Appreciate any feedback about this new idea. This is my forum aswell as everyone that posts in here.

Away you go...

That was a terrible review. It was unorganized, and generally uninteresting. Plus you didn't even follow your own format.

[narrator]

I don't believe in rating things in numbers or stars anymore. It doesn't really help anyone because it defines nothing but a personal opinion that's almost always wrong. I think a description of the sound and why you prefer it would be a lot more help to people that are looking for new music.

I like your idea about the description of the sound of the music narrator, I will put something similar like this in my format.

[quit that]

Dammit, I want my explosions back.

I have slightly changed the format a little. Instead of 'Similar to' I have changed it to 'You might also like'. I have explained what this means. Glad to see that the format is working, appreciate your co-operation everyone. :)
