Artist: Agathodaimon
Album: Blacken the Angel
Obtained From: Ebay Job Lot of Someone's Entire Collection
Times Previously Listened: 2
Old Rating: 4/5



Verdict: It's pretty average, but not without some merit. A 15 minute track that does nothing to warrant its length drags the album down.

New Rating: 3/5

Keeper? Depends on how the others by the artist come off during this review.

Artist: Abigail Williams
Album: Becoming
Obtained From: Online, Cheap, Probably Ebay
Times Previously Listened: 6 (didn't realise it was so many)
Old Rating: 4.5/5



Verdict: This is the kind of album that makes me realise just how much I need to revamp my ratings system, much like I've just done for movies. I mean it's nice enough atmospheric black metal, but it's also quite forgettable. I didn't even realise I'd previously listened to this six times (could have sworn it was no more than three at most) and also after only playing it for a 7th the other day I already find I can't recall much about it.

New Rating: 3/5

Keeper? Maybe. Something obviously drew me to it more times than I realised. In Danger Zone though.

Artist: 3 Inches of Blood
Album: Advance and Vanquish
Obtained From: Second Hand Shop
Times Previously Listened: 3
Old Rating: 4/5



Verdict: Quite fun extreme power metal, but the high register clean vocals combined with the high shrieks gets a bit grating after a while. Can't say I'd want to own more than one by them. 

New Rating: 3.5/5

Keeper? Yes, just.

So this is my version of Patrick's Why the F**k have I got this? thread so thanks Patrick for inspiring me to do this. 

In this thread I will be going through my CD collection, revisiting albums I believe I've played very little or not for a long time, with a focus on albums bought in job lots, second hand shops and cheap blind purchases on ebay and Dodax. I'll going to try to check at least one album off from those I want to hear again every day. 

This is the collection I'll be working through, though I did belatedly notice there's one album missing. But that doesn't matter because that's probably one I'll sell anyway. There may be some I post here that I will sell.
