Although there is a Venn diagram of our musical tastes and many of your posts are in your bubble and not mine (I'm thinking, say, Necrophagist and British Steel, respectively), this type of post is totally awesome because of the care that you, as a passionate listener, have taken to describe in both objective and subjective terms what a disc sounds like and why you like it. I always learn from these posts.
Thank you for taking the time!
Thanks, Nick. I really appreciate the positive feedback from you and everyone else who has offered it.
Separately, thank you for the kind words. I'm planning on more widdly next time. 
Heh heh, cool. I especially look forward to the Ladder Theory tune.
