    "This is sooooo cheesy! The lil mouse on phonejacker would be having a field day! It is technically sound and the vocals are fine, I just can't handle that much rhyming in one song, especially when you can guess the lyrics before you even hear them. Sorry, it is technically fine. Although I don't really get what that repetitive beat is in the background, like a quiet raspberry being blown on repeat, it's quite distracting. I can imagine this live in some American local pub, in a film. "

    :rotfl: I had that one!! I made some sarky comment about being hit over the head with a rhyming dictionary.
  • I'm doing 11 songs every hour at work lol
    At least thats the plan getting a bit bored of it now mind you :rolleyes:
  • I find analogies work well, (e.g This song meanders like a river through a forest that never stops, you continually flow along it, wondering where you'll end up, but never finishing up anywhere) or comparrisons to other bands help as well - the old Music Maths (this Band + that Person = this other band) can work well too, esp if you're running out of ways of saying the same thing when you hear yet another average acoustic song!

    This is the response i got from stp earlier regaurding my lack of stars and reveiwed 784 track to be exact.....

    'All Scouts Ratings are individually calculated by very complex algorithms in our system that use not only your quantity of reviews but also the content, length and overall accuracy of your ratings (against every other Scout that has rated that track) to determine what Rating you should be. In your case, although you have done 700 plus reviews, when you first begun Scouting you were actually leaving extremely short comments. Thus, not actually counting towards your total...so only 85% of your comments have been deemed to be of a reasonable length.
    As long as you continue to Scout as you are, leaving good, lengthy comments with ratings that reflect your reviews your Star rating is bound to increase.'

    What a great start to the night! Just keep writing.......:mad:
