Analysis of music articles

Today in class we an analysed the language and language techniques used in several different articles from different music artists. We looked at a range of different artists so we could get a idea of the style and way in which different artists and genres use language. The article I looked at was called ''The tree of arrogance'' and was about a rock band called Chapel Club.  Firstly, opinions are used throughout the article. The effect of using opinions from the artist is that they bring us closer to the artist as it allows us to gain a deeper insight into their views, thoughts and feelings and we learn more about their personality which is good as the reader doesn't want to read a whole page on what a journalist/ interviewers perspective is we would like to know more about the band and their thoughts.

Secondly, adjectives appear very frequently in the article- this description allows us to know more about the action that is going on within the group and makes the article more exciting ''smoking shit loads of weed'' and ''I'd had the worse night throwing up'' This gives us more information about what the artist is doing.
 Another technique used in the article is metaphors, this gives a bit of depth to the piece and allows it to be more creative and imaginitive rather then just a load of boring words ''A forest of insecurities'' '' Arrogrance and self assurane thats the one that bears the finest fruit'' This makes the article more entertaining to read it and also shows us a little more about the artist as it shows what type of personality they have. For example we can learn that the lead singer is a bit cocky and arrogent therefore meaning he wants sucsess and believes in himself.
