Artension - New Discovery (2003)

Helloo.
I am about to take a break from this blog for quite a while.
On 19 May, I'm going to the UK for five weeks, to revisit my city of birth (London) as well as take a tour around Britain. I haven't been there since 1997, and thought it was about time I went back. :-) Well, it's a bit more than just that.
Anyway, this isn't happening for another nine weeks and, since I'm now finishing 2003 in power metal, I could do 2004 probably quite easily before then. The problem is I haven't given any listens to the majority of the albums yet.
Before I sit down to "properly" listen to one, I have to give it at least a few runs through, listening to it while at my computer, lying in bed, walking, etc, until I think it's had enough goes for me to give it a fair hearing - or until I just can't bear to hear it anymore.  And while there are a portion of 2004 albums I have already done that with, there are heaps I have not. Yes, it's me being greedy, trying to find and buy as many albums of the genre as I possibly can. Really, I suppose I have gone overboard, but ah well.
So I will be spending the coming weeks listening to a loooottt of stuff from 2004, and I don't think I'll have time to listen to them again and put them on here before I go away.
All the same, I will come here every now and again, maybe put up a list of favourites or something. I'm not sure.
I don't know if anyone has been following this blog. I have noticed that when I post something, it shows statistics that suggest, if I understand them correctly, that people have read them, and maybe someone is out there who has been keeping tabs on it regularly. I know my writing isn't always that good, and I know sometimes I don't say a lot about a certain album. That's because, sometimes, I just don't have much to say. :-|
But if anyone has been reading my stuff, I want to thank you for taking the time. :-) I started this fairly late 2011, and it's still going. That shows that I continue to love power metal, and continue to enjoy writing about it.
So I'll keep updates on what I'm doing over the next few months, before getting going "properly" one more.
There was something I was going to say... what was it?
Oh yes.  This is another Artension album.
Ho hum.
