Adam Adamant: Rather an uninspiring intro, overly fuzzy bassline, in fact quite an odd collection of synthlines, really like the vocal break though.
(listening again, I had my speakers turned down really low... doh!), it's a lot better with added volume, quite cool(ish) in a quirky kind of way... that vocal break is well nice!
Andrew Reist: Mixed a little low for a rock track, but there's a barely suppressed grrr there which is really nice to hear, excellent track Andrew! that's a lot of solo for such a short track, the secret I guess is to make your track sound like its three minutes plus... great job!
Chopped Liver Meat God: there's something strangely eastern about this, can't get the arabian knights out of my mind, maybe it's the vocal delivery, in fact I'm finding the whole experience fascinating, without actually absorbing anything... weird! cool keyboard solo to end!
Cock: Now you've traversed from Depeche Mode into near OMD country, I have to admit, I could listen to this over and over, it's just so very very early eighties.
Frankie Big Face: Vocally this is gorgeous, fantastic track, everything sounds like it's turned up to max! and bubbles just below clipping, neatly done!
Howl Down The Chimney: Now this should be interesting, there's a definate feel of the theatrical about you guys, and this starts like it's going to be epic, let's see if you can pull it off in less than two minutes, haunting solo, sounds a little chopped, but great effort.
John Kloberdanz: One of my favourites from round zero, and this is a little disappointing, but I have to admit to finding the lyrical direction rather enjoyable, quite like the stance you've taken!
Jon Eric: Good track Jon, although there's a little nagging feeling as if you've had more than one idea and been forced to merge them due to time constraints, maybe a little Alanis Morrisette in ideas, but quirkily enjoyable nonetheless.
MC Eric B: Yeah you are beginning to play the 'creepy' card to good effect, that's an excellent solo my friend, is that you or have you extracted some magic from somewhere, personally I'd say this is a major improvement from round zero.
Nigel Clements: I just had to squeeze Sainsbury's in there somewhere
)(I feel like a duffnut amidst all you guitarists!).
Nouveau Pauvre: Excellent talking bass line, and wonderful vocals/vocal effect again, slight worry here is that you'll go far in the competition, but will falter due to lack of style changes, I love this and I loved your round zero effort, but they're both quite similar(ish!)... who am I to talk eh? contender for immunity!
Paco del Stinko: F*ck yeah! meet the Dickies, bloody brilliant, c'mon charlie squeeze them lyrics in... all of 'em, oh what soloing too, plus you can afford to 'scat'... there's more in this track than most people's albums!
Rabid Garfunkel: Heehee finding this very 'blues brothers' for some reason, just a little crazy in all the right ways, should score highly, loving the casual delivery style!
Ross Durand: Not quite as 'nailed' as your round zero entry, but blatently fabulous without doubt, sounds to me like you're playing all your cards here, nice harmonica playing, that doesn't stay too long, very nicely done, challenge well met!
Sheail: This is a long intro for such a short song, I'm really hoping this is an instrumental... haha that'd show 'em, oh no wow, excellent stuff, so well done, great vocal interjections, cool metallica nod!... loved it!
Signboy: This (if turned up a notch) makes an excellent continuation of Sheail's track... works really well.. sorry I'm just fascinated by that
), brilliant playing again, making me feel like more of a duffnut! well done!Austin Wood: umm not sure who Austin Wood is... is this Student Band??, any way it's a little 'too laid back' I feel almost like wheatus without the teen angst or irony, anyway it's probably good enough for progression!
Swilington: ooh! quite a jarring intro, (did you do that to me in round zero too??), sounds just a little too cnfused in places, though that's a lovely little break! with the (bells?)... cool solo(ing) too!, the second half of this track is awesome...!
Test Week Hiatus: Tha's an odd delivery, there guys, reminds me of something, which will probably come to me tomorrow when I'm miles from anywhere.... not overly keen on the lyrics here, and the ramone(esque) "go" doesn't really fit!
Tex Beaumont & The Dirty Hearts: Ha! it took nearly 23 seconds to make me smile, then the grins came quick and frequent, the 'shoo be doobies' are excellent, nice take on the title too, I like it, in a very bad taste way. quirky and cool!
Tiny Robots: Oh just perfect... again!
I think I said last week, I'd buy your album, I also know several people who'd buy it as well.... Just great, everything is!
"spinning out of control", this line delivered that way is pure gold!
Todd McHatton: Hmm! nice kind of like Jon Eric's track with a little more teeth, I'm pleased that the guitarists have taken the solo part of the challenge to show off they're skills, and you're no exception Todd!
WreckdoM: I remember always looking forward to WreckdoM songfight entries and being let down probably more often than I'd like to admit, but this is number 2 in an ongoing series of excellent tracks, I really hope you guys go far in this competition, because you're so original!
