Thank you everyone for the feedback everyone.
Also, thanks AtomicWaste for catching some of the minor errors
Also, conventionally, song titles are just in double quotes (not italicized), album titles are italicized. Doing two things to something essentially identifies it as both of the types (i.e. a song title and an album title).
The reason that I italicize song titles is because sometimes people don't want to read the entire review and they just want to know about the songs and how they sound. So I like to have the song names be distinguished so they can just read about them. It's more of a personal preference.

I see where Klap is coming from about u being too wordy at times, but u should write whatever way makes you happy.
I like my style of writing, I'm proud of it, but I've gotten to comfortable with it. I read a lot of the other user's reviews, they're more "conversational". They even put a few jokes into their reviews, making them all the more fun to read. I think it might do that in an upcoming one. I'm always looking to grow as a writer, so I really like criticism.

I like to think that double quotes are enough to make something stand out. But if you don't, bold may be the way to go, then, since italics is generally understood to denote album names (and is the "proper" convention, see http://homeworktips.about.com/od/mlastyle/a/titles.htm and other such sources). Using bold is at least somewhat more conventional, since Blabbermouth tends to do it with their music news, though I still think it's a little gaudy.
It's still technically your choice (especially since most of the writing on Sputnik doesn't exactly follow convention), but there is a proper way of doing it.

@AtmonicWaste
I wrote album reviews for my high school paper, and a lot of people would always ask to me make the song titles more noticeable and so I started italicizing them. Now it's become a custom. But if it's the professional way I'll stop. I also hate bolding, I personally think it looks ugly (if that makes sense), but that's just me.
Anyway, thank you for the tips and stuff, mate. I mean that.

I'm just changing my style, because I'm happy with it, but I might renovate some things.
@AtomicWaste
Like I said, I like criticism. Because if you never hear it, you never grow.

all these people going "no do whatever you want" are defeating the purpose of the criticism, the review obviously isn't bad. These are just suggestions

Listened to some of this today. Cool stuff. Wouldn't have known about it if I didn't stop to check this review out. Solid stuff, Paperback.

change your writing style but don't change your writing style!!!
also: people can ctrl+f if they're looking for what you say about a particular song. don't shit on the tradition of the written word because of lazy assholes who don't care to read your entire review.

how did i miss this review? it's weird that you can combine the words jazz and funk to create 'junk' because it is nothing of the sort. Fantastic write-up, Hernan. pos

I think the instrumental stuff works better than the songs with vocals. Kinda wish the whole album was just instrumental.
