#noratechat

Hello! This is not official in the slightest and I will probably forget half of these things but I wanted to lay out a simple structure for what I’m trying to do here! This is a completely for fun blog, I just like talking about music and decided to write and put it someplace.

So this is noraterecords, a blog dedicated to reviewing music both new and old and from every genre I can think of. This is pretty much a vanity thing as reviews will mostly be determined by what I listen to and like, but any suggestions I will try out unless it’s something I already know I don’t like, and I’ll try to keep the selection diverse as I can given my poor music taste.

I’m gonna go ahead and start two labels for reviews, “newrate” and “throwbackrate”, just to put some distinction between albums that have come out since I’ve been around and albums that are older than I am. This is just a personal choice for organization sake and if (for some unimaginable reason) people end up following this blog they can pick and choose what kind of reviews they see.

Lastly, the reason this is called noraterecords is because I’m not gonna use any sort of rating scale! I always kind of thought rating music was a bit weird especially since most music is about how it makes you feel or how much you like it, so I’m not gonna do it that way! Instead, I’ll just talk about some of the highlights of an album, what I liked and maybe what I didn’t like, and talk about the vibe it gives me personally, and that’s it. No ratings, just talking about the music!
