The cliche introduction

Delving directly into a review without properly introducing myself would be a tad bit silly, one would think. This blog is maintained by yours truly, Jacob Smith, a simple 18-year-old living in the southern region of Alabama. Not the preferred place for such a person as myself to be raised, but things really could be much worse, so I have nothing to be complaining about. I enjoy things such as listening to, writing, and playing music, as well as gaming, primarily on the PC I built myself (don't come to me for advice on that, though. Trust me, you'll regret it). I also enjoy fantasizing and creating new worlds / stories / realms in my head, but never quite put it down on paper, but maybe one day. Oh well, I digress; the primary purpose of this blog is to review and give commentary on whatever albums I may come across. I have been a musician for years, starting with the trumpet in sixth grade, and music has been a big part of my life since then. I've always enjoyed the various opinions on music that comes from the masses, be it the Average Joe or the professionals. Being one to always give things a chance and find interest in really dissecting a musical piece of art, I figured it was time I joined the vocal majority when it comes to music, and review some albums. I assume the first few I do will lack a certain flow or full authenticity, but I just want it to be understood that this is all simply my perception, so if a record is given a rating that doesn't seem to satisfy you, just know that your opinion is all that matters to you, and I simply offer at worst a second opinion. So, enjoy the blog, and prepare for the first few reviews to come out soon. In fact, the next one will be as late as tomorrow night, as I am a bit eager to get the first one out and have one under my belt. Until then, everyone!
