Music is a weird category for us, or rather pair of categories thanks to it being split in twain. We aren’t music crits, and we don’t cover the music industry or its releases. Instead, we discuss music via its presence in other things we cover- games and anime. Anime openings and closings, themes in games, that sort of thing. We’ll leave the record industry to the experts.
