More often than not, the single reviews on the site tend to follow a format that includes an intro paragraph with background information, a body, comprised of 1-2 paragraphs of analysis, and a concluding paragraph that โ€˜puts a capโ€™ on things. Each track also receives a star rating, on a scale of 0 โ€“ 5 (ยฝ stars are used as well), that is visible at the beginning and ending of the review.
