Music Blogs

What kind of writing do you look for in a music blog? I don't mean reviews strictly, but we might as well include that category.

I'm looking to improve my blog writing so I thought I'd check here to see what interests people.

Personally, I hate the overly wordy reviews that are out there that worry about writing about the smallest nuances of a song or album. Makes it seem like they're trying too hard.

Yeah I hate that too, Stephen.

What I look for is why should I listen to this band or singer? What do they bring that others don't or don't do as well? Have they recorded an album before and is this thier big break or are they overnight hits? If they are a well known band with a new album, how does this compare to thier previous releases? Better or worse?

How reliable they are with release dates? Because I was a die hard fan of a band until they kept pushing and pushing back thier release date of thier new album. I lost faith in them.

I hope this helps a bit.
