Love or Hate?

Can't blame you one bit TH. I think we can all agree that this thread has been truly wonderful for its entire existence so far and is perhaps the best thread on MusicBanter, and I'd love to see it keep going later on with the same excitement and enthusiasm once you've taken a little break. You definitely deserve it.

After listening to almost 150 albums I think I've earned a break, so I'm taking one. The thread will remain open and active as you want it to be, I'll continue to take recs and respond to posts. The only difference is that there will be NO more reviews for a little while, as I endeavour to lift this once again self-imposed pressure off myself.

To be honest, when I floated this idea I had no idea it would catch on and be so popular, and I'm grateful for your interest and input, but if I keep on like I am at the moment my own enthusiasm is going to continue to decrease and I'm going to end up hating this. The last few albums have been reviewed almost with a glazed expression by me --- you can probably tell from the reviews --- and I really can muster little or any enthusiasm for reviewing more. It's therefore unfair to those who bothered to suggest albums, to the rest of you and to myself to continue like this.

I can't say how long I'll take off; I may review albums without posting them, to relieve some of the pressure on me, or I may not. But keep reccing and I'll keep adding them. Just don't expect to see reviews any time soon.

Apologies to those who have been waiting for their albums to be dealt with, but I feel this is the point at which I have to take a break, or else things will just get worse.

Hope you all understand.
Thanks
TH

I'm actually amazed you went that long.
Writing reviews is hard as it is, but having to force oneself through albums one clearly hates from the start is the really hard thing imo. I could never do that with more than two-three albums.
