MyNameIsPencil: Are Track By Track Reviews Justifiable For First Reviews?

Artuma 06.18.13	if it's a brilliant tbt then yes but first reviews usually aren't so i guess no
Trebor. 06.18.13	They're for never
Trebor. 06.18.13	Maybe I'll Catch Fire sweet I'll pos your review
climactic 06.18.13	no if you absolutely must then please dont do the "it starts with this and then this and then the guitarists does that and then...." its the absolute worst
MyNameIsPencil 06.18.13	like I wasn't going to do THAT, but overall atmosphere of the song and personal feelings and that junk. I was also going to make it track by track but not in "traditional" form, like make it in a flowing paragraph or so
chemicalmarriage 06.18.13	yes. give an update of how the song changes every 30 seconds and how it affects you physically, spiritually and mentally. Make sure you elaborate and use lots of words that are completely outside of your vocabulary or would otherwise prove to be incredibly awkward when used in conversation. Godspeed.
YourDarkAffected 06.18.13	Depends on the album. Albums that have very diverse tracks could benefit from a track by track review like that. Radiohead's Hail to the Thief comes to mind, but generally reviews like that aren't as strong as ones that focus on the overall picture
Trebor. 06.18.13	Most albums aren't worth mentioning every track, unless you do it in a rapid fire type way within structured paragraphs that are actually about things
Trebor. 06.18.13	"Albums that have very diverse tracks could benefit from a track by track review like that. Radiohead's Hail to the Thief comes to mind" no no no, it's so much better to actually discuss why it's diverse in paragraph form instead of just going: The album is very diverse: Track 1. It's great Track 2. It's different than 1 Track 3. It starts off all good and then gets better, different from tracks 1 and 2 Track 4: Wow what a track, so unique, definitely different than tracks 1 and 2 and 3
chemicalmarriage 06.18.13	I really think you should write a 5 paragraph essay for each track. Make sure to develop and reinforce an original thesis statement for each one or I will neg you from afar.
ILJ 06.18.13	Unless there's only a few songs on the whole album like a gy!be album, then no, not really. It's much better to give a general feel of the album and pick standouts to describe as examples. Track by tracks are just clunky and generally unpleasant and uninteresting to read.
Mister Twister 06.18.13	I did that for my first review. I still need to re-write that. Moved into the typical essay format for my second review, Abstract Symphony by Majestic, which I graded a 5. It's hard to write a 5 review without it being gushing, but I tried.
slipnslide 06.18.13	coitus
chemicalmarriage 06.18.13	indeed
Mister Twister 06.18.13	I decided not to write a track-by-track review because Sputnik seems to hate being productive and prefers shallow half-assed opinions about albums.

chemicalmarriage 06.18.13	@baseline - nice
Liberi Fatali 06.18.13	If you care about pos/neg ratings then don't do a track by track. But if it gets you started and into the swing of reviewing, then do it.
ConcubinaryCode 06.18.13	What album are you reviewing?
tempest-- 06.18.13	Don't do a track by track. Also, don't have spelling errors like "justicfiable".
Mad. 06.18.13	no [2638261529161047]
Liberi Fatali 06.18.13	yes [1]
ViperAces 06.18.13	every user started with it so you might as well do it
MyNameIsPencil 06.18.13	I was actually gonna follow Trebor and do "Maybe I'll Catch Fire" by Alkaline Trio and I was going to write it in flowing paragraph format but try to talk about every track, even for a sentence.
anarchistfish 06.18.13	just try to review the best you can track by tracks suck
jesuslover46 06.18.13	no
Mongi123 06.18.13	Even if they're incredibly well written you get negs from them anyway so just don't do tbt reviews. I know from my past experiences.
MuhNamesTyler 06.18.13	Hi pencil, my name is tyler
DikkoZinner 06.18.13	Yes
