1. This song is in a commercial here I think, I dont know the name but I’ve Heard it before. Good piano song, I feel like this mixtape will be very relaxing… I guess :P

 

2. The National! One of my favorite bands now. This is Slow Show. I love the lyrics, specially that part “you know I dreamed about you, for 29 years before I saw you”, I’m cheesy like that.

 

3. The voice sounds kind of familiar but I don’t know this song. I like it… Elbow maybe?

 

4. Another song that I don’t know, not even familiar with the voice, sounds like the songs I like to hear in the morning, a happy sound :cheesy: I think this will be for some time in my itunes library :P

 

5. Happy song. I like the ermm trumpet? I suck at music I can barely recognize instruments :shame: I know it’s not Travis but sounds like Why Does It Always Rain On Me a bit.

 

6. It’s not a band song but sounds like a lot of other songs I’ve heard before, the weakest track so far in my opinion :blank:

 

7. The Postal Service – Such Great Heights This song also was on a commercial here, I like it :wacky:

 

8. Oh man this is Radiohead, high and dry right? Is this a cover or what? the voice is not so annoying :P.

 

9. A girl’s voice Sounds sweet :wacky: Is this Feist? I always wanted to get some of her music but I haven’t :P I like this, it fits with the rest of the mixtape

 

10. This is a lovely ending for a great mixtape. Sounds like part of a soundtrack, I don’t know why.

 

Overall, I really like this. My favorites: 9, 2, 4. Looks like a summer mixtape, a lovely one, too bad the weather here is so cold or I’d go outside to listen to the mixtape just enjoying the sun :P

dreamt_too_late: I will review your mixtape if you like! I've already recevied and reviewed mine and also sent my tape in, so I'm free. :P

NO I WANNA REVIEW IT :surprised:

Oooh, my tape should come today, I'm excited.

But I did review her mixtape. That was my review. That was it.

But maybe she wants a more...detailed...review? :shrug:

The Review

1. I like the intro and love her voice, I recognise the music but can't place who it is? I'm assuming it's about a relationship that's going through a rough patch and they're reminding each other they've been through worse? I want to hear more of them anyway. A good upbeat start

 

2. Another good intro, nice voice and again i feel I know them but can't figure them out. He sounds a small teeny weeny bit like Matt Bellamy. I'm enjoying the musical aspect of the song too, the guitar has a nice rhythm to it and the drums stand out too. Interested to see who this is. I like how it gives an upbeat and downbeat feel to the song, it's hard at times to tell wether or not it's a happy or sad song but towards the end of this song i'm leaning more towards a sad song.

 

3. Already liking this song and i'm not surprised once I hear Thoms voice because it's Radiohead. I'm happy this is on because i'm still kinda new to Radiohead and I've found another reason why I need to be listening to them :D. I'm loving the guitar of the song and I like how it's picking up more tempo, getting more aggressive but then falls back to the acoustic like at the beginning.

 

4. R.E.M :) only 4 tracks in and I can't wait to sync my ipod so i'll have the mixtape with me all the time. I like R.E.M I find his voice entrancing and the music is really (also strangely) relaxing lol.

 

5. Is this group Greek by any chance? This track makes me want to wear purple and smash plates while shouting UMPA! ha. I'm enjoying this track a lot I find the singer quite funny whoever he is he reminds me of a creepy singer on last years X-Factor except this man can sing and entertain anyway his name is Wagner. Loving the end to this, I have a grin on my face while shaking my bum. 'Start Wearing Purple For Me Now!' My fave so far

 

6. Immediately this had me thinking of José González with the acoustic guitar but then it got electrical. I didn't realise it was instrumental, it caught me off guard. Nicely placed too I wasn't expecting it.

 

7. Is this The Corrs? If not then there's another band too which it's probably them but yet again I can't find a name for the sound. Is the song called Animal Instinct? I think the song is about someone who's in love and willing to do anything to be with the person but he/she doesn't know about it. I like this guitar riff towards the end but not too fussy on the band it's self.

 

8. I like this intro and again another greek feel to it…… hang on it's Green Day! Another nice surprise. An upbeat tune but with lyrics about misery and misfortune. Lovely description, pity it's about being bludgened to death and people going missing. I like this song though I'm not Green Days biggest fan (if a fan at all) but I always have liked his voice and there sort of comedic ways at times and I do like this music and I've enjoyed the song in general. Guess it's time to go looking into the Green Day archives.

 

9. This is probably the loudest start into a song so far. Very Jazzy/Blues like and I'm liking it :D This is not Aerosmith is it? There's similarities to Tyler's voice. I like the track i'm loving the harmonica and piano especially and the guitar in this. Not too bothered about the voice but like everything else though.

 

10. Sounds like dubstep at the beginning I really like it, WHAT! It's Chris Martin singing! How come I've never heard this before and also why isn't this in the Coldplay discography? This has shocked me. This has to be one of the coolest Coldplay songs I've heard, I love Wills drums and Guys bass too! Chris's vocals are crisp and clear and the piano is beautifully complimenting the song too. Johnnys guitar towards the end is brilliant, this is such a heavy song and I love it. Well done for putting this in cos I've just fallen in love with the song! Was this done for a film? the lyrics seem to be something suitable for The Bourne Trilogy.

 

11. I like this start, it's upbeat and cheery and the drums have just kicked in I already feel happy inside from it. This is Sigur Ros isn't it? The only thing throwing me of is the fact there singing parts in english. Love the drums throughout the song and the rest of the music too it's such a happy song. It makes me think of being a child again in a park on a summers day playing around trees and just having fun. A great summer song and I'm looking forward to listening to it again. Loving this track :)

 

12. DAMN!! Such a cool intro. White Stripes! It's already fantastic and I love this song too. You don't know what love is! It's a shame they've finished now :( But this is one of my favourite White Stripe songs, just like the intro the rest of the song is so cool. Just simply awesome!

 

13. See I like the music but I hate the little rat who sings. If Axl Rose didn't open his mouth I'd actually like Guns N Roses. Slash is great though and I look forward to seeing him this summer. Sorry though I hate Axl as a person and his voice far too much that I've had to skip the song. Again though the music to Paradise city is brilliant just that little prick is shite :/

 

14. A lovely ending to a great tape. Have to say Parachutes is one of my favourite songs of the album, so nice, beautiful short and brilliant. Reminds me of just staring up into the sky on a summers day when you've got perfectly shaped clouds passing over a lovely blue sky with the sun shining bright too :)

 

Overall I really liked your mixtape, it was so upbeat and summery that it'll be getting played quite a lot throughout the summer :) Thanks and I look forward to seeing the track list! :D

Nice review :nice:

i bet it will end up all being artists i like :uhoh:

 

IT'S US AGAINST THE WORLD (of music section) GURLFRANNN~

edit: by any chance, is your username related to the band a dream too late? :P

 

Possibly.

 

And yes, it is.

 

dreamt_too_late: I will review your mixtape if you like! I've already recevied and reviewed mine and also sent my tape in, so I'm free. :P

 

NO I WANNA REVIEW IT :surprised:

 

Thanks. :)

 

But I did review her mixtape. That was my review. That was it.

 

And your review was childish.

But maybe she wants a more...detailed...review? :shrug:

 

Probably a more favourable review, seeing as mine was only a paragraph. Oh, that reminds me, I will upload those tracks this afternoon.

I can go through each and every song if you would like me too, and review separately.

I understand the just one paragraph was kind of unfair. But I wouldn't mind doing it if that's what you want.

Dude, I put that Civil Twilight track on the last one I made. :surprised:

 

Mmmmm, Hurts. I'm not so sure if I would've went for that particular track, though. It's one of my least favorites of theirs.

That track flowed better with the theme of the mix tape, I guess.

But why don't you particularly like it?

^^It fits on her mixtape. Something I tried to do on the only mixtape I made for an exchange was to make the mixtape flow well, didn't want to make my mixtape partner feel confused :P

Yeah almost done with it (halfway through the last song) but well...

 

It certainly doesn't fit my taste in music, I mean I didn't hate the tracks but I didn't like them either, like I usually say, if they happen to play on the radio while I'm driving without my music, I wouldn't mind them.

The only song I really disliked was the first, the singers voice was basically sounding too forced? I don't know how to put it but I don't like his voice, I'm sorry u_u

I won't rate it, or give a proper review cos I'm not really in this mixtape exchange :P but if I liked that kind of music then I guess I would've loved it. Again, it's not my taste really.

But good work with making it flow well.

He does have quite the voice... I didn't like it at first either. Than I gave their albums a full listen and now I absolutely love them.

Thanks for listening. I can see that it's not a lot of people's kind of music, but I figured I'd give those songs a try because you never know, maybe people would like it who generally wouldn't listen to that type or genre. As I noticed ivet didn't listen to any of those bands, but I wanted to do that just in case she may like something... but obviously not.
