Your reactions are a little over the top I think. This review does kind of comes off as something I'd read on /r/OffMyChest. It just might lean in a little too much to your personal life for a general music review. I mean if that's what you're going for then I don't think you need to be so hostile to the criticisms here, I don't think anything is saying this is poorly written or anything: if you set out to write a personal piece where the actual music is kind of secondary, I'd say you accomplished your goal. People on sputnik can often be snarky but that's always how it's been. Otherwise the stuff you say about the actual music is really solid, like in the 8th(!) paragraph, nice descriptions.

i also think this is very well-written and while the criticisms are all certainly valid (and from peeps i very much respect) i do think it's odd that people are targeting this one when i've seen plenty of worse-written pieces (even at a staff & contrib level!) get largely universal check-the-box "great review!" feedback



this was clearly something that was very important to you and can't have been easy to write - well done!

How do you go about deleting your own review? I seriously can’t find a way to do this, broken-ass 2007-lookin’ website I swear to god

Eh it’s really not worth it. Brief re-write just to take it down. Hopefully it’s aight.

Bro read some of my early reviews, they're way more personal and poorly written than this and you're a much better writer than I was at that point

Take heed some of the criticism but ignore the meanness, it's just because this album is in the middle of its anti-hype phase atm

Well thanks a ton man, I’m still proud of the review and I’m happy a few people liked what I brought to the table. Thanks for the encouragement

Wish the review was still up, I missed it!



"Why are you getting annoyed at people giving feedback to a review you post on a public forum? Whilst luci could have said it more sensitively, a lot of the first half is overwrought and the third paragraph is downright unprofessional. It's assumed that if you post a review on a music criticism website as a non-professional you are open to feedback and are looking to improve your writing. If you simply want to vent or get your ego stroked, start a blog."



is sputnik a writing workshop website am i missing something



user-submitted review for album discussion, gets hit with "downright unprofessional" yeah what

Album Rating: 3.5

Why would you try to delete it and then change the whole review just from one douchebaggy comment? Youre not gonna make it far here if thats all it takes to ruin something for you.



Edit: well maybe you will, i see youve been here for 4 years. Surprised you dont have thicker skin by now.

I think you should repost the original review with 3 additional paragraphs of personal stuff just to annoy that guy that was complaining

Nothing wrong with the review

wow the Inquisition back at it again?

Just let the man write whatever he wants, if you don't like it, neg and move on.

And to OP, copy back that paragraph you redacted dude, no one here has the power to tell you what or what not to write.

it doesn't need to be professional and yeah people could be a bit more sensitive but like, it's better to mention these things to them now so they can improve them. i was complete ass when i started reviewing. i stayed that way for a while too due to all the "wow amazing review dude"s i got

some of you never wrote a 5 avenged sevenfold review 10 minutes after the album dropped and it shows

I have reviews on here from an old account I had when I was a teenager and I just don’t look at them cause I don’t wanna know how awful they are

Album Rating: 4.0

Please bring back your review. There are some albums that are very personal and your review is genuine that way. Don’t worry about the 5 either. I have quite a few 5s though tend to be careful with them.

Album Rating: 4.0

don’t see why a user HAS to improve unless they express they want to be better



we talk a lot more about “great review” and the voices of reviewers than the music but maybe that’s the point of the site and I’m missing it

Album Rating: 3.5

If you want the review deleted, you can probably ask the mods in the forums; I'd advise against it, though, and agree that it's worth being more receptive to criticism like johnny's which was totally fair and helpful -- for sure, don't have to agree with it, even ignore it if it's not what you're looking for, people want different things in reviews, but yeah, definitely wouldn't take it too seriously.
