08.30.13 | write it like an essay until you develop a style
Have a main point, and then sub points, end your first paragraph with the thesis (main point)
Have a paragraph for every sub point |

08.30.13 | don't do track by track
be concise (500-1000 words max)
don't get too bogged down with individual song descriptions, rather try to talk about the album as a whole and use specific examples here and there to reinforce your points
don't talk about yourself (minimise usage of 'i think this' etc etc)
try not to review something that already has a bunch of reviews
proofread
umm
that's all i got
good luck! |

08.30.13 | make the intro about the history of the band. go into heavy detail about every part of every song on the album. number each track and write a mini-review for each one, and give each song an x/5 rating. then write your concluding thoughts in 1-2 sentences, and make a pros/cons section |
