Taking a short review break (album reviews out, book review in)

First Post January 06, 2021 07:15 AM

Hey all Metal Academy members! Just wanna let you know I'm taking a break from listening to full albums and writing album reviews for 8 days (January 8-15), so you're not gonna see any new reviews throughout that time. The reason I decided to take that break is because once again I had a bit of a turbulent situation with my parents when I was about to finish the review I made earlier today, so I decided to take a break from doing any album reviewing. There are actually two more album reviews I'm still gonna do (https://metal.academy/lists/single/78), so I'll write them tomorrow then start my break. This would also be a good time to finally finish writing my personal History of Heavy Metal commentary and working on my review for that book (mentioned here: https://metal.academy/forum/23/thread/616?page=1#topic_5157). Yep, I'm still planning on doing my book review! And the reason I chose the last day of my break to be January 15 is because the new Edenbridge compilation album The Chronicles of Eden Part 2 is gonna come out on that day, and in the following weekend, I plan on getting that album so I can revisit that symphonic power metal band I abandoned years ago when escaping my earlier epic metal taste. I'll also pick up a couple band discographies along the way. So yeah, I'm still around, but for now, no new album reviews from me. Stay tuned for my great big book review!

Hey all Metal Academy members! Just wanna let you know I'm taking a break from listening to full albums and writing album reviews for the rest of this month (until after February 28), so you're not gonna see any new reviews throughout that time. The reason I decided to take that break is because once again I had a bit of a turbulent situation with my parents when I was about to finish the review I made earlier today, so I decided to take a break from doing any album reviewing.

Yep, I'm still planning on doing my book review! I hope to finish that book review during the break, then after that break, continue being a lean mean album reviewing machine. But for now, while I'm still around as always, no new album reviews from me. Stay tuned for my great big book review!
