This song earned you last place!? WTF? I mean, it's ain't great, but LAST? No justice. There's less interesting stuff going on in this song than your last two. Guitars and drums are spectacular as usual. Cool breakdown. As you yourself noted, the vocals are weaker than you're capable of. Melodically speaking, I like whatever's going on in the last 30 seconds of the song the most, and I wish there had been more of that earlier. As for the challenge, it sounds like you learned how to pronounce a few words backwards and then recorded that, which is a trivial but admittedly creative way to address the challenge, especially considering your recording restrictions. I wish it had a more obvious connection to the song. Like last year, I was very surprised you didn't make it farther in the competition.
