How can I become a special reviewer?

I would really like to participate as a special reviewer, specially on the classics of prog rock and reviewing with detail the new releases! If there's anything needed please let me know.

There a few things you should consider if you want to become a reviewer. I'll list them here - but remember, there is no direct rule, so just do your best!

1. Review a number (usually 30+) albums from a variety of genres. So don't just review Yes or Pink Floyd albums, try and review some lesser known ones, or ones from other genres.
2. Make sure your reviews are written in English, and are comprehensible. It also helps to be polite, and not to slander without reason.
3. Try and give them some substance - don't just write 50 words about how you like only one track etc.

Apart from those, there aren't to many other things to do. Just enjoy reviewing, and soon enough you'll be able to present a case for further honours. And by the way, it's by invitation only.

I was a 4-star special super Reviewer once - I can never go back. See, my problem is that I put dirty words in my reviews and that's a big no-no. I also utilize racism, ageism, and rage ironically - something not to be attributed to an esteemed member of this most illustrious of online writing teams.

I'd much rather dance about architecture.
