I am an album person and not a song or singles person.
I am a music lover and NOT a music "collector".
RYM
All catalogued issues match version owned (except a few v/a) and all releases have, at the very least, cover art uploads
Why I'm here
To catalogue my collection (which used to be diminishing in numbers as fast as I bought new material, as I cull the unwanted via Amazon's marketplace - that's when people still bought CDs!)
I have over 620 Classical CDs and have added all those that have a RYM presence. That leaves approximately 300 other albums which either have no entry or issues which are not yet on RYM
I'm not here to...
My ratings / reviews
I only rate albums (why anyone rates or reviews singles is utterly lost on me) and only albums that I have heard in their entirety. I don't listen to music from genres and styles that I don't like and, therefore, that music won't get rated or reviewed - there's little to be gained by that futile exercise. Please note that these are my opinions and mine alone. Finally, there are NO sacred cows.
Contrary to popular belief, some remastered albums are done well!
Lists: My lists are, on the whole, intended to be light-hearted and fluid - they are not necessarily written in stone. In most cases I will either include my review for an album or give an explanation as to it's presence in the list (there is nothing more frustrating or futile than a list of albums with no explanation as to what makes any particular record desirable or special).

Friends: I add and remove "Friends" in a somewhat random nature, so please do not take either removal or addition personally. I use the Friends list almost exclusively to view Friends' Activity but also to see when someone is online for PM purposes. If, for example, I see lots of reviews that are of no interest to me I might remove that contact for a while, As I like to tidy up regularly, if I have not been in contact with anyone recently, they will more than likely be removed but may be added again at a later date. If someone has added me and I have yet to reciprocate, that is likely to be due to the a dissimilarity of collection/reviews and not because I am anti-social (I do have a tendency to the latter but that's another matter)
If anyone has a problem with anything I have written, either in this profile or a review, keep it to yourself because I will not be discussing it - I do not tolerate Fanboys in any shape or form
Note to self: DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN ANY PROFILE ISSUES

There's a lot of the album on YouTube (if not all). I haven't listened to it for a while. What I will say is that all of Thule's albums are very similar. If you've heard one, you'll have a pretty good idea what the others are like
We have no choice, it is part of the access of being a mod or admin. It's not actually possible for us to send our corrections to the queue, they are automatically approved when the submit button is pressed. Quite a lot of Mods and Admins are looking forward to the new system where there will be no auto approvals at all.
