About Music Appreciation

This part of the website is devoted to album/CD reviews. It is different from the Forum's "CD review" section in that the reviews here are more in-depth. They'll contain track-by-track analysis and explain the reasons why this album is great. These reviews will stay up permanently. The purpose of this section is to expose fellow Dinosaurs to less-familiar CDs that are often "overlooked gems." If you haven't heard the particular album, these reviews may entice you to check it out. If you already own the album, the review may get you thinking about it in a new light. Or perhaps, you own it already, but haven't heard it in ages. Maybe the review may just make you wanna dig it out again.

I invite and encourage Forumites to contribute Music Appreciation Reviews. Be as thorough as possible -- follow the track-by-track format, and be as biased as you like in telling us why this album is great. Please do not write reviews for well-known albums that have sold a bazillion copies like Back in Black, Led Zeppelin IV, etc. Keep it about the "overlooked gem" that we might not have in our personal collection.

Also: Help me pick the next album to receive Music Appreciation review. See poll below.

So with that, I give you: Music Appreciation.
