I'm with Bill when it comes to critiques...a board that is specifically meant to critique songs should include pros and cons, strengths and weaknesses. If my song sucks, I NEED people to say it sucks...ideally in a respectful way. I don't want an inbox full of pain and darkness, with all the love on the surface.  It's very difficult to tell someone what you DON'T like...it takes courage and it takes tact. I sure hope we don't turn this board into a softsoap exercise of post, praise, post, praise. I love compliments as much as anyone, but I learn more from the stuff people notice that doesn't work. Anyone posting a song for feedback needs to take deep breaths and develop a thick skin...and should learn how to thank the people who distress them with a negative opinion, because those people are offering a valuable gift, even if it sometimes feels like a slap in the face. Oh, and Polly---stop it!

"Do not endeavor to be the smartest kid in a dumb class. Instead, you are better off being the dumbest kid in the smartest class, where you will be challenged and you will learn. If you aren't growing, you are dying." -Brian Austin Whitney
