To all those that use slice the pie

This came from the forum on STP - a list of what to comment on. I thought it wasa quite useful so thanks to "bawp"

- Structure
- Melody
- Vocals and Lyrics
- Ways it can be improved
- Inventiveness and originality
- How it makes you feel
- Was it enjoyable?
- Did it stand out?
- Tightness of the performance
- Musicality of the arrangement
- What worked and what didn't
- What would make you buy this track
- Listener's demographic

Well done lililou i was about to do the same but you beat me too it
I'm actually just going to clear out my watchlist because i have a fair few pages on there so will remove some of the tracks that dont seem so appealing anymore

lililou will try the skip button once i start scouting again

woo hoo! hit 1000 reviews just now and hey presto 4 stars!! ooh going to make reviewing so much easier now! lol.

i was using that watchlist trick for a while after finding it by accident, through i think stp may be starting to cotton on, it's worked fine today but last night when i clicked on the last track i had added to my watchlist the player box just came up with watchlist track, there are no tracks to play. grr, if they are taking that away they need to introduce "my ears can't handle this" option or something!

Can I just add that list was constructed from other people's input, rather than created by me.

well done eshkie i must say that 15p per track is really much easier

The bawp i knew you were on mse :-)
that was a very good post to put up you know i would never have thought of it

eshkie your not pink bubbles on stp are you ?
someone with that name has just popped up on uk top ten scouts

eshkie

ooh i am indeed (it wouldn't accept eshkie for some reason!!)
top 10 now? woo *does a little dance* there's no stopping me now!!

and 15p a track makes it a huge amount easier, even to stomach the rapping which i have had loads of this morning!

Well I've been a lurker for a long time at MSE, more for money saving deals than money making though! Your STP challenge was what prompted me to try the site, and I'm so glad I did! Not only is it a great way to find new music, I get to make a bit of money in the side that's good for paying for bits and bobs (so far my STP money has paid for some burnable dvds and replacement toothbrush heads!).

I think it's really important to write decent reviews though, because at the end of the day those tracks are the product of some very talented, creative people (there are odd exceptions of course!), and they deserve a bit of thought when commenting on tracks.

I'd also like to get to 4 stars too, so I can't say I don't have an ulterior motive when asking people how I can improve my reviews!

Oh cool - I wondered if you were on MSE too. Thanks for starting that thread that enabled the list to be put together.

Eskie that is amazing - top 10 - 1000 reviews - only another 800 and something to go for me then! Aarrghhh....
