Meh I understand that you need reviews and everything but the thing is for the unearning reviewers (me and im sure others) it is hard to come up with 2 reviews a week, is well a struggle. The fact that I cannot afford to buy the albums to review them is one thing, but gigs do not often come around that I am interested to see. If you get a month where no bands that interest you are touring it puts all our reviewing down onto albums, which I cannot get. If this means that you can't take me seriously it's completely UNfair. I get that you want the site to be sucessful but I can't come up with this kind of stuff for a site that we volunteer to write for. We do it for free and dont get me wrong because I love the chance to be able to write for it because I love reviewing etc.
Also but many of us have exams coming up another reason we do not have the time to get the reviews done, you ask this of us all yet until we can see some kind of rewards coming our way then I cant be sure that you will keep up to your side of the bargain. Please dont take offense in anything Ive said because I didnt mean it to be, but just think of what a predicament it puts me in and maybe others of the feed back team.

I agree to some extent. But you can just as easily do reviews for stuff you've already got. It doesn't have to be brand spanking new. The stuff's just a bonus for me. Ima ask my mate who hath connections with Alaska Records to sort us out with some freebies. Possibly. www.alaskarecordings.com/It's emo stuff. But it's free. LIKE THEEEEEEESE!

you're not being paid - true, but you'll be getting free albums when this all works out which i regard as a payment.
lack of money - review some old albums.
exams - i have exams too, gcse's at that, i said if you had a good excuse then i'd let you off.
i know you lot are volunteering and this album idea was a way of payment to you guys whilst still helping to the site.

Don't forget free t-shirts aswell.
Exams will stand in the way a tad. This'll just be a time of non-production. But afterwards we should have the reviews flying in from all angles.

An excuse for suicide it seems for some.
Another review produced today...I'm well on my way to a gold star ;D
