One thing in lovesong's review confused me though (but of course I will take it on board) but what does "I’d also advise you to double word placement and rhyme, little things like that can make all the difference" mean? |
double check*
Sorry about that

Average table will not be posted, that's just what I'm using to compile the raw data.
Results will be hosted in about 17.5 hours, where a leaderboard with all of your average scores will be posted.

Remember that one judge's opinion is not likely to drastically affect you. Since this is the first round and there are probably a few who didn't submit I don't that it'll be like a huge elimination.

Oh that really helps! But sorry to be a pain in the ass but do you mind explaining that further? I'm not 100% sure what you mean  Like check the words I use to rhyme because they sound forced? Or the syllables in my rhyme?
Definitely taking it on board though

I hope there's still some people here, because the mystery judge's comments are coming as soon as I add lovesong's to the OP!

No problem! Yes I did find a few were kind of forced, sort of rhyming for the sake of rhyming but that's easy enough to adjust. In terms of word choice, I sort of just put that out there when I feel like someone is using words that felt a bit awkward. Like I get the idea of what you're saying but I think saying it in a different way would help make your song more effective.

OH dd I didn't think it was shade it's just that I wasn't sure if I was being confusing.
By the way this is as I mentioned my first time judging. As you can probably tell I was a bit nervous and really wanted to be helpful. I apologize if that made me seem a bit harsh. If you need any additional clarifications let me know and I'll provide it (but for now I'm sleep)

Mystery Judge's Comments
Batch 1
Quote:
1. Monster (Interlude)
the selection met the right criteria and did some things well and could improve on some others. Nice use of syntax. The repetition worked to a point but I also feel that you might have overdone it at points.
2. Eyes Show (Intro)
the selection met the right criteria and managed to go beyond. Loved the parallelism, twelve to four, it works to great effect.
3. Avant Garde (Intro)
the selection met the right criteria and did some things well and could improve on some others. Lana Del Rey-esque, kinda Video Gamesy. I’m interested in where this is going though.
4. Fake Reality (Intro)
the selection met the right criteria and managed to go beyond. Attention grabbing, thanks for the demo. Loved the main melody that came in during the last verse, it’s catchy. I’d be interested in hearing more of this album.
5. Young Heart (Intro)
the selection met the right criteria and did well. I like the topic, you can hear something great in the “no end of a rainbow” section, I think it would lend itself to music very well.
6. Free (Intro)
the selection met the right criteria and did well. Actually, I really like this, I hear a kickass spoken word intro that would lead into something great. A little sing-songy but that is fine.
7. Chains (Intro)
the selection met the right criteria and did well. I hear something really grim here, I like some word choices. The ending is a bit abrupt, not sure on if I like that or not, but I can hear it in my head.
8. The Opposite of Emo (Intro)
the selection met the right criteria and did some things well and could improve on some others. This would work as a nice midtempo with appropriate hints of metal in it, nice foundation and some clever name drops. I think, however, it could use more variety.
9. NeverEnding Limit (Intro)
the selection met the right criteria and managed to go beyond. Ooh, I loved this, the unique rhythm and syncopation really helped individualize this track. Short, concise, and told the appropriate story.
10. Wilderness (Intro)
the selection met the right criteria and did well. A bit long for an intro but it does the job. A little sing-songy to me, I’m not sure I dig every rhyme here. Well written.
11. Thinking About You (Interlude)
the selection met the right criteria and managed to go beyond. This was sweet, strong word choices like “blood on my piano keys” are really vivid and help us personally connect. I’d like to know where this story goes.
12. Empire (Intro)
the selection met the right criteria and did well. The selection was short and to the point, I like this choice with the lyrics you chose to use. They build up the imagery appropriately.
13. Kingdom Bells (Interlude)
the selection met the right criteria and managed to go beyond. Great use of syntax, keeping every phrase short makes it sound like a bell, chiming back and forth, but relentless in its overall length.
14. The Real Thing (Intro)
the selection met the right criteria and did well. You have some great parallelism within your work here, it helps make these phrases stick in your head. You also have good lyrical choices in your follow up of phrases.
15. Regret (Interlude)
the selection met the right criteria and did well. Aptly titled. The piece is very short – though probably about half of most interludes are – but develops its message in a good way and doesn’t hold on to anything for too long.
16. Salaam (Intro)
the selection met the right criteria and did well. Good repetition balanced with new thoughts, ideas. I can hear a strong rhythm in your concluding stanza, one that has the potential to sound like something really great.
17. Origin (Intro)
the selection met the right criteria and did some things well and could improve on some others. I think that the chorus you made here at the ending was really strong, good rhyming choices, and I could hear it musically in my head. I like the idea of this selection, going back to the origin of your own talent, though I feel some of the middle could use some more meat.
18. The Last Days (Intro)
the selection met the right criteria and did well. First stanza is absolutely adorable. The piece works as an introduction, foretelling the stories of the last days and explain the everlasting qualities of love.
19. Memory Attack (Intro)
the selection met the right criteria and did well. I always enjoy introductions that that blend spoken word and singing, as it creates so much room for daring choices and interpretation. The last line is great and leading towards the tragedies that replay and consume this person tormented by their “memory attack.”
20. Neptune Blue (Interlude)
the selection met the right criteria and did well. Neptune Blue is filled with some really exquisite wording. I love some of the phrases like “angry at this constant purgatory” and “back to the devils that haunt.”
21. Infinity (Intro)
the selection met the right criteria and did well. “This is just the beginning of Infinity,” great closer, maybe a bit cliché to some but I always enjoy something that finishes itself by leading you on to the future. Good choice for an intro.
