I do feel like I should point out that if you roll 2d6 you cannot in fact make 1, so C is impossible. 1d12 would work better.

You're welcome! Even as some of the grumpy contestants
I figure I need to write them anyway so I can do tie-breakers after the initial ratings... so I might as well post my thoughts.

Balance Lost - love the arpeggios. That intro is killer. And the part in between the verses is great too. Vocals sound good, i find this lyrical topic interesting - it’s on the face a bad relationship, but the narrator can still see the good in it? At first i was a little put off by the cadence, bu...

Balance Lost - I was listening to king crimson before this, so i guess i’m primed for long prog rock songs. I do like this intro, a lot. Also all those different styles of guitars and how they work together. Vocal styling isn’t my favorite, but it definitely fits the style. Cavedwellers - syntax/si...

Look, I really don’t care. But there’s SO much that goes into writing and recording a song and your review doesn’t focus on any of those things. Lyrics, song structure, etc. “Anyway, the vocals are good” is the extent of your review of my song (so dismissive) and the rest is complaining about a 5-s...

Sheesh I know about sampling. Like the Avalanches and such, "Frontier Psychiatrist" is awesome. But I didn't like how - for this competition, where the challenge had nothing to do with sampling - the sample was in the forefront and really SO MUCH of what we heard in the song, the sample di...

Balance Lost - i like the rhythmic guitar that comes in partway. And then the one that comes out of the breakdown is very nice. The lyrics are interesting, poetic. Cavedwellers - the echoey guitar is cool. And that bass after the chorus is killer. I enjoyed this breakdown. Frankie Big Face - not su...

These are getting harder to rank. I feel like this week’s entries are high caliber - nothing here was bad! Balance Lost - i like the tongue in cheek of this and the lyrics made me laugh a couple of times, but it is very vulgar. Too much for me, sorry. The self deprecation is good though. Berkeley So...

+1 plus one

Also, offensive how? Yes, I was frustrated and confrontational, but I didn't insult you in any way. I apologise that this has created bad blood between us. I do respect you, Bill, and I genuinely don't mind if you didn't like the song. It was your particular specific use of, uh, harsh language. Did...

But also, nothing about the actual song? Or our guests (some killer flute from Kevin's wife, some killer vox from my daughter)? Sorry. That was two nights in a row falling asleep early and last night I got up at 3am and finished my reviews and ratings. I was probably not in the best mindstate. i ma...

The main problem is the guest part isn’t real integral to the song. Wait a minute.. do you mean like a collaborator? I don't make my guests do anything they don't want to do. craig Here I meant that it seemed he was only playing on that little snippet of song at the end, not that he was with you? B...

Balance Lost - this is another one i feel is kind of samey throughout. Lyric wise i’m not sure the grandad part comes across. Can’t tell if you had a guest. Thanks for the review. Can't tell if I had a guest? Are you serious? You think verse vocalist and chorus vocalist are the same person? Do you ...

Balance Lost - this is another one i feel is kind of samey throughout. Lyric wise i’m not sure the grandad part comes across. Can’t tell if you had a guest. Berkeley Social Scene - the verse is catchier than the chorus. Huh i too am part of JHU in a manner of speaking. So i guess your guest is my c...

The Idiot Kings are in

i'm so excited!

this time i listened in order of length, longest to shortest. i didn't realize before that there is a review template generator. niv! Balance Lost - nice mood. The vocals in the chorus (?) are very effective. The shift when it comes overstays its welcome somewhat. I wanted less repetition. Is there ...

@Hueristicsinc: If you didn't get my joke, then I apologize... like that Jamaican guy from Lord Of The Rings... Saruman.

the jamaican accent is required to make this work. that's what was missing

Wow now that polka really sounds like Al.

Vom vorton - the little blippy thing makes me smile and the lyrics do too. The working of the joke into the lyrics was very smooth. Ending is a little abrupt. Ujn - wow, this is heavy. The lyrics are really good, really evocative. Maybe i’m dense but i don’t get the joke? But i like this a lot anywa...

Dunno about the other judges but I listen at least twice - once without lyrics (and songs get first impression points), and then the second with lyrics and that's when I review and rate the rest. To break ties I listen again.

"To"

Righto, "Will I Make It Home Tonight?" lyrics by you and the rest by me!
Just making sure you were the same person and not some weird confluence of bandnames
