kill (you already know this is really quiet. it is pretty good but it cheeses me off when the next song blasts my speakers. also, the phrase "snotty sleeves" maybe should not appear in a song

Or maybe it should appear in EVERY song

Well the votes are in and the results show that all 8 family members I told Song Fight about voted for me
I had my money on J Seavers, but good fight everybody and thank you all for the valued input.

the drum programming still has a bit of a way to go (the way the hi-hat copies the kick drum cracks me up cos it reminds me of myself attempting to play the drums)
You're going to have the blame the Yamaha corporation for that. The DD-6 is not a programmable or MIDI-controllable drum machine.. what you hear is the built-in "Speed Metal" patch, slowed back down a bit.

When I think 'speed metal' I think 'Yamaha'

Well yeah! I mean who doesn't? Congrats to Uncle Boltoph and the Deshead Kid for winning, now stop doing that and give the rest of us a chance will ya?
Thanks to everyone who did reviews, very comprehensive and useful. In a fight as big as this one was, 2 things really stand out for me. The overall quality of the competition and the number of reviews that were written. Outstanding job everyone.

I’m sorry I’m late getting to these. I seem to have completely F!$*#$% up my neck, and am contending with big pain. Apologies if my reviews seem a trifle curmudgeonly. I’m drinking wine and moping under the heat pad. This fight, like the other in this round, was pretty uniformly great. If I dismissed your song with little more than a “not really doing it for meâ€

Roymond: I’m not a huge fan of chorus – the effect, that is. I’d back off of it on your guitar. The comparatively un-effected vocals end up in too distinct a place from those chorus-y guitars.
Yeah, I had run out of time for the first deadline and then had none the second week to touch this and so it is a bit unfinished production and otherwise. It is a bit unbalanced that way...you're right!
