:!: :!: :!: :!: :!: Haunted sexy future disco.

really wish this had a punchier vocal, it sounds muffled and holds the rest of the song back a bit I think. Everything else is really good, I particularly like the spacy keyboard solo section. The melody is catchy but I just want a bit more energy in the performance or something.

This is a great song, which is slightly ruined by trying to squeeze the word "triskadekaphobia" in where it doesn't fit. It's well paced and the chorus is catchy. Loads of cool stuff going on in the mix, it just needs those vocals to sit better. Your voice is all low end and I feel it would be so much clearer if you cut the low frequencies. As with most of the songs here, you didn't nail the challenge, but the riffs, drum programming and that shift into the chorus all made it an enjoyable listen. That is actually a top class chorus, really nice job.

This one reached up to my #1 spot for a while. The concept is tastefully try-hard and the music almost makes up for it. Execution A, idea B-, hooks: A-

There's a nice bounce to the groove that really gets me nodding along to this. The vocals are a bit buried though, so the words are quite hard to make out at some points but this is a straight forward love song which works very well with the challenge. The rhodes solo gives a nice 70s feel and the production & arrangement are top drawer. Easily the best use of friggatriskaidekaphobia.

I love that chorus melody and I'm a sucker for some vibraslap. Somehow this just felt a bit too washed out for me overall though, not enough dynamic shifts or punch to it, it seemed neither here nor there and ultimately felt kind of boring to me, and longer than its actual runtime even though I find it hard to point to anything wrong in particular (aside from another awkward usage of "friggatriskadekaphobia," but I think you barely get away with it here because of the skillful vocal delivery). Some nice details scattered through there, the little guitar accents, backing vocal swells, and keyboard solo are really tasty. (What is it with the weird sounding tom fills this round, though?) The vocals sounded a bit muffled, some elements of the mix seemed off, which I think hurts this song more because of the genre than if it were a lo-fi G&G number, just feels a bit jarring if it's not quite slick and clean enough production-wise. Meets the challenge, I think!
