Also, nobody had submitted any cover art, so I was forced to make some AI generated slop art.

Brown Word and the Big Whine: This is an interesting one... not sure how but it works but it does! love the dial up sound as well.

Everybody Hurts: Very metal! Love the little intro, the repetition in the verses is earwormy too!

Johnny Cashpoint: Love the instrumental! The strings sound cool. Like the different bit towards the end, and the lyric about having the lowest rated pornhub movie of all time is quite funny.

The Pannacotta Army: Possibly the most chilled out song of this fight. I love the whole song, the strings in the background add a nice touch too. possibly slightly pulp sounding.

V4nnim3l: That's me. If I've ripped anything off I apologize...

Losts of sample-based entries this round. However, that shines a light on the vocal mixing and arrangements that need to live up to the sounds under them.

10258 - Sounds nice. The rhyming vocals sounded like the guy from blood hound gang which I liked, but the layered ones were a bit messy but over all good.

Brown Word - Lots of parts, not sure what I think of this one.

Everybody hurts - Heavy duty but I don't hear a single.

John Cashpoint - I liked the minimalist guitar solo; but I liked the vocal inflections less. Sounded like if they guys who made fish heads made something today.

Pannacotta - Comes in with the typically well-arranged entry and a song where vocals got some of the attention they deserve. This one gets my vote.

v4nnim - At first, I thought this was Major Tom variant, the song is decent but needs better mixing and the level is low. The drum programming was a bit too tight to sound natural and if fixed would have ranked higher in my picks

I completely missed 10,258's entry when it first came in, my mistake. Added it earlier today.

Hi all, I wrote some reviews but then decided they came across as a bit too unfriendly and pissy. Take aways were votes for V4nnim3l, Everybody Hurts and maybe Brown Word and the Big Whine (undecided on that last one).

Fish Heads is a pretty supreme comparison in my book.

Here’s the cover art I made for video fever, it’s Tony Snow, Lil Stump in the middle and me (10,258) on the right.
