I haven't read many of the other reviews so sorry if I'm saying the same things as some of those.
I think I'm going to try to do this in four parts, so here are my first 25 (!!!) reviews.
Abjure!:
This is cute and just fine. I think I would have liked it more if you'd just stuck to the one-take live vibe, with the stereo backup vocals that don't sound at all like they were recorded live with the uke and main vocal. It probably could have been a bit shorter, and for Abjure! maybe a bit raunchier.
Abominominous:
I really like the ambience on the drums, they sound awesome and the playing?programming is great. I dig the feel overall with the guitar and the drums. Guitars sound good too, nice chugga-chugga. Is there no bass guitar? I'd love to hear more low end. Is this about cryptocurrency?! Or maybe capitalism in general? Whatever it is I enjoyed the lyrics. Good stuff? I'd enjoy seeing this played live. VOTE!
Add:
Nice, classic drum machine sounds to start. I immediately enjoy the 6/8 groove. I enjoy when a song has both drum machine and acoustic drums. This chorus absolutely rules. Very choice f-bomb dropping. Chorus major/minor ending is great. I can really hear contempt and disgust in the chorus vocals. Love it. Good idea to have a little instrumental break. I think you could have brought things down more after that, pared things back right out of the gate and built up vs paring down as you went toward that final chorus. I think that would have given the a cappella "eat shit and die" even more impact. Anyway, whatever, this is great. VOTE!
Agony Sauce:
Nice groovin'. I kinda wish the verse vocals were a little smoother and less strained sounding. And that the vocals layered up in the pre-chorus and chorus. This is really solid. I'm somehow not getting who this is about even though other folks I think said it's pretty clear? Not much to say. Maybe I'd love to hear some funkier bass playing. Oh, wow, I do not enjoy the little sketch at the end, sorry. Cut that!
All The Robots:
I like the musical style you've got going. This is like Argentinian tango? I really enjoy the accordion playing, in particular. This is my favorite style of music for accordion. Everything sounds good and this is very competently put together. Sometimes the lyrics take me out of it a tiny bit, and I think a smoother, suaver take on the vocals might work better for me, like huskier singing in a lower register maybe.
Another Future of Music:
AI generated barf. Hard pass. Vocal fry, f that. It is impressive how this AI perfectly nails pop music production though. I look forward to a generation of kids who grow up on AI generated facsimile of pop music who then try to make their facsimile of the AI generated music.
Balance Lost:
I like the nice twinkly intro. I liked the long instrumental outro. Wish I had more to say, this is solid and well done.
Basket Robbers:
Rawk! Nice to hear you doing a fast rocker like this. I'd love to hear some group shouting backup vocals, like responding to some of the main vocals, and maybe a wile, out of control short guitar solo.
Berkeley Social Scene:
I was able to be in Oakland to jam with the guys like the old days for this one and be part of writing and tracking all the music. Martin took the project home and did the lead vocals. There were some recording issues with the instrument tracks so I wound up taking over mixing because I had Izotope RX and could pretty easily fix the recording issues. Then I had a blast adding a bunch of backing vocals in the chorus. I really enjoyed getting to make music with the BSS guys again.
bgm:
I dig the spooky sound. Great instrumentation choices. Good lyrics and the approach of the main vocal really fits. The initial distant backup vocal that comes in works great, adds to the vibe. The dizzy penny whistle solo or whatever it is is another great choice. Gives me a bit of a Tom Waits vibe even. I dig it. VOTE!
Bjam:
It's super cool that you got into the fight! Great to see you back for it. This is just a really sweet wonderful song. Well done!
Brian F:
I dig the Pavement-y indie/garage sound. The lo-fi vocals fit that style but I kinda wish the main vocal was a little less distorted. Backups are great, bah bah bah baaaaaah, nice. Oh, huh, cookie monster backups? Novel choice but it takes me out of the song a bit. And we're done, fun and short.
Cannonade Streete:
Cool drum machine beat. Vocals have some pitch issues. The instrumental break lead guitar could use a little more melodic variety for my tastes. I like the change at the "Hold still, hold still" bit, good idea to change things up a bit there.
Caravan Ray:
Vocals have some pitch issues and I think they could have been recorded a little farther from the mic. I like the music although the thing with the phaser or filter or whatever on it I think doesn't blend in well for my ear. I like when the energy goes up for the "Follow me" part, really nice change and that part has a great vibe. The instrumental break a bit later is really fun, good 80s New Wave moment there. I like the "follow me" repeated backups, might have been cool to layer that up more sooner. Good head bobbing sing along ending.
Carol Cleveland Sings:
It's really great to see you come back, yay! I like the subtle vibrato or whatever is on the guitars, the pitch warbling. I like the intro but I'm so stoked when the song really kicks in. So good! I just wish it were longer!
The Chebuctones:
Aargh, sad but true story in this song. You captured the situation smartly, it comes across as sincere and it's very effective. It's all well done.
Chthonic Black:
Ooh, spooky. We are somewhere cold, dark, windy. An owl hoots. Thunder rolls. Crunchy gnarly guitars swell in, yes! Oh geez, whoa, straight into the blast beats and death growl, hahaha. This is some good solid black metal. I Googled "Gran Soren", is this song about Dragon's Dogma?
Chumpy:
This is some just fine guy-tar. It could have used some more takes. But then we might not have reached 100 songs!
Chumpy vs. Lichen Throat:
Was there an explainer somewhere of who did what for this collab? I like the pairing. I dig the lyrics. I hear very Lichen Throat elements in the music but they seem to have been guided into a shape that feels more familiar and regular, in a way that I like. Oh, I see, the Chumpy entry is the same lyrics, aha. I like the guitar lead in the instrumental section.
Cloverdance:
At first I thought maybe this was going to be King Arthur. Something is very overly clicky in the drums, it's the kick or snare or both. Musically this is a little monotonous. It dwells too much on the same chord, the root chord, for too long, and the vocal melody is also very repetitive. It could use some more musical variety for my ear.
Cybronica & Estaphonia:
This is cute. I like the idea. The singing is good except, maybe I'm imagining this, I feel like there are some pitch issues. Since it's just piano and vocals, the feeling I have that the vocals are ever so slightly off sometimes make it a little hard for me to stick it out through the whole thing.
Dead Ambassadors:
First we had Glenn Case goes punk, now Pigfarmer Jr goes punk! This rocks. Off pitch vocals are maybe more on brand for punk but I still find the pitch issues a little challenging. I'm probably being overly sensitive to those. Anyway, nice short punk tune.
The Def Author:
This is great. I especially like when the drums speed up to double time, and then when they bust into the break beats. I enjoy the contrast in the dry/up-front tracks with the reverbed-out tracks. Not much I can say about this, it's tight.
Dr. Spectacular's Power Circus:
Nice opening blast of rock. That lead guitar tone sounds very Joe Satriani to me, like "Surfing With The Alien", I like it. Good drop down starting the verse and then building up, the "melt your brain" like is great. This is cracking me up and I like it even though it's overly meta. Nice choice to repeat the "melt your brain" a few times before the second chorus. LOL "here's a blistering solo". Solo and solo section are great. This is some very high quality parody cheese goofiness that really works for me. VOTE!
The Dutch Widows:
I like the dark acoustic sound. I wish the vocals were a little clearer in the mix so I could make out the melody more, or if the melody was better defined somehow. Something sounds off in the notes at the very beginning of the bridge, but I like the chord progression through the bridge. I like this but I really wish the vocals were a little firmer and clearer, I think I'd like it a lot more that way.
