Music review

(1/3) > >>

CScheiner:
So I decided in my free time I would make a CD/Artist review blog because I am musically unbiased. I am looking for people to throw out albums for me so I can get this rolling, because most of the albums I have downloaded for review are new ones and I would like a bit of a mix (hip-hop, trance, country, indie, whatever).

Unfortunately due to my ability to be uncreative with names it is called Yelling About Music. You can visit the website here: http://yellingaboutmusic.iblog.com (note: I e-mailed Jeph in correspondence to the name and if there are legal issues behind it).

I am asking you, the QC community, to help contribute to this cause by increasing the hits to the point where I can decide if I want to buy online space after I hit a certain amount in the month. Also, I will gladly add contributions from everyone.


First thing's first though, what is everyone's input thus far of the site? Any and all help will be appreciated and positive feedback or constructive criticism is appreciated as well.

I agree, the calender has got to go. Just seeing it there is like "wait, what is that? why am I seeing this calender?". Unless you really like it I'd say I lose it. It creates a visual diversion, in a negative way.

Now, based on your page you seem very organized. (opening summary followed by analysis of each track, closing summary, and personal rating) Organization is good as long as you make it subtle. The content and layout of the blog seems unfinished to me. If you are going to do this I think you really need to apply everything you have into it. Remember, music is very important to a lot of people and if you want people to listen to your opinion it has to be important to you. Also, I have a slight objection to the format in which you've developed for your blog. Artist/ album review is just that, a review of the artist or album as a whole. When you leave your review sectioned up, in the manner you have, you take away from the final product. Dissect and analyze in your notes, organize your information, then create your "masterpiece" and post it.

Melodic:
Don't describe the music.

Dimmukane:
Be the music, and tell us how you feel.

Jackie Blue:
The opening paragraph to the Spiderland review made me think "I have already read this exact thing about a hundred times".

I recommend avoiding reviews of such albums.

The site looks fine, but your claim of being "musically unbiased" is, I think, kind of weird and not possibly true.
