Thanks for your help.I think I just need to expand what I say

I was 1 star for about 300 tracks, but I didn't really have much idea what was required to begin with. Theres a fair few tips on here about how to review. I paid attention to these and also cut the artists a little slack, tried to find something positive to say about every track, not always easy. I tried to imagine that I was giving my review face to face. Keep persevering and if you hear any good ideas adapt to improve your own reviews. One tip I'd give is to take little breaks. I now do 10 tracks, have a little break and come back. Its hard to pick out specifics to mention from 30 minutes of average material and I find the reviewing suffers as a consequence. I think if they see you are giving it your best they'll up you - there does seem to me to be a human element to getting and losing stars as well as a computer one.

I am watching my accuracy very closely and hoping to get to 2 stars but i do have to have a break or end up writing the same thing i find.

Well, I finally found some tracks I liked so I could use my tips! I've gone for [Me] - strange name that!, Cima and Supernal. (oh and Snail Mail - its quirky)
There was one really, really good hip hop number, everything about it was excellent such that even a rocker like me could tell it was very good for its genre and might appeal outside of it, but the lyrics were filthy, violent, vulgar and racist. I was genuinely disappointed! Whats happening to me? Am I beginning to care about music like I did when I was in the band. Spooky:eek:

I tipped two of those too. [Me] and Snail Mail - I'm having a good run of great tracks tonight. Also tipped Puck.

Oh! Puck are there are they? they were in the last one too and they were very good. Its a pity to STP forum is so dull. You learn a few interesting things from the few posters and artists on there.

I just tipped Shooter, way off anything I usually like, just something about them after visiting Myspace.

I tipped Cima too, lol

I also tipped a guy called David Green and only noticed when checking I gave 2 of his 3 tracks an 8 (not come across the 3rd one yet)

Its a shame the stp forum is full of posters that generally get on the defensive if you challenge there views etc Its really very silly
