Replying to your answer

Yes it is different than other peoples opinions around here. There are certain members who have something other than their opinions to offer. It's called experience. Not to mention a good set of ears. We all know who these people are because of their participation at this site. None of these folks would come in here and say they will review the first 5 songs, like they don't have the time to be bothered and are offering us some kind of service.
Maybe the proper thing to do would be hang around for awhile. Listen to some tunes, maybe post some of your own (if you have any) and get to know us. That's usually, "How it's dun round here".
Fair enough, you have a good point there.
I agree that there are many others out there with a lot more experience than me, and I've got a lot of respect them.
What I could wish for was maybe to be treated otherwise than with comments like "who the hell are you", and so on. I think everyone is entiteled to their opinion here in this forum, newbie or not. And I think that a post from a newbie(me) with the title "I'll review your song" is not to trample on anyones feelings. I have not made the impression that I'm the master of recordings, or in anyway saying my opinions are worth more than others.
Remember, this thread is, as I see it, mainly for sharing views on each others music, not talking about who has the right to speak and when. If the users here don't want my opinion, that's fine by me, but those who want, feel free to drop me a line.
As for your last comment about hanging around, I will. I respect your views in this matter, and I hope you respect mine.
Looking forward to discussions on music and music production in the time to come.
And since you asked, here is a little bit about myself:
I'm 33, male. From Norway (live in Denmark).
I play different kinds of instruments, but guitars are my main, and drums are my weakest.
Been playing since I was 15, also in different bands at amateur level.
Right now I only make music here at home.
I listen to a lot of different music, but my favorite bands and artists are: XTC, the Smiths, Tom Waits, Jeff Buckley, Joni Mitchell, Pixies and Eat.
