Guess what? I made a post that wasn't required

I felt like posting something out of both boredom and the fact that I'm starting to enjoy this. If people keep reading, I'll keep posting. I felt like talking about two albums that shaped my entire childhood

Korn: Follow the Leader
This album was available to me thanks to my sister, as Nu Metal was a big thing in my house. I found it randomly while messing around the media player on our computer, and I was instantly hooked. I really liked the sinister and somewhat-creepy tones and topics covered in the songs and present in the music, and it really influenced me as a musician. It's easily one of my most favorite albums.


System of a Down: Toxicity
This album introduced me to metal in general, and taught me that you can mix heavy material with complex and layered instrumentals. I also used to practice my singing to it, although I favored Korn's vocals for practicing. This album came to me from a group of CDs I came across from an old friend of mine when he was clearing out his collection. From then on, I was in love with metal

  1. Well I own both of these albums, gotta say I like Toxicity and SOAD more than Korn, but whatevs.
    I actually stole Toxicity from my little brother when he wasn't paying attention, I think I paid him for it later.

    Nice job sir, I am really glad you are enjoying the process. I like the variety of posts you have going (not that I don't like the single issue blogs), this just helps me see more aspects of your personality.

    I didn't check your profile so I might be speaking out of turn... do you have any info on the side? Anything you want over there?
    Other suggestions:
    A) use the pictures to link to music, or their webpage or something so that people can get to know more about what you are posting about.
    B) color?
    C) if you are going to tell personal stories, be prepared for some blowback, personally I have pissed off numerous friends, family and partners by posting things they didn't want posted (just a warning). Not to mention classmates and future employers...
    That being said, if you plan to continue posting personal, why not tell us more? Not necessarily about the incident, but about what those people mean to you, a story or something etc.
