We need a place to discuss albums after their release. Kinda like a "thoughts" or mini review thread. I want to hear what the general consensus on Versailles new album is.

i think it is interesting you say that @lichtlune. In some ways that means I achieved the goal I set out to with ORZ. When @CAT5and I originally founded ORZ it was in response to a dearth of well thought out ideas on an album. a "review" used to consistute a sentence or two and then a contrived rating. we didn't feel as if such a system gave a reader an honest impression of the music.
ORZ has their way of doing things and that shouldn't affect how non-ORZ members use the review forum. its part of the reason why i created a subforum for ORZ reviews in the first place. and even within ORZ there aren't lots of rules about how to write things. we agreed on a standard template only because it's easier for us. but for example there's no such thing as a review length. they can be as short or as long as they want. i've written reviews that are pages long and reviews that are only 2 paragraphs. it's really about what you have to say and how many words it takes you to say it. so really the concept of a mini-review doesn't exist to me. any sufficiently detailed thoughts about a release constitutes as a review in my mind and is always welcome in the review section. if they aren't directly related to a release and are general comments about an album they can go in the artist thread or even the general forum. - Show next comments 3 more
