Reviews for Watch It Burn (WIP)

[Little-Rena]

Distortion

I don't like the distortion in the middle, it really ruins it for me, it doesn't flow with the rest of the song or beat. The lyrics fit very well with the music, I know it seems a bit repetative in bits but it's got a very good beat to it and doesn't need the distortion to make it sound diffrent. The repeting of the words at the end doesn't work either, end on a letter and fade it out maybe.

The introduction has a good start to the whole beat and the singing is very good, I like it, I might not be too keen on the lyrics but they still work and the way "burn" is sung is nice, dunno why, I just like the way you've done it.

This song is a lot different than the one i reviewed yesterday by you which is really cool considering you still have the same staple sound from your band. Even though the lyrics do seem to be generic (like Jenbells mentioned), but that kind of adds to the Cajun Dance Party feel to it.

*what worked*:

1) The clean guitar in the background that basically set the beat and the tempo to the song. By 1:15, I started taking that guitar for granted but then it goes through subtle changes.

2) The bass is very subtle for this song, but it is playing exactly where I wanted it to.

3) Your voice just absolutely works for this song and others that I have heard from you. I enjoyed the transitions you go through throughout both the songs.

4) Though it seems to be not too special in the studio version, I would love to watch you guys play this song live or something. This seems like something that you can change around so much in.

*what did not work*

1) The song does not seem to be carrying a meaning and if it is, it is not conveying it clearly enough. It seems very Kurt Cobain-esque that the lyrics seemed to be written on a piece of scrap paper while drinking in a bar or something.

2) The transition at 1:48 seems to be very repulsive. All of a sudden your voice is dominated by effects and the chord change just did not work, so i'd recommend working on that.

sorry that was kinda long-winded but thats my two bits...

2. Yea it's very quiet (even for me with my bassy headphones) in the verses.
3. Thanks :)
4. Well when we do I'll post a video on youtube or something :) that, or you can come and watch ;)

1. Whilst I am a fan of nonsensical lyrics ( I love Beck) the meaning of this song is based around the struggle for freedom - I wrote it after reading Orwell's "Big Brother" . Other than that I am pretty crap at writing lyrics ;)

2. Yea, the transition isn't the best. This part of the song didn't have much work put into it. I'm going for a kind of "Beatles-esque" change. I'll definitely be figuring how best to go about this part before recording the final version.

Thanks

Very Oasis

A nicely written tune that really does have an easy listening quality to it. I think that you could do with taking that first few seconds of silence off the track, because no-one wants to think that their player might be broken, but that's only a minor niggle as things go.

The modulation was a little outlandish, so it could have been handled a little better, since the transition was quite rough and sudden, so perhaps making it a little smoother would have been the answer to this issue. I'm still thinking that the whole song is a good sounding piece, even though it's not really my type of music, so keep at it and I'll be interested to hear more of this stuff.

Quite good

The basic beat kind of makes me think of Silent Hill a bit, actually this could go quite well with a Silent Hill AMV, wouldn't mind seeing that. The song just seems to deliver to you what you need to hear.

Vocals: Really deliver the meaning and convey the message, very nice.

Drums: Quite a nice little drum beat, would be fun to play.

Guitar: Very nice little beat, bounces back and forth between two chords on the main beat and the odd breakdown sounds cool.

Bass: Also the least heard, sad but nice bass beat.

Overall: Very nice piece of work you did here, wonderful!!
