You spend a lot of time describing songs, most of which isn't necessary. You're far better off picking a few stand-out songs and maybe describing them within the context of the album - also don't go into detail about the songs themselves, eg. the bass line starts then the drums and then the first verse. You can talk about the lyrics, instrumentation or the meaning of the song, but don't go into direct description. We can just listen to the song.
Your writing is good, it's mainly your over the top description of songs that makes it hard to read. I'd advise read as any staff and contributor reviews as you can, and try to condense what you have to say. This review could be less than half the length and be far more effective.
Finally, I've already mentioned this but I'll mention it again. Do NOT use bolding. It's not only ugly, but unneccessary. Italicise record titles as you would titles of books, and put song names into quotation marks, as you would an extract or short story from a larger text. Lyrics should also be put in quotation marks as you would a quote.
