the take on the dynamics challenge here seems to be "make everything too quiet until the drums come in" which didn't really do it for me, although it does sound pretty sweet turned up! Not crazy about the retro classic-rock-with-some-funky-elements style you're working in but you're clearly doing it well and I DID really like the callback to the spelling challenge though, that was cool!

I’m pretty heavily genre-biased against this—sorry! The performances are good, though. You’ve also incorporated the challenge in a way that enhances the song.

well, you def have Dynamics. I am extremely unmoved by the lyrics, but the music is good and I quite like the chorus. Great solo!

Let me start by saying I love the song. If I was still making them, I’d actually ask to use it in one of my old “Pain For Laughs” videos. The story & lyrics were interesting throughout, and it was a pretty obvious take on the title, but really well done. I don’t know jack about the use of dynamics, but I will say going into the solo felt off. It had me ready to go up, and it went down. I know that the use of dynamics was the challenge, but this was the only point that kinda took me out of the song. Oh, and also I noticed the use of spelling again. I’m curious to see how many Nur Ein challenges you can cram into a song by the time we get to the later rounds….if you’re still with us.

The verse has one of those classic melodies I feel like I should have heard before. I love how the song swells from DI to amps a-crankin'. Any solo with bent harmonics is at least somewhat bombatic. Glenn, spelling was last week.
