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
