Album Reviews for the Thinking Music Fan

Welcome to the album reviews. All of these compositions were created by me and use without my permission is prohibited. If you want to use one, then let me know, I'm sure I'd be happy to allow it. There are two menus, one which lists the reviews by artist, one which lists them by the album's title. The menu will tell you the album's title, the name of the band/artist as well as the date(s) and record label(s) on which the album was released. Click on the album title to read the review. If the artist who made the record has a profile on this website, then their name will be linked to it. New reviews should surface on a regular basis so check back often. Let me know what you'd like to see reviewed. Enjoy!
