Johnny in the Corner Aside from the missing bass ..... There's a bass there. Real bass. Jack even got me to turn it up in the mix. or do you mean it's gone missing as in it's all over the place? yeah I know it's there dude, and it's not all over the place as far as I can tell, I just couldn't hear ...

Adam Dachis I love the "Oh how I want a million things melody" section and the beautifully Joanna Newsom La la la/na na na section, however the rest of the song (which is a trifle long for the point you're trying to get across), is rather monotonous probably because the general mood of th...

- Compression would really make the mix more listenable (
- Some of the harmony vocals were out of tune and should have been resung (or dropped)
- Some of them were good
- The Volume jumped around a lot on the song, making it hard to enjoy.

Don't want criticism? Don't write songs and post them on the internet.

Or put down the shaker, whichever is easiest for you.

Boltoph I like your voice, kinda reminds me of the guy from that Len song "Steal My Sunshine", your little backing harmonies are pretty too. This whole thing is well recorded and I like that little 7th coffee shop chord in the chorus. This is really well executed summery acoustic guitar p...

Re: My choice

Sell crazy got my vote. not much of a review, I guess I felt most of the others went for a cheap laugh here or there (or all the way through). Sell crazy seemed like the most fully formed concept, especially outside of the obvious Britney spears references. i appreciated that. Thank you Also, being...

Dopant - If Courtney Love was singing this it would be great. The voice needs to be a bit more lived-in. Specifically really reminds me of 'Celebrity Skin' Hole which features a song called 'Hollywood', natch! The singing is fine but it sounds like you've never been drunk, nevermind drunk on someon...

I think the guitar things you're hearing is that I had a SM57 on the cab grille and a condensor backed off a ways for natural room verb that I think I left too high in the mix. The tracks may be out of phase, too, which can thin the sound. Apologies if you know this stuff already, but here's a good...

Dopant: Solid song overall, especially the performance. Nice and tight. I'd like to hear the drums a lot louder, and the guitar is doing some phasing thing I can't put my finger on. Did you double it? hey thanks :o, It was a case that I recorded everything the Saturday, mixed the Sunday and thought...

Likely Lads: Mellencamp/Springsteen vox meet mid90's Empire Records Soundtrack slo-jam feel (sort of Gin Blossoms/Innocence Mission type pop). I wish there was a little keyboard part. A simple one. This song seems like the type to rely on its lyrics so I feel they could be a little fresher. We're a...

Leablit - Heavy rock, not really my thing. The bit when you try and get a bit more poppy with the breakdown and harmonies doesn't sound all that great because the pitch of the vocals isn't very strong. Well recorded and tasty drumming, but about as far from my cup o tea as can be... Luke Henley - I...
