10.03.22 | 3-4 listens (or more), semi-casual (so, while doing chores, etc) so I can assess whether the album will 'grab' a listener who isn't really paying full attention.
See what comments/thoughts I have.
If necessary, put the album into context of the band's overall discography and career circumstances at the time of release.
Start forming those into points in my head, and thinking up a structure.
Establish a rating.
See if anything changes on the last two listens.
Write review, making sure to incorporate the points I came up with, and any particularly good turns of phrase I may have dreamed up. Otherwise, whatever comes out, comes out. |

10.03.22 | i don't write reviews, i just use the album or whatever as an excuse to discuss some topíc i'm interested in at a given time. |

10.04.22 | i should write more, tbh. I just find it extremely tiresome. Also i've spent most of the last 2 years writing and reading a lot for my thesis. Maybe next year after i take a breather i might just go ham on some stuff i've been meaning to write about lol |

10.04.22 | I don't [2]
honestly never thought I'd post a review on here - time eventually proved that to be wrong
don't know if I'll ever do any more... have been thinking about trying to put something together for Golden Skin the past few days though |

10.04.22 | I don't review albums frequently here, but I do write for another site. my process is caffeine-fueled, rife with self-doubt, and plodding slow compared to other folks' styles. usually takes me 8-12 listens per album, and I always sleep on a draft before finalizing it |

10.04.22 | manic frenzy. never more than 45 minutes spent. very silly way to work. good stuff
taking notes without any greater conceptual goal or shape in mind can be helpful
every paragraph should flow from the previous one and every paragraph should flow somewhat naturally from the first paragraph too
one of my biggest writerly sins--so many sins--is that my reviews end up in TOO different a place from where they began. so always read it over again and make sure the claims/ideas of the first paragraph properly haunt the following paragraphs |
