Re: A Grand Parade

Balance Lost Stepping into an open sky From this point the path is undecided Should you choose to aim too high It's your party even if you're not invited The early echo is dying away The world doesn't wait and doesn't hear Do you sing to gain their praise An anchorite's life left to pioneer My stre...

Re: Spin Tunes 20 Round 3 Challenge - Self Improvement

the hissy chorus cymbals and the distortion on the guitar, this song already has a lot going in that frequency range. Slightly tiring on the ear. Thanks so much for the reviews! (that goes to all who have reviewed so far this spintunes too!) You're totally right about that frequency range being too...

Re: My mental health has never been better (Power Plants reviews)

Some of my own crap opinions. Mellfire Trifecta : The Green Onions groove is kinda cool and I like the wibbly effect on the guitars. The synths that come in just before the minute mark add a nice sense of atmosphere and progression to the song. Wish there was more of that. I always appreciate a left...

Re: My mental health has never been better (Power Plants reviews)

Thanks for the reviews, Mo! I have done hours of painstaking surgery to my guitars in an effort to reduce the squeakiness, and here are the results. Hope it does the trick. https://www.gocarpetburn.com/mp3/fawm23/powerplants.mp3 Re: the weird melody. Car version is definitely the right version :D bu...

Re: Nur Ein XVII: Round Six "Summer Robot"

Be happy to talk chords in this style sometime, but check out the chart for Girl from Ipanema sometime, that’s pretty much The Godfather of this, even though we only used the typical m6 once, the other things really are just versions of that for most of the verses Cool, I'll have to check that out,...

Re: Nur Ein XVII: Round Six "Summer Robot"

If one time we used steel string acoustic with constant fast chord strumming with a pick, could we use a classical guitar where I'm playing slowly w/o a pick and doing chords with fingers 2-4 and a bassline with my thumb? To my ear, those two things sound completely different, and the new song woul...

Re: Nur Ein XVII: Round Six "Summer Robot"

Different instruments like "my other guitar", or different instruments like "ukulele"? My interpretation of this challenge when we discussed it was that your other guitars were off limits if you had already used one of them. The intention is to try and get arrangements that are ...

It’s shitty to see good bands with good songs get eliminated, and jeez it must be hard to be a judge. It is! So hard.

Re: Nur Ein XVII: Round Four "June Moon"

Some reviews. Listed in order of ranking. Which means I was judge 4 (i.e. 4th from the left in the scoring table). Very tough round to judge. There's not a lot between these songs and it could have been a very different order given another day of listening. The Lowest Bitter : Really digging the gli...

Re: Nur Ein XVII: Round Three "Can't Let It Go"

When someone acts surprised that their “brutal” honesty provoked an angry response I wonder if they’re just trying to be a bully for some reason. I don't feel that BYD were angry necessarily (I may be wrong). I don't believe my comments expressed surprise at their response. I don't see how one poor...

Re: Nur Ein XVII: Round Three "Can't Let It Go"

That may be so, but I reserve the right to label something as garbage when I judge something to be garbage.

If you don't want honesty in my reviews then you can request to be omitted from them.

Re: Nur Ein XVII: Round Three "Can't Let It Go"

All due respect, but what a load of crap. I apologise for not going into more detail about what I didn't like about your song, but I didn't want to labour the point too much. I think that the idea that emotion and sensibility are detached from songwriting is nonsense. It is entirely valid to critic...

Interesting, thanks. Can't hear any guest harmonies though so I'm afraid I'm going to have to rank you last.

Had some free time this arvo, so I knocked off a quick demo of how I hoped Vom Vorton's song would go based purely on the first drum roll. Have your Vom buckets at the ready!

Still waiting on scores from a few judges so I'll post these reviews to keep you going until we've triangulated the data. I found this one interesting in that the challenge didn't specify that the guest had to be on backing vocals and yet that what so many of you did, leading to barely audible guest...

Well bugger - I just re-read my lyrics and looked at the whole song (instead of just looking at a single verse at a time) and I realised that the first two lines of each verse repeat the same last words.

Some reviews to tide you over until the results are announced. I ranked them in the order listed (and Lichen Throat included where I would've ranked them had they been eligible).
