Re: Don't look now... (Miss Lovely Eyes reviews)
Balls To Monte - not my best, but I just couldn't let another week go by without submitting a song. The music is VERY Arthur Lee. The lyrics I mostly dreamed in my sleep and wrote down as separate thoughts.
Brown Word and the Big Whine - This is kinda like David Bowie meets Suzi Quatro, and that's a REALLY good thing. Great lyric and vocal (though could be a little louder). Great job overall.
Buddy Hinton - Really good sounds here. Love the chord progression in the chorus especially. The harmonies are really nice too (though maybe week just a little bit in the mix next time). Love the jangly guitar throughout.
Cannonade Streete - Bit of a Springsteen vibe going on here. Having a bit of trouble making out the lyrics (something I'm often guilty of too, to be fair). Like the overall sound and vibe.
CazaroTaro - My favorite so far. Really good tune, story and lyrics. I don't what you're recording with, but everything sounds super sharp and well-balanced. Very jealous of this. My only complaint is that it ends too soon.
David G. Harrington - Really well-constructed song, and the instrumentation and lyrics are great. If I could change anything, I would have had the drums in Verse 4 kick in earlier in the song instead just the claps. Still, VERY good.
Duncan Martin - Damn, another good one. Really clever lyrics and a really good tune. Maybe turn the drums up a tad. That's the only bad thing I can think of.
heine - Yet another really good one. Love the instrumentation, and vocals and the lyrics [I really feel like I'm repeating myself here. Sorry about that]. Is that a violin solo at the end?
hoodmo - You have a really strong voice, and this key fits it perfectly. Great harmonies too. The bridge is particularly clever. The guitar solo suits this perfectly as well. Damn, I'm really getting sick of all of the good performances here. But seriously, you really have a great way with a song. Most likely voting for this.
James Owens - Beautiful arrangement. This is a gorgeous song. Reminds me of Paris 1919-era John Cale, a beautiful drone with a wonderful melody to match. It's gonna be hard to narrow down my choices this week.
Jeff DeSantis - I am getting SICK of this! Another really good one. The instrumentation is beautiful. What do you use for strings, if you don't mind me asking? Good vocal and lyrics too. DAMN!
Jonathan Mann - The production on this is particular good (you must be at least semi-pro). The harmonies on the chorus are perfect. All the instruments are crystal clear. Great job. Out of curiosity, what do use for recording?
The Library Dogs - ANOTHER ringer [I'm just jealous]? This sounds amazing and the harmonies are perfect. The guitar solo is wonderful. Love the touch of marimba as well. This is truly an embarrassment of riches this week.
Lichen Throat - Great lyric as usual, and your voice keeps improving. Your vocal timing also continues to get better. Great job.
Messy Oily Elves - This is one of those song that's clever enough to make me think I've heard it before, though I know I haven't. Really solid throughout. Just great song construction and performance. The synth solo is particularly nice.
Moody Vermin - Love the slightly disjointed feel to this. The backwards guitar is well-placed and effective. It sounds like it's about to descend into chaos, but then you pull it back from the brink. I really like that. Great guitar chords towards the end as well. Very good.
The N'Stuff - I would expect nothing less than a solid pop song from you guys, and this doesn't disappoint. The harmonies and lead guitar in particular are great.
Night Sky - Kind of a Four Seasons vibe here. This is really fun song with great instrumental interaction (love the duetting guitars). Another great one from you.
Paco del Stinko - Really interesting chord progression in this song. Really loving the harmonies (though they could be a tad louder). The guitar solo is perfect, albeit brief.
The Pannacotta Army - Whoa! This is wonderfully mellow and beautifully played (is that an upright bass?). What more can I say? Terrific, as usual. LOVE the chord change right before "So easily missed."
Pigfarmer Jr - The opening rhythm track makes me think of M-79 Ambush [look it up]. Another solid one from you with fantastic guitar work.
Robyn Mackenzie - Particularly great lyrics here, and I love the harmonies on the chorus. Great job all around.
Rod The Bunman - You definitely sound like a Neil Young fan (nothing wrong with it). I like the lyric a lot, and basic arrangement (with a great guitar solo) really suits it.
Sir Chorizo - Really liked this one too. Kinda like really happy-sounding Pavement, which, again, is a compliment.
Sly Eli - Really love how the song builds with the orchestration. Really well done. Love the double-time changeup at the end.
Sumner Sloane - Love the sunny feel of this one, like a 70s California classic. Really catchy.
Sweeney Toad - Interesting lyric, to put it mildly. I can always count on you for something different. I love the idea behind it. Even though the sound isn't really my thing (especially the autotune), it's pretty cool.
Tiny Robots - Wow. Another great one. Jesus! I have NO IDEA who I'm going to vote for. There are far too many to choose from. It's gonna be tough.
Brown Word and the Big Whine - This is kinda like David Bowie meets Suzi Quatro, and that's a REALLY good thing. Great lyric and vocal (though could be a little louder). Great job overall.

Re: Don't look now... (Miss Lovely Eyes reviews)
Thank you! No, I can't play violin (although I own a cheap one). It's an acoustic and an electric guitar played in unison, maybe there's some kind of interfering.genecawley wrote: ↑Sun Apr 04, 2021 8:56 pmheine - Yet another really good one.

Sorry, I couldn't separate the guitars because this one was mixed in mono on purpose. I thought this would be a nice little ditty for a 60s beat group so I kept it mono. The final mix was sent through a hot tube pre-amp and then re-recorded. And this is what it sounds like. I'm quite happy the way it turned out.

Re: Don't look now... (Miss Lovely Eyes reviews)
So, bottom line is Rod should separate his guitars, but everybody else is cool on this?

If everybody in the US slammed open their windows, stuck out their heads and shouted "SEPARATE YOUR GUITARS MY MAN", that would do the world some good.

Re: Don't look now... (Miss Lovely Eyes reviews)
Trying to only vote for things that particularly strike me. If I didn't vote for a song it doesn't mean I didn't like it or thought it was bad.
•Balls To Monte
Love the main ridey drum beat and jangling guitars. Intro is great drew me in right away. The verse sounds like a chorus but doesn't really matter, I like the melody it's not revolutionary but fresher than most. Bridge is good too. Don't really have any gripes with the song.
•Brown Word and the Big Whine
I think the song is cool and I feel like it is/could be really catchy but some of the choices made mask it a bit, mostly like too low guitars and partially drums in relation to the voice. That was the main thing I noticed I think it would hit harder if they were melded a bit better. The intro/break was kind of interesting but wasn't really into it and the booming bass was kind of annoying. Like the outro part where the voice sounds completely different.
•Buddy Hinton (v)
Intro is unbelievably tight and strong and brings you in straight away. Jangling guitars and bass sound great. Part of the main progression is a little too-familiar permutations of I IV V but none of us can really escape that anyway, and it goes in more interesting places right after. Really liking the melody on the vocals all through the whole thing, like also how it veers off from the major scale at the end.
•Cannonade Streete
Overall I do like this, but there isn't a lot going on, I guess by design so can't really fault that. Don't really care for the little bridge part and the lyrics on it, or the little solo after. Not bad overall though.
•CazaroTaro
I like how dynamic the song is with different unique interweaving parts. Fun to listen to for that reason and for the story but as a song didn't really grab me that hard. Cuts off at the end abruptly I'm wondering if that was a mistake.
•David G. Harrington
Not digging the background music, it sounds like what youtube attaches to people's gopro videos they uploaded of their beach vacation drone shots. So maybe it's just I'm not into whatever genre this is. Like the vocals, sounds like mollusk-era ween in a few different places.
•Duncan Martin (v)
Overall I really like the song, really warm comforting atmosphere on the story, melody harmonies and the chord progression and arrangement. Overall the whole thing just comes together well. I think it could be improved if the vocals could sit into the mix a bit better they are slightly too prominent versus the music. I'm hearing a sort of pad sound underlying basically the whole song, what instrument is that or is it singing I would be interested to know?
•heine
I really liked the instrumental intro in the beginning and how the chord progression sounded. Then the first verse came in and I was still on board with the melody and everything that was going on. Then the toms build up to the chorus started and it kind of lost me. So overall good song just wasn't totally on board.
•hoodmo
I like the song, instrumentation and vocals all good and nice arrangement. Wish the chorus was stronger in some way.
•James Owens
I think I just don't like this genre, it's not you, it's me. But I wasn't really getting into it. Sounds like it's a nice song though I don't have anything really bad to say on it.
•Jeff DeSantis
Nicely done on the instrumentation. Like the chorus very strong, but was less enamored of the verse section.
•Jonathan Mann (v)
Hearing this is interesting to me as it makes me realize my appreciation of amateur vs. professional music is operating on two different levels. So this is one of the best done most fully realized professional things on here, and I do like it (the chorus is great on it). But it crosses some kind of threshold where I have to think, well if I heard this on the radio I would just skip by, but hearing it here it sounds so well done it's out of place. So sorry not sure I'm commenting that much on the song itself but overall great song.
•Lichen Throat (v)
Really in love with everything up to :24. From :24 to :48 I'm a little lost with the monotone. Then at :48 the greatness of the lyrics start to draw me back in. I really like the hook of the song conceptually and musically.
•Messy Oily Elves
Great construction and arrangement. really sweet sound on one of the parts that sounds like a prechorus but never gets to a chorus. That's one thing I notice about the song, which I don't consider a bad thing I just noticed, is that there are a bunch of parts all sounding like they want to transition to something else then they transition to another transition part. But I think that's pretty cool.
•Moody Vermin
Nice atmosphere on this. Interesting vocals and backward effect on the chorus. I'm not sure it's totally my thing not sure I'd go out of my way to listen again but nice song.
•Night Sky (v)
lovely lovely intro with the chords and lead guitar loved it. I like the easy melody and the harmonies coming in quick (harmonies after the rhythm guitars are the best part of the song). love the outro.
•Paco del Stinko (v)
Love the tightness and dryness of the instrumentation. The production on this is so great I can hear everything so clearly. Playing is so impeccable on this song. Vocals are great too.
•Pigfarmer Jr
Nice rhythm guitars and I like the razory guitar leads. Like how the ending of the chorus makes you think its going to go more epic but instead cuts off quick kind of made me chuckle. the panning vocals is kind of off putting (in headphones at least).
•Robyn Mackenzie
I like your voice. The bass sound (bass guitar?) needs to be tamped down with eq or compression or something it's overpowering everything.
•Rod The Bunman
Really like the lead playing. Nice vocals. Nice chorus. Kind of weird how unexpectedly the song ends.
•Sly Eli
I like the performance and the melody and overall like the song. the ethereal octave up vocals section is really great. I generally am not into an acoustic guitar only performance but this kept my attention. I am really not digging the strings though they are cloying and almost ruin it for me. The change up at the end is ok but didn't really care about it personally.
•Sumner Sloane (v)
Took me a bit for this to grow on me. Really well done song.
•Sweeney Toad (v)
Chorus on this is really great. The whining undertone on it adds so much. Some of the lyrics got a nice chuckle out of me. Juices/useless is a great couplet.
•The Library Dogs (v)
very nicely done pretty much everything impeccable. melodies and harmonies kept me engaged all the way though. Great instrumentation.
•The N'Stuff
I think it's nicely done, but unfortunatley I'm listening to these alphabetically and this starts with the letter T and I feel like I'm getting ear fatigue and your song makes me think of watching a romantic comedy and then the credits roll and your song comes on (could be a good thing?). Nice song.
•The Pannacotta Army
Gorgeous opening. Great song with lovely tones on everything from the voice to guitar to drums.
•Tiny Robots (v)
Great drums, lovely lovely vocals. Nice song that never gets tedious.
•Balls To Monte
Love the main ridey drum beat and jangling guitars. Intro is great drew me in right away. The verse sounds like a chorus but doesn't really matter, I like the melody it's not revolutionary but fresher than most. Bridge is good too. Don't really have any gripes with the song.

Chorus on this is really great. The whining undertone on it adds so much. Some of the lyrics got a nice chuckle out of me. Juices/useless is a great couplet.
•The Library Dogs (v)
very nicely done pretty much everything impeccable. melodies and harmonies kept me engaged all the way though. Great instrumentation.
•The N'Stuff
I think it's nicely done, but unfortunatley I'm listening to these alphabetically and this starts with the letter T and I feel like I'm getting ear fatigue and your song makes me think of watching a romantic comedy and then the credits roll and your song comes on (could be a good thing?). Nice song.
•The Pannacotta Army
Gorgeous opening. Great song with lovely tones on everything from the voice to guitar to drums.
•Tiny Robots (v)
Great drums, lovely lovely vocals. Nice song that never gets tedious.

Re: Don't look now... (Miss Lovely Eyes reviews)
Thank you for that review. The underlying bit is probably a mix of things. I played quiet clarinet all the way through, and put a synth string on the choruses. But the vocals and (unseparated) guitars were also stacked a bit high, so there was always a sustaining note in there somewhere. Oh and I sampled the seashore at the beginning and end -- sort of cheesy, but so is the song, and it seemed like something a Brill Building hotshot would do in 1964 or whateverSir Chorizo wrote: ↑Mon Apr 05, 2021 1:45 pmDuncan Martin (v)
I'm hearing a sort of pad sound underlying basically the whole song, what instrument is that or is it singing I would be interested to know?

Yes, The N'Stuff song is in fact going to be the theme song of a released direct to Pluto TV VOD movie, a knockoff 90s teen rom com starring whoever are the 2021 versions of Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze
