I listened to my mix tape and I am going to do my review now. I'm not doing it song by song though.

Overall, I enjoyed it and liked it. I believe that it flowed well from song to song and it seems like every song were similar genre. Like there was a theme. I really liked that there was tracks that did not have audio, they were very calming. I especially like the track that you use to end the whole thing. I like how the beginning was something short and than you ended it the way you did. I do have to say though that there were some songs that were hard to understand what they were singing but I will give them more listens. I am very curious to know who these artists are, I admit I didn't recognize any of the songs.

 

Thanks, I am glad you enjoyed the tape. Here is the tracklisting:

 

1. Coda - EMA - Past Life Martyred Saints

You should really try and get around to check out all the artists, they are brilliant. There were other tracks that I was considering putting on the tape but left out so it sounded better but I might upload them for you later so you can listen to those as well, seeing as you liked the last track so well and they are in the same vein. Thanks again.

I see some very lovely choices on your tape, Bryce. :wacky:

Yeah, I'll have to do that, and if you wanted to do that, that would be really cool. I did really like the last track. Thanks.

:laugh3::laugh3:

 

I want that mixtape now.

Still waiting for mine! The anticipation is killing me (although I think the waiting for the coldplay song is involved in it too haha)

To whoever made my tape: I love it so far, but I want to listen a few more times before reviewing. I'll probably post a review tonight or tomorrow. I also need to finish my own tape too!!

To my mixtape maker: I've just finished the download and unzipped your folder. You should have your review within the next couple of days. :smiley:

Is anyone else having problems uploading their .zip files? I've tried a few uploading sites and none of them are showing my file when I try to select it.

Edit:

Me..

I don't get it, I've never had this problem before! :disappointed:

All right. Mike, is it okay if I get my mixtape in like a day late? Turns out I'm booked when it's due. :/

 

I'd probably get it done like Monday or MAYBE at the very latest Tuesday... Sorry again... >.>

wow sara get it together

:sad:

:sad:

Hi, mixtape maker! :smiley:

 

First, I’d like to say that you had a rather interesting title for your mix. I tried Googling it to maybe get some sort of clue as to what I should expect, but it didn’t really give me anything, so I was very intrigued. Thanks for making me think. :tongue:

 

Anyway, on to the music.

 

1. It begins with a track driven by guitar and low drums in the beginning. I get a folk feel as I listen to this song. I’m not sure if it’s the equalizer my iTunes player or what, but the balance seems slightly off; the vocals are drowned out by the drums. “Bah-bahhhhh, bah-bahhh-dow.” Interesting intro.

 

2. At the very beginning, this reminded me of a different song that I’ve heard before. I feel like this song is familiar, even though I’m almost certain I’ve never heard it. This is some song about being lost in a forest (Those are the lyrics I’m getting, anyway), and I’m pretty sure this is a UK band, probably British. I’m kinda reminded of Kele Okereke on the vocals, but this has a much more acoustic feel than anything he’s done, so that’s definitely not it. It’s not Little Comets, either, whose vocalist kinda reminds me of Kele, too. My ears are trying to pick it out, but I can’t. I like the drums in the instrumental break at the end. “Do you wanna come over and kill some time?” I like this one better than the first track.

 

3. This starts with some short “uh” noises, and then goes into some singing with background music. This track is not as acoustic as the previous two, which gives the mix a bit of contrast at this point. I like the driving tempo that this track haves. There’s not much else I can think to say at this point. This track is OK, I suppose.

 

4. Ahhh, a female vocalist. Her vocals are very clear and crisp, which is something I appreciate, particular in girls. Ohhh, she gets a bit screamy here in parts. This one is electronic. This song is about some girl named Jenny Kelly, whoever she is. When this girl doesn’t sound like she’s trying to hard, she sounds good, but that’s only like, half the time.

 

5. Ahhh, I know this one. This is “PDA” by Interpol. Paul Banks’ voice is very distinctive. I don’t really listen to a whole lot of Interpol, for whatever reason. I have their albums, so it’s not like I can’t.

 

6. This starts off with some weird noises, then goes into some sort of intro. I can’t really hear what the vocalist is saying. Is this some lo-fi band? I ask because this tends to be a part of that genre. While that’s slightly bothersome to me, I do like the guitars.

 

7. Somehow, you missed this track when deleting the info, and it’s because of that that I know it’s “What If” by Bombay Bicycle Club. I think I may have heard a song of theirs once before. The vocals take some used to, given how deliberately shaky they sound, but it’s not something I can’t tolerate or anything, and the music sounds good enough. Actually, when the guy’s not singing, this reminds me completely of something I would listen to.

 

8. I KNOW THIS SONG. It’s “If You Wanna” by The Vaccines. Their album has been one of my favorites this year, so their inclusion on this tape has me pretty excited. I’m now pumped to hear the remaining 5 tracks on this mix.

 

9. I like the guitar sound at the beginning. The female vocalist sounds quite beautiful. The contrast between that and the driving rhythm of the song work well. I like how at one point, it falls out and goes soft, then comes back just as strong after that section. This is a definite favorite of the tape.

 

10. Celesta? Interesting. Wait. It just went into beats. WUT. Aha, that was clever. …Wait a minute. That sounds like Chester Bennington. THIS IS LINKIN PARK? HOLY CRAP. The raspy thing kinda gave it away. You’ve really thrown me for a loop with this one. This has to be post-Meteora Linkin Park, because quite frankly, I haven’t really paid attention to that. After hearing a few of the singles, I’ve kinda dismissed them. I like this a lot more than I expected to, given my previous opinion of the band. You’ve given me something to think about.

 

11. This song is so folk. There’s nothing wrong with that at all, in case you were wondering. I’m rather fond of the genre, honestly. This is a nice contrast from the previous track. Listening to this somehow makes me feel cozy, like I should be in front of a burning fireplace, even though I don’t have a fireplace, and it’s June, anyway. Very nice track.

 

12. AHHHH. This tape just keeps getting better. This is a bit more driven than the track before, but it has that similar acoustic feel. I’m really diggin’ the voice, too. This reminds me of this one guy I heard once named Frank Turner. I heard a couple of his tracks, and I rather liked him. This song has some sort of quality that just demands my attention-an x-factor, if you will. Anyway, another solid track, this is.

 

13. It opens with a solo acoustic guitar. Awww, the poor guy; he sounds nervous as he sings. :laugh4: It’s like Devandra Banhart, only not nearly as nasty-sounding to my ears. In fact, surprisingly, this sounds pleasant. The fact you decided to end with this was an excellent idea. It has this certain feeling of winding down to it-you know, like something that you might relax to after a long and stressful day.

 

It’s really hard to assess this album overall. I will tell you that I definitely enjoyed the second half of the album a lot better than the first half. You should actually be very proud of yourself, because while there were a few tracks that I felt were lacking for me, there weren’t any that I disliked. I think overall, I found it to be an enjoyable listen. I can’t wait to see the track listing. Thank you. :smiley:

oh yeah that's fine... no biggie
