Okay so here's my review. I've listened to the mixtape about 4 or 5 times now..
Overall impression: I don't hate any of the songs. They are all songs that i can imagine myself listening to. I knew only one of the songs so that's a GOOD thing! discovering new music = awesome
1. I still haven't quite decided if i like this song or think it's just "ok". I don't really love the beginning of the song.. it sounds too light or something. It gets better towards the end when it gets louder.
2. TRAVIS! Ah, My Eyes is one of my favourite Travis songs. It was quite cool to hear this familiar song right in the beginning. It also made me think that the person who made this mixtape is from the uk..
3. Again, i'm not sure if i like the singer's voice or not...the music itself sounds good though. It bothers me that i can't tell what the singer is saying bah. Pretty energetic song and it makes me move my toes & head to the music hah
4. I love the bass line! This band sounds a bit familiar but i just can't put my finger on it.. Maybe i just don't know the band at all but it sounds like some other band i know.
However, i like the tempo and the 2nd male singer singing on the background, his accent is fucking sexy too.
5. I usually don't like this kind of half talk singing. Anyway, i like that there are 2 people singing at the same time. Makes it sound cool. The violin(s) sound rather good too. As a cellist i always appreciate hearing violins/cellos in songs
6. This song was a good choice after all those rock songs. This is one of those easy listening songs. Nice vocals, nice guitar, nice drum beat, nice catchy chorus. It's one of those songs that makes me whistle along.
7. The first thing i paid my attention to was FEMALE vocals! This song makes me feel dreamy..those vocals sounds so fragile that it makes me feel like i'm in a wonderland. Usually when the vocals are like this the music makes me feel sleepy but in this song it's different, the melody & other instrument are strong and that makes this song great!
8. A find this song a bit boring. The chorus isn't that bad though. I usually don't like female vocals and for some reason i don't like this one that much either. I just feel like skipping this song mwha. It's a bit annoying 'cause i dont hate the song.. it just doesn't make me feel anything.
9. This song was so short that i didn't even pay attention to it at first. I thought it was the ending or the beginning of the other songs. In my opinion the song should be longer! I like instrumentals and althought this wasn't really an instrumental it was close to be on haha
10. There are million songs like this one. There's really nothing special in this song.. It's not even catchy. Sorry, but i can't say much about this one :\
11. Beautiful singing. I'd like to hear more songs by this artist/band just because i like the singing so much and i'd like to hear if he sings like this in every song haha. I actually know the melody already and that's always a good sign! The song is maybe a tiny bit too long though..
12. This could be either Interpol or Editors. Or then not. First of all, i always mix interpol and editors for some weird reason. Second, every time i hear this song i feel like i know this band..but i just can't put my finger on it. It'll be interesting to hear what band this is! The chorus is coolio, the drumming is wicked.
13. This songs makes me want to DANCE! The singing is somewhat mysterious.. The guitar riff is simple, but catchy. I know that some other people might think that it's boring 'cause the same stuff just keeps on going and going but i like this!
14. This is a good feeling song. This would be one of those songs i'd listen to when i'm feeling low. It's not too crazy or energetic but the "lalalalalalala/dadadadaaa" part is fun enough :dance:
15. I'm almost 100% that this song is by either Interpol or Editors. (read 12.)
I like the beginning of the song.. the piano fools me to think that it's a slooow song when it's actually not. the drumming is cool, the singing is nice, the chorus is catchy.
"These thoughts are must not think of, dreams i can't make sense of, I need you to tell me it's okay" :heart: I actually think this could be my favourite song on this mixtape.
16. After that previous song the beginning of this sounds lovely too. I like the fact that i can actually hear what he's singing about, so alriiight! the song is not too simple, it has some catchy drumming and the singing is quite interesting too.. i want to know what the singer looks like. Unfortunately it's sounds a bit weak compared to that previous song.
17. Time for relaxing music. Sweet vocals, acoustic guitar and some random instrument i don't know. I can imagine this song being used in a tv-show. It works well as a background music too. The singing sounds a bit blah at some points but over all the singer does a good job.
18. Nice decision for the final song. I can say for sure that i haven't heard a song by this band before. I would recognise that singing if i had hear it before. This is one of the best songs on this mixtape. For some reason i find the singing very interesting.. in a good way obviously. I already start to sing along when that "c'mon, c'mon" part comes :wacko: The music itself isn't that special but it sounds darn good! It just ends too soon.
I'm not sure how well this person knows me.. But the first time i heard the mixtape i really started to think that the person actually has checked my last.fm profile or something and totally knows what kind of music i like to listen to!
However, i do think that the mitape was a tiny bit too long..11-15 songs would've been great already!
