| All of my reviews (so far) ranked best to worst
I've only spent a relatively short time on the site, but I already feel like I've made some progress on my reviews, so I figured I'd see which ones I still like and which ones I don't. | | 1 |  | Adjy
June Songs Vol. 1
I feel like if this rev was good enough to get featured and make Sowing's best user reviews of June list, it's good enough to make the top of my list. I love this review to death, if for no other reason than that it's concise enough to state its point and be pretty about it, without sounding overly flowery. | | 2 |  | Tallah
The Generation of Danger
Written to provide a counter to a very negative 3.5 review, I'm pretty happy that this managed to stand on its own. I get a bit pretentious over a nu-metal album, but I think Tallah deserve it, so it's justified in my eyes. | | 3 |  | Kenshi Yonezu
diorama
Recency bias aside, this is one of the first reviews where I made a conscious effort to weave the album's sound in with the historical context surrounding the artist, and for that, I'm so proud of what I did here. I say historical like this is a decades old album, when it came out in 2012, but you know what I mean | | 4 |  | Foo Fighters
But Here We Are
But Here We Are is the other album where I wove in the background events surrounding the project. I think ghostalgeist described this review pretty well. "Solid, airtight review" is pretty much what I was going for, nothing more to say than that | | 5 |  | Rush
Clockwork Angels
My favorite Rush album of all time, and the superior of the two Rush reviews I've done. I definitely let my bias show here, but it's a solid review overall, especially considering it was only the third one I'd written for Sput | | 6 |  | Coheed and Cambria
Vaxis II: A Window of the Waking Mind
In which I try to sell the idea that a poppy Coheed is a good Coheed. I do wish I had compared this one with Color Before the Sun a bit more, but that would've required me listening to CBTS again, since I don't remember much of this album. I should also point out that this is the murky middle of the list where I like the reviews, but don't love them like I do my top 5. | | 7 |  | Deco*27
Mannequin
I don't like writing negative reviews. I actually prefer to be a positive guy (just look at my objectivity score). But man(nequin), this album disappointed me. I feel like I may have been a bit too harsh on an album that got the ranking of "average", but aside from that, this one's pretty good. My only other gripe is that I wish I had more to say about the album, but the album also didn't give me much to say, so... | | 8 |  | Celldweller
Satellites
Another negative-ish review, that may have been tainted by my love for Celldweller taking a slight hit in the wake of the fallout with Blue Stahli, and the Reddit post I linked in the comments. As Willie pointed out, it's hearsay, but considering the FIXT market fuckery and the delays of Obsidian, I feel a bit more willing to accept the stuff linked in the post as truth. Even aside from that, I may have underestimated this album's staying power. After writing the review, I found that I had Soul Parasites stuck in my head. It's definitely a catchy album, but my flawed perception of the artist caused me to accentuate the negatives here. I won't listen to the album again, but I can see why someone would 3.5 or even 4 this one. | | 9 |  | The Anix
Hologram
One of my shorter reviews, and one that I only see as okay. There's no grand statements to be made here, it was just a really, really fun album | | 10 |  | Utsu-P
UNIQUE
Ah, VocaMetal. What a fun little niche genre. Shame that my review isn't my best, and I don't know why. Maybe it's that I thought this was the best album Utsu-P had produced so far? Yeah, that's a ridiculous statement, and one that I no longer agree with when Moksha and Algorithm exist. Furthermore, a lot of the tracks on this album have sorta faded from my mind. The album doesn't have as much staying power as I thought. This review was kinda me going fanboy mode, and... yeah, not my best work. | | 11 |  | Rush
Hold Your Fire
I was definitely still finding my footing here. 2 years removed from my first review, I write about an album that means a lot to me, and do so with clunky prose, and very obvious bias (I still think a bad Rush song is better than a bad song from another band, but that's the kind of thing that doesn't really belong in a review). I don't hate it, but I'm not the proudest of it | | 12 |  | HimeHina
Divine Flowers
Now this review? I despise this one. I despised it even after submitting it, so much so that it took me 2 years to do another review, because I had to get better at it. It's a poorly disguised track-by-track that quickly runs out of things to say about the album by paragraph 2. I really wish I could delete this rev from the site, and the only reason it stays is so I can remind myself what not to do ever again in a review. | |

07.08.23 | Cool idea and definitely requires some self reflection. No way am I doing mine though. | AnimalForce1
07.08.23 | I think a bit of self-reflection is good every now and then! But it’s definitely something that can’t be done after a certain amount of reviews lol |
