View Full Version : I guess I'd call it Progressive Rock?

Although I'm hesitant to use that term, I don't really know what else I can say to describe the songs I've been working on.

It doesn't help that they're all pretty different. But I think there's some cool stuff in there, I play a bit with time signatures and different stuff I guess.

So, I'd like a general review, especially on Cardboard Man, The Coroner, and A Broken Mind. If you have time for more, listen to The Harlequin and not Lif's Hymn. (Lif's Hymn isn't terrible besides the vocals that need a desperate re-recording)

Also, I'd like some feedback on if these songs could possibly be side by side on an album?

Cardboard Man - I wasn't feeling it. I felt it lacked the funk, except around 2:57 with that rolling line. Maybe needs more syncopation or something, more swinginess needed.

The Coroner - Pretty cool, though I don't think the bass tone fits everything else (or the keys don't fit, idk) in the intro. Your vocals are a bit iffy... I think you'd be doing yourself a great favour with more melodic lines, and reaching higher pitches. But of course, if this a niche that you're wanting to create music in, I think that is just as workable. Neat ending as well.

A Broken Mind - Yeah, alright. Can't say it ticked my fancies personally, but I can imagine other people liking it.

Overall, I'd say that was a good effort. Sounds like music that I'd like to create with all those genre combining sounds. Yes, I think they would exist finely together on the same record.
