This RYM database consists of Zach's collection, as well as those owned by his wife Kaitlyn. I (Zach) have written the reviews and given the ratings. Kaitlyn's collection is primarily the vinyl and will be tagged accordingly.

I'm a big fan of having a physical collection, with albums and CDs. Digital albums are great, but I enjoy collecting physical works of bands I adore. I love music and I'm open to discovering new sounds whenever possible.

Just as a note: many of the albums I have listed as "Used to Own" are things that family members have had, items I've borrowed from friends or the library, or truly something I used to have but got rid of for one reason or another. Also, for the time being, I tend not to review singles unless it's a song that can't be found on a studio album or compilation release.
