– 200TH REVIEW SPECIAL –
What better way is there to celebrate my 200th review on this site than by talking about one of my most beloved albums: Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone? But first, just some basic thoughts I’ve had during my time on this site. It’s all one paragraph — the review will be just under it.
My intent with this site was always simple: to document my own listening experience with music. I love statistics, so all the reviews I put out ... read more

As I acclimatise myself more and more to prog rock of the 70s, I find myself becoming increasingly impressed by groups like King Crimson and Yes. Close to the Edge, to me, is a literal stance on the album’s contents: the music is on the cusp of what’s new and exciting.

However, contrary to popular consensus, I believe this album improves ... read more
