What I do is don't approach a review like a buyer's guide but instead describe the album in a half-abstract way which uncovers details and interpretations which might not be instantly recognisable; like a supplement to the album almost. Also I focus on making an entertaining piece of writing first, the album second.

Bump, do people want to think about new albums or in what direction this thread should go?

Ill be posting a live review of Twisted Wheel among others on Monday, but not sure what else we could do (unless we make it a place for people to review anything they like - albums, gigs, tracks etc)

[Gucci Piggy]

Yeah, a place to post reviews of anything whenever people want seems logical.

[Muppetmark]

suggesteed trio but we should be allowed to review anything we feel like. i like the suggestions because it makes me go and listen to those albums at least once

[Com Truise]

live reviews after r&l will be good, and there are a lot of albums out in september i'm interested in, we seem to have hit a bit of a dull patch at the minute for albums

edit; DORIS is out soon though

Does anybody take their reviews seriously though?

[The Placid Casual]

yeah, the people who enjoy shit like BE

[Gucci Piggy]

NME gave it a 6. They seem to be generous with bands you like this year (Editors & Tribes getting 4s)

What are the odds that this will be hilariously better than Beady Eye's new 7/10 album?

Does anybody take their reviews seriously though?

[Com Truise]

They clearly have a personal vendetta against me. Hesitation Marks will be given a 4 next.

I'm also willing to bet AM gets a 9, no matter how good it is.

[The Placid Casual]

I'm going to go with a 10... seeing as they actually liked 2013. If HM gets anything less than 8 I will punch them in their cocks. The songs we've heard so far have been great

[Com Truise]

They hate NIN though

[The Placid Casual]

They hate Trent, Social network got 8/10, the slip 7/10 and year zero 5/10 of what I can find. But they've been bumming them endlessly since they came back this year, so who knows?

The year zero reviewer is clearly harboring an intense hatred for Trent http://www.nme.com/reviews/nine-inch-nails/8450

I haven't seen the film, but the soundtrack won a golden globe and oscar for best original score didn't it (among 9 total awards)? I think that merits a 10/10 rather than an 8/10!

On personal preference, none of their albums are below 8/10 for me.

Not a 0/10... however http://www.nme.com/reviews/nine-inch-nails/3649 Pitchfork gave it 0.4

Didn't NME give it a perfect 10?
