Re: I'm having a yard sale (Everything Must Go reviews)
Berkeley Social Scene : Really liked the rhythm and riff at the start of the verse, would have liked a bit more of that. Hostess Mostess : Beautiful vocal tone, love the hook in the chorus (I don't believe). The eerie scratch effects I thought were a mistake at first but work well with the guitar s...

Re: Colorful, shiny, terrifying (Rainbows and Robots reviews)
Balleando Gaiundos : Too joyful not to like. Like the shift in tempo, the guitars are spot on, and the baroque-pop keyboard is love. Could be a Sabaton backing track - has this fallen through a time-warp from their album about the great robot uprising of 2024? Berkeley Social Scene : I like the dou...

Re: Slap on this ankle monitor (House Arrest prefight)
So, House Arrest ... I thought I'd turn the phrase inside out and imagine that it was actually the house being arrested for crimes against its occupants. So I've written about the dark side of renting, unscrupulous landlords, and the economic inequalities that meant that money gets taken from one pe...

Re: You can only avoid (Potential Consequences reviews)
Brother Baker: Iconic ska sound. It loses the ska beat when you slow it down for the break, but because of the instrumentation it still fits with the rest. Nice lyrics. Brown Word and the Big Whine: Like the penultimate chord in the chorus. Hints of "Love me do" on Harmonica. Nice tones al...

Re: From Grey to Gandalf (The White Morph reviews)
Yeah, what do I know. But I do like metal so the optional challenge was good fun. Brother Baker: Starts with a really strong opening riff - I love the whole intro. I'm a purist when it comes to metal and prefer it without keyboard, but that's just a taste thing. Range of vocal styles might have been...

tomdg feat rox. My take on iconic instrumentation. Plus, I'm going all authentic and giving it full nerdcore.

Re: Aarararrrargh! (Screaming Into the Void reviews)
Tomdg – How do you say Tomdg? The long chains of lyrics are pretty interesting. The lyrics themselves could do, I think, with more specificity. Almost every noun in there is abstract: dream, news, soul, nightmare, fears, terror, heart, pain, disbelief, hate, prejudice, lust, power, curse, state, po...

I thought the title sounded like "The Same Deep Water As You", which I now appreciate even more.

Re: If we make it (Better Luck Next Year reviews)
Tomdg : bold choice to make your live song so bass-riff heavy! It's a good riff though and makes this stand out from the guitar-heavy songs. Interesting lyrics for the most part although the over-emphasis of "obviously" towards the start struck me as odd. I really like the way the title l...

Re: Not much to do but (Sitting In The Life Boat reviews)
Tomdg—This reminds me of early Midnight Oil (I really like Midnight Oil), which is probably not a comment you expected to get. Funnily enough, I thought of them this week (BLNY). Not so much the sound, but something they said about how the fight to restore the land stolen from original Australians ...

Well ... I've uploaded a fight for this week, a video I had done previously of another songfight song, a new version of an old songfight song of mine, and a cover of my favourite songfight song ever. Well ... the latter two are uploading now, if they fail you won't see them ... Hopefully you've got ...

Re: Let's just hope for (Better Luck Next Year prefight)
Live video incoming, full of one-take goodness (oxymoron?) Slightly different backing for a bit of variety. If I'm going to submit it for the "dead" fight as well then I'll add some more stuff, maybe play around with it a bit. And yes, 2016 wasn't the best.

Be reassured on that one, 100% and thankyou.
