The Challenge Of Reviews

As some of you may have noticed, Musically Sound is very much a no-expenses-spared endeavour. In that we have no spare expenses. So anything reviewed here is bound to be bought by one of the contributors for their own personal listening/reading/playing/viewing pleasure. Because of that, I'm going to find staying neutral on this blog a bit of a challenge. How can you review something that you've handed over good hard english pounds for (and considerably more than our US counterparts, but that's another story altogether) and have previously formed expectations about with any sense of neutrality? And what's more, how can anyone score things out of a hundred anyway? Cheers Harry...

Well, I'll be attempting to rise to the challenge soon with some forthcoming reviews, kicking off with Dreamfall, a game I just finished playing, and a review of Motion Sickness, the recent Bright Eyes live disc (cue rolling eyes from co contributors)

Musically Sound is back!

Hello and welcome to the revamped, brand new, brand-free Musically Sound. No doubt our legions of loyal followers will be delighted to hear that the number one site for all music, game, book and film reviews, as well as general commentary, is back in town and ready for action. Here is the team of contributors, listed in alphabetical order so as to dispel any notion of hierarchy:

Adrian Bunting

Michael Burgass

**Harry Holt**

Greg Wakeling

Stuart Young

We now rate all things out of 100, as the decimal point and star system created untold havoc on the old site. Rating books out of 5.0 would be almost as ridiculous as evaluating music according to five single, exact measurements, so in order to streamline our evaluation of the arts, the market research team decided a score out of 100 would be more suitable for all the forms of brain food under examination. It might help Musically Sound get on Metacritic, too.

For those who found us through Freewebs, we also operate through http://www.musicallysound.tk for easier access.

Make sure to check back regularly for the scoop on all things arty, goodbye for now...
