I can't say that tinkle me pink's debut album is unique compared to so many other albums being debuted in 2008, but they do capture the essence of punk-influenced music in the late 90's, early 2000's (midtown in particular). What happened to their bassist is sad but I wouldn't compare it to the passing of Casey Calvert, his death was accidental where as the other knew the consequences of his heroin addiction.
If I could, I'd give you some tips on writing a great review, not that I'm saying yours is bad because you mentioned a lot of things like the death of the bassist and stuff. just don't talk about EVERY song, just your favorites or ones that stood out to you. a review should be a summary of the album while pointing the pros and cons that may influence a persons decision to buy and listen to the album.
Your review was perfect.
