Guest AmbientMood Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 'I coulda sworn they stopped making music like this in 85!'Drums sound good, guitar sounds nasty and cheap, vocals sound good.Theres a general aura of cheesy Julia-Roberts-80s-romantic-comedy.

Guest AmbientMood Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 I agree, why? It doesn't matter how the hell it was recorded so long as it sounds good, sounding good being the objective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spellchecker Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 for what it's worth, i actually agree with stuart.the intro sets the scene for something that the song doesn't deliver - the stark contrast in style and eq between the intro and the song just sounds wrong, to me.the song itself is based on some pretty cheesy riffs, and to be honest sounds like a poor wildhearts b-side. i feel bad saying that actually, because wildhearts b-sides are for the most part as good and often better than their album tracks. the bass and guitar melodies are slightly reminiscent of them nonetheless.the breakdown clich at about 3 minutes seems like a wasted opportunity to throw something different into the song. hey, it's your song and that's what writing is about, expressing things how you feel and want. but i would have at least had the vocalist singing over it and the bass doing something more expressive.the vocals are ok, but are pretty lacklustre. the voice sometimes reminds me of shirley manson, but without the balls. i can see her voice going one of a couple of ways, like shirley manson, if the song suited it better and she could be a bit more aggressive whilst holding onto the tuning and softer dynamic ranges in other areas; or she could go for the punk yelpy thing that sharon from the videos seems to do quite well. and that girl from bis. when she was in bis.it's just very pub rock, which i think is such a tired and crowded area to place your songwriting efforts into. the guitar solo at the end only helps to push it further into pub rock territory.it depends what you like i suppose. i've had similar feelings before about another band that had a girl singer up front (think it may have been girl said no, but not sure), it just seems like such a waste. girls are totally different vocally to guys, and to me it sounds like she is trying to sing like a bloke. i usually prefer girls to sing much more delicately, or much more aggressively, or at least a mix of styles to keep the interest there.for example, there's a girl in a band locally called 67, and she has a beautiful voice - but when i saw them live, she seemed to sing the same sort of parts - that very delicate, very high, elizabeth fraser sort of ethereal sound. i was going to say beth gibbons (noting as well that 67 do a cover of a portishead song), however beth gibbons has a huge range and uses loads of vocals styles when she sings from high and spacey to gravelly and dirty.a good example of someone local (well, was local) that knows their voice and knows where it is suited is jo mccafferty. apart from the fact that she is a technically good singer, she does the dynamics thing very well with her voice, and doesn't need to extend over a great pitch range to show a variety of emotional styles in her vocal (even though she can and does).

Moyzie Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 It's Sunday morning and now I am awake. Objective achieved methinks. I liked it, got loads of energy and punch about it. Good stuff. Catchy as fuck riff with some strong vocals. Agree about the intro though, it belongs on a completely different song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
