The Fight: 2nd out of 15 Entries
Blind Mime:
The drum machine feels too loud except during the break out at the end. You always have such good melodies, plus I just love the sound of your voice too.Puce:
Ah, a refreshing clean mix. This is one of the first songs I've heard from you that doesn't have a low tuned acoustic in it (just an observation). Catchy, poppy, awesome. How did you do that bassline? You've earned that bit-rate.
Vocals and Lyrics: Good and good. Minus half a point for using 'crap' frequently. 9/10
Production: You have the good fortune of coming after a painfully reverbed muddy song: your song is crisp, bright, and awesome. I don't like the drums, but that's personal preference, and I appreciate that you've varied your drum sound. 9/10
Songwriting: Just the right amounts of pop arrangement and talented guitar work. 9/10
Enjoyability: This is a great track. By the end the song is perfectly hooky. 10/10Eddiebangs:
I appreciate what you did, but it just aint doin it for me. Some cool stuff in the mix though. Nice panning on the hi-hat part. I also like the harmonies. The guitar soloing in the background is cool too. HEY! I have the market cornered on bells! Cut it out! Haha When the drums kick in it sounds a little thin, maybe a little too much high end? And as a side note, I found it amusing how you commented on my crummy mix, because it was your review of my hot Fight the Sea entry that made me try some new stuff. Ill get it right one of these days Anyway, back to your review- Im must admit, as I listened a second and third time it grew on me. I hear a few clips here & there possibly the drums? I like the lyrics. The mix was not your usual brilliance, but the song is pretty cool.. A-Fried:
Another good safe song from you. Good song.Roymond:
Wow, pop sensitivity. I like that climbing sequence of chords. Nice rhythm guitar part, and great thin tone. The key bass is out of place, though, maybe friends with the drum machine. Youve got a great depth in the arrangement. As usual. Nice!VP1:
As usual, great songwriting and arranging. Its seamless and smooth and theres always something interesting going on. However, lyrically its weak. The chorus is catchy but the lyrics dont really fit rhythmically.Kamakura:
I've only been here for three weeks and already I hate you. This came soooo close to being fucking incredible. However (I'm glad I can put this in for the sake of your head) You need a band (at least drums), also more time to tighten up the odd semi quaver, re-mix it then... I also really liked the auto-panned hi-hat and the lyrics are good as well. Fuck... ;)Poor June:
ok so you always make songs i like... i'll probably burn all your songfight songs before i leave... and this isn't gonna be left out... love the sound you get... and you always make your lyrics interesting... maybe i just like this sort of stuff... like the how it kinda goes from the verse into the guitar pick part... really well put together stuff... you could've had a pretty cool little fast bell riff... the bell is so soundin' sort of metronome like... it should have sort of a half beat at some point... kind of like a nice little riff every few beats... sort of how they do on most rap songs... atleast the good ones haha... really good stuff... tops pos. vote...C Hack:
Ha! Great song, as usual. Well-done. The hard-panned hi-hat isn't working for me. The only other thing I can say is you have sort of a poppy sound that doesn't really appeal to me, but that's just my opinion. This is a very strong song. I really like how the lyrics are the opposite of whiny. Definite contender. You should do a show at Club Passim here in Cambridge -- you'd go over well there. Woodward is still ahead in my book though; I think he has a stronger song this week. I'm not sure if I can articulate why I think that. If Kapitano would've had better lyrics and a good singer, he could've taken this one. But he didn't, so Woodward gets it no problem.Maasman:
Stunning production, once again. The beginning sounds like something you could hear on a contemporary country record, like Martina McBride or something. Very nice. I don't know what everyone's talking about, the panned hihats are fine with me. I like hearing that much wideness. The lyrics are kinda bland, but the subject matter is pretty everyday/ordinary stuff so I guess that's to be expected. The little instrumental pre-chorus takes too long - you write nice choruses, don't make us wait so long for it to hit, or throw some lyrics in there. Really don't like the word "crap" here. Oh wow, really great repeat of the title line with the background vox and ride cymbal. Thought for sure the full drums were coming in the second verse. They come in so late I don't get to enjoy them. The ending feels sudden. Nice tune, though.Hoblit:
Josh, good work ...almost. I really liked the 'sound' ...Leaf 62:
I don't know what it is, but it seems that all the stuff you right lately strikes me with this protective, totally digging it mentality. When I first heard you a few months ago, you sounded (to my perception at the time) like a guy with tons of talent and songs that meant nothing to me. Now, who knows why I feel/hear it differently now. I suppose if I have time I'd go back and relisten to those old ones and see if it was just perception. No matter. This song is great I think. It sounds like a song I'd hear on the radio, but I wouldn't think of it as a "pop" song. Good energy in your voice. Talented, but saying something interesting too.
