the thing is that what btbam lack is songwriting and emotion. and his voice doesnt contribute any
emotion to the music at all.

thats not the only stuff they lack but i think those are the most glaring flaws

Why would anybody listen to BTBAM for emotional content though? It's all pretty robotic.

Yeah, but neither does Tommy Rogers. Except for in the climax of Mordecai and err, that kind of spoken word chant part of White Walls. The one that says something about "get out of this closed circle" or whatever the lyrics are there.

i don't think you listen to bands for purely anything, whether it be technicality, songwriting proficiency, lyricism or emotion. i think everyone to some degree needs a few factors to their music. and in btbam's case they have a huge amount of technical ability, some decent to good lyrics (sometimes) and that's it.

the review is a little bit rough but it's still pretty good. just keep on writing and it should sort itself out. the only thing that I would work on is the transitions when you introduce ideas. the "introducing aspect of the album. this means that..." formatting makes it a tad but choppy.

Great first review. I don't think the album is perfect, but it is spectacular. Also, I think Tommy's vocals have gotten worse. They were at their best on TSC and Alaska imo.

This was a good first review. This really bothered me though:
"This record is also a lot more experimental than Colors which makes this album a lot more experimental and progressive in nature."

I enjoyed Colours but i found some of the songs a bit too long as if they just extended them for the sake of making them massive or something. I may check into this.

This record is also a lot more experimental than Colors which makes this album a lot more experimental and progressive in nature.




You already said it was "a lot more experimental", don't need both. Other than that, a lot of your review lacks flow. You abruptly stop sentences that could easily be joined together, and switch subjects abruptly also.



Example (made up):

"Tommy's vocals are one of the strong points of this album. Ponies. The guitar work is also solid. More Ponies."



These are pretty minor nitpicks, and they will fade as you get more comfortable with writing. Good luck and decent first review, pos'd.

Why, good day sir! I could not help but notice that, while asserting your grammatical superiority, you made a grammatical mistake of your own! Being the good chap I am, I felt it my duty to inform you that the also in your sentence cannot be used to end a sentence because its function is to bridge a thought. In standard speech, it can be used as an minor exclamation, but in written format, it is nothing but absurd!



Good day to you!
