About
Some 18 year old trying something out.
Listens to literally anything and everything.
Don't mind that my reviews/ratings are a bit bare on the popular side of things. I've heard and lived with a lot of music but it'll take time for me to re-add ratings with reviews for everything I've listened to. This is just a side hobby.
Scores are based on +2 points on the scale of 0-100 to have consistency. (So no odd-numbered ratings).
