NME Analysis


Looking at NME’s live review, it’s clear from the start whether or not the review will be positive or negative from the very first sentence. In the first two lines we see the Arctic Monkeys are described as “Striving to distance themselves from other people’s perceptions”; as a common and recurring band on NME, Arctic Monkeys can do little wrong, so it is to be expected.

Within the whole review there seems to be an overabundance of adjectives and adverbs, this can sometimes be overwhelming, I would imagine that this is used to make the artists seem more exciting, but It can be disorienting, e.g.:  “Older songs such as ‘Florescent Adolescent’ throb and shine with the power of rejuvenation and their pulsating reworkings”.
