Maybe I'm nitpicking, but if ypu're going to whine about a group of music genres, you should at least know what you're talking about.

[QUOTE=killa101;39865769] [b]Casey Kay - Djur E Kul[/b] Because this track is in a different language I really can't tell if it is to be taken seriously or not, but goddamn it makes me want to go do shit. And I have shit that needs to be done, so I will continue these later. This is the perfect track to go out on.[/QUOTE] Honestly not even I know what to make of my song, I wrote the lyrics in a jokingly manner, I do however think animals are treated badly (especially those we eat) and the lyrics reflect that. It really fills me up with joy that you get such a reaction from this song, I hope you got all your shit done after hearing the song :smile: [QUOTE=Hakita;39889339]Here are my reviews: Casey Kay - Djur E Kul I know its punk, so it shouldn't really matter, but I thought that the vocals were really terrible. Instrumentation is actually alright and I dig the low-fi feel, but the vocals ruined it. [/QUOTE] Yeah I figure that the vocals are probably the weakest part of this song objectively speaking, trying to get better at it so hopefully in the future songs I'm doing the vocals will just get better and better :smile: I'll try and get a review written sometime this weekend, thanks killa101 and Hakita for taking the time to write your thoughts on the album!
my trak has real instruments on them i just put them into my sk1 and played them that way
I think for the future album it would add a lot if we try and get some sort of concistency in the tracks, have it build up in intensity and all that jazz! :smile:

But no, you didn't listen to MY track

But no, you didn't listen to MY track[/QUOTE] I listened to every track. (ill admit, on a few, I stopped halfway because they were just god-awful/not going anywhere) Idk where you're getting the "I only listened to the first 6 tracks" though Im stating that the first 9 tracks have electronic synths in them excluding the 6th, the rest ir gets spotchy, there are 4 electronic tracks to 1 none-electronic track after that. Get over yourselves, someone doesn't like the album you guys all produced on a low budget, in your bed-room, on your PC late at night. Try not to take your album so serious next time, you won't get so defensive when someone states they didn't like it for X or Y reason, even if you disagree with it, people won't like it for X Y or Z, you just are going to have to accept it. If you guys didn't want feed back/opinions from listeners, dont post a thread about it asking for feed back, dont post it, dont make it. Which track was yours Killer?
i produced it on my garage, early in the morning, on my cassette deck thank you very much
[QUOTE=thisispain;39928829]i produced it [b]on[/b] my garage, early in the morning, on my cassette deck thank you very much[/QUOTE] How were the acoustics up there?
very good but you can hear all the passersby complain about the noise

I get what you mean if you don't like it, I don't like half of the sections stuff personally because its not my kinda thing. I think people got offended because you said it all sounds the same - it doesn't, but that doesn't mean its good either - but I think you're getting a bit harsh telling everyone to get over themselves. They worked pretty hard and you aren't providing any feedback except "I dont like it it all sounds the same". That's not criticism and its not constructive - it's just rude. If you're going to just come in and say everything is crap without giving any good feedback, then tell everyone to get off their high horse when they have a go at you, I think you might be the one who needs to rethink his approach - not the people here. Seriously. Other than that whatever man, if you don't like it its down to you
I actually liked track 10, it was a nice refresher. I just wish it had some build up to something at the end. stating that most of the tracks sound unoriginal, or that they seem to follow the same type of sound that the other tracks follow is constructive criticism. I am pointing out an issue that I see, I could be much much harsher. none-constructive criticism, is "yeah it sucks, go kill yourselves".

fact of it is all the fuckin electro house garbage does sound the same and it sucks balls

Get over yourselves, someone doesn't like the album you guys all produced on a low budget, in your bed-room, on your PC late at night.[/QUOTE] You have no idea what a producer has done to make their track until you ask them, it's terribly stupid to stereotype "hm must've just been all done on a computer at night" the second you hear a synth. My track (the first) is a collage of field recordings I'd recorded over the course of a few months in north and south Ontario last summer, and some of the things that sound like synths and other instruments are actually cuts from these recordings manipulated to hell. The actual synths were not made on a computer either. It took a very long time to produce what ended up just being 2:45. You're allowed to not like a song, but one thing I can't stand is you just writing off something with electronic elements as somehow lesser, and on top of that assuming it's because of laziness or something. People produce the music they want to produce, and they can do it however they want. Not that there's anything wrong with doing absolutely everything in a DAW, but electronic music/experimental music in general is all over the place, even in this case with a free facepunch album. Traditional instruments aren't the epitome of music, and DAWs aren't the epitome of electronic music. You've belittled an awful lot of people's hard work just because it's electronic, rather than taking the songs for what they are.
I like how in the tags, electronic is tagged three times, with dubstep and house. So, we have electronic, electronic, electro, dubstep, house, hip hop, and some drums and bass to choose from. Yep, that seems like its jam packed full with variety, no electronics here! nope.
See? You care more about how it's labelled than how it actually sounds
Nevermind the fact that the tags are probably just thrown in and do not accurately describe the genres of each individual track. Not like anyone would care about the tags anyway.

Considering how you've already expressed a dislike for electronic music, can you see how that might be offensive to people like andokool who obviously doesn't consider his music to be that way at all it's certainly a bit offensive to me because my track is not electronic or house in the slightest so saying it all sounds the same, or sounds like house music, really devalues my song for absolutely no reason. If I want people to dislike my song, I'd like them to dislike it because its a bad song, not because its a drum and bass song.

Yeah, human psychology is weird like that. :smile:
[QUOTE=Andokool12;39936549]See?

The reason im being harsh about it all being electronic, is because the way you guys try to sell it, you guys are trying to say it is a diverse record when its a record that is mostly electronic, house, electro, trance, dance and DnB. If you guys straight up just named it "Facepunch Collaborate:electric avenue" I wouldn't nick pick it.

fyi i was saying the exact same thing scoutking was saying but in a more articulate way lol

It is mostly electronic, yes, but electronic music can mean anything from contemporary EDM to dark ambient. It's not a genre by itself. As for the nitpicking, there are only two house tracks (Safe and Caps Lock), no electro, no trance, two Drum & Bass tracks (Lost in the Balance and Today). Dance is a vague term referring to any kind of music made for dancing, and is not really a genre by itself, unless you mean EDM, which refers to electronic dance music, but even then, EDM is not the majority of this album. I would also like to point out that the diversity of this album is not in the amount of genres, but in the range of genres that are covered.
Obviously what this album needs is more harsh noise
[QUOTE=Hakita;39946578]Obviously what this album needs is more harsh noise[/QUOTE] remember when i did that on one of the previous albums and everyone hated me
[QUOTE=kitteh-nator;39946844]remember when i did that on one of the previous albums and everyone hated me[/QUOTE] but kitteh-nator, everyone hates you regardless of what you do[I]![/I]
