regarding the observation that recently many posts have not received a lot of comments:

I think this is because posting of songs jumped dramatically after Peter awarded several free copies of BIAB to people who posted last year. Time is a factor for me. Like Rharv, I frequently look through the posts to see which ones are receiving a lot of comments because those songs are usually interesting in one way or another.

Songs that interest me enough to comment have one or more of the following traits:

1) The person who posted the song played and or sang some of the tracks personally, especially if their performance was stylish and /or well done

2) I like songs that are accompanied by the writers goal, and an explanation of how the song was developed to meet that goal.

3) the song has an interesting chord progression, arrangement, instrument combination, musical style, hook or lyrical theme that I haven't already heard a million times

4) the song is particularly well mixed or mastered

5) the person achieved some effect that I could not easily duplicate by putting the same chords to the same style and jamming along

6) critique was specifically requested


I probably won't comment on songs that don't meet at least one of the traits mentioned above.
