first time writing a 5 review, also first time writing something more experimental. i'm sure this is gonna get bombed with negs but it's whatever, i wrote this up and i was proud of it. constructive criticism is always appreciated, thank you for reading. i'm okay.

This is the most emo thing ever.

Also call it what you will but this is not a review, I guess it works for what it is though.

i want you to write poems about how to stay alive

i want you to write about the places you feel at home rather than the places you wish you could be

Album Rating: 4.5

it's a review to me just not in the conventional sense, this is what the album made me feel and it made me imagine the countless times i listened to it, and how i imagined the writing process of the record to be. it inspired me to write this piece i guess, it's a really thought provoking album imo ¯_(ツ)_/¯ thanks for the feedback anyways boney

i want you to put down the knife...

review is beautiful. it is what it is, not gonna attempt to give criticisms

That's not a review. It's someone attempting to sound artistic rather than writing a review. Great, that's what it made you "feel." All it tells me is that the album made you feel like a generic-brand emo poet, and told me fuck all about the album itself. What genre is this? What does it sound like? How are the songs structured? This review could be about a band, a movie, or a particularly delicious pizza for all I know.

So, I guess, good work on trying to convince me an album is a classic and simultaneously making sure I don't listen to it.

if you're REALLY curious about the album I guess read my review. I wholeheartedly disagree with a lot of what you said but I can agree with you to some extent that this isnt a conventional review. how helpful is it to the reader in figuring out what the album sounds like? not a lot. but is that a review's main function? probably not.

A review talks about and criticizes the album, giving a "review" of what the listener can expect from it. This does none of these things. I get that that's not what it's trying to do though, as I said it works for what it is, but a review it is not. It's a piece inspired by the album. That's fine - as I said recently actually in fact I wish Sput had a way for users to submit different types of pieces about albums or music in general - this would fit that sort of thing perfectly.

it's a concept review, i'm sorry it doesn't scratch every part of what your idea of a perfect review should be, reviews are subjective. writing is subjective.

chill mate, Boney's saying its fine, just doesn't fit the label of 'review', which is fine

jack and soccerriot have published poem reviews kinda like this as of recently

Ian, capitalize your sentences and I'll probably pos. I've already heard the album a few times, so I get what you're going for here and actually kind of like it- as unorthodox as it is, or whether or not it really feels like a review.

Also yeah sorry, the review is lovely too. Good on you for posting it, I don't think I'm currently confident enough in my writing to post a poem like this

Ah, yeah, I haven't seen how they stylize everything. Makes sense.
