Hi, Welcome to Auditory Appreciation!

I'm not a music critic, this is not a critical music review blog. This is me ranting about music that I love: it is definitely biased, full of personal opinions and completely disregarding what anyone else thinks. In a way, it's like a journal for my music listening journey.

I post a review every 3 days and I alternate between album reviews and song reviews. Albums get rated out of 10 and favourites on the tracklist are bolded, songs get rated out of 5.
