Lyrics go here: viewtopic.php?t=12884I see your freckles, your hair is a mess.
But you're smiling now.
Close-up on your eyes.
In black and white.
I even see your crow feet wrinkles.
Such a beautiful sight.
What are you thinking about.
When there's no one around.
What are you dreaming of.
Deep inside your heart.
Supersaturated girl.

Re: You gotta keep 'em (Supersaturated reviews)
Some brief thoughts on this fight
Add:
Not usually a big fan of dominant chip sounds in songs but this completely won me over because the arrangement is clever, full of variety and not cliched in an obvious gaming way. The melody is great and the double vocals work very well. It has a quirky synth vibe of a Superorganism song. Really good stuff and probably my favourite from this fight.
Grid:
The music has an okay souly jazzy feel though I’d like the beat and general feel of the song to be tighter. Is that a real sax or a sample? Lyrics are fairly perculiar. I don’t get if there’s a coherent theme to them or not, though TBH that’s something I’ve been known to do before. This is short at 1.35 but that doesn’t include the 50 seconds of dead air at the end of the mp3 which I assume was an error and not some deliberate, obscure artistic statement
Grueling Slog:
I’m picking up an immediate Smiths/Johnny Marr vibe from the arrangement, playing style and the jangly guitar sound. Drums and bass both sound excellent and the arrangement is really tight. Very good vocals too. There are a few unusual chord shifts which I like, though some of them work better with the melody more than others. Didn’t see the need for the novelty ending.
IXTXI:
The vibe I’m getting is a sort of cinematic gothic metal. I can just about to make out the word supersaturated in the vocals but no idea about anything else. It’s pretty loud and full on with a big reverb-laden atmosphere evoking satanic subterranean caverns, etc.. It’s well enough put together but as a genre, I’m finding it hard to make a connection to it. There’s no space at the start of the song and the end cuts off super-abruptly too - I don’t get why anyone would edit an mp3 this way.
Joy Sitler:
I feel the mix could be improved. Both the very metallic/tinny cymbal and hi-hat and harsh distorted guitars are fairly coarse elements in the production. I’m also hearing an overall volume dip in places when the vocals come in – is there some sort of compression/sidechaining thing applied? All that aside though, this is a good sparky pop song which is pretty catchy melodically.
Zealous Noise:
Another short one. The song is okay though a few of the chord shifts are a bit ambiguous. I think this would feel more like a balanced song if the structure was re-worked. Perhaps returning to the gentler style of the first couple of verses after the heavy guitar section. The vocals all in the right channel is an unusual mix choice but not one I think works to any particularly great effect. I think they’d sound better with some more reverb too.

If I have my hack efforts on display, no reason your's shouldn't be as well
