Year of Critique

Hello everyone! Before I release my A Hat in Time review/critique I wanted to make a post about a topic I have a lot of opinions on, that of rating scales. What do I mean by "Rating Scales"?           When I say "rating scales" I mean any numeric scale which somebody uses to give a shorthand description on their opinion on something.

Hey everyone, as promised listed below are my picks for January 2019! As I stated in the previous post, the theme is "Critically Acclaimed" and as per the rules I have to give a bit of an explanation behind each of my picks. In addition I cannot pick anything I have already completed, so although it may surprise you I have not completed any of the choices listed below before. With that out of the way, let's get into it! Album: The Dark Side of the Moon Artist: Pink Floyd Currently listed as the best album of all time on Ranker, and coming in at number 14 on sputnik music's best albums of all time, this is undeniably one of the most critically acclaimed albums ever released. Why did I chose this album: Within the sphere of progressive rock there seems to be no album more popular than Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd. It seems to be an album to serve as a great stepping stone into the world of progressive rock, and an album that I absolutely need to li...
