New shiny slice the pie thread

Am on song 1038 in this room, I thought there was only a 1000 in each room!
I think it would be nice if they had at least 2 rooms open at a time (different genres) so that you could switch when you had had enough of one type of sound. Would probably make for better reviews too.

I think STP accuracy/stars seems to be a bit of a money chasing game for too many people on there. Its a bit sad really when some people have poured their heart and soul into a song.

I hadn't noticed much heart and soul being poured in, mainly s***e and dodgy synth...;)


no, actually i heard a couple today that were excellent - 'themselves' absolutely rock and i thought Ashley Bruce has a new 'Anything I do' movie theme epic

I like Ashley Bruce's stuff too, are quite a few on here I like. It is so much better than the dance room :T

There are terrible songs, people are just messing around. I feel sorry for the ones who are obviously trying and have worked really hard but just arent going to cut it.
The there is the odd song which you think, hmmm... with a bit of tweaking a good record producer and a fancy video this might just crop into the wider world.

I think about 10% of them could make it with a little work. Have you heard the 2 little children? They are not good songs but you can't give a true review as it would crush them! Is obviously a parent that has uploaded them, heard two of them so far and gave good reviews although at present they would not make it :eek:

yay I'm so excited!!! Just got my second star!! :j :j

my average isn't brilliant (87.86 at the last look) but somehow I've jumped up to 599 in my ranking. How can that be? last time i looked at the ranking i'm sure I was about 4000 something - has everyone else left?

Hiya
you'll find it was getting the star that bumped up your rating, cos you will have automatically jumped ahead of all the 1 stars, even if they have better accuracy than you. Well done!

Wow. You people are all way in front of me. I started a few months back but there was a lot of rubbish on that day so I gave up and forgot about it lol. I might have to go again. =]

Ok so I just signed up yesterday and went to do my first review today, listened to the song and then my mind went blank, I have no idea what to say!
what kind of thing are you meant to say, I tried searching for a rough example of what to write but couldnt find anything (thats probably me being stupid though lol)
And also if you go in the scouting room and get played a song which is a genre you know nothing about (think weirdo country/folk thing..) is it ok to not review it and move onto a different song or does this go against you?
sorry for so many questions..

Hi. Ive just been looking on the forum on slice the pie and theres some good posts on what to comment on. All the text below has been taken from the forum, just thought it might help people.


Don't Talk About

- Recording Quality (It doesn't have to be great the idea is to get money to get good recordings
- Whether or not you like the genre of music
- A genre of music you know nothing about.

Do talk about

- 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

The full post can be found at http://www.slicethepie.com/Forum/Default.aspx?g=posts&t=1537 where theres more discussion on what to comment on

From the first page on this thread =]
