Reviews

These are some of the crowd reviews we had for THE 2017 single ‘solitude’:

‘The intro to this song is so cool. Once the vocals came in the song had my full attention. I love the instrumental to this song. It’s simple but complex at the same time.
‘I liked all of the sound effects that were part of the music. The beat was really good and the vocals were spot on. This song was really good all around.
‘The introduction of the song is interesting very creative and unique. The sound quality is good. I like the song structure’.
‘This song had kind of an Eels vibe going for it, made me nostalgic of early 2000’s indie music. It was well put together and the singing was emotional’.
‘This song is very chill and interesting. I enjoy the melody and harmony of the instruments too. This song has a consistent beat too which is nice’.
‘I like the style of the record since it sounds pretty good. He repeats himself several times at the beginning which is good. This has a mesmerizing effect and induces sleep but I mean in a positive way. I like the guitar roaring in the middle of the song. I love songs that are slow and then go upbeat’.
‘I liked it was slow and kind of depressing/melodramatic sounding, it sounds like it’d be a good song to have in a dramatic show. I like it later builds up to be more exciting and has a rock vibe, the guitar and drums make it sound nice’.
‘I thought this was a rather cool and interesting track here. I liked the instrumentation and guitar playing as well. The track had a cool punk rock vibe to it as well which I also enjoyed’.
‘The artillery sound is interesting at the start. It makes me wonder where they will be going with this song. This is a very interesting and creative concept’.
‘The intro sounds like a heavy storm coming through or bombs going off. The melancholy sounds of the vocals put you in a dark mood, which is further darkened by the lyrics. Somehow it did not emotionally weigh me down with sadness. I was still bobbing my head and tapping my feet.
‘The vocals are dynamic and nuanced in nature. The instrumental compilation has a complex and engaging tone, it sets the mood for the listener to want to keep staying tuned in’.
‘This track is very engaging and compelling because it features excellent instrumentation and compelling vocals that are delivered with style and verve to convey the lyrical story line’.
‘I like the beats and instrumental in this song. The lyrics and beats match well to make this song enjoyable and entertaining to listen to. The energy in this song is captivating and I believe this song has potential’.
‘I like the groove doom metal type of thing this song has going on. In fact, I liked it so much that I listened to the entire track without skipping!’
‘I really like this song a lot. I think that it’s a really good song and I really liked the gunshots or cannon fire at the beginning like I think it was really original and it really set up the mood and the tone of the song really well.
‘I think this song is really great. I like how the vibe is smooth and relaxing and makes you want to sit back a enjoy the sounds that it makes.
‘Song appropriately named, the beginning of the song feels very isolating and sad. I liked the drums around 88 seconds and the guitar getting stronger’.
‘The melody was enjoyable and the sound effects used were powerful. I liked the vocal harmony and the sound of the instruments. This was a thought-provoking track and contained a nice arrangement overall’.
‘This song is deep and dark. Brings up haunting memories. It’s weird that I liked it but I couldn’t stop listening to it. Not very many words, music was definitely interesting. I see it as background music for a Stephen King movie, lol’.
‘I like the production on this song I think that it sets a good eery and cool tone that is kind of hypnotizes as does the singer’s voice’.

‘It had a powerfully dark and emotional feel to the beat. I like the sounds that made up the song. I actually listened to the song more than once over 20 min time. I really like it. It’s a close your eyes kind of song’.
‘The beginning of this song was very intriguing and it had me interested in knowing where the song was going. The singer’s voice meshed together perfectly with the beat’.

THIS SONG WAS PRETTY DECENT. IT HAD SOME INTERESTING AND UNIQUE LYRICS THAT I FOUND TO BE VERY ENJOYABLE. IT HAD A NICE FLOW AND STYLE TO IT AS WELL.
THE GUITAR RHYTHM REMINDED ME OF AN OLD GAME CALLED GUILTY GEAR, IT BROUGHT BACK REALLY GOOD MEMORIES. THE VOCALS WERE PRETTY GOOD AND MADE ME FEEL NOSTALGIC.
MUSIC IS STRONG AND GOT MY ATTENTION EARLY ON. GOOD TRANSITION TO OTHER INSTRUMENTS AND TO THE VOCALS. I CAN FOLLOW ALONG WITH THE LYRICS SO THE TEMPO IS GOOD. LOTS OF TALENT IN THIS SONG.
LOVE NICE CARD GUITAR IN FAIR LAKES STORE CHANGE. MAKES IT SOUND LIKE THE BEGINNING OF A MARILYN MANSON SONG. ADDICTION I ALSO LOVE THE NAME OF THE BAND I THINK IT ADDS TO THE GENRE OF MUSIC THAT THEY PERFORMING.
I LIKE THE SOUND EFFECTS THAT ACCOMPANY THE GUITAR. I THINK THEY MIGHT BE GUITAR PEDALS BUT I’M NOT SURE. IN ANY CASE, THEY’RE AWESOME SOUNDING.
THE BEGINNING SOUNDS LIKE IT WAS RECORDED BACKWARD OR SOMETHING – THAT UNIQUE AND REALLY DREW ME IN. THIS IS A HEAVY SONG WITHOUT STRAYING INTO PRETENSION. I LIKE THIS A LOT.
THIS IS REALLY HEAVY LIKE THE SONG AND IN THE BEGINNING, I THOUGHT IT WAS GONNA BE PUNK-INSPIRED AND IT MAINTAINS THAT FEEL BUT NOT SO MUCH. I LIKE THE COMBINING OR THE SMALL COMBINATIONS OF GENRES THIS SONG IS PERFECT IN ITS GUN LICKS AND KEEPING IN TUNE WITH THE HEAVY SOUND IT HAS THROUGHOUT. EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS SEEMS ORCHESTRATED IN A WAY WHERE CERTAIN FLASHES OF SOUND COME IN AT THE RIGHT MOMENT THEN IT FADES AWAY.

5star review on iTunes by retroman saying “Simply brilliantly produced and well-recorded album. Intelligent use of arrangement bordering on jazz but far too rock to hold that pretension and too dancy to stay in that genre. An almost lo-fi sound in places, it is a genre-splicing classic that deserves better recognition, buy it..”
5star review on cdbaby.com, “Quintessentially English. Imagine Peter Gabriel with extra beats. If you like stuff like Peter Gabriel, you should give this a listen. Expect strong beats matched to synth sounds, bizarre reverse effects, and virtuoso, but not showy, guitars. Neville Meredith’s vocals are strong but understated while Alanamay adds a lighter vocal touch to some of the tracks. Don’t expect Small Town Prisoner to get you dancing in the aisles, that’s not what the album’s about. The tone is introspective and the songs get you thinking. Definitely worth a listen.
