Wonderful vocal performance. For the most part I love the production. Something about the drums bothers me. They seem a bit quiet, especially the kick. This is all very pretty. It’s a bit samey. It feels like a lyrical challenge song. Ouija-verse- groan. You’ll be fine, the judges will eat up everything about this.

this took a hell of a lot of work, but it was worth it. One of my favourite songs that I've ever been a part of, and I'm so pleased that the challenge pushed us to make it! I've wanted to do a backwards guitar solo for years, haha.

From the first tones, this is gold. I love the way the guitar hook interweaves, and that sort of spaghetti western cum White Wedding melody goes into the vocal. Great vocal performances, lots of nuance. As a guitar geek, I heartily approve of any reverse guitar stuff. When you go to the relative major in the chorus (F, I think, but I'm not next to an instrument), that's a good move too. This song is so loaded with little arrangement details that I wish we'd put more time into ours.

Just to be clear, in my personal metrics, I tend to be more concentrated on "songwriting fight" and "arrangement fight" than "production fight" or "performance fight" when I'm listening to the songs. And ironically enough with the cumulative challenge thing that we seem to be still doing, I (luckily) don't (have to) care if people "meet challenges" or not . So thankfully I'm not a judge, but rather I think, which song would be fun to cover/reinterpret, what lines would be fun to sing, what's fun to reharmonize, etc. After a bunch of listening, I would take the Vowl and Max songs at the top, Rain next. I would have a hard time ranking after that, but every song offers something, so good work and good luck everybody!

Who says sequels are never better? I really didn’t expect this to take such a dark turn, but I rather enjoyed it. The vocals were clear as a bell for me until the very end. Didn’t really care for the “Satanic messages” part of the track. Really enjoyed the story though, and you probably had me hooked with it more so than anyone else this round.
