Author	Topic: Score Check - a new review site

	Okay, time for a bit of shameless self promotion. I've just started a new review blog and I'd like to know what you think. I have very little musical background, but I don't think that's all that important -- some might disagree. I'm used to harsh criticism, so let me have it. I'm not asking whether or not you agree with my assessment, but rather if it was a worthwhile read and why or why not. I'm new to the whole formal review type writing, and I'd like to improve as much as possible, so I'll definitely listen to what you have to say. http://scorecheck.blogspot.com/

	Good first review. I don't think your lack of musical knowledge as you called it affected you any; you seem to have a strong grasp of what makes a score good or bad. Looking forward to reading more. -----signature----- "Okey dokey, Doctor Jones, hold on to your potatoes!"

	Heh, I was thinking the same thing about Kilar's Dracula. The sequence in the Inn, right? Good first review. -----signature----- "There are people who have said that I'm being brave for being openly supportive of gay marriage, gay adoption- basically of gay rights- but with all due respect I humbly dissent. I'm not being brave. I'm being a decent human being." -Anne Hathaway

	I haven't heard this Stardust, but it seems a mark of a good review that you're calling it out for being repetitive and unoriginal.

	Thanks for the compliments. I hope to get a new review up once a week -- with this week being an exception since I've just started back at school and I'm still getting my stuff organized here. Hopefully as I write more, I'll find some kind of review style of my own and the reading won't be quite as dry. Whitey posted: Heh, I was thinking the same thing about Kilar's Dracula. The sequence in the Inn, right? Good first review. Yep. That's probably the most blatant example in the whole score.

	Yeah, in fact, whenever I think back on that scene a choirless "The Storm" plays in my head. -----signature----- "There are people who have said that I'm being brave for being openly supportive of gay marriage, gay adoption- basically of gay rights- but with all due respect I humbly dissent.

	My hope is to review Howard Shore's new Eastern Promises when I get a chance to pick it up. I don't know when that'll be though. I've been so busy with school work though, I've gone a few days where I've only had one meal! I'm hoping it will slow down soon...

	Review for Eastern Promises is up. I'm researching the best way to do an RSS feed so that I don't have to post here every time I write something. Next up will be Elizabeth: The Golden Age by Craig Armstrong and A.R. Rahman.
