It's just you. This week was great. Fucking Fields of the Nephilim are back? I'd never even suspected it.

Well, this week there were not so many reviews of records I'm that interested in. So for me it's not the standard of reviews, but the interest generated by the selected records that varies week to week.

I guess the current reviewers I look out for are Misha and Dee, and Dogan if he gets the job. No offence at all to the other guys- I just like the way Dee and Dogan are "specialised" into very esoteric areas that I want to read about. And I like Misha's unpredictability. :P

I don't agree. I think there is a great group of reviewers here (when they review) and you get a good balance of music. I reviewed a CD that I've had for a while this week simply because I had nothing new to review. I have a few CDs that are new, but I've not given them enough listens to do a review. So instead of not doing one, I uploaded that review.

I don't want to specialize in any one genre. I want to simply review interesting albums and I think I've done that, though some of the genres have turned people off, unfortunately.

Gothic Metal
Death Metal Groove
Death Metal Groove
Heavy / Thrash / Power Metal
Progressive Death Metal Fusion
Power Metal
Power Thrash
Death-Influenced Progressive Rock/Metal
Atmospheric Dark Rock/Metal
Alternative Nu-Metal
Heavy Power-Prog
Heavy Pop-Metal/Rock
Power Thrash
Melodic Nu-Deathrock
Melodic Progressive Rock
Hardcore
Melodic Rock/Metal
Melodic Nu-Metal
Progressive Rock/Metal
Thrash/Melodic Death
Doom Metal
Stoner-Doom Rock/Metal
Doom Death

I think that's a nice mix, but you guys hate me so it doesn't matter. :cry:

I think this week is just a case of bad timing - two industrial albums in the same week and lots of hard rock. I'm sure next week will involve a little more extreme metal.

I don't care if the reviews are geared to my taste or not, it's not my site.

Im not making any comment about the standard of reviews, it just seems that i go to the reviews every week and its all hard rock or power metal or gothic or industrial. I realise the stupidity of whinging just because what i like isnt getting reviewed, but where has all the extreme metal gone? It seems some genres are being neglected.

Also, just an inquiry, how much do you guys get sent? Are you mostly picking what you want to review? And wheres Misha been? His reviews were excellent, and always surprising.

Yeh. Madder Mortem could end up being very cool though.
