This is the best review ever written by man.

This was written by a guy with a Journalism degree?? It’s an interesting article but the point of a music review is to talk about the music and highlight the good and bad and tell people if it is worth checking out. What are some of the songs I should check out? What bands do they sound like? What instruments are they playing? Who cares about the audience?

To Mike, a gentle suggestion to drive out to Church Street and check out the Attucks and the area. It’s hardly an unappealing neighborhood. There’s parking behind the theater and on perfectly safe streets nearby. Your comments echo others I’ve heard from people who don’t attend the series and I think they reflect what was, not what is.

The Discovery Series, which I’ve attended since the beginning (although I wasn’t at this show), is a gem. Check it out.

Wonderful review. I personally love reviews without song titles and enjoy your focus on the audience. Job well done.

I am having trouble taking the reviewer seriously considering that this is his first time attending the Discovery Series (which has been a rousing success, by the way) and here it is in its 8th season. This guy needs to get plugged into what’s going on around here. His review concentrates too much on the audience as opposed to the music…this was supposed to be a concert review right? I don’t go to a concert to experience the audience.

I can’t remember the last time i read a music review that sucked this hard. Look at all the cheep thrills and housing going on here. Did this guy even really go to the show in the first place or just scalp the tix for profit?

I’ve got to make it to a show at the Attucks. I’ve lived here my whole life and have never been, I just wish the surrounding area was more appealing. Norfolk city government destroyed the urban fabric of the city with wide spread public housing projects.

I can’t remember the last time I read a concert review that didn’t mention the name of at least one song that was played. Then again, I can’t remember a concert review written by someone with such contempt for fellow music lovers.
