Last time I wrote: Emotion in songs was important again in 2013 and will be important again this year (2014). However, it's only one factor when I compare songs. Songwriting, how the song sounds overall, if it's interesting, the singing/vocals, and all instruments/sounds/notes and chord changes, and of course melodies, riffs, hooks, and all the words or thinking (beyond words) we can use to describe good (and great) songs are important.
Here's some More about songs, including lyrics and how I compare songs: I just wanted to add on that lyrics are important but how I evaluate lyrics or words in a song, or compare them may be different than how other reviewers do it. This is something that is hard to describe and like music in songs, I'm not really held to anything specific or rules that say rock songs should sound like this and pop songs should sound like that because the "this is the way we've always done things" kind of thinking and rules are limiting, and prevent people from doing what they want to do. I'm for people making music and songs that branch out in any directions they want to go.
