Reviews for "Saving Face Machine"

Another

Another great song from +Ross. You once again show off your exceptional talent for writing clever and multi-layered lyrics, your great vocal skills, and your ability to craft a unique experience with every song you make, taking listeners on a trip through the human psyche, going past the surface of the song and offering insight into the essence of what it means to be human, to be flawed.

now thats a great review!

^_^

This is (for some reason), my top faviourites of all your songs. One problem is, I'm now torn between the two versions now. I don't know how to explaine it so I'll explaine it this way.

Nirvana's "polly"
On the nevermind album it delivers a dark and some what revealing side of the song, like sometimes the song feels like Kurt's playing it for you.
THEN
The incesticide version of the same song, is all cleaned up you could say (not in a bad way). And It's all KICK KICK PUNCH PUNCH POLLY WANTS A CRACKER. And it feels like the song (even though its the same) Is totally different, allmost like it's in a different dimension you could say.

So I don't know If I explained it well, if i didn't ...oh hell.... I just made myself look like an idiot...
So heck, have a ten
Peace

i actually went back and listened to both versions after reading this, and the "polly" off of the muddy banks album (which is somewhere in the middle of the two as far as sound). the two studio versions are in different keys, which i found interesting. acoustic polly is lower, which is actually the opposite of what i was expecting. but you're right, it's like the two versions have different focuses. new wave version seems like it was just an attempt to have another fast song in the live lineup. but the acoustic version the focus is on the lyrics and the mood of the song. the lyrics take center stage with hardly any drum or bass accompaniment, probably to get that exact effect, of kurt singing directly to you. intimacy. privacy. sexiness. although, when you think about what the song's about, i'm not sure that intimacy with the song's narrator is such a good thing. but does it matter to a nirvana fan? nope!
thanks for the ten.

Unique and Awesome

It has a weird wonky Nirvana esk feel and still reminds me of the Beatles. I think of Pennyroyal Tea and I am The Walrus when I hear this song. The artist deserves all the praise he gets on Newgrounds.

Masterful ^_^

"Can i please have some more?"

At the least i could see this as an opening son for a T.V show that was my first thought and then it got better, you could leave the music by itself and it would be enough for me. Great work, hope to see more sssssoooooooooonnnnn.

Not bad

keep it up man!
