So writing about video games is very natural to me. I've been playing them since I was little. Music on the other hand, never became important to me until around junior high. I'm having a little trouble transferring my thoughts to words in describing how I feel about albums. I've been dabbling a little bit with my two latest, but I feel like I can be writing a lot better.

I'm definitely intimidated by writers that really know what they're talking about and know how to explain how they feel about the album. How do I explain songs without just being like "this song is catchy," "the beat in this one is nice,", etc.?

Thanks guys.

You could talk about just what makes the song so catchy or memorable. Are there groovy guitar solo's? Do they do something unexpected like throw some reggae or a jazzy interlude into it? Stuff like that helps give an idea about what makes the song so cool. Is the singer angry or sounds like he/she is having fun or something like that?

Just a few ideas, things I tend to look for when reading music reviews. Hope it's helpful.
