bestfiction Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 BANKS - Warm Water (Snakehips Remix) Well. It's a remix.

miguel Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Group 1 Spoiler Warm Water - this isn't bad per se, but i'm not a fan either. The way they mixed the vocals is... tragic, to say the least Sandstorm - nope Right Here, Right Now - I mean this is ok... i guess 4ÆM - lol, no. This is boring, uninteresting and goes nowhere. Running - See Warm Water ^^^ Say Something - This is cute. Probably the best song so far, but that doesn't really say much Firestone - YES, finally a good ****ing song Into The Past - this is cute Rumors - eh, dated af Do It Again - issa bop Not Giving Up - ehh, it's ok Group 2 Spoiler One More Time - classic? yup! Repeat - it's ok Titanium - YUP! Used to love this so much back when it was released, so many good memories attached to it! There For You - this is like better than most the entries so far but it's also quite weak in comparison to Martin's other songs Siren Song - bop! Drum - this is quite cute Two Minds - this is a cute little bop tbh, nice! Where Have You Been - plssss that drop. this is dated af but not awful i guess Hang With Me - oh this is very cute, i like it Never Ever - not bad at all Desire - eh, it's okay. Not awful but not quite there either. Lacks punch.

clue Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 GROUP 1 Spoiler Warm Water - It's alright. Doesn't stand out at all, though. Sandstorm - This is activating my fight or flight response. I feel like I got transported back to 2003 or sumn and I'm 6 years old again playing one of those racing video games that restaurants used to have inside of them. It definitely stands out, and in a good way I think. Right Here, Right Now - WHEWWW. A bop. So fun and fresh. 4ÆM - This is cute. One of the only songs from MA that I still return to. Running - A lil basic, but it's cute. Say Something - Unexpectedly bopping to this one. Whew. Firestone - Unremarkable and boring. Into the Past - She alright. Definitely a bit too long, though. Rumors - Cute. I like this. Do It Again - I've always liked this. Not Giving Up - Super basic. Not my type of thing I guess. GROUP 2 Spoiler One More Time - One of my favorite submissions of the season so far. SO good and a bonafide classic. Repeat - It's alright, super basic and not exciting. Titanium - I HATE this song. It is so grating. I'm sorry. There for You - Another unremarkable one for me. I like the lyrics, I guess, but it's not doing anything for me. Siren Song - This was REALLY cute. And this a SHITrovision girl? Oh wow. Drum - Very cute. I like the chorus. Two Minds - WHEWWW. I love the drop. The bass-y synth >>> Where Have You Been - Absolute classic. I still LOVE this even more than WFL. This song really takes me there Hang with Me - It's okay. Not really super remarkable. Never Ever - Kinda loud, but it's cute. Desire - Very UK 2016 radio smash. :kii2:. Um it's alright.

Tom Vercetti Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Group 1 BANKS - Warm Water (Snakehips Remix): Eh. Never heard this rihmix before but Snakehips doesn't impress me much with what they do with Warm Water. Darude - Sandstorm: The Rick Roll of EDM. With that being said, this is one of the first trance songs i've been exposed to and liked so I have an attachment to it. Giorgio Moroder - Right Here, Right Now: The production is kind of ugly and Kylie doesn't seem all that impressionable either. Grimes - 4ÆM: I like the dancefloor drum and bass approach she went for this. Jessie Ware - Running (Disclosure Remix): It's okay. Similar case with Warm Water, I actually prefer the original over this. Karen Harding - Say Something: The MNEK production is promising but Karen is not all that appealing to me. Middle of the road. Kygo - Firestone: The vocals suck, Kygo is talentless and tropical house was a trend that I certainly do not miss. Nero - Into the Past: Was never into Nero growing up but this isn't the worst thing from them. I don't have any feelings for this other than meh. Pep & Rash - Rumors: I wouldn't add this to a personal playlist but it's a bit passable for this round. Röyksopp & Robyn - Do It Again: I like it. They made a good team back in the day. The Saturdays - Not Giving Up: Sounds like they were trying to replicate another All Fired Up but it didn't turn out to be as good. This is still decent however. Group 2 Daft Punk - One More Time: This was one of the first things that came to mind when I saw what this round was going to be so bravo on an original choice. David Guetta - Repeat: Maybe Jessie J stans will like this but i'm not one of them. David Guetta - Titanium: This is borderline unlistenable due to Sia. The past overexposure of this doesn't help either. Martin Garrix & Troye Sivan - There for You: Troye as a vocalist just bores me but Garrix does provide some beneficial support. I used to like this a little back in 2017 so i'll go a bit easy on this one. MARUV - Siren Song: *eurovision* Yeah no wonder why I don't like this. MØ - Drum: Nah, I'm not a fan of her music. Sorry. Nero - Two Minds: The production is whatever but Alana's singing is not good here. Rihanna - Where Have You Been: An underrated highlight of TTT that got overshadowed by WFL. Robyn - Hang with Me: Hmm, surely there were better Body Talk songs to choose from but it's ok. Röyksopp - Never Ever: I got a flashback to when I sent this in ASC and flopped with it. The production is going to filter some people but w/e I still like this overall. Years & Years - Desire: Suprisingly I like this one. I would've personally gone with the Gryffin Remix though. It's a lot better than this as an EDM choice. @Auburn @bestfiction @dussymob @Fruity @Hug @mokitsu @Overprotected @Psycho @Rence @thecptz @Witch Privilege @Diarrhoea @Element @Hikari @kipperskipper @Legend E @luckystrike @Moonlightbae @Navyofbadgals @Not Like The Movies @Touch It @touya kinomoto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckystrike Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 One More Time: a classic that I’ve never liked, sorry :kii2: Repeat: I like this yes cute Titanium: an aged bop, good luck sis There For You: love this song, I almost sent this but atrl kinda hates Troye so I didn’t :kii2: good luck sis [2] Siren Song: eaux wow I like this Drum: lovely bop yes Two Minds: it’s cute methinks Where Have You Been: an aged classic, don’t know if I enjoyed it as I used to Hang With Me: for a Robyn song this was a bit meh, not the worst though Never Ever: sending a 5 minute song for an EDM round... terrible choice baby Desire: lovely bop yes [2] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auburn Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 For the purposes of my reviews I’m not gonna make any judgments on whether I think a song is EDM or not. It’s just too difficult a discussion to have. And since EDM ages so badly I tried to imagine I was listening to these songs in the years they were released. BANKS - Warm Water (Snakehips Remix) I really liked this. Very chill. Darude - Sandstorm asdhasdfjs iconic song! Giorgio Moroder - Right Here, Right Now whew I love this song so much! I considered sending it but I wasn’t sure if it counted as EDM Grimes - 4ÆM This is immaculately produced. Not particularly my style though. Jessie Ware - Running (Disclosure Remix) I really like this bop. Jessie’s voice works so well with EDM music imo. Karen Harding - Say Something Not a fan of this tbh, I really don't like the vocal production Kygo - Firestone Not a huge fan of this either, it’s not bad but it’s quite uninspired until the drop, which I think could hit a bit harder. Nero - Into the Past whew I love this, it’s so epic Pep & Rash - Rumors blah Röyksopp & Robyn - Do It Again Bop, this KNOCKS. I like it The Saturdays - Not Giving Up inch resting… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psycho Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 BANKS - Warm Water (Snakehips Remix): It's cute but too low energy/slow and I wouldn't call it EDM... Darude - Sandstorm: Meme'd classic Giorgio Moroder - Right Here, Right Now: This classique Grimes - 4ÆM: It's a cute bop Jessie Ware - Running (Disclosure Remix): Overtime > Karen Harding - Say Something: Kygo - Firestone: Tired beat Nero - Into the Past: Very nice but danceable? Questionable... Pep & Rash - Rumors: Röyksopp & Robyn - Do It Again: Body Talk'd serve The Saturdays - Not Giving Up: Yassss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelven Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Not cool enough for a banner, so SHELVEN'S CRITIQUES GROUP 1 Spoiler Banks - Warm Water (Snakeships Remix) It’s not bad, but it mostly just feels like a generic DJ remix to me. Didn’t really capture my attention. Darude - Sandstorm A risky and creative choice, but honestly, the memes aside, this song is a BOP. Always very fun to listen to. Giorgio Moroder - Right Here, Right Now Great choice. Solid production and very catchy. I liked this a lot! Grimes - 4ÆM This is a really cool song. I really liked the dark and mesmerizing feel, and the song moved enough to make it interesting the whole way through. Jessie Ware - Running (Disclosure Remix) Basically the same critique as the Banks song - I’ve never been a huge fan of most DJ remixes of pre-existing songs, they’ve always felt generic to me. This is better than the Banks one at least. Karen Harding - Say Something This was nice! Good production and I liked her vocal tone a lot. Kygo - Firestone I used to like this song quite a bit when it first came out, but it’s kind of gotten boring to me over the years. It’s still not bad, though, Kygo’s production is always very smooth. Nero - Into The Past Whew, the production on this is great and super captivating. I absolutely love the recurring orchestral section. Really good entry! Pep & Rash - Rumors Ok wow the breakdown in the chorus kinda slayed me. The song itself starts to feel pretty repetitive, but overall I like it, it’s fun and high-energy. Röyksopp & Robyn - Do It Again Robyn’s voice always sounds so good on electronic production. This is a good song overall, it’s not super memorable to me, but I liked it. The Saturdays - Not Giving Up Eh, it’s catchy and the production’s not bad, but this feels more like a generic, heavily-produced pop song than an EDM song. It’s decent, but it’s kind of just… there. GROUP 2 Spoiler Daft Punk - One More Time Ok this is definitely a classic, but tbh I forgot how annoying the vocal effects are and how much it drags in the middle. The good parts are really good though. David Guetta - Repeat Of all the David Guetta songs, why this one? It’s not bad and Jessie’s vocals are nice, but I feel like he has a ton of way better songs for this round. This one’s kind of bland. David Guetta - Titanium Speaking of way better David Guetta songs! I know some people call this dated but I don’t care. Always loved this song, always will. Martin Garrix & Troye Sivan - There For You Eh, I mean I guess there’s nothing wrong with it, but like… I feel like I’ve heard a million songs exactly like this in the last few years. Feels very faceless. MARUV - Siren Song Ooh ok this is good. I like the sultry feel of the verses, the breakdown is catchy and fun, and her voice is captivating. A good song all around! MØ - Drum I really need to listen to more MØ because I like pretty much anything I hear by her, this included. Something about her voice is so pleasant to listen to. Calling this EDM is a pretty big stretch though. Nero - Two Minds Ok I had never heard of Nero before this round but thank you to whoever submitted this and the one in Group 1 because both these songs are great. LOVE the bass on this and her voice works great on this production. Rihanna - Where Have You Been Whew I way I STANNED this when TTT first came out. It’s honestly held up pretty well tbh, some parts of the production are a bit more grating now but the verses are still great and I’ve always liked the breakdown. Robyn - Hang With Me It’s a very cute and nice song, but this is another one that’s a BIG stretch to call EDM - it’s pretty obviously a synth-pop song which isn’t the same as EDM to me. I do like the song quite a lot, though, so I’m very torn on this. Röyksopp - Never Ever This is cute and very fun. It’s yet another song that feels more like a regular pop song than an EDM song though (but this one does feel slightly closer to EDM at times than some of the other songs I’ve given this criticism to) Years & Years - Desire Chile why is this group filled with so many songs that are barely EDM. This is nice and catchy, although nothing in it really stands out as grabbing my attention.
