Anyone know of any good sites to read album reviews?
Have been using amazon for awhile now and was looking for something better.

psynews
a bit narrow in terms of music style….but there are PLENTY of reviews there.

You could also scan the umpteen jillion music blogs out there.
I’m sure a google search of “xxx - xxxxx album review blog” will pull up numerous reliable sources

Honestly though…there’s no review better than trying it out for yourself before buying…
Just gotta remember to be diligent in supporting the great artists of this world. tongue laugh

you might find reviews on discogs.com

just pick an album of your choice and see if someone gave his opinion in written form.

i found the rating system on their site to be pretty reliable. an album that has received a lot of good ratings tends to be rather good. that’s how i discovered woob or nuclear ramjet’s ‘mission to sedna’.

I usually just listen on Psyshop and make a decision from there - let my ears do the review. One of the members on here sometimes does very good reveiws I think it’s Lunitari.

This site has loads of info on http://psymusic.co.uk/ check the new albums section and there’s loads of recommendations on it.

I have enjoyed more than a couple of his reviews. They are always a good read.

Thanx for the psynews.co.uk

Isratrance sometimes has really thorough track-by-track reviews, like a paragraph per track!
