That's a really aggressive, even more when you wrote, line by line:

How does the R4R thread work then? Basically, you HAVE to review ANY song that has been linked in this thread BEFORE you can post a link to what ever song you want to be reviewed

But whatever, i will keep doing what i am doing.

Reviewed this awesome piece:

Would appreciate a review on this:

Cheers!


Hello, I'm an up and comer. So I apologize if I forget to mention something else.

Anyway not to waste too much time.

This little tune here shot WAY passed what I expected when I decided to click it. I recommend this
to anyone who likes to play classic/Retro/horror games. Preferably both.

In exchange I would like to have this little SHORT ditty here reviewed.

http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/608705 Thank you. ^^

Well I was asking a question. I'm not doing this to be a smart ass. It's just when you got onto me because my review in your opinion "Needed more thought." Your criticism of my review also needed more thought. Get it..? I mean you have to set an example first is all I'm saying.

I'm just gonna be really rude and cut in on your conversation and set a decent example of how artists of this community ought to treat one anothers' work.

Here are a few general points that I usually follow:

1. Listen to the song (obviously), and I mean LISTEN, don't just cut through half the thing and then build a review based on the fraction of the material you've observed.
2. Point out minor and/or major pros and cons.
3. (Optional) give the artist some tips on how to solve the problems. While you're at it, give them the names of artists that sound similar to the song you're reviewing. It might just help them get through the mixing process a little more easily.
4. *IMPORTANT*: You can criticize stuff without being a total dick.

Writing a good or at least decent review doesn't take so long. Make an effort to help others, and they will most likely act the same towards you and to the rest of the NG music community.

Thanks for reading. Take care.

Hi, I'm not sure how to post these audio links. If you wouldn't mind, check out my latest track. I tried to mix some elements from modern electronic music and video game music.

Anyways, I gave this cool acoustic/female-vocalist song a review.

I also reviewed this relaxing electronic track here.

And lastly, I reviewed this artist's dubstep track.
