Re: It's fine, there's a McDonald's and a gas station (Next Exit reviews)

Everybody Hurts Guitar work is skillful and that really carries this one all the way to the end, along with the fine bass. “Burn down dreams and warning signs” is a good lyric. I feel the power and the passion in this song, and it helps that its sections noticeably move from one level, to the next, ...

Re: It's fine, there's a McDonald's and a gas station (Next Exit reviews)

With the piano line so close to the melody this felt like it was intended for a play. A play might contextualize it too -- I had trouble telling what I was supposed to make of the allegory or where it was pointing. I thought it might be communicating a national/societal "where do we go from he...

Re: He kicked my ass all the way (Up To My Neck reviews)

Berkeley Social Scene : This has a good groove throughout, with even better than usual BSS guitar playing/inventiveness. Good bass/vocal/drums and no complaints with this mix. I am a great fan of the verse, pre-chorus, chorus and solo breaks. I do think the bridge feels a bit out of place - a too-h...

Up To My Neck The Mellfire Trifecta When I was just a boy I had a favorite dog That leash was an extension of my arm When I turned 17 she broke my heart by mistake Expiring one night on the floor of the barn It took some time to handle heavy feelings of hurt To let myself be quiet in my mind I tried...

Re: This is who I am (Sorry About the Mess Reviews)

Pigfarmer Jr. Interesting low-key beginning is powerful and I enjoyed the plinking piano being more prominent than it is in later sections. I like your chorus chord progression and your guitar fills throughout are tasty. Additional listens got this chorus good and stuck in my head. Think my neighbou...

Re: Don't call it a conspiracy (Just A Theory reviews)

Pigfarmer Jr I needed a couple of listens but this one got under my skin. The production is awesome. This offers a great arrangement, great vocal, nice harmonies, a perfect bridge, and you have changed the strumming at times to keep things moving. Really nice guitar playing and tones. The only thing...

Re: And I know how to cheat (I Don't Need Luck reviews)

The Evertree Forest I’m loving the guitar on this, especially in the verses. So clear and bright. I thought your chorus was going to stay bouncy and light – maybe go faster/busier – but you took an interesting turn before the zippy musical section. Smooth vocals when you do your low singing. Nice! M...

Re: And I know how to cheat (I Don't Need Luck reviews)

Another week, another cool-ass Mellfire Trifecta song. The song structure is unique, the lyrics are great, and is that a real accordion? My only complaint is that the mix is a bit flat; some more compression would make that kicks bass stand out a bit more, and would give the drums the toughness to ...
