 Title: When the World Was Quiet Artist: Afterglow Year: 2018 Nationality: Unknown Chronology: Unknown Genre: Unknown; listening to it I would hazard maybe post-rock? Something instrumental anyway Familiarity: Zero Loved: Finite Liked: Meh: Nothing Left, Breath Taker, Ascent Disliked: Hated Review: I looked everywhere for information on this artist: Wiki, Discogs, Metal Archives, Progarchives, Bandcamp, RYM, Google, but the only place I could even find the album was on Amazon, which perhaps tells its own story. It certainly was not worth all that effort for this collection of generic maybe post-rock tunes. Rating: Meh

 Title: High Noon Artist: Shakra Year: 2016 Nationality: Swiss Chronology: 12th of 14 Genre: Hard Rock Familiarity: Zero Loved: Absolutely everything here. Liked: Meh: Disliked: Hated Review: Sure, these guys aren’t reinventing the wheel, and they sound about as Swiss as Jon Bon Jovi or Noddy Holder (and somewhat similar to both) but man can they rock! Nothing bad on this album, and I’d be well interested in exploring their discography more. Rating: Excellent

Great idea for a journal TH. This is maybe what I should adopt if I ever decided to write in one again

Well I'm known for the walls of text, so I thought this might be something different. Also, I'm not that into writing long long reviews any more, not for albums I don't even know.

Walls of text is good too, I honestly wish I could write like that. I think that’s why I struggled for time with the album club because it took me so long to pull something together
so I definitely should try something like this

Hey look, you know you're not required to write anything special for the Album Club don't you? You can write a full review if you want, or a few lines. No pressure. It's not so much about what you write or how much, but how the album impressed you, or did not.
In the unlikely event you ever want help writing a review, just wake your kindly old Uncle Troll up from his midday nap and I'll be happy to oblig... obl... oooozzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz........

 Title: Purgatory Artist: Borealis Year: 2015 Nationality: Canadian Chronology: 3rd of 5 Genre: Heavy Metal Familiarity: Zero Loved: Rest My Child, Revelation Liked: Pretty much everything else Meh: Disliked: Hated Review: Had to listen to this twice before I could make a decision on it; it sounded poor first time and then seemed to get better near the end, so I spun it again. I’m still not decided, but there’s definitely something there. Rating: Good, could possibly be Great on subsequent listenings.

 Title: Destiny Artist: Stratovarius Year: 1998 Nationality: Finnish Chronology: 7th of 15 Genre: Power Metal Familiarity: Some; I don’t think I’ve heard a full album but I’ve heard a good few tracks Loved: Years Go By, Venus in the Morning Liked: Anthem of the World Meh: Everything else Disliked: Hated Review: Given what I have heard from this band, this came as something of a disappointment, fairly generic power metal really. It’s telling that the only tracks I cared about were the two ballads (how predictable) though the closer was good too, and at least that was not a ballad. Rating: All right

 Title: Rhyme and Reason Artist: Chris Ousey Year: 2011 Nationality: English Chronology: First of 2 Genre: AOR Familiarity: Zero Loved: The Mother of Invention, Any Other Day, Bleeding Heart, Don’t Wanna Dance, By Any Other Name, A Natural Law Liked: Everything else Meh: Disliked: Hated Review: It took me four spins to finally get into this. It’s a half-decent to decent AOR album; nothing fantastic but it certainly grows on you, and I really like it now. Rating: Great.
