We started publishing album reviews in late 2011, eventually incorporating a modest number of book and live performance reviews as well. Adding them all up, we hit 1750 this week (1752 to be exact). You can find a list here.
I never thought we could progress to such an extent, but it goes to show what persistence over time can do. I wish we could write more, but given our current structure and pace, we might be able to review one out of every twenty or so submissions. And that low conversion rate is due to a huge amount of fantastic music being produced.
So once again, let me express appreciation for all of the musicians and artists that send us material as well as the writers who thoughtfully put their impressions of these works into words. It has been and continues to be a privilege to work with all of you.
