[QUOTE="Janx, post: 6046495, member: 8835"] I'll wrap my commentary in spoiler tags. Folks should listen on their own and form their own opinion first. [sblock] Like the last heat, vocals influence the quality of the song heavily. Last heat sounded like nerds in a basement trying to catch a note with a bucket, with only a few stand-outs. I know Morrus offered to have the winner get re-sung, but weak vocals won't get you past the door. This week, I see 3 songs with strong vocals, and the other 2 had potential, but the mixing was crap. the orc song was darn near unlistenable. I just couldn't hear the singer, so I stopped it. The lyrics looked funny. The Jason song was pretty good, but it felt like it was mixed by the guitarist. The vox needs to be louder in the mix, to give it some punch. A little bit of growl in the singer's voice at times would also help it. I actually liked this one, just felt the vocals needed some work. The raven song was lovely. it seemed to set the trend that the women singers have better vocal quality, and the song from this and last week had good production quality. However, this week's female contribution didn't quite seem to be a D&D song. At best, it had Ravens, and Library, which MIGHT be found in a D&D game. Kind of like somebody had a nice song that was sort of genre neutral so they submitted it. The Dungeon Hustle was where the Jason song needed to be. Solid vocals paired up to a great guitar track. Secrets was cleverly written, with smooth vocals and a nice backing track. [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
