that would be an awesome name for a new chip band. i can picture the cover art so clearly.
i agree though, there are too many "this song was totally mind blowing man! SO. GOOD." comments on songs which i think are pedestrian at best if i'm being totally honest - either because of low collective standards, or because commenters feel they should pay forward the "good chip vibes" that they think should be characteristic of the chip scene.
I think I got a bit misunderstood, I'm saying insulting a track is bad, but praising a track that you don't really think deserves it is just as bad or worse. I was suggesting constructive criticism "this is pretty good but [x thing] could use a little work, maybe try [x thing] instead". I've noticed a lot of people here lashing noobs when they come in an post a thread topic about wanting to get started in chipmusic. And a lot of what I said wasn't directly towards cm.o but the chip community as a whole.
Maybe I've just been on the internet too long and have gone senile. That's a possibility too.
I'm just gonna quit posting now while I'm ahead (aka. Far, far behind)
