["K" - Y&C]

Decent, things to improve on -

There are good and bad things about this song, I'm going to give a very critical review, so please take it in stride to becoming a better musician. As you said, all reviews appreciated.

First the good, the structure of the song works, verse/chorus wise. You also have an interesting voice, though it needs to open up a little. The lead guitar actually works very well and really helps paint the picture for a nice sounding love song. It sounds good.

As for what needs work, you need to open up your voice, it's not a bad voice and your not particularly out of tune, but it's very nasally at times, like your singing from your throat. At the moment it would work punk rock wise, but that's about it. With proper practice, you could sound great, I can hear it.

There's obviously some time issues which you mentioned, some wrong notes, and the backing guitar is out of tune a little. But you mentioned these issues so I will ignore them.

As far as lyrics go, their not particularly inspiring or clever, to me at least. It's a love song about a girls lips, hair, and not to be scared, you'll love each other forever. Their not BAD lyrics, but they don't exactly paint a interesting picture or are original to any other love song.

Also, this is under grunge, but this is more of an Acoustic/Rock Love Ballad.

Anyways, hope this gives a good idea, and I"m being really critical, keep up the good work! I rated 4/5 and 8/10.

WEll a critical review is what i need. i appreciate it.

Thank you for the comment on song structure, as for my voice yeah. i'm not the most experianced vocalist but im learning i suppose.

Yes, another thing about my voice i didn't mention is I had been ill the day i recorded this song, i had some form of cold/chest thing. But even without it my voice would need work.

yeah, i wasnt sure about the genre.

thank you very much it was a helpful review, and thank you, i'll keep doing music and i hope to hear a review from you again one day. thanks for the rating.

Alright

It does sound outta adult swim. It should be a loop though. Also, there's a weird bleep at the 1:10 mark.

And yea it's a arcade riff from the AA Vengeance House pack 2, lolol.

Good Voice, Wish I could make out the words

I liked it, but I have to agree that it was difficult to understand what you were saying at time, and in this style of music what your saying is the most important. Your voice sound greats though.

PIED3 responds:

Wow, people actually like my voice! Awesome, thanks for the review and due to the positive response excpect to see more stuff like this from me :) Yeah i agree it is kinda hard to hear what im saying, lyrics have been added to description.

You didn't deserve the zero bomb

Well Done, listened to it twice, one of the few electronic songs I could get though.

Groovebot responds:

Thanks a bunch! Always good to hear. :-)

[Nerd Party]

Good Stuff!

The chorus is catchy, the back-up vocals sound awesome! The verses weren't bad either. Overall the song sounds awesome, but here's a little constructive criticism -

The drums are good, but occasionally sound slightly sloppy. Maybe playing to a drum machine?

The bridge was...meh...not bad but not interesting, weird, catchy or a build-up.

This would just be a suggestion, while keeping the beginning chorus the same, the roll roll part, maybe switch up the end lyrics a couple times to add interest, as you play the chorus alot.

Overall though, Its stuck in my head.

slackmatic responds:

I agree 100%. This is deffinetly a rough version. I hoping to get a more fleshed out version recorded with my full band. Thanks for the critique.

Hey Fred

This is my favorite so far of your material, I like how it doesn't sound too digital or synth, the bass line sounds like a real bass and it's got an awesome theme.

Well Done

Sounds great, the translated lyrics would be nice :)

[She Got Scared]

Well done

Well Done, I wound't worry about the intro, it sets the mood.
