honest answer... I want to get reviews so I do it as well. Sometimes I really enjoy reviewing ( when the song is really good or really bad ), but lately Im in a slump, think I burnt myself out on it.
I think its foolish to always think I could have something to say that would help the artist, but Im learning... and I know that many of the reviews I have gotten have taught me very much. Hopefully every now and then I say something that will help someone else too.

I write reviews to get something back. Simple as that, and I always said I did BTW.
Someone should make fun out of you. Why don't you do it yourself? |

I review because I like it I think that may be useful. I don't expect anything back, actually when I review it's my payback to the community because I always get at least one for each new song.

I review over at the sounding board because I like to think that it's a great way of leaving a musical legacy.
Personally, I can write and write and write but I'm not sure that it's going to better as many lives as possible. If I pass along some grain of musical wisdom to another person who takes their craft seriously, well... then I've increased my chances of helping the musical world. |

I miss an alternative like "I review because it's fun". I would never review if I didn't enjoyed it. But sure, I get more motivated to do it on a song I really like, or when I feel like I have something useful to say about a song - in order to help the artist to improve.
Interesting topic however. I actually get the feeling from most artists that they doesn't really care about other songs, only their own. So "if I review his songs, he will review mine"... I wouldn't wanna get a review from someone that feel obligated to review my songs. If that is the attitude around here, then I indirect forces the artists, that I've reviewed, to review my songs - unintentionally.
Still I think that attitude is not only negative, it feels pretty fair somehow. So yes, I think maybe a bit that is the reason why I review but no way the main reason. |

But what about it makes it fun? Why is it fun to tell someone what you think about their music? |

It's nice to review other artists music,and i find this can be very relaxing as you try to understand the meaning behind the tune .
i dont review to get a review yes it's nice when you do get a review be this good or bad,other peoples point of view does count and it's always nice to get and to give feedback,
peter,
behold the dream that lights up your soul,held in your imagination at lifes very goal,the sadness of a melody that can melt your heartbeat in to to sit and to think what is this life to you .... |

Maybe "fun" is a wierd word to choose. Like Bt_Me said, it's relaxing and interesting to try to understand other songs, I think it is anyway. In another way I just find it satisfying to just state an opinion about something. And I like to write, did I mention that? Well now you know. But just review in order to be accepted around here is wrong motivation imo, if I wouldn't enjoy reviewing I simply wouldn't do it and I would probably not be here in the first place... Why force myself to do things I actually don't like? |
