Just to clarify, there is a pay scale. $15 puts your submission in line. $35 puts you in front of the line. $50 I guess means you're next? Its just lised as the "very front". So I guess if you're only willing to shell out $15, you better hope no one has paid 50 or 35.

I can understand that this also benefits from just an onslaught of any old garbage to get reviewed, because I have no doubt that if submissions were free it would be hours of Glenn just skipping through all of the garbage.

I don't think it's necessarily wrong I suppose, everyone has to make a living and you have to police content that gets shoved in your face somehow, but I can't say I'm a huge fan of this set up. Not that I have a better suggestion, though, and I absolutely would hope for a better system than this.

That being said, if I were in a metal band then I would probably throw money his way to see what he said. His channel has a lot of great information that I've used over the years.

Go figure, I put the stream on as I'm typing this comment, and he read a comment where someone said they'd love to have their music reviewed but they don't have any money and in typically Glenn fashion he responded with "then get a job you cheap fuck!". Which I guess really is kind of how it goes. For a band who is serious about getting input, $50 really isn't that much. Most bands lose more money than that on many gigs early on anyway, that's just the nature of the industry. It isn't necessarily fair - but again, I sure don't have a better solution. There's only so much time for people to listen to and review all of the new music being made.
