10.23.10 | I always think about mine while I am out running so it is tough to say. I also write them will doing schoolwork so I dunno 2-4 hours total. |
Crysis
10.23.10 | about an hour |
Sowing
10.23.10 | already talked about this in the mae thread, but for me i used to write 1 review per week, now i write 2-3 per week because im out of school and dont have a job yet...they typically take me an hour or an hour and a half, or if i work particularly hard on it 2-3 hours. |
vanderb0b
10.23.10 | 2 hours, usually. |
Irving
10.23.10 | I like couldwinarabbit's method. MULTITASKING FOR THE WIN. |
Counterfeit
10.23.10 | I usually write the review as I listen to the album, and will probably replay a song here or there so it depends on the album length so usually 45 min to an hour. |
newjunkaesthetic93
10.23.10 | I'm planning on picking a band and reviewing all of their albums. Otherwise I don't really have experience with reviews yet |
Blackbelt54
10.23.10 | i've written 1 review and it took an hour |
couldwinarabbit
10.23.10 | All my reviews are under 500 words though (most are around 250) so that makes it harder to do. |
Irving
10.23.10 | For those who review often, do you do it weekly?
For those who don't, I want to hear from you!!! |
vanderb0b
10.23.10 | Now that school started, I'm aiming for 1 or 2 per week, but I can't do any more than that atm. |
Irving
10.23.10 | Yeah school generally gets in the way of life hahahahhaha
But WOW I'm one slow turtle. 3 - 5 hours AND one per week ONLY. Wow I suck. |
Bitchfork
10.23.10 | I only write for sputnik when I'm inspired to. Reviews can take about 25 mins. (my Yukon Blonde review for example, was the easiest thing for me to write ever), or it can take about 2 1/2 hours (my Bionic review). |
Curse.
10.23.10 | half an hour to an hour |
Emim
10.23.10 | I only write when I feel inspired to do so, and sometimes that inspiration leaves halfway through the review. I have a bunch of half-written reviews lying around.
Probably about a couple of hours all together though. |
BSX
10.23.10 | About a week |
tiesthatbind
10.23.10 | The actual writing doesn't take too long, but I usually have reviews planned for a while before I actually get around to starting them. If I'm inspired I can write one in a couple hours but usually it takes longer cause I'm a perfectionist when it comes to these reviews. |
AnotherBrick
10.23.10 | I started a review when I joined. I'm pry about half way done |
Irving
10.23.10 | HAHA! YOU CAN DO IT!! |
Mr. Lizard
10.23.10 | I don't really see how it could take more than about 2 hours to write about 8 paragraphs especially if you have a certain formula in mind, then again I've never reviewed ... |

10.23.10 | about a year |
awhiteguy
10.23.10 | I'll finish it usually in an hour or so, and then I sit on it for a day and comeback the next and read it. Sometimes I revise everything, sometimes I just leave it be. |
Irving
10.23.10 | I'm seriously going to time myself next time. The goal is to finish a review in two hours!! Then I'll break the 120 minute barrier and dip under 100! |
klap
10.24.10 | generally an hour |
Kiran
10.24.10 | i usually knock them out in 45 minutes or so of solid writing but then have to spend about 15 minutes the next day proof reading, changing awkward sentences, etc |
Bitchfork
10.24.10 | "I don't really see how it could take more than about 2 hours to write about 8 paragraphs especially if you have a certain formula in mind, then again I've never reviewed ..."
I end up doing something completely different than what I envisioned doing before writing 99% of the time. |
Athom
10.24.10 | about a half hour |
Satellite
10.24.10 | about a year and a half and counting |
Josh D.
10.24.10 | Usually between 20-35 minutes or so. |

10.24.10 | In between three seconds and 30 years. |
Irving
10.24.10 | Damn it fr33convict, you STILL working on that review for Pink Floyd's The Wall? |
fr33convict
10.24.10 | Almost done. I've still got to check my spelling... |
SoapySoap
10.24.10 | Months. Still have yet to try a review. Not much of a writer so I might not even do one ever. |
fr33convict
10.24.10 | Maybe only another year, two tops. |
Irving
10.24.10 | Let me know if you need any help k fr33convict? I have experience with struggling with reviews myself - this piece on The Beatles' Please Please Me is really kicking my ass right now...and I got a leaked copy too. |
Butkuiss
10.24.10 | I can usually write a review within an hour, maybe two. Then I spend maybe ten minutes editing. And I'm not that regular with my writing. I'll do three in a week then not bother for a month. But I try to stagger my postings a little. Just a little. |
JAV
10.24.10 | Hour or so then I let it sit for a day or two then come back and reread it before I post. |
Irving
10.26.10 | How frequent are your reviews though? |
