Welcome!

Hello all, and welcome to Relative Pitch - my new outlet for all things music.  Those of you that know me know how obsessed I am with music in general, and my music collection in particular, so this new voicing ground for my opinions should come as no surprise to you.  For those that don't yet know me: welcome to my world.  I know there's not much to see here quite yet, but in the coming weeks, expect this space to be filled with album reviews - and maybe a little more.

The fun will begin soon, I promise, but first, let's lay down a few ground rules, shall we?  Here's how things will work around here.  I'll be rating albums on a scale of 1 to 5.  Here's the breakdown:

5 = Instant Classic

4 = Impressive

3 = Pretty Good

2 = Disappointing

1 = Total Crap

Simple enough.  But just what albums will be reviewed?  Mainly new or recent releases, to start off with, although I may dredge up some classic albums from my collection from time to time.  The only style or genre guidelines you'll find are: if I listen to it, you'll see it here.  I know, it's pretty vague, and maybe a little biased, but expect a fairly wide variety of music to be covered here.  Once I get into the swing of things here, I expect to be posting a new review roughly once every week or two.  Don't hold me to a rigid schedule, though - this isn't my day job, after all.  And one final caveat - nothing I post here is anything more than my own personal opinion.  So put stock in what I write at your own risk.  Not that I plan on offending anyone.

But enough of that.  Let's get on with it!  Have fun, and by all means, let me know what you think - feel free to post a comment or send me an email.  Feedback is appreciated.  Thanks for stopping by, and enjoy!

Musically,

Brandon Sparks
