What's Your BEST Review?

Getting things started with my choice and some personal favorites not by me to offset the back-patting
1Bull of Heaven

review by me

I may or may not have been desperately grasping to emulate Butcherboy's fantastic To Be Kind review (linked below), but hey, if you're gonna steal steal from the best right? I think the nature of the album allows this rev to skirt the feeling of "god I should have gone into more detail on that point, that isn't persuasive at all" I often get with old reviews. postmodern shit is hard to get a handle on and critique in a substantive way and I think I managed to make a point that I can stand by to this day

8Zach Bryan
American Heartbreak

https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/84952/Zach-Bryan-American-Heartbreak/

Review by tyman128

"My Zach Bryan review is definitely one I'm most proud of. One of my longer write ups (which says a lot considering I'm usually one to write short/couple paragraph reviews). Definitely one of my most emotional reviews and longest to write... took me about a week and a half because I wanted to make sure I was hitting every single aspect of the music and story itself."

This is the One

https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/77538/Hikaru-Utada-This-is-the-One/

Review by Get Low

"I feel like I nailed the sweet spot of mixing a personal narrative into a thorough thesis on that review, and the way I wrote that review has since become the backbone for how I construct all of my other reviews. I sort of inspired myself with that review in a sense."
