Frequently asked questions
What is the Media Review Board?
The Media Review Board (MRB) is an online community where members listen to, watch and review media: music, movies, videos, personalities, products and more. Its motto is "Anything. Everything. Reviewed."
How do I get my song or video reviewed?
Drop a public link from YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud or another service into the "Drop a Link" box on the front page. No account is needed. Board Members and Candidates can then pick it from the Review Queue. Submitting does not guarantee a review.
How do I become a Board Member?
Register for free, then complete 7 reviews as a Candidate. Your 7th review earns your seat and a permanent Board Member ID. The first 400 people to earn a seat become Founding Members.
Is it free to join?
Yes. Registration is free, and anyone can drop a link without an account.
What is discovery credit?
When you drop a link and add your email, MRB records the date and time and gives you a confirmation code. If you were the first to introduce that artist or song to MRB, the record proves it. Your email stays private.
How are Board Members ranked?
Each week, Board Members are ranked on how many reviews they post and how informative those reviews are, scored automatically and by AI. Reviewing a link you dropped yourself adds extra. The top 20 are shown publicly, with arrows for who moved up or down.
How does a review work?
Reviewers listen or watch for a minimum time first, then answer 10 short questions written for that piece: star ratings, what stood out, what needs work, a follow-up about their own answers, and an overall comment. They can also mark their favorite part so others can play just that section.
Can a Board Member lose their seat?
Yes. Members who stop reviewing are warned, and if no reviews are posted in a timely fashion their seat goes to the next person to earn one. They can earn a seat again by completing new reviews.
