Re: Looping back to Krispen's old critics thread (was sorta: using laptops for music"



Such as historical or verifiable comparisons regarding melodies, 
techniques,
tid bids about the band history or members, other things that readers find
interesting and indicate that the reviewer gives a shit about understanding
the band, the context in which the CD was recorded or produced, etc...you
don't think music reviews areall about value statements do you?  Good
reviews most always contain a healthy balance of factual and evaluative
commentary.

Verifiable facts?  Were you writing for the sports section?  Otherwise...
