Are ordinary members able to participate in reviewing brand-new material or is it for existing reviewers and collaborators only? I'd welcome the chance to review something without a pre-concieved notion of what it is, or should be.

So i read all the threads and still confused - can someone explain this thread again ....
 
 
Is it for just reviewing newcomers who promote their Cds and will post out free CDs for purpose of reviewing... is there a list of such artists as i know not every artist will do this just for a review...
 
I was able to do reviews from CDs sent out by Yak, for example.
Also got CDs from Dean Watson to review....
 
The reviews are posated in the PA - so is this a second place to post them?

That's my main question as well, Jim.  I have no problem with artists submitting their material for review if they're not on the site, but I only write reviews here on PA, so I think that the bands who aren't on the site should also suggest themselves for addition so that people can review them here.

But how do you rate an album by an artist without an artist page?

Don't they have to be evaluated and added by a genre team before they can have an artist page?

This is a really great idea! I've gotten one album for review, and I think that this feature will create a lot of exposure to unknown bands through reviews.

It benefits the reviewers (such as myself) because we get free albums, and it benefits the artist because they can be noticed in the community. It sounds like a mutual relationship to me!

Why don't we allow "all-comers", judge them on their worth as to whether they are worthy of inclusion, and then make an appropriate decision? 

I think that restricting this to PA artists only might be seen as putting new artists off.

Is it grammatical or spelling error ? :-) Anyway, I think that so far it works great. I've made a deal with Misan. and somehow reunited with both guitarist and music from Days Before Yesterday and this made me quite happy.
There's a point where "avant-garde" and "experimental" becomes "terrible" and "pointless,"

Max, you might want to fix the grammatical error in the section title.

LOL I'm a total nitpicker but you should capitalize all of the first letters in each word (IE: Official "Review Our Music" Board)

This forums will be used by artists rep. to post their offers

ex: 

  • Download our album here
  • Send  us your postal address and we will ship a promo CD to you
Reviews will be posted as normal reviews on PA.

It's just a easy way to connect artists-rep to PA-members/reviewers.

Excellent! Clap

We all members always keep an eye on novel or unknown artists ... M@X gives a good strategy for them and us I'm sure. Big smile

^Good idea Torodd, but I want to make this section review focus, ok ! Maybe later, we will open something interview-focus.

Something catchy like a forum named : INTERVIEW ME 

Cool
