REVIEWS

\r\nI am dealing with album writing reviews since 2003. During these years I learned many from this and it was always pleasure for me to express my opinion for an album, in such a way that I help also the reader to create an opinion or even to take an idea of what we the album is about. Receiving both positive and negative comments, I continued and I will continue writing reviews, despite the fact that mainly the last two years the situation is not the same as it was when I first started doing this. I refer to downloading that nowadays has taken tremendous results in such a way, that it causes disgust and naturally it makes the listener lose the meaning for the music. \r\n

\r\n

\r\nOnce upon a time, the fans of the extreme sound - and not only them- made collection of vinyl records. Later they made collection of CD. Now they make collection of hard disks and the only thing that interests them is to fill them with as much GB (gigabytes) of music as possible, music which of course would never hear with the proper attention, or give it the interest they should, because it is impossible because of lack of time or of the inability of the human brain to accept the bulk of information in such a small time interval. And for sure, we do not report the consequences that this situation will have for the groups. To be honest, I admit that I also have lot of GB in my computer, but I never stopped buying the CDs I like, or reading reviews for an album. \r\n

\r\n

\r\nThe reason I am writing this, is that it is almost unnecessary for many people to get into the process of writing a review, while the reader has the ability to "search" in the internet and find an album even 2 months before its release. Taking this into account, which is the reason spending our time on writing a review, which consequently doesn’t really help? \r\n

\r\n

\r\nI would like all you that visit our page, to say us your opinion for the specific topic, to realise if there is a good reason for writing reviews or it is just a waste of time.Personally, I would never stop writing reviews, because all this years I have used to it and the first thing that I do when I receive a new album, is trying to describe and "to judge". Moreover, the love that I have for this music does not allow me to quit, because simply things went beyond our expectations and because what we did in previous years, very simple is regarded nowadays as useless. I am waiting for your opinions. \r\n
