1st Paragraph
I decided to write a music review aimed at the music enthusiasts reading NME magazine, although I specifically aimed my text at 16-35 year olds that have a distinct interest in the Psychedelic genre. I wrote my review in order to entertain, like most magazines, but to also inform readers of the new 'Black Angels' album.
I thoroughly enjoyed the album, therefore my opinions are shown clearly throughout my review, however I added the odd negative connotation as well to emphasise the fact it was a review. My review was set out just like other reviews in NME magazine, to make it as authentic as possible. As the album came out this year, the audience I was appealing to would probably contain people considering purchasing the album. The register of my text is informal, however I chose to use some formalities as it gave me more linguistic power with my lexical and grammatical choices, as this is also the tenor that NME often use.
2nd Paragraph
My model text was a music review from NME magazine, of the new Arctic Monkeys album: AM. The audience, purpose and context were similar to my piece and they would be printed in the same magazine.
