Hmm. Didn't realize that review was from this time last year! Interesting. I found it in the album review index, and frankly I was surprised to find any of Amy's music there at all.

As much as I want to dislike the often shallow mediocrity of commercialized music, it would be somewhat dishonest not to include them in my journal. Like I said in my intro post:
