Re: Nur Ein XIV Round Two "Pump The Brakes"

Sunday Colors- Your voice is wonderful. There’s something very Dylan about this song. Great words, frantic strumming. Reminds me of Richie Havens singing a Dylan song. I’m wishing for more instrumentation. One lyrical thing that irks me (I’m sorry, I’m the son of an English teacher) Now you think t...

Re: Nur Ein XIV Round One "Shock Value"

Boffo Yux Dudes I swear I don’t understand why people would Yoda the first line of a song. (unless it’s a Weird Al Star Wars parody) Just use your best Yoda voice, and read your first line. Don’t set the tone of your song that way. It’s more annoying when the song overall isn’t bad. Interesting sto...

Re: Nur Ein XIV Round One "Shock Value"

BYD - This is very cool. I really enjoy the chorus. This is another one where I think the challenge hurt the song. I have to turn up the volume to hear the verses right. Is this the heaviest thing you guys have ever done? Holy shit! Reviews already...color me impressed! Thanks for the good words. Y...

Re: Nur Ein XIV Round Zero "Message Received"

Right let's get these posted so I can get on with my life. Boffo Yux Dudes - this is ridiculously catchy and fun, and I fell in love with it even without having any clue what you were singing about (I have now done my Wikipedia research). I really wish the mix was better though, it's so kinda muffl...

Instead of writing reviews for the songs this round, Ryan and I thought we'd record some random mouth sounds and share them with you. [*]00:15:32 - Boffo Yux Dudes Nur Ein!

BYD - Also Someone thinks they’re in the Doors but hasn’t told everyone else. This is incorrect. We're all too aware in BYD that the keyboardist thinks he's in The Doors. You should tell him to stop it then :) No, then he'll just go back to thinking he's in Styx, so we opted for the lesser of two e...

I REALLY liked this one a lot, actually I have no idea what to say to you! Ooo. There's that Dylan line. I do want to say that you almost sound like...

Non Optional Challenge: Song must be autobiographical Clarification! Autobiographical in spirit or autobiographical as in factually true about oneself? If the latter, how do the judges intend on telling the difference? I was wondering that as well. And if we need to be factually true, can I choose ...

Re: Nur Ein VI: Round One

pop machine - That bridge chorus thing kills this. Plus the bad Dylan reference. But that other bridge thing is very cool. OK, but seriously (and I don't say that often, trust me) WHAT Dylan reference? I legitimately curious, since we didn't conciously put one in there... YwSZvHqf9qM Heh, oh yeah, ...

Pop Machine - I like the music here, but it's a bit stiff. Confused by the Brie business, but like that the song gets a little kooky. Thanks for the comments, Senor Del Stinko. Appreciate getting words from the pack leader so far...I didn't come out as kooky as we hoped, so it looks like we need mo...

I WILL NOT STAND FOR random and unjustified disparaging of dairy products in song form. Oh yeah - the song as boring as shit too. I can go with the boring comment,...

Re: Nur Ein VI: Round Zero

Pop Machine - Well, you certainly got the "educational" requirement out of the way, but I have to admit that a lot of this went right over my head, so I didn't really get much out of it. It's musically-executed well enough, and you had enough panache to know to add elements of musicality ...
