How To Write A Good Music Review

The record shows I took the blows And did it my way! I used to do a lot of album reviews compared to reviews of everything else, to me they seemed the easiest to write, often pre-writing themselves to around 1600-2000 words just due to the simple fact theirs often a lot to write about. In more recent reviews about music (which I've not done a great deal of) I tried a different formula and yet still found myself wanting to go back to the original way I was doing it as it felt more complete than cutting corners. Everyone has their own desires in a review, what they expect to be there for a review to be useful, very useful, or even not useful, some people don't ...  Read the complete review

The Script- The man that can't be moved The Script are an Irish band which play pop songs with meaningful words with catchy words and tune. The Song is based on a man waiting on a corner for his (partner) when a police officer telling him to move but then he said he is still waiting, for his (partner) people think he is broke (poor) but he is only broken hearted.

JLS Jls has has teenage girls across the UK screaming and crying over this new boy band! Girls have been crushed into barriers and crippled by swarms of fans just to catch a glimpse of the stunning quartet.

Their new song, Beat Again, is the catchy tune of the moment. Combined with cheesy dance moves, JLS have made the song to listen to this summer. If you think that JLS will be just a 'One Hit Wonder' think again, they have plans for an album. Since we haven't ...  Read the complete review

Music reviews are an interesting category, because music is so subjective. I know this is an opinion site, and therefore it's looking for people's opinion, but when it comes to music I think 'other people's opinions' count for very little. With that in mind, there are some dos and don'ts that I think everyone will appreciate: DO: 1) Give us a little background about the artist - the discerning music fan will want to know where they are from and their age and sex. It isn't everything, but it is something. 2) Explain the genre or style of the music - this isn't always accurate, because again some people's ideas of a certain artist are different ...  Read the complete review
