Can an experienced reviewer look at my reviews?

 

I support this... it's not that you have to travel through the 1000 reviews of Close to the Edge but read some of the reviews, and see what people is saying, it help you a lot to see what people think about it and compare with your particular point of view... and of course, try to add something, most of the people different reviews, so, if you can complement what others say, is better to the newbie to "Get it"

 

Also agree with Avatachron, song by song description is not that good, I don't like to read it because I want to hear and put attention... general information or particular moments are cool tu give information of, but not about each and every song... I tend to skip those paragraph and jump to the conclusion... remember that you have to have in mind that people don't know the music, that's the key to right a more accurate review...

 

of course, I'm not a great reviewer so... nevermind...

 

Mentioning every song on an album is sometimes fine, but there are better ways to do it than others.  A review should (in my opinion) ideally be treated as if you were writing a mini-thesis on your thoughts and feelings about the album.  When you write about an album, you should have an overall impression of the album, as well as insights into some specific aspects of the album.  You should seek to describe the album in a way that provides details in support of your main thesis and your sub-points; in this, you should describe the individual tracks to the extent that describing them is necessary to flesh out the point you're trying to get across.  Often, this will mean mentioning every track; sometimes, mentioning only half is necessary, and sometimes you don't need to mention more than one or two.  If you're presenting an especially nuanced opinion, it's more likely that every track will require a brief mention.
