This is the first review I've ever written. I know my writing sucks so I would appreciate some feedback so I can get better at this. Thanks!

not a bad first review. there are a few slightly clumsy turns of phrase here and there, but writing more and reading more reviews will probably clean those up with time. I'm also not entirely convinced that you've justified your 5, but eh, if its a 5 for you its a 5 for you

Thank you. I agree with you and I plan on doing just as you said. I constantly found myself having a hard time putting how I feel about the album into something cohesive that made sense.

I was kinda underwhelmed by this one, honestly. I never listened to Laugh Tracks but checked this out because of its warm reception here and it honestly sounds like they're relying way too hard on their sound, which is a good sound, but there's just not enough compelling songwriting. None of the songs really held my attention after a listen and a half. That being said, I'm pretty sure I'm in the minority there.
No one's first review is great and this sure is better than mine. Best advice I could give is just to avoid cliches as much as you can and talk about it from your perspective. I personally detest reviews of any art that just read like they're defending/attacking what they like/dislike, or read like promotional material. If you're giving something a 5, it's because it had a profound impact on you. Talk about that! The best reviews are always personalized by the author because it's about their experience with the album. They might mention objective qualities of the music (and you seem like you can easily do that based on this review), but they aren't the focus of the review.
As a final tip, I know it's popular, especially in older reviews, but I would omit the favorite tracks out of the review. Sometimes I'll mention them in the first comment if something really stands out to me but doesn't fit in the review itself.

Recommending a few track (and even providing links) in the first comment is a good way to go as well. I remember enjoying this when it first dropped and will have to revisit with the attention it's been getting lately.

This is surprisingly good, also this band doesn’t seem anywhere near as obscure as I’d assumed. 300+ votes, wtf?

I’m not really up with the scene, I just managed to completely miss this on release and then saw it on some end of year lists, lol. For a new release 300+ isn’t too shabby for lil’ ol’ Sput.

Its here where the cool guys hang? Good rev. Album's only flaw is the oversimplistic drumming imo...it could be faster paced here and there too. It slays all along tho...far from a 5 band.
I d like to see some props for the low growls here! By the Grave is brutal. Also to Keith Buckley's apperance and to ..wandering south (other fave of mine). Now to get you guys all sassy, I dig the noise samples and inputs and talking vocals, gives me those cool Code Orange vibes.

Not really, but it is where you can find cool af riffs. This is my kind of core. I like the slower groovy sections, the album benefits from a little variety.

This remains very enjoyable.

This was one of my favorites last year. Not necessarily because it pushed anything, but because it was well-executed and it came at the right time for me.
