yeah you get revel in the fact that you can't watch the most patriotic and american thing you'll ever see at work.









Well, you'd get fired and someone would PPPPPPPPPPPPPPROMOTED, but hey it'll be worth the wait.

maybe not killed but stripped of their title, ridiculous wealth and insane admiration received by the idiots of the uk would do me fine

Yeah, I'm aware of Ali G. Never really seen any of his (well, Sacha Cohen's) material. I'll check some out when I get off work.

Hey dude, sorry for the late-ish response. Here's some feedback:

I understand that it might seem OK to some to use rhetorical questions in a review, but I'm not a huge fan of it - it's kinda indirect and "lazy" (not in terms of you using them but in terms of the tone it gives the review). You have no real reason to ask questions you're going to answer in the next paragraph or the next sentence, unless it's a particularly good one. A single question might be OK, but throwing three in is a little much.

On that note, the general "genre" intro is something that you should try to figure out how to avoid. If you're going to talk about ambient recordings in general, you should zero in on what in the genre you want to focus on and how The National Park Service fits in precisely instead of a more general "it can suck but not always!". I've done way too many of these in my reviews and am finally moving away from them, even though it's tempting and easy to do general genre overviews.

As to the length of the review: I think you did a pretty good job describing everything, but it feels a little like you're padding the review with the opening and closing. The middle paragraph is where you're best here - it's a really nice description of the sound and ethos of the record - but the general intro-outro format takes up a lot of time and space when it doesn't really need to. It's worth thinking about how to tighten up your writing a little bit so that you're not saying "this isn't bad, just average" twice in the same four-sentence paragraph.

Overall, this is a pretty solid review, and I'm glad you could actually talk about this album (I'd be at a total loss for words). Nice work, have a pos, and thanks for keepin' on!
