A hypothetical series of awesome EPs.
September 11, 2011
For a while already, I’ve been musing about a series of EPs I could potentially release if I ever become a recording artist.

Dream Theater – A Dramatic Turn of Events (Album Review)
September 11, 2011

Top eight favorite cover songs: Metal Edition!
July 20, 2011
I’ve been in a “top eight” mood for a while now, in case you haven’t noticed yet. Too much Cracked? Maybe, but an even more telling reason is that I just don’t feel like reviewing anything at the moment. So for now, enjoy my favorite cover songs, all of which happen to be related to […]

Top eight favorite active instrumentalists.
July 16, 2011
After writing my last post, I figured that it would only be fair to include another list covering the other bandmembers. While I believe that I don’t know enough about playing instruments to appreciate everything that there is to appreciate about these people, the following instrumentalists can be considered my favorites: 8.
