First Post (wow how original)

Ok, so i was thinking a couple of minutes ago, "hey, people now have torrents, and itunes, and as always, stores, which means that CDs and Albums released by bands are now more accessible than they have ever been." Ok, maybe not exactly those words, but you get the gist. Anyway, back to the point, i want to start a site which not only has several CDs on it, as in for review, but also gives links to the band's site, and other information that most other CD review sites wouldn't give you. Now, after a while the database will get huge, so i will try to stay as organized as possible.

Now let's lay some ground rules for how this will work:

1) I will give a rating (1-10)

2) Then i will give an explanation as to why that particular CD got that rating

3) As is a fact that was pointed out by my bro, tracks 2-5 are usually a bands "hit tracks," so special attention will be put onto these tracks and may also be rated as apart from the CD if seen as necessary.

a) and if i so choose i may rate pre-released singles, and give you an idea of the anticipation i have for the album based on the single.

4) READ MY EXPLANATION! Don't assume that because you liked an album with an 8/10 score, only "8/10"s or better will grab your attention and entertain you. Since this is a mostly arbitrary rating system i.e. the 1-10 scale, and words don't do much better, e.g. what is the degree of difference between average, good, and great, or average, above average, good, and great. So, by reading my description it (review) will be of better help than my ratings will be. Also, i may hate a certain genre of music, and although i won't try to make it effect my rating it more than likely will. In essence, read my explanation.

There you go. Keep in mind this will be mostly indie stuff, or non-mainstream, and on rare occasions "pop music."

The first review will be up tomorrow, and for anticipation's sake it is the debut album for the band Thenewno2 entitled You are Here. Since this is taking longer than i originally thought, i will post my review around 5 PMish tomorrow. It all depends how quickly i get through this.

Finally before the end of every post i will ask for suggestions, and i will try to review everyone's suggestion, but it will take a while, so be patient.
