So I finally got an RYM account, and I was thinking it might be fun to try to write a new album review every week. Any thoughts or tips on writing reviews that people would actual want to read?

My two cents is that I hate it when people review artists in genres that they don't like. Just stick to reviewing genres you actually like.

Good deal. As the picture suggests, I really love the blues, and I was actually considered reviewing blues albums exclusively. A lot of the albums I'm interested in don't even have a single review. There's a great opportunity to find my voice there, but it would also mean very low visibility (if that matters). Another option would be to cycle through different genres every week, doing at least one blues album a month. But, of course, I would stick with genres I already know and appreciate.

>>68978818
agreed. Same for rating
>>68978894
don't concern yourself with visibility or any of that bullshit. Just write for the outlet and expression. I write reviews all the time on my account and just give a detailed description of my opinion on it.

As a download?
I don't think so.
He did play some of it over a livestream and, from what he played, it sounds pretty good.
>>
It's gonna be shit, their only good album together was Enter and even that was pretty poppy
>>
Apparently he's contacting WTC to see if they're cool with him releasing it, or putting it up for download, since it would technically be illegal if he just gave everyone a Mega link

Did Death Grips "die" on the album jenny death?
It seems to me like death grips 2.0 was like a zombificated death grips rising from the grave, and Bottomless Pit was it's heartless, soulless husk causing chaos and wreaking havok.

This album would be literally perfect without "Life's a Bitch"
Why did Nas use so many L.E.S. beats? He fucked up countless great verses

Why do artists release double albums?
From a market standpoint I don't see a good enough reason.

There's your problem.

>>68977601
Is there even such thing as a double album anymore? An album can be as long as the artist wants it to be.

I'm trying to into metal. So far I've listened to Sunbather and that album was absolutely fantastic. I've also listened to The Mantle by Agalloch which was really good. But I don't know how metal they are. What are some good metal albums to get started on in the genre?
