Print is a way better medium for music reviews than anything with actual audio, paradoxically. You can't review music using audio, at that point you may as well just play the track.
A written review is a kind of two-step, a puzzle between the writer and reader. The writer evokes the gestalt of the music without being able to reference it directly. It's more interesting than the actual music a lot of the time, and there's a vague erotic tinge to it.
- d1sxeyes 4y agoI used to listen to Kerrang! Radio in the UK when it first launched and they did these super interesting deep dives through an artist's catalogue later on in the evening, where they'd play snippets from songs, interwoven with the story of the band. I can't remember the name of the guy who did most of them, but I really enjoyed them. I agree though often it's easier just to listen to the song and make your own mind up.
