New Year's Resolutions

First Post January 06, 2025 10:27 AM

So, we are nearly one week into the new year and I was wondering if any of the MA members have made any resolutions this time around and if you have made any, have you still stuck to them?

I am far too bipolar to be able to stick to resolutions myself, but this year I am looking to expand my musical horizons beyond my usual fare. I particularly want to look to great releases from outside the anglosphere, so if anyone has any recs of the kind, then fire them my way.

For my Metal Academy New Year's resolutions, my ongoing exploration journey for new and not-yet-discovered music continues. This year, I'm gonna try to explore a lot more of the overlooked yet underrated industrial metal subgenre cyber metal that's been tempting me lately. I've already been doing that steadily for a few years, but here's to more!

This year I'm going to try not to sleep on new releases and aim to do 52 new releases this year. It's a drop in the bucket of course, but at least it's a drop compared to the very little I've had the past few years.

I really don't need to worry about the things most people do resolutions for since, well, I already do most of them. One could always do better on them, but something like getting fitter or learning a new language don't really have concrete endgoals. I guess get better at guitar, but that's something I've been slowly working on for a few months. I guess sticking to these things requires you not just do them because it's a new year...
