^ yes, it was me who said that we SHOULD be polite here. But sometimes I just can’t help myself - if excrement is flung at me, I fling it right back

Anyways, thanks for the feedback!

I could write some blurbs, but do you accept those with less than a B rating? Most of the reviews and blurbs on your site are A or B. Over-rated imo.

And I'm not a wordsmith like your current reviewers.

But neo-prog refers to a specific subgenre and sound. Smile

^ yes, that’s why it might make sense to have “neo-prog” as a genre tag. Which btw is a bad fit for Subsignal imho. They don’t really fit in that niche.

It is a genre tag. 
Subsignal is not neo-prog, I agree and said it several times. People either don't know the band or don't care about the correct genre tag for the band.

You’re welcome to blurb anything, it doesn’t need to be positive - but it should be your honest opinion. There is no filter that only picks favorable ratings. I think that people generally tend to put in the effort to write or even rate/tag something preferably for stuff they like, that’s why favorable feedback will usually be overrepresented.

The website does not load for me.
I use they/them pronouns (feel free to ask me about this!)

Check out my music on my bandcamp!
