Exploring Music, An Intro


Throughout the past three weeks, Rachel and  I, the blog editors, explored different albums and reviewed 10 albums and/or concerts total. Based off of our research the preliminary week, we worked to replicate some of the style and components professional reviews contained. Below you will find album/concert reviews and critiques for a mix of genres ranging from indie to pop to rap.

After our research the first week from Pitchfork, Rolling Stones, and the New York Times, we created a list of criteria we wanted to follow in our reviews:

(Roughly in this order)
  • ·         Background of an artist/previous album summaries
  • ·         Set the tone in the first few sentences
  • ·         Introduction to the album
  • ·         Comparison to other artists within that genre
  • ·         Description of the album and music itself
  • ·         Reviewing specific songs on the album
  • ·         Lyric analysis
  • ·         “Opinion” on the music and lyrics and sound
  • ·         Culture of the genre and how the music is listened to description/review/analysis
  • ·         Final remarks
