I like to see chart notes, though.

I find this a problem too. I don't want to give criticism. It takes a lot of effort to think up something.

I want long in-depth comments on my charts, I get excited everytime I get a comment, always comment....I'm not good at giving them but I try to comment on most of the charts I rate...

Small comments are fine. I make sure that my comments are encouraging in one way or another - it is after all the music that the chart owner likes. Usually I take a rather detailed look of the chart. If I find any of my favorite albums, I make a note of that in the comment.

I guess it depends on how lazy I'm feeling. I like to put more than just "great chart" & I do think that it's a real cop out when I do but sometimes it's all that I can muster. Maybe I should just leave well alone unless I have something really meaningful to say.

Anyway, "good thread"!

Chart comments are pretty good for giving/receiving recs I guess. Honestly I hardly ever comment on charts, although I do massively appreciate it when I receive them. Criticisms included.

It's hard enough to rate and comment on albums. I have no idea how to rate and comment on charts. It may be best to stick to platitudes - after all, we don't typically know what any given person sets out to achieve with his or her chart.

You change your chart so frequently that any comments I could leave would probably be outdated in a week.

I find it next to impossible to rate a chart. Usually, if i'm commenting on a chart, I'll just leave recs based on the person's tastes or say something about some excellent, unique choices

I hate leaving small comments in a chart, it just makes me another guy who wrote "Great chart" in it. I'm not saying I'll write a bible about the chart, but usually I'll make a reference to an album I find great; if there is any music I dont know, but seems interesting, I'll thank them, or ask them why do they think is cool.. I dont know... I always try to make comments different.

And always live constructive comments. Even if I "hate" the chart or barely know the albums in it, I simply write about the positive stuff I saw on the album. Nobody has a shitty chart... my high rating goes for the ones who seem original or special.

How do you go about this?

For me I find it really hard to say anything. I've had my chart up and down so many times and when I put it back up I must admit I like to have people pop by. I do like to have a little recognition. To do this I go around giving "feedback" on other charts as well as rating. However I feel a bit silly when I find myself repeating things like "Great chart" or anything of such. I could list the albums I like or use different adjectives yet I feel I should put more.

Sometimes I do invest a lot of time into a comment and I find to do so I have to speak about 1-2 albums on the chart in depth. I have to really put someone on the spot and I worry I comes across as a little confrontational when the 4 previous users wrote things like "Excellent chart here" or "wonderful picks on this one".

In the end I find it easier to write small things. 😕

So yeah, let's talk all about leaving comments on other people's charts in a seperate thread from chart talk. I want to know how you talk about the music.

Small things might be the best if it's to say something nice, but if the comment shows that the author doesn't like the chart it should be a long comment. Like RockyRaccoon I mention records I love when they're high or I make a general comment.

I liked what you wrote on mine recently, I answered you via private message so we could have a discussion about it ...

Typically I'll mention specific albums that I like seeing on a person's chart, or something I may somewhat disagree with. For example, I see someone has a fairly obscure album that I love really high I'll mention that, or if someone has an album that seems way out of left field, I might mention that.
