75 or Less album reviews

75 or Less album reviews has a philosophy born out of frustration:

The idea was born during our daily music chats, while discussing reviews we'd read. There was only one thing we consistently agreed on: they were too long. It seemed the point of how the music sounded and whether or not it was good was lost in an overlong mess of lyric quotes, personal accounts and a seemingly desperate attempt to fulfill a word count.

Eventually someone said, "It's gotten to the point where if you can't say it in 75 words or less, you should shut the fuck up". Within a week, 75orless.com was born. The best part about our limit is its reversal of typical music reviews. We limit the amount of words we use, and are not required to reach a number.
