The album reviews section has been steadily building readership through the course of the quarter, during which we’ve been publishing an average of 14 album reviews each week. (I sat down and actually worked this out. I need to get out more.)
Lauded and slated albums alike make the list – the Top 10 alone contains five-star and one-star appraisals. Oh, and only reviews published this year make the cut. So STEP AWAY FROM THE KILLERS REVIEW PLZTHX.
