01.29.17 | You said you were gonna let it sit for a few months |
Snide
01.29.17 | "You said you were gonna let it sit for a few months"
I let it sit for a few weeks, realized there's nothing that I wanted to change on it and decided to release it. I spent five months on it, which is far more than any other work I've done. |
FullOfSounds
01.29.17 | Okay. I'll give it a listen soonish |
owen
01.29.17 | here we go |
Frippertronics
01.29.17 | you literally said it wasn't going to be done until April
and I quote "I don't have a slated release date for the album as of yet bar that it's gonna be in the month of April"
what the fuck dude |
Frippertronics
01.29.17 | people give you all this criticism and you act like you acknowledge it but you never learn anything |
Sevengill
01.29.17 | dude. |
owen
01.29.17 | please man take this album offline and get someone to record vocals. You wrote these songs with vocals in mind and just took them out. The music won't hold up that way |

01.29.17 | Quote: "There is no predetermined date bar April. I've only got at about two weeks worth of work left on it (album is like 90% done), so I'm giving it that extra three months to let it breathe."
this was said SIX days ago |
Mort.
01.29.17 | im about 5 songs in and every one barely feels like a song
|
FullOfSounds
01.29.17 | it's frustrating snide |
calmrose
01.29.17 | "im about 5 songs in and every one barely feels like a song"
this, they feel like interludes that have been stretched into 3-4 minute songs, i.e. they don't go anywhere |
zaruyache
01.29.17 | there needs to be more going on for these to work instrumentally. |
TheSpirit
01.29.17 | bro, stop writing/releasing music so fast. Coming from someone who would like to see you succeed, you can't call these half-baked attempts to do whatever a full album |
FullOfSounds
01.29.17 | yeah i skimmed this a bit, no songs really seem to have a purpose |
Sevengill
01.29.17 | guys be nice this is his "magnum opus." |
botb
01.29.17 | Which one is the country one |
Frippertronics
01.29.17 | all of them
can't wait to hear how this is shoegaze/surf-rock influenced btw |
ConcubinaryCode
01.29.17 | Gotta agree with the songs feeling like interludes and I'm not sure I hear any of the influences from other genres you said would be on here. The production is pretty solid though. |

Midnight Moves
Also I'd post more responses but the site is being unbearably slow right now. |
oisincoleman64
01.29.17 | Apparently to bring attention to my music on sputnik regardless of quality all I have to do is throw a "Black Machalite" label on it |
Trebor.
01.29.17 | Malachite the type of dude that don't season or marinate his food, dude probably straight up microwaves steaks |
Frippertronics
01.29.17 | snide the type of dude who slathers ketchup on it and asks for it well done |
Snide
01.29.17 | Ketchup is gross |
FullOfSounds
01.29.17 | the drums don't sound as bad as they did when you released the single. did you improve them? |
onionbubs
01.29.17 | "Ketchup is gross"
It's no peanut butter that's for sure |
Trebor.
01.29.17 | Snide the type of dude that accidentally eats the wrapper with the candy and doesn't even notice |
FullOfSounds
01.29.17 | This isn't the worst thing ever but it drags waaay too much |
FullOfSounds
01.29.17 | like these songs just feel so underdeveloped, not enough is happening and it gets boring |
FullOfSounds
01.29.17 | and the songs are so contrasting from the last in a bad way goddammit this is frustrating |
onionbubs
01.29.17 | yea nothing's like offensively bad but it's just kind of there. like as if its an idea that could be cool if more time was used to develop it, but it just kinda repeats and goes nowhere. |
Tyler.
01.29.17 | hahahahaahahah |

Dewinged
01.30.17 | At this point I feel anything we say is gonna end up in oblivion but I am gonna try one last time Snide. I am gonna go on a hair and guess you are mixing, writing, producing, etc all your stuff. You said that you feel that this was complete by your standards hence you decided to release it. It's clear as day that it does not sound finished, judging by everyone's feedback. So my last advice is, for the next one, rent a studio WITH a producer/mixing engineer. You seem to have a lot of ideas and stuff going on in your head and what you need is a second mind, a professional one, a technical one, that channels your ideas and makes them sound real and coherent. So save some money, save some time, find the right person and tell them what you want and how you want it to sound and let the magicians do the job. This is the more constructive thought I could come up with so I hope it helps. The rest is up to you dude. |
Sinternet
01.30.17 | gave it a quick skip-through, will write a review tomorrow (even though there are already 2) but to sum it up:
pros:
you seem to have a much improved understanding of structure
better choice of instruments
cons:
mixing is very amateur
too many tracks that are undeveloped and don't serve to do anything
trying to cram a shitload of styles together does not a cohesive album make (without years of expertise or extraordinary talent at least) |
