I had every intention on getting my post count back on track this month, and then it all fell apart and October is shaping up to have my lowest post count in the past 15 years. It kind of bums me out, but I just haven't been able to get my attention focused on this thing. Granted, I was gone for over a week on holiday this month, and then I had trouble finding motivation to write about a four album Black Sabbath boxset, but I still hoped to have my post count higher than this for the month. Still, I've bought some cool new records, plus have been excited to add some old classics to my collection recently... so maybe November will be more productive for me.
Midnight released their sixth album, Hellish Expectations, back in March this year, but I've had a hard time working up the interest to check out new releases this year. So while I liked what I'd heard, I just couldn't stay motivated to stick with it, and since the record wasn't available at a local record store, I couldn't be bothered to track one down online. Basically, I was uninterested and lazy.
Here we are, seven months later, and my interest in new records has been sparked. I'm listening to new shit more these days, and after revisiting the new Midnight album a few more times, I knew that I needed to get a copy before the year was out. Hellish Expectations is pure Midnight speed metal. It is exactly what I want from the band. If my mind was right earlier this year, I would have jumped all over this because it is so good.

It's so easy to get out of the habit and lose motivation. But we all know that you will get back to it, and I'm look forward to see what you have been buying and listening to.
