Can we know which review of their won? ConfusedWink

Hi. It seems like I have won something here. Would you be kind enough to PM or email me with the logon details for that download ?

I am delighted to win something........... but I would very much like to point out that I am a winner everytime I fall in love with a progressive rock album. Either that album was released in 1967 or this year. 

Please PM me.

Good to see  this contest (or lottery, if you will) up and running!

I like the idea of reviews being judged by their content, but it seems a fairly subjective thing.  My favorite reviews that I've read here are usually the ones that make me laugh.  In the strict sense, they are not really always helpful to me in describing the music and the album itself, but I find purely analytical reviews to be dull and not worth reading.  Of course, that's just me.  I could easily see that 50 words is not enough to make a decent review.  As to other people rating our reviews..........I'm not sure that is a great idea either.  I've read some really good 1 star reviews, but I fear that fans of the artist in question may not appreciate them and therefore give the writer many negative votes (a certain prog metal band, who shall remain nameless, comes to mind here).

No, I think the raffle idea is the best one, since it gives everyone an equal chance without relying on subjective criteria.  Still, I do hope people try to write decent reviews and not just go for quantity.  I know I won't do that.

I'm thinking that 'hat' wasn't quite the right choice of words here, wouldn't 'bag' have been a better descriptor of the alleged raffle container?

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

How would you  be able to do any sort of review if you were indeed dead whether it be good or bad? I write my reviews by memory. I wrote a Strawbs review this afternoon with  Twisted Sister blasting. I don't know what I'll write now. Whatever I pick out of my collection at random. Yes it will be a random review I think.
