:!: :!: :!: Echoey crooner blessings.

muffled vox again but it seems more purposeful here because you've got that whole vintage jazz guitar thing going on. I like the guitar / bass / drums arrangement but the vocal melody doesn't really stick with me like some of the other songs.

Another song about walking under a ladder. You get a pass by virtue of there not being enough competitors.

Feels like it could have any lyrics and you aren't selling it. Suffers from really bad mastering. Execution: C, concept: C, hooks: C

Some vocal timing issues here. It's got quite a jaunty chorus and is very upbeat but suffers in comparison to some of the other "bad luck example" entries. The slide guitar is a nice addition but I wish you'd leaned into the singalong feel at the end a bit more.

Really nice jazzy guitar here, enjoyed the slidey leads and the bounce of the rest. I like the verse and chorus in isolation but they don't flow together very naturally to me. The ending feels unpleasantly abrupt, like you just fell off the stage or your shift ended and you walked out. I'm on the fence about the lyrics. They sound pretty interesting and flow well enough, but also feel a bit like a Wikipedia song, "how many bad omens can I fit into one tune?" I wish this didn't sound so muffled, I often don't mind that kind of thing but it did kind of affect my enjoyment of the tune or desire for repeat listens this time around. It was another one that ended up feeling longer than it actually was, despite it actually being quite short, I guess it didn't quite feel like you'd fully developed the song yet. Meets the challenge!
