tell you it's not worth your time. That's just me though
