First review, any thoughts anyone? Sorry if its too short.

On their Metal Blade debut The Illusion of Motion, they created their masterpiece. By adding a new drummer along with a heavy dose of stoner aggression and a bigger production, to the spacey psychedelic music on Catharsis and their debut.
Read that sentence out loud and tell me if it makes any sense to you.
loose should be "lose"
Once you're hooked you'll want to keep traveling back into the world of YOB. Just to hear the infectious rhythms, and colossal yet magnificent guitar playing the album displays.
This is awkwardly divided up
From the fierce opener Ball of Molten Lead, with its gargantuan riffs and bowel rupturing bass lines. To the mammoth title track, that slowly builds. Lumbering along for most of its duration, until the end as its picks up for a frantically groovy finish.
So is this
The album is completly flawless
*completely, and be careful about making such assertions
A truly unique album that in a genre that for a large part is stale and littered with imitators, will continue to stand tall.
Lots of fragments in this review, so I guess it's fitting it should end with one too. Overall this review is really choppy, but there are definitely hints of good writing in here. Try to clean up your grammar a little bit (we do have a proofreading thread if you are interested) and maybe just flesh out your detailed explanations a little more. It's only your first review (most people's first reviews suck, and I remember mine wasn't that great either) so just keep working at it and I think you will end up writing some decent reviews. Oh, and length isn't an issue as long as you are concise and articulate with your points.

I love the length of the review and it's about time this album gets some recognition. The above mentioned grammar/ sentence structure points are something you will have to work on with future reviews too. For a first review though, have a vote for doing this album justice.

kudos for reviewing this.
Good review for a first, pos, but be sure to edit what SowingSeason pointed out in detail.
The eponymous track is the abyss.

Thanks for the comments, really appreciate it. I tried fixing the stuff Sowingseason mentioned, so it would read a little better. YOB does deserve alot more recognition than they get. They are without a doubt my favorite doom metal band of all time. I want to try reviewing maybe Catharsis and the Middian album next.

I love Atma and this kind of metal in general... why don't I have this?
I just read the review now and it seems like a lot of the errors mentioned in previous comments have been fixed. Pretty good for a first review.

you have to listen to this stoned

this is pretty good actually but i'm surprised no one has commented on the huge neurosis similarities
which pretty much answers my question as to why people like this so much and i only think it's pretty good

Pretty vague similarity if you ask me. This is a beast all on it's own.

the riffs, production and builds all highly resemble neurosis' style, even some of the vocals do

all of YOB's albums rule and are incredibly consistent in quality. this one didn't grab me like The Unreal That Never Lived, Atma or Catharsis, but it's grown over time.
similary, Elaborations of Carbon has become potentially my favorite YOB record...

Heavy as fuck but that's pretty much one can expect from a YOB album. Strong and powerful record although I don't dig the title song as much the opener or Doom #2.
