Hey bdbdbucksKID
I listened to No Turnin' Round.
The stuff I liked:
1. Recording sounded very clean and well done.
2. I'm really digging your voice. Very nice sound.
3. I really like naked arrangements
(guitar & vocal - shame on you)
4. The
acoustic guitar sounded great to me.
5. Possibly a very good hook if it is well developed.
The stuff I didn't so much like:
1. The first two verses of the song hit me as being one cliche after another. (act my age, not my IQ. Pain in the ass but i still love you. Pain in the ass, cut me some slack...)
2. The song seemed sort of disjointed to me. It seemed like a lot of snapshots, but not a movie. I really didn't get a sense of continuity from verse 1 to verse 2 to chorus....etc. I really never got a sense of what was going on in the song, or what the point of it was.
3. Some of the rhymes seemed a little forced to me. Style / Guile kind of sounded forced to me ....well maybe on another listen that's the only one that slapped me this time.
Why I'm looking over your shoulder:
1. I owe your Dad a review on something that I just haven't been getting around to. Actually listening now...maybe i can post one up before he notices I did yours first
.
Nothing to be ashamed of here as far as I'm concerned. Plus I'm no expert...so YMMV.
