What genre is this?
« on: February 23, 2016, 04:29:41 »

I thought it's acid trance, but this has a peculiar BPM: http://modarchive.org/module.php?145817

Definitely not trance, but acid...something. "Acid" alone will do. 8) There's probably also a bit of trip-hop hidden in there.

Ah, thanks. =)

Off-topic: I wonder whether my reviewing is bound to produce results that are not as objective, since I'm not a tracker, and never was. A just and fair review is probably posted by someone who understands all the complexities that go into tracking: effects, technique, mastery of the software, etc. One part of the equation is quality of composition; the other one is technique. I'm only addressing the former part.
My question is, should I abstain from reviewing for this reason?

Well, we expect all section of the review to be filled in properly, which is one reason why many reviews are actually rejected. If all people do is repeating "this song rules!" in all the review sections then they should rather post a regular comment. I will definitely not say that you shouldn't try to write a review, if you think you can rate the different sections of the review somewhat objectively. For everything else, I'd recommend everyone to write a regular comment instead.

Thank you. I was starting to feel guilty and couldn't pinpoint why, until I pondered. I'm glad I asked, as I respect the tracking community too much.

By Comments, do you mean the "30 chart points" one? That is how I've been doing it. I've never used the "500 chart points" Review.

Yes exactly. Comments are free for anyone and you're free to write / structure them how you want (as long as it's not rude ;D). Reviews are more on the technical side of things.
