Add The drums'n'organ backing tracks idea has gotten pretty threadbare for me at this point. The arrangement just winds up being too sparse for me and I feel like there is dead air sometimes. The way you use the second vocal track to fill in some of that big empty space with the ahh ahh responses i...

Tomorrow - In This Moment Hydraulic press between her ribs Where something else really oughta be Push all the youth she can in there And brush out the debris Why yes I'm a mess And yet I'm proud of the man I've become Exhale I failed And yet I ended up where I belong Got drafted into service Fightin...

Glenn Case - Stonewall I put up with too much For much too long You were living on borrowed time And now that is gone With information That I know now I'm out of patience I'm shutting down I put up with too much Now I'm moving on With information That I know now I'm out of patience I'm shutting down...

The Idiot Kings - I think there's a lot of potential in this but that it's not quite there yet. I really wish you'd drawn out the hook line "It's just a good day to be dumb" so that it ran through four measures. Echoing Mr. Blonde again (sorry!) I also felt like the "Idiot Place"...

Caravan Ray - Side Show Roll up roll up Come step aside The sideshow’s here Let's take a ride Lights are flashing in the sky Roll up roll up And come inside The laughing clowns could love you but I’m not qualified The laughing clowns could love you but I’m not qualified The fortune teller didn’t lie...

Here are some more reviews. These are in the order I listened to the songs. add The lyrics are obtuse but the imagery and wordplay work enough for me. Is there an actual tremolo effect on the two vocal tracks, maybe like in reference to the "Your voice is shaking" line, or is that just nat...

View From the Bottom - Vom Vorton the fire alarm is blaring but it’s going to be okay we’ll drown it out with sunshine even though it’s a rainy day we’re a long way from the top but up there everything’s rotten and if it should collapse then there’s a pretty good view from the bottom we’ve spent too...
