Re: Nur Ein XVII: Round One "Deified"

That shadow review I forgot to post. Rattlebox : Who the f is Rattlebox? Aha it's good ol' Bennykreegz! Pleasure to have you around sir. Wish this was in the fight, but a welcome shadow indeed. You have a special knack for slightly imperfect indie pop nuggets and this fits that bracket like a glove....

Re: Nur Ein XVII: Round One "Deified"

I just realised I accidentally omitted my Rattlebox review when I posted. I'll add it when I get home.

Re: Nur Ein XVII: Round One "Deified"

Much better showing this round. Well done all. I've listed these as I ranked them, although I did shuffle these around quite a bit so inaccuracies are possible. The consistent quality of the entries made it very tricky to decide the rankings, particularly in the middle range. The Lowest Bitter: Bang...

Re: Nur Ein XVII: Round Zero "Friday the 13th"

I would LOVE to know HOW to "ring out" Omni and remove aggressive frequencies. Could I use the spectrum analyzer in GarageBand to do that? i.e. see where it's peaking and turn it down on those frequencies? I don't know what kind of EQ GarageBand has but you should follow these steps. 1) A...

This is, hands down, one of the best reviews I’ve ever read.
Thank you for taking it in a positive way, and also for helping me on my quest to be the songfighter most quoted in the signatures of others.

Re: Nur Ein XVII: Round Zero "Friday the 13th"

What I'm about to say will make me sound like a complete bastard, I know. I hope you can take it as me speaking in my "encouraging voice". There were some good entries here, but for the most part I've gotta say I'm surprised how many songs completely failed to sound remotely happy or exude...

Re: Don't tell me (I Only Imagined It reviews)

I am drskonk! I will review these in alphabetical order or I am liable to miss someone. BSS : I like the verses as they have a mix of a nice flow and flange-laden guitars and vocals. Other parts seem slightly awkwardly stitched together. But overall it's full of cool tones and riffs. Aussie Steve or...

Re: Don't tell me (I Only Imagined It reviews)

Balance Lost – Nice guitar work, I like the drum loop. There are some parts of the sub bass which are really annoying through my speakers in the verses. At some other parts the bass seems to be missing? The chorus is quite cool. I would keep it a lot shorter - but the longer it goes the more hypnot...

Re: I hide my scars (Behind a Mask reviews)

My votes this week are for:
Swampy Nethers (for having the best song)
Lichen Throat (for sounding the most like Joy Division)
Vom Vorton (pure nepotism)
Duncan Martin (because although i didn't like the song, any reference to the man Statham gets a vote from me)

Re: Nur Ein XVI: Final Round "Blue"

Here for your weekly dose of 1 review... Since this round was inspired by the late Mr Lang I will write reviews in a spirit of which I think he would have approved, i.e. nasty, nitpicky and dismissive.

Re: Nur Ein XVI: Round Four "Waiting For The Sun To Fall"

Balance Lost - Guess which three judges are American? [beleaguered sigh] So look, I felt bad about this ranking too. I know what The Sun is, I know why it sucks, and I get why you'd be frustrated with it. But as an American, this isn't part of the daily fabric of my life, and I didn't emotionally c...
