dreamgazing: Planning my debut review

dreamgazing 04.01.17	mic chex-mix
Snide 04.01.17	Honestly, review something that you know the ins and outs of as a release but don't have too much of an emotional attachment to. It's a lot easier to be objective and clear with your writing if you're starting out that way.
dreamgazing 04.01.17	I'm much more curious in trying to familiarize myself with a recently bought record and to see how writing the reviews erodes and seasons my opinion.
Snide 04.01.17	That could work as well, I'm just telling you what helped me when I first started writing reviews many years ago.
dreamgazing 04.01.17	Y'all'se please help
TheSpaceMan 04.01.17	its best to review an album that doesnt already have one, builds the data base and creates a new thread
SteveOffProbation 04.01.17	lmao who cares just fucking review something if you need a list to prepare it maybe you shouldn't be reviewing at all
TheSpaceMan 04.01.17	dont let that stop you from reviewing something you really want to write about though
AngryLittleAlchemist 04.01.17	Don't review 2 I'd love to see like a 3 review for 11 but you probz love that CD so. Idk review something original.
GhettoHmbrglr 04.01.17	2,3, and 7 are probably the ones i would have looked at if i saw them on the frontpage.
dreamgazing 04.01.17	11 is def not a 3 ALA ATLiens is my first OutKast album and I haven't given it a proper listen but it could be an interesting one
Divaman 04.01.17	1. It only has one previous review. Some of these have 4 or 5 other write-ups. Or 3, 6 or 7. They also only have one previous review a piece.
theBoneyKing 04.01.17	Agreed with SpaceMan, try to review something that doesn't already have a review if you can. It's also more likely to get more views and be more useful to the site over time.
AngryLittleAlchemist 04.01.17	"11 is def not a 3 ALA" it def is tbh
dreamgazing 04.01.17	It's above VU & Nico for me tbqh.
dreamgazing 04.01.17	But yeah, I'll probably do 1 or look for something I dig with no reviews
LethalPaintball 04.01.17	do a negative review for 10
rabidfish 04.01.17	do a review you wanna do, don't force shit.
FullOfSounds 04.01.17	write something that flows out of you, makes you feel comfortable while writing it
EphemeralEternity 04.01.17	there's a lot of pressure on you dude. take your time. sleep on it, for months at a time. I've been here 3 years and i'm still working on mine.
theBoneyKing 04.01.17	If you do decide to do one of these I'd say do it for the one of which your opinion is least like the general opinion or the opinion of the review/s that the site already has of it.
GhostOfSarcasticBtrd 04.01.17	Or write a review for something that already has a review (or multiple) if the current flag is shit. But first, try aging a few years before dipping your toes in the water.
dreamgazing 04.01.17	I generally like everything on this list and the site generally likes everything in this list. Most bold defense would be a superb/classic review of On Avery Island.
GhostOfSarcasticBtrd 04.01.17	Also don't listen to BallsDeep cause he can't even write a paragraph let alone a review.
EphemeralEternity 04.01.17	dream as a good rule of thumb i wouldn't take reviewing advice from anyone with a 80%> approval rating
GhostOfSarcasticBtrd 04.01.17	I should write another Danny Brown review. Maybe give XXX a 1.5 too.
GhostOfSarcasticBtrd 04.01.17	BallsDeep should review Avril so I don't have to.
dreamgazing 04.01.17	I get why people are saying I should just settle on an album I'd feel natural at writing about, but I want to challenge myself and set a standard to reach, I don't really want to settle for some stream-of-consciousness, fan-looking review.
theBoneyKing 04.01.17	"dream as a good rule of thumb i wouldn't take reviewing advice from anyone with a 80%> approval rating" Well Ghost doesn't have that so dream is perfectly fine taking his advice!
dreamgazing 04.01.17	A non-joke Danny Brown negative review would get a pos from me, the Atrocity Exhibition review gag was just eh
GhostOfSarcasticBtrd 04.01.17	Haha did you see my original comment on that? I went easy on him today by editing it. Felt sorry for the bogan.
GhostOfSarcasticBtrd 04.01.17	I was serious.
EphemeralEternity 04.01.17	are you legally blind boney
dreamgazing 04.01.17	I was thinking of the og review nevermind
GhostOfSarcasticBtrd 04.01.17	It depends how you read it, but I would read it as "Eighty percent or greater approval rating." You write oddly tho, so maybe you meant "an approval rating less than eighty percent," but that's not how I read it.
GhostOfSarcasticBtrd 04.01.17	OG review was still serious.
theBoneyKing 04.01.17	"are you legally blind boney" ?
dreamgazing 04.01.17	You genuinely believe what you wrote yeah but it was written to get a laugh out of it, that's the point
GhostOfSarcasticBtrd 04.01.17	BallsDeep in thought: "The crocodile eats the bigger number, so the approval rating would be safe but the crocodile would eat the 80%..."
GhostOfSarcasticBtrd 04.01.17	Whatevs. On a technical level that review (the second one) was better than 95% of the reviews on this site, including most staff/contrib reviews.
EphemeralEternity 04.01.17	means anyone under 80% but anyway who gives a shit ghost go 5 absence of truth and bump its average back to 4 after our dear friend sach 1'd it
GhostOfSarcasticBtrd 04.01.17	I don't just hand out 5's like that.
dreamgazing 04.01.17	It's too facetious for me to rlly like it but it was a good write-up regardless.
EphemeralEternity 04.01.17	you'll do what i tell you to do
GhostOfSarcasticBtrd 04.01.17	5 Avril and I'll do it.
EphemeralEternity 04.01.17	I was gonna do that anyway never got round to it
GhostOfSarcasticBtrd 04.01.17	It takes six seconds. I counted.
EphemeralEternity 04.01.17	i'm a very busy man in case you haven't noticed
GhostOfSarcasticBtrd 04.01.17	A deal is a deal.
dreamgazing 04.01.17	Just 5'd The Best Damn Thing, wasn't too hard
GhostOfSarcasticBtrd 04.01.17	Good.
dreamgazing 04.01.17	The Best Damn Thing 2: This Time It's Personal
GhostOfSarcasticBtrd 04.01.17	Avril is better than Periphery.
dreamgazing 04.01.17	never laid ears upon Periphery but I'm inclined to believe you
EphemeralEternity 04.01.17	pleasure doing business. Unfortunately said business did fuck all to the avg tho
GhostOfSarcasticBtrd 04.01.17	Their debut was actually great because of a combination of factors that disappeared for every subsequent release and now they're garbage.
GhostOfSarcasticBtrd 04.01.17	Songs like Letter Experiment or The Walk are the best things the whole djent movement ever made.
dreamgazing 04.01.17	I only have like one djent record in my discog, latest Animals as Leaders album. Neat stuff and pretty dynamic, but it gets tiring quickly
EphemeralEternity 04.01.17	excluding meshuggah
