When I listen to a new album, I usually start by playing through all the tracks in one go to get the overall vibe. Then, I go back to my favorite songs and focus on details like sound design or effects. How do you approach reviewing an album? Are there specific aspects you pay close attention to—or do you even read reviews before forming your own opinion? I'm curious about your methods!
How do you go about rating e-albums?

I do something similar, but with a little twist: after the first listen, I immediately jot down my spontaneous thoughts – whether it's a word, a refrain, or just a feeling. That way, I don't forget later what really resonated with me.
I pay special attention to the production: mix, mastering, and how instruments or vocals are placed. In reggaeton, for example, it often comes down to the basslines and snare compression to feel that punch. I only read reviews afterward, especially when it comes to technical details – but I always form my own opinion first. After all, it's about the personal impact!
