There is nothing better than a website that not only gives you music reviews but also allows you to listen to the music. There are many great music review sites on the Internet, with MP3 downloads, forums, free videos, ringtones and reviews but the best 3 UK sites are definitely:
The UK site NME (http://www.musicmen.co.uk/news.php) not only offers the typical feature articles, latest music news and artist profiles but also has an extensive selection of reviews including Radiohead, Courtney Love and N.E.R.D. It is the variety in artists that make this a good review site. Apart from the reviews, NME also offers music charts, classifieds, forums and subscriptions to NME magazine. You can also listen to new release music as you read the reviews, watch the latest music videos, win tickets to concerts and secret gigs, buy your favorite cd’s and ringtones for your mobile phone. You can also subscribe to the emailing list, which keeps you updated with the latest music news, reviews and MP3 downloads.
Musicmen (http://www.musicmen.co.uk/news.php) is another site that not only features a message board for the public as well as site members where reviews can be posted but the option to post your own reviews on the site itself. The site is based around the people who actually listen to the music, you, rather than the people who produce and sell the music. You can personally submit articles to the site, vote on the charts and review cd’s. Another important feature of the site is the release dates section, which features all upcoming releases from many different musical genres, which is particularly helpful when looking for a release by a favorite band or artist.
While you read reviews, look at the peoples charts, submit news or shop for cd’s you can watch the latest music video releases from artists such as Anastasia, The Streets, Evanescence and Pink.
Review Center (http://www.reviewcentre.com/consumer_reviews13.html) is exactly what it promises, and is full of informed choices from the people who listen to music. The site features an enormous range of reviews under many different genres including pop, country, dance, soul, blues, indie, Goth, and jazz. There is even a section for live music.
Along with the broad range of reviews, this UK site features MP3 downloads, music videos, minidisc downloads, sheet music, ringtones and videos. You can also shop for CD’s after you read the in-depth reviews, music from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s are even featured on this informative site. Every genre, period of music, style and taste in music is represented on this site.
And if that’s not enough you can also access further reviews and information through the CD and music forum.
Another feature of this site is the free music downloads which are again sorted into the huge list of musical categories. This probably has the broadest range of information out of the three-featured UK reviews sites.
So, if you’re looking for good music review sites as well as extras like free music, MP3 downloads and videos, these are the sites for you.
