Washpost.com: Music Reviews

Decided to check out Wash Post's music reviews this week- I'm not actually that impressed. Though they're of course, well written, with great photographs, there doesn't seem to be much ingenuity in the layout of anything I see- no real usage of internet abilities.

I mean, maybe I'm looking in the wrong place, but everything just looks the same.

A review on Sugarland on Sept. 23- article and a photo. Lots of links within the article to artist's names. I do like that by clicking on say "Beyonce," you can go look at a complete list of articles on Beyonce Knowles on washingtonpost.com, on the web, and blogs, video and audio on her. That is a very nice touch.

A piece on Alanis Morrissette from Sept. 24 didn't even have a photo from the concert. So blah.

A concert review of Randy Newman on Sept. 26 had no picture and nothing interesting about it. I mean, come on! This is Randy Newman! You could do so much on him! A photo gallery, timeline, stuff about him from over the years....It just feels that there's no effort in this.

Like- am I looking the wrong place? I can see that these articles are all from the print edition as well- but shouldn't there be some more innovation then this? I'm disappointed.
