REVIEW ARCHIVES
Any review marked as 'Special Edition Backlog Review' or * [SEBR} for short, is due to various reasons the CD got sent to me late, or I was unaware of it, etc. Thus, the reason the issue date is a couple or more years older than my review date. If something is important and too good to miss, I act on those special releases with this notation. It is also important to bring to your attention that a SHORT REVIEW section has been added called SUM OF PARTS and can be accessed in the main menu at both HOME and all other pages. I have marked these reviews as SOP (Sum Of Parts) here in Archives, but be mindful that the links will take you to a overall Alphabet page (example A, B, E, R, T etc) and a list of artist reviews under that letter (their name or band) is among those. It was to accomplish more reviews as so many titles came to Big Beautiful Noise and the objective is to do our best to cover as many as possible.
