Who's the most prolific reviewer these days

I've managed to collect about 1000 cds and 400 vinyls, I planned to review them all at one time, but now I don't really care - it liberates me to listen to whatever I want, whenever I want. I still buy albums at an alarming pace, although now it's not just for the thought of expressing my opinion on them.

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

Well I don't know if that's the majority - I saw a post on the first page that was along those lines

I don't know who is, but i can tell you who is one of the less prolific.

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. The wife is going crazy.

Actually, I'm having a bit of a writers block right now so I have some time for the forum
The reason I write so much is because I'm a very focussed kind of guy and I want it over and done with!
From May onwards I'll probably won't be writing anything anymore till next fall.

I am one of those lucky guys who works from home, meaning I stop working around 17u, and then write 3-4 reviews and do the cooking, all before my wife gets home around 19u!  Besides I only work 4/5 now.

Considering the album ownership matter. I've been buying albums for 25 years now (around 30 up to 80 titles a year), there's also plenty of good libraries here in Belgium (ask Sean Trane) and I have plenty of the 70's stuff from my brother. I don't shy away to listening to new music using the possibilities of the internet but I want to own everything I like eventually. 
'Owning' albums without paying the artist is highly unethical in my view.

Hehe, I suppose I wrote all of them in one day, that's me. Have to finish what I started, right ? We can compare then.

We can compare then.   Well, you posted the most reviews (6) in a single day! I only managed 2 reviews for the whole week.   I started the list from 11.30 EST on Monday, and finished at midnight on Sunday. A total of 196 reviews by 77 different members - 34 collabs and 43 ordinary members.

Back when I was a prolific reviewer of sorts, I remember posting 5 in a day once. Now, if I post five in two or three months, it's already something to be celebrated...

Yay! 12 reviews!
