There&#8217;s a big difference between writing about an album as a whole,  trying to grade it as such and mapping out the songs and visually seeing what makes up the sum.</p> <p>Traditional reviews can call out songs for their pluses or minuses, but at the end they&#8217;re trying to justify each song, as well as the overall experience that the group of songs just ushered in.</p> <p>Aside from everything else, the coolest aspect to visually seeing an album graphed out is realizing that you actually didn&#8217;t like most of the songs, even though the album as a whole left a positive impression, or the reverse of that as well. It&#8217;s amazing how humans will forget the bad, or good, and focus on the part that affected them most. I bet all your favorite movies have a good ending, right?</p>http://graphingmusic.tumblr.com/post/18906496441http://graphingmusic.tumblr.com/post/18906496441Wed, 07 Mar 2012 12:36:31 -0500moviesmusicreviewsgraphing musicspinpitchforkAV Club<p>What do you think of the new graph style?
