No films came out this year that I would want to review. On the other hand, three outstanding albums came out this year; any of which I would choose as album of the year. At the same time, I’m still trying to establish my own unique review style, methodology, and aesthetics, and I have a couple of backlogged ideas that I’d like to put into practice as far as music reviews go. This year has definitely presented me with challenges as well as opportunities.
