farmerobama: Need Advice on How to Write Reviews / Vinyl Update #2

JustJoe. 11.15.20	okay i will let others give you more serious advice but for my input i would say check user pizzamachine’s “how to review an album” list-series
porcupinetheater 11.15.20	Do a track by track, and start the review by quoting a dictionary definition of a semi-relevant word
JustJoe. 11.15.20	quickest way to make staff yeah
JustJoe. 11.15.20	read all of my reviews & literally don’t do any of what i did is actually maybe the best serious advice i can give
el_newg 11.15.20	type in your native language then use google translate. always gets a pos from me.
Bedex 11.15.20	trolling aside just want to say that I'm not a native speaker either and so are a lot of people who post reviews, it's no problem really you can find people to proofread your reviews if that's a worry, and you can always ask for corrections and make the edits after you've posted I do get that it makes the writing process a little less fluid though but practice makes perfect! :]
farmerobama 11.15.20	Thanks Bedex!
JohnnyoftheWell 11.15.20	Just write stuff and keep writing stuff and pay attention to the reasons why it's not amazing and then keep writing and then it'll be better. Don't stress about it too much, and soak up as much feedback as you can - most important thing is to start out asap and learn fast :]
farmerobama 11.15.20	Thanks! I'll try asap.
Ecnalzen 11.15.20	If you let ppl know you aren't native in the language you are reviewing in (typically in your first comment and not in the actual review) and try not to get defensive if you get some criticism, it should be alright. A lotta users on here will help with proofreading and edits (either before or after you post the write up) and like Bedex said, you can edit a review after you post it to try and clean anything up that you notice or gets pointed out to you. When I reviewed, I always typed it up in something other than Sputnik first for a back up, just in case, and copied it in (Word, OpenOffice, or whatever tickles writing your fancy), and then fix any possible formatting issues, so you don't possibly lose it during the submitting process and have to start all over again. And that way, if you want, you can have some time to sit with it before you post it here. Hope this thread gets you started and reviewing soon!
TheAntichrist 11.15.20	never capitalize your sentences, half ass your punctuation, and write no more than two sentences unless you do a big ass run on sentence lol
combustion07 11.16.20	Bring back track by track reviews please. I miss them
TheAntichrist 11.16.20	a great song 5/5
Dewinged 11.16.20	Write a first review, anything, then get butchered in the comments section, rinse and repeat until you get in the motions.
Drifter 11.16.20	Write a review in your native language that would be dope
Avagantamos 11.16.20	you can copy/paste my reviews and take credit for them if you want
