reviews by date

When I first started writing these reviews for Teen Ink (a site that has basically been completely shut down for several months now), the place I chose to also store them was a USB drive that I had bought myself since my wise reasoning was that the computer I was using could potentially crash and wipe them out completely.

After finding that particular one again in a basement file cabinet around November 2019 (don't ask me how it wound up
there), I realized that I could use both that and the additional drive I got more recently to put all my reviews in chronological order since, with a few unfortunate exceptions (in their cases, I have just sourced the date from Teen Ink's website), every single one of them was there with the date I finished (or, in some cases where that isn't really clear, at least started) writing them. Enjoy.

NOTE: All of the older reviews (especially those dating from 2017 and early 2018) have been significantly edited for length and clarity, with the fully uncut versions (at least, most of them; I removed  The Matrix Trilogy from Teen Ink for personal reasons) being available here. Fairly minor corrections or changes to those and others have also been made on this site as well, more of which could potentially be made in the future. I apologize for any inconvenience any of this may cause.

Purple, by Stone Temple Pilots- 2-9-2018 [NOTE: I distinctly remember this being the very first album review I ever wrote (with this being pretty solid proof of that), but my hard drive says that the ones below were written even earlier when, in fact, they were actually written later. However, I ultimately decided to put it here anyway because finding the real date would be absolutely impossible, though if I had to guess, I'd say it was written around December 2018-January 2019. In any case, though, cases such as this are solid proof that you should really take the true accuracy of these older dates with a big pinch of salt]
