Submit an Album Review to CLUAS for Publication

Everyone is invited to contribute to the site. No exceptions.

This is the page from which album reviews can (and must) be submitted. If you want to submit a gig review you're in the wrong place, instead go and visit the dedicated gig review submission page.


Submission form for Album Reviews

  • If this is your first time to submit something to CLUAS.com you must read this page first of all.

  • Be sure that your article adheres to the CLUAS writing guidelines before submitting it.

  • Please note that all fields below are obligatory.

Your name:

Your e-mail:                
(Our Privacy Policy: CLUAS will not disclose your e-mail address to any other person or organisation)

Name of artist whose album you have reviewed:                 

Title of album you have reviewed:

A 75-100 word synopsis of your album review (this is for the 'Review snapshot' CLUAS now publishes with each album review and it is obligatory!). It should give the reader a quick idea of your qualitative opinion of the album. It should not just say something like "An album of gentle songs from Act XYZ with a few rocked up numbers seemingly influenced by Haircut 100":
 

Your main review text (guideline length is approx 500 words, but we are flexible...):
 

Your rating of the album on a scale of 0 ('stomach churning') to 10 ('work of unprecedented genius'). Half scores are allowed. A score of 7.5 or higher should only be used for albums of considerable quality:
 

Any other info you think relevant (e.g. record label, upcoming tour by artist, website, etc):
 

Final Check List: In order to maximise the quality of article you submit (and also to reduce the need for radical intervention by the sub editor!) we kindly ask you to reflect upon the following 4 questions, and then to quickly indicate your answers.
Are you 100% confident that the submitted article will engage the interest of a CLUAS.com reader enough that they will want to read your review all the way through?   Yes No
Have you proof-read the entire article and checked for clarity of expression, structure and consistency? Yes   No
Have you performed a spell check on the submitted article? Yes   No
Is your numerical rating of the album consistent with the comments in the main review text?   Yes   No
If you find that you have answered 'No' to any of the questions above please spend a bit more time polishing your album review until you can confidently answer 'Yes' to all the questions. Then submit it to us at your heart's content.

Absolutely Final Note: As CLUAS is a community-driven, non-profit making website you will receive absolutely NO payment if your article is published on www.CLUAS.com. By pressing the button below you agree to this arrangement.


(press this button once only and wait until you are directed to a confirmation page)
