Why rely on a site ... be more independent.

You could try using RYM.

That's a great idea but right now I really don't have the time or money to start my own magazine.

One thing I really love about this site is that it lets users review metal albums. Since I listen to a wide variety of music I would also like to review non metal albums. Does anyone know a good site to do this on?

I actually like amazon.com for their reviews. Check it.

You could try sputnikmusic. I've never written for it myself but pretty much every genre gets coverage.

You do not have to do it regularly, but the possibilities with such a thing are unlimited.

Fraid there just aren't any sites comprable to this one for other genres, for info or reviews.

Pretty much all of my review writing is done for Suite101.com these days. As long as you follow certain guidelines, you can review anything. I've reviewed plenty of metal albums but I also have a few non-metal releases as well.

He could do that, but he'd have a total readership of himself and a few directs from a link in his sig here. Not the best way towards getting the facts about whatever out there.

Secret_Iceland wrote: I usually trust allmusic for metal and non metal I still read their reviews periodically though I never use them as the gold standard. Though what annoys me about them is that every other metal album from the last 10 years is rated a 3 or 3.5 out of 5 for some reason. I know it's a fairly average rating, but applying it to just about everything makes me wonder if they even listen to half the stuff that they review...

That's a great idea but right now I really don't have the time or money to start my own magazine. Just start your own blog. Free, easy and update it whenever you feel like it. That's what I've done. It's mostly cross-posted here, but now and again something non-metal comes along I just have to write about. Also, I can do best of lists and all sorts of geeky stuff. Autothrall's is a better example than mine. He's using the same blogger but with a bunch of other reviewers, and you sometimes get book reviews and film reviews on there too. I wouldn't worry about noone reading it. Mine gets read, a bit, after I've been doing it a year, and bands link to it, but mostly it means I have somewhere of my own to write these things. Well, my brother is meant to be contributing, as he's far funnier than me, but he's also very lazy.
