did you ever hear The Screaming Blue Messiahs ? cos this sounds a bit like them in parts. They made a great album called Bikini Red which has some good songs on it. Back to your music, I think the song is really good and well put together but like the SBM's music it takes a few plays to get you there, though there's nothing wrong with that. Like the guitar as well. John |

jeez Dick for a guy who just became a year older you sure still have a lot of punk attitude in you... way to be. sure takes some cool twists. the orchestra piece and going back to the theme was a real cool trip. |

A gentle pastorale it isn't Rocks along nicely - no subliminal messages here then :) I can here a pop/punk version with girlie chorus doing the "shoot em up" line. Maybe a 2009 Eurovision number for the UK (couldn't do any worse than in recent years). Like it - "I'm just an ordinary bloke" - love it! Neil |

HAHAHA! not too bad for a coffin dodger...the vocal effects sounded like fun to play around with. Your influences would be proud of you. Keep at it! Nice one. :-) |

Ouch! My head hurts...but that's kind of the point, I think. Wow. THIS number is so complex in its production. How do you DO all of that? and how do you keep all that in your head and so well-organized? We should make ourselves a challenge: you write a sweet ballad and I'll write...uh, I think you'd win. You are one versatile composer, Dick. Amazing. Peace. Paul |

This sounds great to me Dick. I'll have to be careful not to drink your beer by mistake. I can actually imagine this on stage. Like a robotic mob and the lead singer. Wonderfully creative. Cheers Len |

hmmm Some good licks in this tune... but they are a bit overshadowed by the downtuned vocals... a bit gimmicky. Interesting changes around 3:30. Like the writing in terms of the music but I feel like this could be much more powerful with a tighter, more sculpted guitar sound. |

This lingers... ...which is why any sane person listens to music, it get s inside. Although it lingers in a very dark part of me, I do appreciate the skill it takes to get it there in the first place. Won't even pretend to be savvy enough to critique the guitar, all I know is that it rocked! Your loving production shows much humor and detail - brava! |

Much more punk to me too than anything else with the energy, guitar and vocals. That aside: great riffs and very interesting arrangement .. the arrangement and lyrics itself wins it for me and I guess the arranging took most of the time...so it paid off- although I really like the manic lead guitar bits too, effected to sound kinda electronic circuitry like. Mixwise: I wasn't so keen on the choice of reverb for the main vocal (most noticeable at the very last line)... I thought that could be improved to enhance more. The cookie monster effect is used well herein .. if sometimes hard to make out what is said without reading the lyrics... sometimes made me think of 'Jabba the Hut' from Star Wars at times ..lol. All in all I really enjoyed this. Good 'un Dick. |
quite some thrash from you, 'dude'. Even had my head nodding (or is that bobbing)
Ord'nary bloke? Raht....
Good rocker. It must have been a piece of work to shift the vox down clean like that. I can say, I was feeling relief when the rock scramble kicked in and the vox pitched back up - heh....
