I don't really think about doing reviews any differently when I try to and, as Zarko says, there aren't really many more things you can put into with them than the four points you've brought up anyway. Originality isn't really part of the picture for me. If something's well-informed enough with a bit of a personal spin on things (ie what the said album means to the reviewer and why, or at least something along those lines), that's all I'll look for in an album review myself.
