The judges seem to like your style - you have it in the bag I fear. Meanwhile I feel like I'm nearing the chopping block, this round was difficult for me to really pull it together but I hope there was something that resonated Edited October 25, 2023 by nostalgic 1
shelven Posted October 25, 2023 Posted October 25, 2023 @PoisonedIvy knew he wouldn't be able to top "you need to be on hard drugs to enjoy this song" so he left on a high note, I respect the decision (In all seriousness, hope everything's ok ) 1

No but I was actually excited to participate in this round, and overall I wanted to keep slowly winning people over to Dead Petz as an album Maybe I’ll post entries I would’ve submitted for some of the rounds that I’m able to view in my spare time
Staryu Posted October 25, 2023 Posted October 25, 2023 Star "critiques" Spoiler ATRL Username: Beatopia - The Perfect Pair I think you covered everything I was looking for in this theme, mainly how it compares to other songs on the album and specific details about why this song is dark, good job. Auburn: The Velvet Rope - What About Yes, you really sold me on the song itself being very dark and angry, it's obvious in the lyrics and the music. The only critique really is you could have compared it to some songs on the rest of the album to really showcase why this one in particular is the darkest. Dessy: Jaguar II - Cadillac (A Pimp's Anthem) Hmmm you struggled with the prompt, I struggled reading about smooth ******, we both lost. I think you could have explained better how this song is the MOST light compared to other songs on the album. EriKills: Trouble - Malboro Lights You showcased this song's darkness well, I agree it's probably the darkest option available. Maybe you could have expanded a bit on why it's the darkest vs. other songs on the album, but overall good job. luckystrike: Bloom - Bloom Hmmm I wish we got a few more details on why this song in particular is lighter than some of the other songs on the album as a w(hole) and not just why you view this as a light song, also butt sex isn't always so playful and carefree minho: HYPNOS - Xtasy I like how you linked house music and it's history to the lightness of this song, good job. Only small critique would be to expand more on why this song is the most light compared to other light songs on the album. MusicLoverDude: Midnights - Paris I think you covered everything I was looking for in this round's theme, good job! nostalgic: Dignity - No Work, All Play I'm having trouble viewing this as the lightest option on this album, with lyrics like "Let the clouds roll in and fill the sky, get that melancholy feel inside" feels a little emo to me and her energy just feels kinda low on the delivery. I think a few examples of how this song's lightness compares to the other light songs on the album could have helped maybe. Not Like The Movies: CTRL - Pretty Little Birds At first I thought you were just saying you love birds <3 at the end but then realized SZA and her man are the love birds I think you covered the prompt well PinkBox: Rebel Heart - Messiah You explained why this song is dark and I believe it is but you lacked explaining why this is the MOST dark on the album as a whole, maybe a few examples of that would have pushed your score a bit higher for me. Post Malone: Unapologetic - Phresh Out The Runway I think you did an exceptional job with this theme, you covered the lyrics, Rih's emotion, the feels, and how it compares to other songs on the album. Psycho: Emotion - I Really Like You I agree with your assessment of this joyous bop, the only small critique I can make is maybe a few examples of why this song is the most light over other specific light-feeling songs on the album. stupidjock: Mercurial World - Unconditional Hmm I feel like you could have expanded a bit on how this song stands out in a "light" way compared to other tracks on the album. ultraviolence.xx: Raven - Divorce I have no idea about chords and keys so I take your word on the technical stuff, but yeah I think you covered the theme pretty well here, the music, the lyrics and the emotions. wehavetostan: The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess - My Kink Is Karma Oh my, Chappell does seem very twisted indeed. I appreciate that you compared this song to other songs on the album multiple times, not everyone did that. @Psycho @ATRL Username @luckystrike @MusicLoverDude @Dessy @minho @Not Like The Movies @stupidjock @EriKills @Post Malone @ultraviolence.xx @Auburn @wehavetostan @PinkBox @nostalgic 3
