Lizards Against Jesus

Author Comments

apocalyptic psychedelic rock


Written and recorded for the KO round of the N G A U C


Lyrics:


These prints, our makers
These lizards prints
These prints, our makers
These lizards prints


(ooohhh)


And Jesus comes through
his master plan (x2)


Gotta keep this in focus
Got a firm face in the mirror
Takes me back when we eroded
In the stars, people are crowded


These prints, our makers
These lizards prints
These prints, our makers
These lizards prints


(-- Have you ever fucked in space?--)


(ooohhh)


Pyramids falling down
All the books burnt to the ground
Pyramids falling down
Life is full of pesticide


(repeated)

Are these lyrics have religious, occult meaning or they just a surreal babble?

fearing responds:

yes

I wasn't your judge this time, but for what it's worth, I really liked this one too. I was a bit surprised that it ended up getting *such* a lower score than your previous track. I mean, it's not *quite* as good, sure, and perhaps the vocals are a little further back at points than I would have preferred, but man!

The overall vibe from this one is just so awesome. I was really surprised to hear such an effective and successful style transition from you (while still retaining your psychedelic style). The "Pyramids falling down" section is just so wonderfully chilling. Apocalyptic psychedelic rock, indeed!

Again, I didn't assign you a score because I wasn't your judge, but I would have given this something like a 9/10. Super cool track.

I like the mood you were going for here. I think this track has serious balance issues, though. The lyrics are really hard to make out, and the drums would've moved the track along much better if they were a lot louder. I would experiment with some compression and panning techniques to help the vocals and drums come through a bit more. It also seemed that you put some sort of distortion on the vocals, which was perhaps over-done. The lyrics themselves are pretty cool, though. I think the structure of this piece is a little hard to discern. You don't do a lot with dynamic contrast, and some of your transitory moments needed some smoothing over. 1:44, for example, came on very suddenly. I also think this piece lacks any sort of intro, apparently launching right into a verse. The ending was also a bit lazily done IMO, as fade-out endings often are. I did enjoy the psychedelic aspect of it, though. The mood was dark, apprehensive, and even cautionary. I think you overused the main riff (:45) by the end. Creating more variation in that regard would help give the piece more direction. I also might help keep the listener grounded structurally if you brought the volume way down at 2:17. Still, this is a pretty creative idea for a piece, and (despite my complaints about the balance) the production quality seems pretty high. If you added a bit more structural contrast here, I think this would be a really solid piece! Keep at it, Fearing. ;)

7/10

On the levels of epic this scores high!

My favorite part is at 1:48

Sounds like it was mastered by a high pay studio engineer :3

This is outstanding work! I can see I've got my work cut out for me, if I wanna keep up!
