I learned a valuable lesson about record reviews when my new album got some
pre-release write-ups in some European press recently:
Most reviewers are just plain lazy. 80% of a review is often a regurgitation
of an artist¹s bio, and MAYBE 20% is actual comment on the quality of the
music.
The bio these guys were cribbing from wasn¹t bad, but I realized if I was
going to be essentially writing my own reviews, my bio needed some work.
Lesson learned, brand new bio going out with the press copies next month!
