okay so I'm a little late in posting my reviews; but I'm just getting back to SongFight as of this week, and haven't really had time to listen to everything yet until now..
Adam Dachis> Adam, m'dear how can you sing like a girl?
Well, whoever she is, she's damn frickin' talented, this sounds like something.. theatre; but I presume that's exactly what you're going for. This is -very- well done, but the melody is too all-over-the-place for me. Good job though.
Censorship Committee> *beep* this. Brutal levels on everything; and the joke is just not *bleep*ing funny. The music, while annoying, is technically not horrible.. make a real entry next week, without the *beeping* *bleep* or get the *bleep* out of here.
Hot Tub Combo> You sing worse than me. Also most of the recording is really muddy; the lyrics are only slightly amusing; I hope you only plan to do the whole immature-kid-thing just this once; otherwise it's just not funny. Bah; it's 1:30 into it and I'm already sick of it.. I just keep listening because it's kind of funny. .. The instrumental part is my favorite.
Johnny in the Corner> As much as I like that type of guitar distortion; it doesn't really fit the song. Also, the accent, which I'm pretty certain is phony, is brutal. The keyboard in the chorus is way to tweety. Don't get me wrong though; everything else in the song is pretty sweet; and this is actually my favorite thus far.
Niveous> Awesome. I love the creepy atmosphere here, I just think the vocals would fit the spookiness better if you put maybe two tracks in, or a slight echo or something.
Oh Tomasio> I would love this if it were performed by the Mountain Goats; however, it is not and I assume what you're going for is Dashboard Confessional. I would like this a lot better if you removed the keys (?) in the background, and just had the guitar playing. Not bad, just not that good.
Phunt Your Friends> Can't tell what you're saying. This isn't really a song, is it?
Raven Pain> Ten seconds into this I was diggin' this more than anything I'd heard yet; but then OH FUCK. You had to ruin it. I was going to be really mean to you but you said it best about 26 seconds into this. I stopped listening at about 40. My ears have been raped and defiled.
Scott "da bomb" Wilson> I fail to see what makes you the bomb. And what the hell? Ten minutes of this? Oh, I get the joke. You're being to mean to me.. You and half of the other entries here.
Sell Crazy> Another actually good song. Don't care for the vocal style much, but you pull it off. Not my favorite, because it's not really my style at all; but it's executed perfectly. Congradulations on an awesome-ass job; and thank you very much for not hurting my ears.
Smalltown Mike> You know that Rancid album, Life Wont Wait.. or London Calling by the Clash? Two of my favorite albums ever, and you just set me on a nostalgia trip for that kind of reggaepunk. This is by far my favorite entry yet. The vocals could be better; but who am I to judge? Although I would recommend mixing them farther back just a teenie bit or, again, a slight echo. VERY GOOD SONG THOUGH.
Son Of Supercar> Oh man, I love Son of Supercar, and this song is freakin' awesome; HOWEVER. The vocals completely put me off. This would make for a cool-ass instrumental track though; that phaser sound just not do it for me.
My favorite: Smalltown Mike
Honourable mention: Son of Supercar, Niveous.

I'll pretend thats not rhetorical. It is in fact a song. You can note the presence of music and some words to go along with that music.chucky wrote:

The Censorship Committee / Raven Pain :
Totally not OK. Maybe, I this is a *huge* maybe, I wouldn't mind so much if it was actually a good song. But you shat all over your own song with distorted vocals that are WAY too loud, clipping all over the place, and are mostly unintelligible anyway.
Also: FUCK OFF.

Re: Tell me how much my song sucks (Mean to Me reviews)
So, on the 20th anniversary of my first SF win (shared with Sell Crazy), I'd like to say out loud what I knew at the time but didn't say.
Sell Crazy's song was far better than mine and they shouldn't have had to share their win with me. I was silver at best.
