Time to reveal that the reason I failed to write any more songs beyond the first round is because I was secretly every one of the judges.

Not really happening for me at the moment, sorry. Hoping to get at least one more song in before this thing ends but it doesn't look like it's going to be round three.

Looks like I'm ducking out here, I entered the contest with a house move stuck in "nothing going on" but now it's escalated to "everything going on at once" and needs my full attention. Best of luck to the remaining contestants!

Well deserved win for Vom this round.

Cheers!

Factory Reset by Vom Vorton I guess you’d given up you said we were on life support and it was finally time to pull the plug I knew I’d lost the war but wish I’d fought a little more hindsight is a hell of a drug instead I met your bombshell with a shrug now it seems a broken heart can very slowly ...

is this a joke to you? by vom vorton you’re telling me the grass is always greener and my eyes are glazing over I’ve heard these words so many times before you’re sneering at my comfort zone but I don’t care, your cover’s blown I guess you win I wasn’t keeping score is this a joke to you? am I just...

For Your Consideration by Vom Vorton Challenge element - acoustic and electric piano. for your consideration the complete disintegration of the heart why does the body keep moving when it’s missing such a fundamental part? why is he walking around? how can she hold a conversation? how can they eat ...

Whoa, impressive stuff!

Interesting that you're not the only reviewers to focus on the drums in my song. I used two loops from an old drum machine, I have no info on what the sounds are.

Vom Vorton: I, too, want to dismantle the legacy of the British empire. That's what this song is about, right? I love the electropop fusion sound you've got going here.

Yeah, pretty much! Thanks for writing reviews and saying nice things!

Vom Vorton every time I close my eyes, I see disaster and I’m crossing all my fingers it’s not too late but everything just seems to keep on happening faster no matter how hard we stamp on the brakes and when we raise our voices they change the laws to spite us but if we throw a party then they won...

Just wanting to make it clear that you can't randomly draft the majority of the world onto your side of the argument like that.

Anyone that lives anywhere
Outside of West Coast of the United States will most likely agree with me.

Nope.

Vom Vorton my baby joined an e-bike gang I voted no, she went against my will my baby joined an e-bike gang now I can’t follow her uphill she says she doesn’t want me meddling I can’t tell if she’s really pedalling, any more my baby joined an e-bike gang but I don’t trust the technology yet my baby...

I also have an idea that I'll do my best to get finished and submitted.

Cavedwellers - good song, particularly the catchy chorus. Mix feels a bit muddy, the vocal in particular gets a little buried at times. Lyrically, I'm a little mixed - some of the "answering" here feels a little... patronising? But the rhythms / rhymes / word choices in the chorus are fun...

Good work on your covers, Vom and PFJr!

Cheers!

Crazy tough rankings at this point. Stuff I don't like in the songs I like best, stuff I think is great in the ones that don't quite work for me. Good work on fully getting into the challenge, everyone! Cavedwellers - I have some issues with this one but the energy and great brass arrangement mostly...

This is out today and it has at least a couple of Song Fight alumni on it (Dead Ambassadors is a Pigfarmer Jr. project).

Do we have free reign on the phrase " Pick it up" ?

Only if you've chosen ska. Using "pick it up" in a glitch track will result in immediate disqualification.

Sorry if these reviews are a little grumpier and more perfunctory than usual, I've been in so many long meetings already this week and it's sucking my will to live. Berkeley Social Scene - this is fine but there are a bunch of other songs here that are more than fine and I can't hear anything here t...

I don't really like guitar solos and will often go to great lengths to avoid them..! Is that weird for a guitar player? Probably! Massive high five! I really think guitar solos should be deployed extremely sparingly and the fact that many SF / NE entrants include them in every song is a continued p...

Getting really hard to rank now! There were things I liked about all of these, some very tough decisions. Berkeley Social Scene - why does this remind me of Boffo Yux Dudes? Something about the energy and nerdy lyrics sends my brain immediately in that direction. The energy is great and the chorus i...
