If you're actually worried (and that's slightly sad), then get it right. If you don't know it, then research research research. Your review might not be the definitive word, but informative writing comes from accuracy. You think people don't question genres everyday around here? It's just when I do it, it's not about post rock, post hardcore, metalcore vs deathcore and drone music
It's more me using what I know, because after all, you're the first one I've heard to label that style of
music "breaks."
You're the first person I've ever seen to call it "100BPM glitch hop" (seriously, what the fuck)

Ok, thanks for that lengthy response Zettel. I'll get better with time, and I do plan to keep writing so good things should hopefully come. I really appreciate the care you put into your post and to be honest those are things I've been worrying about myself as I've been writing - I feel like sometimes I'm just repeating my same formula over and over again, but I don't really know how to write my reviews any differently. Describing what I like about songs seems like the best way for me to express my feelings about the albums, but I suppose my reviews will begin to flow better soon. And your criticism is really the first legit feedback I've gotten, so thank you again.
And 100BPM glitch hop is just redundant, I don't call it that. If it's glitch hop, then it's probably going to be between 100-110 BPM. And I'm not "worried" about anything, I just want a healthy discussion going on instead of genre, genre, genre. There's more to the music than just that, and that's what I tend to unfortunately confine myself to. I'll get better with time, I just don't want every single one of my electronic reviews to turn into a battlefield.

Genres tend to be discreet categories forced on an infinitely varied spectrum. They have their uses in describing what something is "kind of like," but otherwise they're limited. Something can be "kind of like" a lot of things, but arguing what it's "kind of like" the most can often be idiotic (especially when certain people get really, really stuck on the fact that they are 'right' and the other person is 'wrong'), which is why I tend to shy away from such arguments.
There are plenty of ways to go about doing reviews, and while people have their individual styles it's possibly worth trying others out. Have a look around, it's quite interesting seeing how other people do things.

I agree completely

So, is this as good as Valken or what? Because I'm getting the feeling it isn't.

'Biggest disappointment ever, but of course you'd love this'
I'm guessing you're like the guru of every asshole on the planet

Chill your base, Thomas. No need to be so aggressive.

I thought I liked this a lot on first listen, but it's slowly wearing off me. Some really great tracks but as an album it's just kinda messy: all over the place. It's a shame because I thought I would really, really enjoy this. I still like it, just not that much. I think my taste in dubstep has evolved or something, cause I almost never enjoy Reso like I used to, and he was my favourite dubstep producer at one point. Ah well, I'll always have minimal mondays on rinse.fm at least.
