Re: Why go to sleep only to (Wake Up Again reviews)

The lack of reverb made it sound unnatural, which would be my only criticism for your track here. I don't tiktok so I don't know how much reverb you'd typically add but here's some more reverb (there WAS a tiny amount already) and slowed down 5% which is about the most I can do without giving the v...

Thanks for your kind review! And thanks a lot for introducing me to Mr. Hitchcock!
Please stop whatever it is you're doing (yes, even if you're driving) and go listen to the album I Often Dream of Trains. I think it would enrich your life and up your game.

Re: Why go to sleep only to (Wake Up Again reviews)

REVIEWS PART TWO (of two). Hoblit Rise!! I like the overall sounds. Coffee / Shake it offa me is a great line. I mean, obviously you're a consummate professional. I guess if I wanted to pick nits, I don't like the ping-poing vocal delay on the vocals. The delay on the guitar works really well, but ...

Re: Why go to sleep only to (Wake Up Again reviews)

REVIEWS PART ONE (of two). Add I'm a sucker for an organ, ya. I like the harmonies that come in at 0:40ish. I like the repetitions of the wake up, wake up, wake up... it kinda throws you off and makes you listen. I have sampled many old sources, and in retrospect, they generally just fill time. In ...

Re: No key to the handcuffs so (I Won't Let You Go reviews)

Thanks to everyone for the reviews. I'm heading out of town but might be able to listen to the fight in the car and do some phone reviews. the not-rhyming and then rhyming kinda pulled me outta the mood, though. If you have the time, could you pinpoint exactly where you were expecting rhymes? I've ...

Hello, Fight Friends! Thank you all so much for participating this week -- what a fun bunch of tracks! High Vines So the vocal performance on this is fantastic. I'd love to try to like, remix this in the vein of early Strokes or something? Seriously, though. If you're interested in sharing your stem...

Re: Do you remember (The Last Good Year prefight)

Well kids, it's that time of year again, and I have to get the accordion out of its coffin for its annual stretch. Sadly, due to time constrains I was not able to do better vocals than my original guide track, and the close harmonies don't start until the last quarter of the track. Which is a shame ...

Hello. My name is Reve Mosquito, and I was in this week with a track of homemade synthesizers into a tape recorder. Normally I enter with my pal Ujn, but I knocked this together right before the deadline. Anyway, to the reviews! BSS I think you guys should rename yourselves "Zerkeley Social Sce...

Re: I took the water taxi to the (Cemetery Island prefight)

I am in, shamefully without my better half (read: Ujn). This week I went for a darkwave-esque track that will hopefully make you recall those "tribute to flexipop" bootleg CDRs if you're old. I didn't quite finish, but none of those underground darkwave tracks sounded quite finished, did t...

These are my favorite tracks. If you don't see your name here, I listened to your song, I liked it, and you're totally a winner in my book! If you really want me to criticize your track and say why I didn't pick it as a favorite... listen to my crappy track, and then rethink whether you really want...

Were I the Olympic Committee, I would give the gold to V. Vorton, with the silver going to S. Toad. I'd grant J.

Re: It hurt anyway (I Had it Coming prefight)

Kind of a shameful rush job, but I'm in ripping off Front 242 using nothing but 00-04 fight titles as lyrics. The real question is "which era"? All are acceptable, but I don't think 5:22:9:12 Off has left my regular disc rotation for more than a few months at a time since I swiped my dad'...
