Many members spend time writing and posting reviews, but they quickly fall out from the home page and are easily doomed to oblivion. However PA has the "random review" function allowing us to see long-forgotten reviews randomly. Of course with so many reviews, getting any particular one is less likely than winning a lottery but, do you ever use it?

I had no idea of this feature, which was very probably introduced during my four-year hiatus. Thank you for directing my attention to itSmile! I will make a point to check it out as often as possible.

I've done it a couple of times, getting either a review from the Top 10 or some random 1* review in gibberish.

Hey, that was my idea 5 years ago or so. I put a script on my web site to fake it, because M@X had no time to implement it. I forgot about it, but I guess he didn't...

Hi,
 
Honestly, I don't.
 
Because I am a writer, I do not spend time comparing myself to others, and while I DO read a lot, reviews of books, music and what not is not something I tend to check out. My whole life, the "art" has always come to me in one way or another and it has rarely been via someone else's idea or opinion.
 
I tend to enjoy biographies and such, as if they were a "clue" to the inner self for me.

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

none of the hits, none of the time ... you might actually find your own art, or self, instead of paying for a guru or church or social program! or biography
