Tips for writing a great review: Play the album from beginning to end. Listen to its overall sound. What appeals to you and makes it unique? What lyrics (If any) or sounds stand out to you? Take a 10-minute break and then listen through the album a second time again. This time, study it more technically and try to find its problems, if any. Take notesnote certain lyrics that you enjoy or certain instruments that really the tracks come alive. Circle any personal favorite tracks and take note of why. Be certain that your notes are legible and detailed, as they will serve as your guide as you write. Type up the first draft. A basic album review format should include a brief introduction about the artist, the album, and the performer's style of music. Break down the album from start to finish. Explain which tracks you liked best first. Work your way to the bottom of your personal track list, where you should discuss how you feel the album may falter. Conclude the review with your overall opinion and state whether or not you would recommend the album to others. Read your work before turning it in!
