You may (or may not) have notived that I haven’t posted anything new in quite a while. My excuse is that I have been working two jobs and trying to have a social life somewhere in between. A great many things have fallen by the wayside. However, I am going to try to pst SOME stuff over the summer, and so it is that I proudly announce the advent of a new feature of Porocrom:

Crom-prehensive Review(e)

In these review(e)s, I am going to examine in great depth a music album of my choice. I have a fair number of CDs that are worth reviewing, at least in my opinion, which is the only one that counts to you mindless peons. This is intended to be something of a companion piece to my serial “Bands I Like”, reserved somewhat for bands that may not have a lot of stuff out there but who have a great album, or a band that has an outstanding album.

Features:

  • Track-by-track breakdown: I will review each song on the album with a brief blurb
  • Song ranking: each song will be ranked both relative to the others on the album and on an ‘absolute’ scale (star system)
  • Album review: a look at the album as a whole, its strengths and weaknesses
  • To buy or not to buy?: is it worth the sticker price?

    • As always, if there is an album that you’d like me to review, send me e-mail and I will see if I can give a listen. Please note that if the band is super-obscure I may not be able to get my hands on all of the tracks. Also, if the band CLEARLY sucks, I’m not even going to bother.

    Anyway, expect some stuff to drop soon. Also, expect some regular Crommunist-type posting within the next couple of months.
