Origen - if you\'ve got something to say, write a review! believe me, some of them are pretty short in that collection. I kept the requirements for "what a review and what is not" very simplistic when assembling the older reviews into a collection.
I based it on the following:
Its a review if:*It could be published (i.e. no spelling errors, you could see it in a magazine or on a major website)
*You could read it and by the time your done you want to download it and your asking yourself what you were doing that was so important you missed the show.
*It explains why a song was good / bad in any form (some of the people that have been to alot of shows can get pretty descriptive)
*It was your first show and you were blown away and had to share the feeling by writting about it.
Its not a review if:*Less than a paragraph (3 sentences) in total length.
*not enough information to explain anything signifigant about the show one way or another.
overall, to be a review it should be able to give the reader the feeling that they were there (or kicking themselves for not being).
And remember, a review can be positive and negative. The whole idea behind the review section is to have a cross section of the band as they and the songs evolve. The more people write, the better it will be!
