I guess it's one of his most well known songs.

Personally, I prefer my hip-hop misogyny a bit more conspicuous.

This is just a horrible din.

What the original deserves. Colbert

by Nightjar Sun May 24, 2020 7:16 pm

I really loathe the sentiment.

Track 6 - Dirt Off Your Shoulder.

Could Julia be my least favourite Beatles song? hmm

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun May 24, 2020 7:17 pm

Julia is a rubbish song.

And weird and creepy.

But not in a good way.

by Nightjar Sun May 24, 2020 7:19 pm

This is horrible.

DM is just using samples played through a keyboard.

Fairlight stylee.

The whole idea of using this track is just an exercise in reaching.

Another load of noisy, annoying load of bobbins.

Rubbish.

Track 7 - Moment of Clarity.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun May 24, 2020 7:21 pm

Happiness is a Warm Gun.

by Nightjar Sun May 24, 2020 7:21 pm

I love 'Happiness'.

It's one of my favourite Beatles songs.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun May 24, 2020 7:24 pm

This one seems to work a bit better.

Mostly because you can't really hear the Beatles.

by Nightjar Sun May 24, 2020 7:24 pm

DM is just doing the same thing again.

Staccato sample-keyboard noodlings with no actual sense that the song in itself could work in a looped capacity.

He could've just fed any song into the computer and pressed return and constructed something as annoying.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun May 24, 2020 7:25 pm

Track 8 - Change Clothes.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun May 24, 2020 7:25 pm

Piggies.

by Nightjar Sun May 24, 2020 7:26 pm

Now this better.

The baroque loop from Piggies is actually noticeable and therefore serves a purpose in regards the entire project.

by Nightjar Sun May 24, 2020 7:27 pm

It's still not much fun to listen to though.

by Nightjar Sun May 24, 2020 7:28 pm

It must be said that the loop does become extremely tedious on a track this long however.

Another misfire from DM.

It would've worked on a very short track.
