History of My Broken Heart REVIEWS:
<u><b>_____________________ TOP OF THE CHARTS _____________________________________</B></U>
<u><b>Billy's Little Trip feat. Wages :</b></u> GREAT FUCKING SONG. On the first listen i was like "shit, Billy has changed his tone" took me a while to realize it was wages. Great marriage of music(Billy) and vocals(wages)...
Billy no more need to beat around the bush, just go straight to wages whenever you need vocals.
love the line "driving home drunk in my car", can just picture wages driving an old beat up Chevy truck in the music video.
<u><b>Melvin :</b></u> yippy.. Bring in the pop, Sir McCartney. Such a good classic Melvin tune (tambourine included). Very smart and well written, specially love the line "history of earth the sky and the stars". Your the shit, and Canadian. Have you explained before how you record your drums? Their always so crisp, clear and crunchy.
<u><b>Kristin :</b></u> soft spacious intro...bring in the strings, start building the tension...now the drums to release it...sounds like a formula...
Are you a chemist? Now the songs starts and am digging it.
Reminds me of "too much of a good thing" by the Sons from the Dumb And Dumber soundtrack. Liking the lyrics. Digging the vocals, and this tune overall dude... don’t like the intro that much.
<u><b>Hans Gruber: Ultimate Villain :</b></u> One of my favorites from the fight. Smooth music, with smooth vocals. The electric guitar and horns combo is swweeatt! Lyrics are good. Great song overall.
<u><b>Paco Del Stinko :</b></u> liked the transition between the intro and the song.. i would love to classified this into a box, but just can't.
A bit funk, a bit spoken word, plus jazz, plus rock, plus progressive with some trashing? It’s really a joyest wall of sound.
Interesting lyrics, but the guitar playing really steals the show.
<u><b>The Hell Yeahs :</b></u> Short, fast and bouncy. The best part of the song is the chorus with the long "aaahhhh". And for some reason Heather's vocal’s not only sound smoother than before, but also sound very relaxed (if that makes any sense).
<u><b>Ross Durand :</b></u> yeahhha. country-folky. The "heroes and villains" line is killer. well sung, with good performance. Also like how your message is very clear and simple, no complications (but then again that’s country/folk). Wish the mix was better, maybe a bit more airy, like sung in the Grand Canyon or something. Great song tho.

ohh right your song... very short and simple guy and guitar. vox/guitar mix is good, and the tone of the acoustic sounds great.
Their are some really good 1 liner's, like the "I won’t ask for your final answer", but overall the lyrics don’t tie together to paint a clear picture of what your trying to say (either that or am an idiot).
now your vox; always been a fan of your voice and after discovering Rufus Wainwright and reading some of his reviews, i can describe your voice as "timberus". timmmmberrrr. good song.
<u><b>Embers of Autumn :</b></u> decent song, specially the music, it's a shame about the mixing.
the vocals are too dry, a bit of reverb on the vocals could help out soften them... the "hhhhuuuuuu" sounds good thought.
<u><b>Lonbobby :</b></u> swweeat, swweeat cinematic music. just don’t like the semi-synth vocals. The arrangement of the music is awesome tho.
<u><b>Rabid Garfunkel :</b></u>What an odd and explosive fucking tune this is. Half circus music, half spy/detective groove, with a touch of both madness and toonish. Best part, listening to the sheer chaos of the electric guitar, and smooth calmness of the trombone/clarinet combo at the same time. The "aaahhgg" are understandable due to the title, but is a killer instrumental none the less.
<u><b>Senza Valore :</b></u> groovy beat and mood. specially with the sample "my broken heart". Wish the levels on the vocals where higher.
a bit long as it doesn’t have many changes. still smooth.
<u><b>Sheail :</b></u> ..... mmmmm. ... not sure... music is good, singing is good, but for some reason it doesn’t move me that much. Maybe it needs a more flanboyent drummer, as the drums are pretty boring compare with everything else. Guitar playing and bass work is awesome though.
<u><b>_____________________ OK SONGS _____________________________________</B></U>
<u><b>Bushido Stylus :</b></u> i like this more than i would like to admit. just cuz it's a smart take on the title. When everybody else was thinking hey, broken heart = relationships, this geeky MOFO thought; HEY! Zelda. Like the music and story telling lyrics, and for the record i always hated fucking Zelda!
<u><b>KB Bren :</b></u> WOW! 3 guitars to start off the song. they don't sound 100% on time. i like the voice, hard to understand the lyrics at times.
too many guitars, all at once.. too busy for my taste. could use a better mix, to bring the bass up more.
<u><b>Klownhole :</b></u> 7:27! bring it on! too much treble on the drums, not enough bass. guitar tone sounds good tho. Really like the drums on this, but they come off as flat and with no punch on the mix. i hope this is sloowwly building up ... to something. vocals+lyrics seemed to be more for textural effect, than anything else. starting to draggg. where's your bass player? okk now its starting to imploded, with the organ+drums getting crazier. Really like the overall texture of the song, once the mind gets into it. Best part: the drums (even if recorded/mixed poorly)
<u><b>Lord of Oats :</b></u> another 7+ minutes songs? bring it on! Good Acoustic intro.. hey, what? ahhhhhhh... balls to the walls rock.
Digging the intro so far, and silent gaps between symbols and guitar, the thumping is great too.
You can't follow up a balls out intro like that, with some guy signing like he's about to go to sleep! it fuck's with peoples heads.
Like the music, but the tired(flat) kid in the bedroom is killing the energy of the music. the screaming didn’t help.
<u><b>veGetar Ianra Ge :</b></u> uhhh , am i on a island? What some guy on the answer machine? good lounge singing. Laid back and groovy music. The answer machine bit is annoying as hell tho, did u run out of lyrics? ohh some horns on this song would have awesome. ahh we do have a flute. Remove the lame answer machine and bring up the bass to give it some dynamics.
<u><b>MC Eric B :</b></u> Cynical midi soft nerdcord ballad?
I relate allot to your thoughtful writing style, not just this song but your previous songs as well. This songs just sounds bland, nothing in the music stands out (mixing wise) theirs no distinction of individual instruments, just one musical track with all the instruments blended into something.
at least bring up the vocals in the mix a bit more, so it doesn’t completely blend with the background music.
<u><b>Tig :</b></u> this reminds me of another artist, just cant remember. Soft and long. Decent song, just a bit slow and long for taste right now.
Could use a better mix, as no 1 instrument stands out.. Just one long droning track.
<u><b>The Weakest Suit :</b></u> Interesting intro. I like the "i love u.. Shaking like a leaf..." part. The bass seems to be slightly behind the band. Singing is not bad at all.
<u><b>_____________________ TRY AGAIN _____________________________________</B></U>
<u><b>AUDIO VIDEO iNTERCOURSE :</b></u>
ummmmmmm, needs more bass? too much noise not enough thumping.
<u><b>Blues Train Blues in D :</b></u> introducing the song? heh?
like the low tone of your voice, too bad it doesn’t blend in to well with the guitar playing. better recording set up might help out next time.
<u><b>Slit Tearduct :</b></u>........ Good finger picking? at least she didn’t break your finger.
