REFLECTING ON REVIEWING YOUR FAVOURITE CLASSIC...
Here’s the links to 52 of your favourite album reviews for the next five minutes.
So that was fun, wasn’t it? When I started soliciting recommendations I’d only been writing album reviews for a few months. Initially I didn’t set out to write 52 album reviews and I didn’t want to set the expectation that that’s what I was doing, because then I was free to do...
