Yeah, well, after the direction the prefight thread went, what else could I do? I probably should have changed where it says "Enzyte" to say "Songfight," but... woulda, coulda, shoulda...Caravan Ray wrote:Heh! Nice cover art, King!

This is the other track I did, but I ended up working with another band more than 'just a producer' as I planned, so I decided not to submit this. I thought I'd share it here though, because I like how it turned out (mostly.)

Wow, this one went up fast.

synfonyc - I'm not a bob dylan fan. So I can't really judge this honestly.
Jeffrey Davis - Okay, I didn't think this was particularly good, but that didn't stop me from enjoying it. Good job. I think.
The Flight and the Grand Design - There's something a little odd with the eq and dynamics, it just felt really pressed somehow. But, that didn't stop this from being really good. Maybe bring up the guitar a tad and bring down the snare a tad.
Daring Front - Awesome. Good job with the vocals. There's a little high end artifacting, but I think that's from the mp3 compression. There seems to be a bit of overlap with the epiano and vocals, maybe notch down the eq a bit on one of them (likely the epiano).
Mind Map That - Thank you. This is not the kind of thing I expect to hear here. My only criticism would be that the trianglish shaker drums get a bit grating. And perhaps I would gone with a slightly different reverb on the vocals, but that's a minute preference.
Billy and the Psychotics - I won't lie, I looked forward to this because I liked your prior entries. I'm partially dissapointed that it's the same style, but I'm also happy because your good at it. I'm still a fan and this is something I'd put in my iTunes library.
Anomaly Jonez - Solid vocals, but there's something really weird sounding about the EQ/recording, which is a real shame. The vocals distract from the music, which seems well produced, but it's hard to really tell with the vocals the way they are. It sounds a tad thin, except the bass.
Styop quoons - the high hat sound was so grating it made me want to turn the song off. Otherwise, it was alright.
Yyarrell Brothers Band - wow, much louder than the other tracks, but not overcompressed sounding in a bad way. Good job! Well produced sound overall.
Notorious FAP - This should be right up my ally, but perhaps this is a little too 'old school' for my tastes. But I think you got the style done well vocally, if you were going for the cheesy 90s rap sound (sorry if you weren't haha). I didn't like the chorus at all though. Strange ending, and I appreciate that.
EggNogAdam - Vocals are too loud for my tastes, but well done. I dig the whole track and the lyrical flow.
MC Who Izzy - Well, these vocals are way too low. And song doesn't hold up by itself, it's too repetitive.
deetak - Good job! I wanted to hear drums come in, but I got violin. That works too. I would still like drums to come in later on though. Or another surprising instrument.
The National Frontbottom - Great job. I would have gone for a different effect on the main vocals, but it works. Fun use of sound too.
Paco Del Stinko - Another entry I was looking forward to! I preferred the sound of your last entry a bit more, but I definitely dig this one too. I LOVE the bass sound. The whole track is mixed great.
sep - within the first few seconds, I figured out this was either going to be a really cool track, or... well, not. Sadly, I felt it was the latter.
ebola-cide - there's an odd bass resonance to the kick, not sure if I like it or not. Definitely overcompressed and the vox are too boomy. The violinish sound isn't happy. You should kill it. But I dig the guitar.
Juliet's Happy Dagger - Nathaniel's happy ears! Good bass sound, along with everything else. I can hear a little filtering from the mp3, but it still sounds good in the highs mostly. I dig the vocals and guitar. Also, I should embed my logo into my mp3s, not sure why I never thought to do that.
Torrentz - It seems rap is one of those genres that I often hear very badly produced, sort of a modern punk garageband sound, but thankfully I don't hear that here. And a good chorus! I felt the overall eq and compression could use a little work, but still, good job.
hillbilly - wow, that's a LOT of hiss. And some strange panning.
bgm - Well produced, performed, and sung. The only complain I have is the drum panning, which started off fine, but got annoying by the chorus. Still, that didn't stop this from being great. I like the theremin sound too.
Odoriferous Vally - I like the mix, but I feel the overal mastering could use a bit of polish. The vocals are a little off for my tastes at times, but that kind of works here. I like the guitar work a lot, maybe bring the guitars up a tad. Good bass too (how many times have I said that this fight?).
Hostess Mostess - This is a really cool track, I wish it had a better mix though. Hell, send it to me, I'll remix it if you want! If I liked the mix more, I'd say this one was the best song I think. I'm serious about sending it to me btw. Great job.
King Ginger - I'm not a fan of the vocal effect at all. I can understand what you're saying, but that sort of things happens sometimes. I like synth sound, but the drums get repetitive, as does the piano.
Berkeley Social Scene - I think i just like bass, but here's yet another bass sound that cuts through well. Unfortunately, I hear lots of clipping with the guitar that's distracting. The whole thing feels harsh. If I have to pick between dull and harsh, I'll usually pick dull. This just kind of hurt my ears. There's a good song here though I think.
Bad Boys at Bat Mitzvahs - I like the music a good bit, but it somehow feels a bit stagnant. Maybe some tempo changes?
Anothony Butterfield - Interesting choice. You nail that old sound for the most part, but somehow the drums don't live up to it and end up sounding fakey, though I'm not sure why, as they aren't particularly bad samples. Maybe it's the panning? Good song though.
Dejected Motives - I should note that I'm one of those weirdos who hates autotune. So, obviously, I just plain don't like this.
Jeffrey Davis - Okay, I didn't think this was particularly good, but that didn't stop me from enjoying it. Good job. I think.

It was good to hear that one review that i got so far- im well aware of my poor recording capabilties- they are limited- It is alot of work to record a song alone. (Drums, guitar, bass, synth, vocals, as well as writing and mixing.) -its alot to focus on for just one guy, but i very much enjoy doing it and always want to improve. Next time it will sound better, i promise. Thanx for listening. ('The Flight & the Grand Design')

Just a quick reminder, as I am won't to do, that your contribution to the lyrics thread for this fight is very much appreciated.
On another note, OH MY GOD WHAT A BIG FIGHT! I'm going to review, but I just might have to do it in stages. At the moment, it's bed time for little French Professors...

I hear ya.
I got really excited with this and wrote recorded and submitted in 1 day. Should've spent a little longer with the complexity but i was going for a video game feel to the instruments. Really dig what you've done.

3-performance-the synthbass riff was awesome, till the rest of the song started
2-production-vocals need EQing, tuning & mixing. there's software for all that.
*Styop Quoons
OOOH! album art!
2-writing-got a bit samey, needs some variation
3-performance-a few vocal sidewayses
4-production-finally, someone who knows where the vox should be
*Synfonyc
this makes me want drugs.
2-writing-needs some variation
2-performance-not a fan of the vocals
2-production-sounds like your moving to/away from the mic
*Torrentz.eu
Ice-T meets Prodigy? nice.
4-writing-love the chorus
5-performance-good voice for rap, and the chorus was sweet
4-production-my only request is that you please talk to Paco.
*the Yyarrell Brothers Band
beautifully dirty
3-writing-some catchy hooks, but the riff got a bit old
4-performance-pulled it off nicely
3-production-I don't know what trick the pros use to keep guit distortion from muddying the vocal distortion, byt that's not it
whew. that was a large fight.

Wow..1st off you guys are totally awesome! This is such a cool site, I love the idea and endless possiblities. I listen and review a lot of instrumental music but this really got me going..I love it..it's like a box of chocolates!!
2nd I have very little techinical and production skills, slowly I'm becoming my own engineer so I can only say what I like and if it did anything for me...3rd I have the attention span of a house fly so I'm going to have to break up these reviews.
So here are a couple from tonight :
AG Beats, Viktor Walters, and Nate C - strange, strange but the thing is, it's interesting, you have this tone in your voice that is very interesting, not sure about the story, but the beauty of it is, made me listen twice just to figure it all out. didn't happen but cool trip anyways.
AntBut - I like it, soft and mellow, great melody, drifting by like a summer breeze and it reminds me of the song too. I really like the changes in the music, nicely done.
Bad Boys at Bat Mitzvahs- It's got this bouncy country vibe to it, hard not to move and smile while listening, good job.
More later,
Ms. Jonez
PS looking foward to next week's theme..though the only french I know is " french fries and crepes" but I'm going to be on it like a fat kid at a cupcake stand. ;p AJ

Typical American knowing nothing of a foreign culture unless it feeds the face. You are all so fat and ignorant.

Typical Victorian. Always having to think up nancy-boy ways of saying chips and shit. Doesn't matter if you drizzle them with jews and cover the bastards with rocket - they're still chips.Denyer wrote: Pommes frites et crepes
And BTW - it is not a freaking "cantaloupe" - it's a rockmelon.

I had some cantaloupe the other day. I don't know why you'd want to eat something called a rockmelon.
I do like this song though

What's wrong with being fat or ignorant?
As long as I have google and utube nothing will be a mystery to me..so at any point and time I accept being ignorant because it can be undone, thus so with being fat.
Sorry your solutions to being a valid person are not so easily obtained.
I have to go google common french words to use in my song now..all will be settled on the battle field.

thank everyone for the reviews thus far, mine are slowly in the making... but first some responces
i honestly dont know who corb lund is... just googled... wow, that's a canadian cowboy if ive ever seen one.
it is stagnant... there are no changes... it even flippin fades out at the end... what a lazy bastard i was... did i just record one bar and loop that thing? yeah, i did...bubblepipemedia wrote: Bad Boys at Bat Mitzvahs - I like the music a good bit, but it somehow feels a bit stagnant. Maybe some tempo changes?
i will go out on a limb and tell you: there is no chorus. it is two verses stuck together with some diddling in the middle. the chord progression doesn't change once the entire song.signboy wrote: *Bad Boys At Bat Mitzvahs
did you hire Corb Lund?
3-writing-chorus doesn't stick out from verse much
4-performance-you pulled off a decent country song
4-production-then you recorded & mixed it well

yes... bouncy and "make-you-wanna-move" are what i was going for. i was gonna write a funny story too... but this was what came outAnomalyJ wrote: Bad Boys at Bat Mitzvahs- It's got this bouncy country vibe to it, hard not to move and smile while listening, good job.

I keep wanting to do something funny, but it just doesn't really happen. It always ends up being pseduofunny or serious. I felt like I managed to insert some funny lines in our song, but felt a little sad I couldn't find a way to insert 'get your ass to mars'.
