I am finding this round to be one of (if not the) hardest to score though I'm not sure why. That I'm still finding things to like/enjoy/discover after repeated listens tells me that there's quite a bit of meat on the songwriting bones of this round/challenge. Add - I like the hard panned high range ...

The Idiot Kings - In This Moment So what happens next When we get who they elect I want to shout and scream Right in this moment To those who fear the most And want to give up the ghost Your anger is a tool Right in this moment Organize!

I found this to be a very strong round. I ended up just throwing (most of) my notes out and just jotting down a couple of sentences while re-listening. Honestly, picking a favorite is hard. It changes every time I listen through. Add - That dirty organ is gorgeous. Combined with the non 2/4 snare it...

I was under the assumption that there would be constructive criticism from the judges, and we heard from one.

I will try to finish up reviews tonight... or do a once over with whatever I have and just go with that.

Stonewall by Tomorrow (gang vocals in the bridge contributed by Huan-hua Chye and Tom Morton) My country don't like changin My country drags its feet A tug of war to find out What you're allowed to be When the Stonewall goes up And it all goes down Are you wearin handcuffs? Are you shoutin "han...

Some thoughts after several listening sessions but before scoring is finalized. Add - I feel the organ parts would work better for me if the first and second verses were switched but then I don't think there would be enough of a contrast with the bridge*. But it seems to take a step back from V1 to ...

Glenn Case - Hapless Avenue I am so happy right now Don't say it out loud If somebody hears it Only time will tell Time will sus it out Going to jinx it all Lessons you should take to heart Everything will fall Everything will fall apart I am so happy right now Don't quite know how It could disappea...

Add - I like the organ a lot and the intro was enticing. The fact that it isn’t grabbing me as much as I want it to is likely a combination of the melody, vocal delivery and maybe a touch of ear fatigue from a mix that isn't quite as clear as some of the other entries. That being said, there is sti...

Hoblit - Side Show They have shoved me aside deflating my pride Quarter decisioning and finance reasoning But I swear that I don't care I feel unqualified and guilty inside I think I'm inferior and insecure But I still swear that I don't care We gamble our retirement while they reap what we sow So p...

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. We will miss you but we also want you to be healthy and creative. Please do what you can but also, please don't feel bad/guilty/wha...

If that happens, I’m pretty sure I’m not picking Mr. Brown, because that would be like being called Mr. Shit (Which like, depending on your point of view might be entirely accurate.) I hope Mr. Brown doesn't hear you say that or you'll be getting straight "BAD"s this week! Done! with my r...

In order of the Soundcloud playlist: Add - Good production except for the balance of the organ which feels just a hair too loud or maybe needs a bit of EQ cut in a place or two. It sounds great but I’m definitely getting some ear fatigue listening to it. The lyrics are excellent, the use of sense bo...

There's a huge difference between Mr. Brown and Mr. Brownstone. Just sayin'.
