Spintunes #5 Round 1 Review: John Dahl

John is a online friend of mine that I met playing Minecraft.  While playing one day, we got to talking about SpinTunes & other things.  John was nice enough to offer up his time to judge a round of SpinTunes.  He doesn't have a music background, but that's never been a requirement for being a guest judge.  I don't know anyone who writes music just for other musicians.

If you want to see more of John, you can visit his YouTube channel.  John, and his girlfriend Nikki, are the funniest prank couple on YouTube.  Enjoy the video below to get a taste of pain they inflict on each other.

Spin.

Edric Haleen
Quiet intro, very hard to hear. Whole song is hard to hear. Such a starage combination of beinging and end. Almost wanted to give up listening to the beginning, and the middle was AWESOME. Such a great voice and piano work. Then it drops off again to the quiet voice. Listen to come sail away. Then go down and up but never lose the tone. Strange ending.
B

Felix Frost
Good song. Strong start. Nice melody and good rhythm. Easy to tell what your saying. The variation is a little strange when you do that to use the deep tones. Good song. Odd variety of sounds. Not sure how I feel about it. Think I could like it. Nice chorus.
B

Rats Of The Sky
Nice Beat. Like the intro, could be a few seconds shorter. Nice rhymes. Easy to follow the lyrics. Try adding a little more variety in beats and sounds.

"BucketHat" Bobby
Nice piano intro. I like the old classic piano and voice style. Voice is a little quiet, could be louder. Good instrumentals.
B

The Boffo Yux Dudes
Intro is well. I like the renaissance feel of the song. Voice and music are clear and both can be heard. I like the intruments in the background. Nice song.


Zoe Gray
Voice a little loud for the intro music. I like the speed transition, the begining should be a little faster. I like the lyrics, easy listning and I understand the song. Odd paranormal music solo. Overall interesting song.

Jailhouse Payback
Song kind of starts out of nowhere. Good sound. Your lyrics and music go well together. Good story, easy to follow the music. Hard to use escalator in a song.

Army Defense
Kind of a bland start. Like the gutiar, dont know if the echo-y voice matches the sound well. Like the lyrics, easy to listen to. Like the last day of work part. Don't like the sound effects.

Like the ukulele? Good lyrics, fun song. A little sad, there are some nice people in the world. The music and your lyrics don't match up to well. The beat is a little fast.

Interesting intro. Got my attention. Didn't like the way the lyrics and music sound. Like the background noise. Hard to separate out the lyics and music.

  1. I am pretty sure that chorus's are >supposed< to be repetitive. Other than that and "a little slow" I am not certain why you marked us so low though.
