[I Still Remember]

Sounds nice :) I love the tone of the guitar, like it sings!

Lublub194 responds:

I've especially loved the sound of a fender twin reverb. They always create an incredible tone.

I'm glad you enjoyed this!

[Eternal Pain]

Interesting... :) I liked it! As I also like John Murphy :) But it sounds very generic, also... try using different effects, or just playing with knobs, to try to get a unique sound.

Cilmeron responds:

Thanks - I appreciate your feedback and will try my best to improve in my future work :)

[Honey]

I love it :) its a quirky bittersweetness which makes it a nice listen, but it's almost too orderly until the awesome crescendo, where even tho the lyrics repeat, the arrangements are really surprising. it sounds like paul simon meets radiohead :) good stuff

Kingbastard responds:

Thanks man. I prefer to think of it as subtle development rather than orderly, allowing the end to have more impact, but I take your point onboard;)

Cheers for taking the time to comment.

[Nice Guys Turn Into Me]

This is really, really cool... it's catchy, poppy, hardcore, and discordant with the main riff at the beginning... dark and bright at the same time :)

Thanks alot man! i really wanted to do... well everything you observed, i wasn't entirely sure i succeeded but im glad that i did! thanks alot! I was actually worried the song would seem just a little bit bipolar, but I'm happy it works!

[Camp David (remix)]

respect.

respect. always respect for ACTUAL socio-political songs. rally songs. society songs. and any song with 'BDU' in the lyrics seems like my kinda thing lol
9/10 (but 5 stars) for the improved mix and addition of lyrics. i've just recently come to start posting lyrics all the time, so yeah. the 1 point off is basically just for the weird voice during the verses which i'm sure everyone else loves. it's weird to me, but it probably works for most people to subdue the utter seriousness of the lyrics, etc. it's just me.
keep up the good work. keep tellin' it. be well.

Ceevro responds:

HAHA! Yeah, somehow I worked BDU into the lyrics. The voice was kinda my take on what an old veteran from the south coast might sound like. I call the character Grillz-E, and I imagine he's probably been through so much he realizes that there really isn't much point in trying to be serious anymore. So he has fun tellin' it like it is.

[Faggot Sapiens - Utopia]

i love it!

this is great! the guitar work is sweet-sounding, then attacks the ears brutally :) i love the lyrics "yesterday contaminates tomorrow" and your voice is like sultry and also big and loud. great stuff, man. a gem for your archives :p

ShanZE responds:

Thanks man, I'm really glad you like it! I tried new things on this one, added strings and organs but in the end it still became this big noisy mess and I kinda like the way it turned out "wrong" :D

Always a pleasure to hear your opinion man, let's keep trying our best to make music good again!

[Underhand]

it shows, but that's not bad

yeah that bridge section is pretty cool, with a little doodle on the one string, and then how it returns for the closing bars... nicely done. the chords and transitions in between the riffs didn't really work for me, but i can imagine with the full band behind the guitar that might work out much better (solo guitars, "ooh yeahs," etc). i feel like each line of vocals was really too drawn out too long, and it made it all drag a little - but the lyrics are fascinating as hell, so yeah. 6.5 and 4'd

Bunk420 responds:

Thanks for your review man. This tune really needs a lot of work. It also sounds amazing on an electric. That bridge with the right distortion and reverb sounds amazing.
