Congratulations Moss Palace!
well played.

I can't lie, it's disappointing to come so close, but hey at least this way I don't have to judge next year! :)

Re: Nur Ein XIX Round Five- "House of Cards"

"breakdown" vs "transition" Yeah, you make good points and when I listen back I agree that technically what you've done is as legitimate a breakdown as any in the fight. Probably then, the issue is with the effectiveness of the breakdown. I think stripping away everything but th...

Re: Nur Ein XIX Round Four- "Crush Season"

Thnak you for your answer.

Do you think you could find another method of scoring where Balance Lost would win? For example, by alphabetical order or by how many dirty swears were used in the song.

Re: Nur Ein XIX Round Four- "Crush Season"

I have a hypothetical question for the judges. What if, say, I had got 2 points from Judge 1 resulting in a 3-way tie. In that instance, I would beat Starfinger in a tiebreaker, Starfinger beats Moss Palace, and Moss Palace beats me. How would the tie then be broken? Would it be based on how many to...

I meant it as in you're upping your game each round. Maybe tryhard wasn't the right word to use since people often use pejoratively.

All good points, Siebass. I do appreciate that judges are volunteers and that it is a thankless task, so I'm grateful for the sacrifice that they are all making. That being said, having been a judge here on multiple occasions; it's not that hard, especially when you don't have to write reviews, whic...

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 ...

Re: Nur Ein XIX Round Two- "Factory Reset"

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 a lyrical shift to go along with the musical one? Thanks for the feedback, Bill. I appreciate it. The answer to the question is no. T...

Well, I've sent something in but had zero time to work on it since Wednesday so you're only getting a half-finished track from me this time. Unfortunately I haven't been able to address the lyrical part of the challenge (not intentionally anyway). Fingers crossed. Good luck to all of you.
