like the last two songs this has a nicely punchy mix and crunchy guitars, perhaps to a fault - I kinda feel like I've heard this before in the preceding rounds, although maybe that's just because I'm not used to three BSS songs in a row with the same lead singer. The harmonies are good though, the spoken-word bridge with the slide guitar is a nice change-up and I like the concept, that documentary is a fun inspiration!

This song feels kind of rigid. Nothing in particular is carrying the groove. Everything feels very stilted. The chorus changes it up and we finally get some sustain, but still not feeling the groove. There's a painful amount of high end in the drums/perc and a lack of low end. The concept of the song is very interesting: a contest where the last person to take their hand off a truck wins the truck. Did not see that interpretation coming but it totally works. Harmony vocals are there. Subtle, but they do add something.

another good opening salvo, great riff. The feel of the singing in the chorus needs to elevate a little more, I want to be carried up, and I don’t quite feel like it got there. Love the slide. I loved this documentary when I saw it, fun.

This was my favorite on my first listen. I am loving Geech BSS.
Strength: great performance, good hooks
Weakness: narrative could use some narrowed-in focus

I love the falling/climbing riff, my favorite part of this song. Original idea for the lyrics, didn't see that approach to the title coming--though simultaneously weirdly literal! The bridge is a nice changeup in terms of style and sonic palette with the shift in guitar style. I especially like the bit leading out of it where the percussion picks up. "Hand on the truck" kept making me think of "band on the run" but there's something very sonically awkward about the phrase that felt pretty awkward to me when it kept being repeated--maybe the fact of it ending in a K kind of keeps it from feeling fluid as a sung hook. I think the song is pretty solid overall and I think I could have ranked it higher in earlier rounds, but it just felt sort of boring and workmanlike after repeated listens, the hook is great but ultimately it plods a little by the Nth time through. The guest harmony parts sound good, they're not in your face but blend in nicely and give it a good lift.

I feel like this song isn't funny enough to be a comedy song but still not serious enough to be a serious one. This leaves it adrift somewhere between the two extremes. None of the melodies particularly hooked me and, while It's an unusual take on the title, it just doesn't really land for me. I do enjoy the call & response at the end though and the little guitar runs add a 70s AM radio feel to proceedings.
