Short and sweet, which i think is best for this "comedy" joint !

Heavyman clearly wears his heart on his sleeve and feels strongly about his subject matter and approaches it in an experimental short sharp burst and there is no faulting that.

Musically after an exciting start the beat falls into a fairly standard rhythm before working solely in unison with the lyrical flow where the angst of the subject may have been better served by the lyric and instrumental working more against each other.

4 point(s) for Performance
The musical track is perfectly well performed and incorporates an energetic live feel that compliments the subject.

In terms of lyrical performance this makes particularly uncomfortable listening. The harmonies do not work, the MC has not mastered his art making it a hard to take his points as seriously as they should be.

6 point(s) for Capture
Production is all perfectly accomplished and works well for the track.

Would have liked to hear a longer track from which to judge.

like the elements of this track, it's quirky...

unfortunately it needs to be more polished



5 point(s) for Performance
convincing yet lacking something...

sounds like it finishes after the intro

clearly at the demo stage.

it's a quarter of a song.

needs something for the audience to latch on to, a hook, a chorus, a clear melody...

interesting

nice to make a point. this could have been done much better with a slightly different musical slant

not a fan of how the lyrics are put together..

maybe this shouldn't have been put into the rap category.

not feeling it, sorry bro.

dude has no groove, really in front of the beats instead of working with is.

dude need s to relax and sound like he really means it.. i'm not convinced... it sounds like he's trying to sound like rather than being the manifestation of the character he's created... doesn't fly with me

Short and sweet! This is direct and entertaining. The lyrics, vocal performance (not going to say melody!) and music relate well together.

7 point(s) for Performance
The performance totally fits the song and the music - very reminiscent of Viv Stanshall!

7 point(s) for Capture
Not the greatest recording but absolutely captures the song and the performance. Good tight arrangement and direct production.

Lots of fun, plenty of clever irony and commentary. Why not?!

Obvious lyrics, didnt really work for me. The music is a really nice work of pastiche! Well arranged and executed!

5 point(s) for Performance
The playing seems good! The vocals need to sit on the band a little better. If the band is gonna play loose like this the vocals have to really lock in!

SO bright - I had to turn my monitor controller down to a barely audible level... Felt like angry bats were fighting in my ears... The balance is pretty good despite that...
