This works too^

NOOOOO, I didn't get a tape. D:

Given my mix one full play through, and first impressions are good. There's not a single track that I dislike there, so great job mystery mixer :thumbsup: It's pretty late now so I'll give it few more listens over the next few days and probs post a review on Tuesday.

 

Can i grrrr over the album artworks still being there and artist/title info popping up in media player too. Grrrr...trying really hard not to notice anything, don't wanna be spoilered. :(

This has been the case the last hour with 3 m4a tracks. Mediafire.

I'm pumped for your reviews guise.

Apparently my review shall be first! Haha! I beat you all! :lol: :smiley:

 

 

 

Track 1 - Quite honestly, I loved the beat of this one. It reminded me as if you mixed Phoenix and Coldplay; all around, pretty good. Great song pick for an intro.

 

Track 2 – This one I didn’t really care for. It didn’t seem as full, as if it was missing something. The man singing almost sounded like David Gray. It was a good song, just I wish there was a bit more instrumental back up.

 

Track 3 – This song intrigued me from the beginning. Then once it got into it a bit, I started losing interest. I love the beat of it. It’s very catchy! I don’t know whether or not I can classify it as sounding a bit mainstream. If so, then I will give it a thumbs down. If not, then this is an artist I may listen to a little. Not as much as my obsession with some other bands. But, still….

 

Track 4 – Funny enough, the beginning of this song reminded me of that song in Napoleon Dynamite. I don’t really care for the man’s singing. But, once the song progressed into the instrumental portion panning out, I liked it. Very ‘indie’ sounding if you would want to say that. Toward the end of the song is where I started to like it very much. The vocalist’s voice sounded ‘fuller’. A good song though, I would have to say.

 

Track 5 – The same vocalist from Track 4. It’s a good thing to give a variety of an artist on a mixtape, that way the listener won’t judge by one song. I must say, I liked this song better then the Track 4 song. He doesn’t sound as if he is trying to make a point by being all gushy with his voice. His voice sounds full. A decent song.

 

Track 6 – This reminds me of a band called ‘The Streets’. I kind of like it, sort of like Lovesick by Lindstrom & Christabelle. Toward the middle of the song is when I was hooked. I am in love with the guitar riff, even as minor as it may be. A good song!

 

Track 7 – The beginning of this song scared me a bit. But, once the vocalist began singing, I quite liked it. Especially that voice riff. I have to bring my brother into this for the fact that I think he would love this song a lot.

 

Track 8 – I LOVED this one. It had me from the beginning. Sounds like the same artist of Track 6. I loved the guitar’s placement in this song. I would definitely listen to this song repeatedly, and possibly even recommend to people. Who knows, this may be the next band I buy an album of. Again, I loved this song.

 

Track 9 – For some reason, this brought back a thought of like a live performance at Glastonbury. I like the instrumental part of this song. On the other hand, I’m not a big fan of the guy’s voice. Overall, I really don’t have much to say about this song. I would have to give it maybe a 7 out of 10.

 

Track 10 - Nice to see a song I actually know on this mix tape! I’m actually a big fan of Passion Pit. My friend happened to have turned me on to this odd electrona indie rock. But, I do love the song Swimming In the Flood. Great song by a great artist!

 

Track 11 - Okay, I loved this song. Period. It kind of reminded me of a modern version of Electric Light Orchestra (ELO)! I seriously love everything about this song: the instrumentals, the beat, the melody, and the vocalists’ subtleness of singing. The best song on this mix tape by far!

 

Track 12 – I swear I’ve heard this song somewhere before. In fact I know I have. I just happen not to know the name of it. It’s a great song though! My brother has it on his iPod. I give it an 8 out of a 10.

 

Track 13 - I’m not crazy about this song, but I don’t hate it. Again, my brother would probably like it. In fact, he probably has it. I don’t have much to say about it, just an okay song.

 

Track 14 – LOVE IT. I am a big fan of Arkells. And I have yet to get this album! This makes me want to go out and buy this album right now!

 

Track 15 - I somehow knew I was going to get a song by Phoenix. I actually saw them live on June 11 this year in Cary, NC. (as noted in my signature) “Written in your signed armistice.” A great song that is actually the ringtone for texts on my phone! It’s nice to hear it every time I turn around!

Same here.

Bloody hell :stunned: the first review in already :thumbsup:

Going to listen a second time then review.

Edit: nevermind.

Downloading right now :blush:

Downloading! But I leave to visit relatives tomorrow, so I'll post a review when I get back!

Bloody hell :stunned: the first review in already :thumbsup:

 

It's because I'm amazing like that. (Or I don't really have much of a life during the summer. Your choice. ;))

I really love my mixtape! Whoever made it deserves this: :hug:

On a 3rd listen, here goes....

 

 

Song 1: I love everything about this song. Some songs of longer lengths make you lose interest after a while, but this one is sooooooo good.

 

Song 2: I really like this one. It's very upbeat and happy. Kind of reminds me of Vampire Weekend in a way.

 

Song 3: It has a cool different sound to it. Sounds flowy and dreamlike. If I could ballet dance, I would create some weird number to go with this song.

 

Song 4: This song might be my favorite of the mixtape. It sounds familiar to me as well.... Easy to listen to and all around amazing. I love the guitar in this one

 

Song 5: Something to hear on a sunny day. Lyrics can be a bit repetitive, but it's still a very cool song.

 

Song 6: Made me laugh at first! This song makes me so happy! I danced around to it :lol: Freakin' awesome drums, too

 

Song 7: I appreciate a crazy instrumental. It feels like I should be commiting a crime or kicking someone's tail when I hear it.

 

Song 8: I will admit, I began to lose interest a bit in the middle of this, but the last 30 seconds of drums made up for the whole thing.

 

Song 9: Probably my least favorite. Can't like 'em all, I suppose.

 

Song 10: Back to some good stuff with this one. The guitar is extremely cool.

 

Song 11: Another dreamlike type of song with some more techno to it. The ending is a slightly drawn out, though.

 

Song 12: A calm ending song. Quite nice in its entirety.

 

Thanks again to whoever made it! Great stuff, well done :nice:

 

 

got mine; listening now. :nice: review tomorrow, hopefully. :D

Oh my god. I'm the biggest dickhead in the world.

 

Am doing it right now.

 

Totally forgot.

I'm listening to my mixtape right now, I really like it so far. :nice: I'll post the review tomorrow, probably.

 

The only problem is that I saw the artwork on the first song. I'm not sure whether the rest of the songs have artwork too though, because I didn't look at the rest; I don't want it to be spoiled. :tongue:

might be a day or two before I have the time to fully review.

My third time in a row listening to my mixtape. My review will be up tomorrow for sure. :nice:

i haven't received a mixtape :disappointed:

Just recieved mine, I'm downloading it right now. However, I won't be at home today and tomorrow I'm going to London for 3 days, so I'll put my review either thursday night or friday. Sorry for the delay but I want to put a decent review to the person who made my mix and I don't to 'rush' it.

Just downloaded my tape. My review should be up by wednesday or thursday.

Mixtape review time! First of all, MASSIVE FILE! 120mb thank god we recently improved our internet speed. But that only means two things: lots of songs or good quality files! Saw it was divided into A and B… nice touch, will be interesting to see why it was divided!

 

Sorry in advance if I get carried away in my review writing.

 

A

 

Track #1:

A uniquely American track which has a nice balance of country, indie and even a touch of alternative in it. I totally appreciate the whistling on this – as a musician, I am a firm believer in more whistling and handclaps in tracks! Love the brass section after the chorus! That was an unexpected surprise. Vocals shared, has a bit of a country America feel to it, like mid-land kind of stuff. An odd choice for opening track, sort of makes me feel like I am coming home, or homesick… The dialogue in the third (or is it fourth) verse added an interesting dimension! Wouldn’t say I totally love it but it’s a nice track.

 

Track #2:

Wow this guy’s vocals sound really similar to Bombay Bicycle Club but I know it’s not because I have all BBC’s stuff. A relaxing, subdued track easing me into the mixtape. This has a bit of mystique to it, and the strings make it an almost elegant waltz of alternative soft-rock. HORNS AGAIN! Oh my god I love the inclusion on both these tracks! Could this be a theme? It sounds quite British, and I find myself swaying to it in the second half of the track. I liked this one more than the first, great to listen to it to ease myself into the mixtape.

 

Track #3

The pace picks up for the third track, with electronic drums and frequent acoustic guitar picking. Ethereal female vocals come in, with……. yes, HORNS! Brings a smile to my face every time. You’ve really cleverly themed this mixtape so far! Not a great lover of the song, but I appreciated a nice increase in tempo. Track kind of doesn’t build up to something spectacular, but maintains an almost sneaky element as if it was straight off the soundtrack of a mystery movie.

 

Track #4

SPANISH SAHARA! Brilliant. Foals have the song of the year. Seriously, if anyone reading this review hasn’t heard it yet, then you need to. It builds up brilliantly around floating vocals to a pacey atmospheric track about 2/3rds in. Simply amazing. This song inspires me.

 

Track #5

The tempo picks up again with a twisted almost caberet-style track with vocals that have a hint of Alex Turner about them without the heavy accent. It’s got horns, and a whole orchestra. To me, it sounds like it could even be pulled from The Last Shadow Puppets’ album. Really interested to hear who sings this. Because it’s freakishly similar to their material (especially the chorus), with the addition of Female vocals. One of my faves so far if it was a bit shorter. A very dramatic track, going for six minutes, feels like a sweeping journey of 1950’s England obviously produced in the present time.

 

Track #6

Familiar female vocals over an interesting four-chord acoustic guitar progression. This wouldn’t be Laura Marling would it? I haven’t heard a lot of her music but I read about her all the time. A bit of swearing – Laura Marling seems too cute for that. I could be wrong! A very simplistic, stripped back acoustic track, but it’s really effective. Very relaxing, Sunday arvo music. I love how this has been produced, and the reverbed piano, just comes together quite beautifully. Probably the best new track I have discovered.

 

Track #7

GOT to be a comedy track. About pimples. I’m mildly disturbed but intrigued. Guy sings/talks over ukulele. Ending’s pretty funny.

 

Track #8

From the start, sounds like a great closing track. Dreamy, slow with an American female singing. Gets a tad repetitive over time. Not 100% my kind of music, but good choice for an A closer.

 

B

 

Track #9

Electro! Think I recognise this, but then it eludes me. It kind of sounds like the guy who just did a single with Lily Allen. But then it breaks into punk rock, really unexpected shift. But it kind of works! Verses sound similar to The Streets, and then the Pre-Chorus and Chorus is a bit like Foo Fighters. Could be a collaboration here. Really interesting track! Great position at the start of B.

 

Track #10

More electro mixed with punk rock, so this mixtape has been divided quite well. I like the riffs and the intro, but I kind of get lost in the chorus with the wall of guitars. Vocals sound very British, but I could be wrong.

 

Track #11

More pacey guitars, female vocals this time. Sounds like this has a bit more attitude than the last two punk rock tracks. The beat takes me along, on a wild ride. I like elements of it, like the lead guitar and drumming.

 

Track #12

Haha, real American-style punk here. Sounds like they have been inspired by Greenday and like the track could be played on the game ‘Tony Hawks Pro Skater’… My mate loves punk heaps, think this would be right up his alley. Up my alley? Maybe not.

 

Track #13

Well if I wasn’t a fan of 12, I am definitely not 13. Others love this headbanging stuff, not so me.

 

Track #14

As this track opens, I am thinking, yes! This is more like it! Horns riff and we’re going! German vocals for sure, unless I have my countries terribly mixed up. The music side of the track I love, the indie-pop with a lot of energy and pace to it! This will get people dancing. A nice addition after the punk tracks, good shift.

 

Track #15

Rock, probably one of the more pop-sounding off this mixtape. I love the tempo and the drumming, especially. Musically, sounds a lot like they could be put in the same bracket as Paramore.

 

Track #16

An unusual closer, back to acoustic guitars but we keep the increased tempo. Unfamilar language again, not sure about which one! Could still be German. Erupts into punk rock out of nowhere, surprising, but not my taste.

 

 

Overall, an interesting mix. You’ve obviously separated A and B for acoustic/indie and then rock. There were a few nice surprises, and I will be keen to hear a couple of these artists! I’m not a fan of Punk rock at all but the other tracks were nice to listen to! Thanks :)

^good review. I just listened to my tape. It was interesting.

I haven't got mine!!!! :bigcry:
