Three Ways to guarantee I will NOT to review your album.

Three Ways to guarantee I will NOT to review your album.

I'm all about digital delivery of albums. It saves the labels money. It saves publicists money. It saves bands money. But if you're sending me an album digitally in hopes of me writing about the disc or previewing an upcoming show, do NOT:
  • Encode it at 128 kbps or less.
  • Only offer to me as a stream.
  • Have a robotic voice repeat the name of the album, or my name, every 20 seconds over every song.
Thanks. And yes, I am unusually grumpy this morning ... but the rules above still stand.
