Re: Bridge for sale! (If You Believe It reviews)

Yeah, it's definitely a tall order :) I normally spend at least 30 minutes just repeatedly looping my music and improvising over it until I come up with embellishments and solos that I'm happy with. Let me know if you could ever use a hand and want to collab!

Re: Bridge for sale! (If You Believe It reviews)

JP Nickolas - The delivery of the second verse is super well paced imo. Do you have a background in musical theatre? Something about this power metal style always sounds so theatrical both musically but especially vocally. I’d rather do like a Motorhead musical or something if I’m gonna do more old...

Re: Bridge for sale! (If You Believe It reviews)

> Lastly, (**Not accusatory, but flattering if yes:** Is the verse melody at all influenced by my “A Thousand Cuts” entry? I bet it did in some way subconsciously now that I listen back to it. I was shooting for sleazy, so maybe politician and grifter just have a lot in common melodically. Reviews =...

Re: Not a single #1 hit out of (One Thousand Cuts reviews)

Hah! That explains it! I re-listened to that part several times before posting the review to figure out if they were midi or not. It had more dynamics than I'd expect from midi, but still there were parts where the notes changed more cleanly than I'd expect from a harmonica. Thanks for revealing the...

Re: Not a single #1 hit out of (One Thousand Cuts reviews)

Meant to put these together earlier, but it looks like I'll be slipping them in before the votes are counted. Good job everyone! Schimming & Tanis I really like the finger picked guitar. Good tension on those verse chords (2:15-2:25 for example), although I wish the vocals didn't track the guita...

Re: I bought two lottery tix but (It Wasn't My Good Fortune reviews)

...so I sent it to Ken to mix. I said, Ken - this JP Nickolas character in my instant band has given me guitar parts that are by far the best bit of the song. We need to turn his arse down and make me louder. Ken does great work Awww, but you should have heard the guitars before I sent them to Ken ...

Re: Gonna find me a date at the (Garage Sale reviews)

Ben Crenshaw Nice and short. I like the aggressive tone and it contrasts with the more laid back vocals. The dooo-ops in the backing vocals are also really fun, although a bit loud relative to the main vocals at times. Maybe could have used some eq scooping so they weren't competing with each other ...

In with a tribute to Lilith, the big boss for the new Diablo 4 game. The cinematic trailer looks sick. Borrowed a lot of motifs for this one.
