People who say that someone with 500 reviews can't be buying them legit is crazy. When you get out of highschool and have a decent job you tend to spend a lot of money on things you like

Yeah the first year I started working I purchased maybe 15 - 20 albums a week ( most second hand LPs but also CDs). No obligations whatsoever and I lived with my parents so I had more money and time to spend them than I will probably ever have again. My purchase rate has gone down a bit in the last 5 years after I had my children but most people would probably still consider my habits to be somewhat compulsive.  . I´ve lost count of how many albums I have, but it´s gotten to a point where I´ve had to pack a lot of CDs away in my basement. There simply aren´t room for more in our small apartment.

When I grow up I want to be like you... I'm living with my parents and I just buy 2 albums per month... but surely I want to make my wife crazy for the amount of Cds in the house... surely...!!!

If i reviewed all my albums I wouldn't have time for eating, sleeping, crapping or breathing. I just review albums that I happen to listen to and have a bit of time to kill. I think it would be difficult to do this sort of thing professionally. Listening to a record for the sole intention of critcizing it. Doesn't make any sense to me. It's funny before this site I had never really payed attention to reviews. I only knew that Rolling Stone hated most of the music I listened to so I never bothered secure in the knowledge that bands like Focus, Gentle Giant and King Crimson were where it was at.

In Australia, cds are insanely expensive compared to europe and the U.S.
Worse still, it's practically impossible to find good prog here anyway. So for most albums I buy, I end up paying for international shipping!
|
Yeah, I'm in Australia too, and most of my prog stuff is very hard to find. I usually have to hunt around in various JB Hi Fi stores across the Melbourne suburbs to find what I'm looking for. And when you do, its always special import stuff. I end up paying a ton for it. It's expensive being a prog completist!

Which can't be said about a lot of people here, one of your statements. But this is not kind of discussion I want to go into. Sad thing is that majority of my collection I haven't bought. I was given instead, I inherited it :-) more or less, without giving person being dead. ON TOPIC - I plan to do some nice graphs, hope I'll have mood for it.

OK, enough of flattering, or my mind will be shattering (hope this makes rhyme in English, it looks like it should, or could ... or would ... ok, I put)

OK Seventh S., no bad feelings, but lack of reply after adding actual valuable information, about which this thread should be, or more like lack of absolutely no reply at all left me hesitating about it all. Also I've switched from Win XP to Linux and back meanwhile, finished my first term on university, started new one (semester) and returned to reviewing.
So, let's do it. |
You've lost me with this quote.  I think this was maybe someone else talking about how they had neglected their own reviews. I appreciate your hard work and look forward to next set of results.
