great song

really, great song (actually hard to believe this is the same guy who sang all the other crap)

too bad it's in the wrong genre
too bad you upvoted it like crazy

but this song is too nice to award it with my usual zero, i mean, i can even hear the lyrics! Make more music like this and I would in fact believe that you could get in the top10 (of indie rock) in an honest way.

PS
This is world class music, could you please explain to the forum why your band (you mention on your profile that a-rest is a band) is nowhere to be found on google, or myspace?

How do you do it?
Im so jealous... your music must REALLY be GOOD.

0/5 0/10

To be honest, I think that you sample this stuff straight off some instrumental CD and then record some mumbling over it. But since I can't prove that, I'll keep it at thinking.

[will we share a certain time]

actually

actually, I kinda like this one.

Still...
3/5 0/10

that last part is just because you upvoted it and I can't stand that.

[the inspiration´s getting wild]

strategic advice

Quick! Create some new profiles man, you have to add some new reviews!

Seriously, you should do what you're good at! (It certainly isn't making music)

[they come to kill them]

HAAAAAHAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAA

Well well well,

If it isn't the musical mastermind of NG. Of course this track is awesome. Why else would this track have ONE THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY ONE MORE VOTES than the second best artist in this genre?

hmmm. though question...

let me think: You are kind of pathetic and created a couple of different profiles, so you can vote one time from your own house, one time from your boss' computer and one time from your boyfriends house.. Am I getting close?

0/5 0/10

this track sucks

Hi a-rest,

First of all, since you seem to dominate the pop-genre on this website, I decided to check all your tracks! Your songs definately have 'something', they feel like the records I grew up with, such as simon and garfunkel, jethro tull, etc etc. In short, they take me back. However, I have two major arguments for awarding you this relatively low score:

1. I feel like, the pop genre should be for modern music. There probably is no indie rock genre, but maybe one should be created. This really isn't pop music and to be honest, I don't understand why no-one else seems to have a problem with that...

2. The quality of your recordings is pretty bad in most of your songs. I mean, the instruments sound good, warm and intimate, but there is a huge amount of hiss and crackle in them. Have you considered building a studio of some sort to get better sound quality?

Lastly, I don't know how you get so many votes? Do you have any suggestions? Everytime I upload a track I get like 20 votes if I'm lucky...

Addendum:
You didn't respond to my review, but my track got downvoted (with exactly one vote) from 4.2 to 3.6 or something. Must have been someone with a voting power of around, oh I don't know, SEVEN!? Voting a ZERO! Im sorry, but I don't think my track was THAT bad. Feels more like you are systematically blocking other artists from getting in the top 10.

Don't you know that when you do that, your top10 position doesn't mean anything anymore? Don't you realize that you are basically admitting that your songs are crap? (actually I don't think they're crap, but they're certainly not top10 pop material)
