Well to be honest, I've been trying to separate my association with him; it should be obvious for anyone who's read any one of our reviews that he's an influence on me (easily the best reviewer we have here).
I switched to letter grades because handing out 9.9's because I'm stingy about 10's is...really mean to those albums. also, it's too much work to figure out if something is truly an 8.4 or an 8.5 and when I list them, a lot of the times, I realize I like the 8.4 a lot more than the 8.5.
stuff like that. letter grades are cleaner. less work.
Wow, thanks for saying so. I didn't expect anyone would really notice. I'm back on but not quite getting involved in the community again. I barely have time to listen to my old favourites anymore, nevermind discover new music adventures...
That said, I've grown up considerably since I first joined the site and find myself re-evaluating much of what I've already tasted.
