Re: Better use lube (In the Tank reviews)

Sven Mullet: Like the half step drop in the melody guitar work good sometimes seems something occasionally falls out of the pocket. Good over all. Tonetripper: Okay!! if you insist I’ll give it to you! Hospital grade vocal in the chorus, distortion on the vocal track hides a multitude of sins but g...

What's schturm? "Sturm und Drang (the conventional translation is "Storm and Stress"; a more literal translation, however, might be storm and urge, storm and longing, or storm and impulse) is the name of a movement in German literature and music taking place from the late 1760s throu...

Good! They set an inebriated mood that gave the lyric a lovely slosh.

Andre was here at midnight – Pocket is a tad loose. There’s a fine line between deconstruction and destruction. Not sure which side of the line this song is on, actually I am. Drew Piston – I’m not sure why the vocoder. From what I can surmise through all the vocode the vocal was good enough to sta...

But seriously? Creating a band for the sake of a song is a Songfight tradition! I don't know much about Songfight but I know what I like:) But Seriously, I can be more insightful about a songwriter as I get to know his or her body of work. It's just harder to be helpful in a more substantive way wh...

And praising Pumpkin Buzzard for not using the title? Hmm. Some reviewers complain if you use the title, some if you don't, and some don't even evaluate your song compared to the other songs in the fight but to their expectations of what you can do. ;) There's just no predicting how they're going t...

Technical Difficulties: Well done, great track, clean, silly-sinister with intelligence. I’m getting a Golden Compass message here could I be mistaken? Ecclesiastical exasperation? If so even better.

Still, I've had enough carrot sticks shoved down my throat. All anyone tries to give you is another friggin' carrot stick. To me, a surrealist song about a woman's increasingly outlandish acts with the only explanation being "to be difficult" is more compelling then yet another song about...

TV's Kyle : I wonder if the lyric stayed in reality if it couldn’t have been more effective. Some times the rhymes try a little too hard. But that said I like this it’s fun And well put together… “Just to tune the difficulty.” ??? If my lyric stayed in reality, I'd be bored out of my skull. I would...

Boys Boys.. Actually NHT, whether a good songwriter or bad had an interesting point of discussion. His method of songwriting is pretty much what Paul Simon does and it does make for some fresh and interesting, quite often delicious abstract lyrics. However, many great songs have been written to exis...

Max the Cat - Nice acoustic guitar sound. The bass is farty though. I don't like it. Vocals sounds really good. I am impressed that this is a dense mix, but everything fits together really well. How did you do it? Is this all midi?

All Midi except the guitars, bass may be over compressed

Ned Plimpton Orchestra I think the track is trying a little too hard. Somehow the rhythm doesn’t really swing like it could. I think things need to be simplified a bit. Obviously there is skill here but it feels somewhat self-conscious. I don’t mean it can’t be sophisticated just a few less n...
