An introduction to # 4 of The Sound Of Fighting Cats blog

 

 Welcome to # 4 of The Sounds Of Fighting Cats blog.

Without further ado and celebrations will this chapter continue from where # 3 left it at at the end of April 2025.

Why new chapters of this blog ? 

The reasons is that the Alphabetical Reviews List was becoming too long. Many lines longer than the post list which is restricted to only 50 posts. Hence a pretty messy blog where the Alphabetical Reviews List continues well past the posts in a blog with many thousands reviews. 

Under no circumstances did I want to drop old reviews. So the only solution is to split the blog into different chapters. That means chapter # 1, # 2, # 3, # 4, # 5, # 6 etc etc.

Why this blog ? I started it back in 10. February 2012 because I wanted to do my own blog, a blog I could work on when I had any spare time.

I have been reviewing albums for over 30 years now for various blogs, magazines and newspapers. I still have some hundreds/thousands of unreviewed albums in my collection and this blog is my outlet for these reviews.


This review blog is just a personal hobby with no pretenses of getting zillions of hits. I do take the music seriously and I am thoroughly listening to the music. But I am not into writing thousands of words about each album. I like to keep my reviews sweet and short. That also means I can write more reviews too.

I have written three books myself (trying to complete my fourth book..) and it is now impossible to get anyone to review them or get any other form for attention. Hence, this motivates me to start/run this blog as there are so many overlooked bands and albums around.

This is not a piracy blog with links to download albums. I may link to legally free albums, but that will be the full extent of what I can offer of freebies. 

I am gratefully for all support. I never ask any bands and artists for support/promo albums.

Please note that this blog does not have a "best album of the year" rankings or any other rankings as compiling them takes too much time. Time I prefer to spend on new reviews.

Regularity of reviews/updates ? When I got time and whenever I feel for it. As simple as that.

That's the intro out of the way....... I love this hobby and blog and I hope that shines through in my reviews. I want to share my love and enthusiasm for music with you.


I hope you enjoy this now 13 years old blog.

Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news,
