Members sydfan Posted February 28, 2003 Members Share Posted February 28, 2003 Not really my style of music...I'm listening to "One Day Left" right now. I dig the guitar...the riff and the tone. My problem with it is that the melody is SO predictable. I've heard this song a million times. I'm not trying to be mean...please don't misunderstand me. I don't think it sucks, it's just very predictable... "Life After Death" -- Your riffs are really catchy. Nice little fills in there. Again, the vocals are just nowhere. I think you guys have some real potential, but the vocals and melodies have to improve. What's your guitar rig? Nice tone. Is it some sort of direct thing? X-cape--Big time Sabbath influence. Sorry guys...I just can't get past the vocals. The music really rocks... Sorry to be so negative guys. I admire your effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fat_Sachel Posted March 1, 2003 Members Share Posted March 1, 2003 Heres my review (I know ya dinna ask for a review of the band, just the tunes, but I think its needed) The website is good, no-nonsense "youre not only gonna listen to us, youre gonna wanna be partyin when you do!" blatan self-promotion that it takes to get a foot on the property, let alone in anyones door. It clearly shows your ambition and desire to make sure everybody is rockin, and in no uncertain terms either hehe. It was the ONLY thing that inspired me to download, not one but TWO! of your tunes (this is saying alot, Im in the sticks and RARELY EVER download full songs on my slooooooooowwww 24k dialup) That said, do not be confused into thinking I D/l'd the 2nd song because I liked the 1st so much. After listening to X-cape (it was the smallest d/l hehe) it was out of total curiousity that I d/l'd Life After Death. I had to know. Could it be true that these 4 seemingly younger musicians could indulge my taste for nostalgia and late 80's, Marshall-Stack, Ozzy-Meets-Metallica Metal Riffage so accurately??? So I d/l'd Life After Death and Yes!! The vocals fit the music well, but the harmonizing backups come off funny. The lyrics could be anything... like someone else said, they sound like 1000 other songs Ive heard and the subject matter is nothing new, and the vocals deliver it rather flat, no pun intended. The drum playing is pretty creative but the tracks are muddy and undefined in the mix, especially the kick...touch too much verb maybe? The guitar is tight, good riffs, but that marshall stack sound (i dont care if hes really playin thru a mesa, its got that sound CLEARLY dialed in) is really what throws the whole thing...it is what I think is lending that "commonality" to the sound. If I could hear the bass clearly enuf in either track Id comment on that also but... Im still debating whether to add them to my mp3 playlist...theyre not bad and I miss 80s thrash-metal PS...if you suggest one of your tunes that is different sounding than the ones Ive mentioned Id love to listen, Im curious if there is any versatility to Pranxter.

Members drummer_jay Posted March 2, 2003 Author Members Share Posted March 2, 2003 thanks for the thoughts guys! I appreciate them no matter if thier good or bad! As far as something different, try Errie...... it's got more of a system of a down style to it. We have a slower song that sounds so much like a 80's power ballad thats is not ever funny. It's called If Tomorrow. However, I have to upload that still. Thanks allot for the comments on the website, I do all that myself and put allot of work into it, it's nice to know it's working the way I want it too! Once again, thanks and keep em coming! jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
