How does DPRP go about reviewing albums?
The content of the CD reviews page basically depends on what bands and labels send us, as well as the private purchases of the review team. Reviews are coordinated centrally by the Chief Editor of the review page, who makes sure that the steady flow of new albums is divided evenly among the reviewers. When dividing the albums among the reviewers, the personal tastes of the individuals is taken into account. The reviewers all work according to a ‘review manual’ and ‘review policy’. A reviewer is basically free to decide what kind of review to write; one time he will opt for a track-by-track review, another time he will write a more overall conclusion.
