[(DEMO) Killer RAT - Toaster Love]

I wasn't expecting a punk song, to be honest. A pleasant surprise. The lighter vocals could be a bit louder so as to be better understood. They're not exactly great singing, but that's the point and they certainly are funny. I definitely prefer the heavier parts, though, especially the part where it suddenly turns almost to metal. I think there could be more variety to them and the lyrics throughout to better illustrate the escalation of toasterfucking. As it is, it starts out pretty hardcore, with the charred dick in the second verse already, so by the end it gets repetitive. Basically, you could have done more of the really heavy grunts and stuff to spice things up because the sung lines are played more for comedy and, while they do sound funny cause of the intonation, it gets a bit grating. So I'd say do that kind of stuff more in the first half and then have the hard lyrics we get at basically the start going in the second half along with the heavier instrumental and trail off less towards the end of the lines to make it a bit more serious so that it's still a funny song, but it doesn't get annoying. Either that or find a way to escalate the humor with the lyrics (probably in a similar way, make them darker), perhaps leading to more of a collapse in the second half.
Keep it up, though, I'd really like to see more from you!

Yeah, I fixed the mixing and the version with louder vocals with higher quality sound will be on bandcamp and the CD in the future. And yeah, I feel like I coulda done more with lyrics, but I just didn't feel it with this song. This certainly isn't one of my favourites on the album. It's the only I have finished recording though.

Hey, maybe if I get all professional like abd record in a studio, maybe I can rerecord some of the bad songs on the album and make them better. I mean I'm way happier with the way this came out than I was with the demo, which is still up for comparison purposes--you are probably not going to like it much, neither did I.

Also mentioning my charred dick was part of the chorus not the verse lol.

Song structure goes, verse, chorus, verse, chorus, breakdown, chorus

I guess the chorus is repetetive though. But hey, this wasn't supposed to be one of the better songs. Still decent though in my own opinion. I'm gonna work on the next one real soon, like tonight soon, and it's also about my dick--all the songs on the album are, if I make any more albums after that there's gonna be way less dick themed songs--but this one's a little more gross than the other one. Just wait for it to be released, you might love it. It'll be heavier no doubt.

[#1: Send Us Your Moan Compilation]

So far, I like this! You guys are funny together, humor a lot very humor. I feel like it's very similar to ACOCk which I really like, that was always fun to listen to. It's got the fanciness of Grounds Patrol and Will, of course, is very good at commercial stuff. Sorry if that sounds weird, but it's true. He has a lot of charm and old-school charisma, I feel. Almost an old-timey radio broadcaster. Looking forward to hearing more from Snacker and Henry. The quiz segment is also a very good idea. Oh man, NG Trivia and creators. Heck, yeah. Props to whoever made the music, it's bomb. I think some of it is from GP?
Looking forward to the future of this show, seems like you guys really are taking all the best aspects of both shows and adding onto them. Covering old and new stuff.

[Episode 10 - Technical Problems & etc. (w/ PapaLegba)]

I really liked this! It was a good episode. Andrew was a cool guest, it seemed like it took you guys a little time to get into the flow, but you were having technical difficulties, so that's understandable. Speaking of which, that was pretty funny. I appreciated you guys' jokes, you also seemed to have some cool music discussions which I don't fully comprehend 'cause I just don't listen to this stuff. I checked out one of The Space Lady's songs just now. Wasn't really my kind of thing, but I'll keep her in mind in the future.
It's nice listening to these earlier episodes, they truly were a humble seed but the glory of current ACOCk sprouted out of them.

[Helloween]

Wow, that was pretty cool! Interesting concept, mixing of sorta romanticized mythos and reality in the sound design. A little corny with the story and laughing/talking sound effects, but I think it works for this. Really like the bass part, and the way you incorporated the monitor beeping into its rhythm. I feel like some things could have been a bit more fluid, like you could have connected it better, so that not every specific sound whole had to phase out so much before the next one came in, it made things a lot more predictable. You had it in the latter half, but the first was pretty slow in that regard. The ambient whooshing could have been more pervasive throughout it. Also, the train sounds more like a plane, but whatever.
A cool concept that's not quite as well executed as it could have been, but that mostly nails the atmosphere.

Soundslave responds:

cheers man awesome review

[Episode 27 - Electric Boogaloo & etc.]

Dope beats and good times, yo! You guys did great checking the chat and entertaining those of us there. Keep it up!

[Episode 25 - ACOCk Community Talk #1]

GoodL responds:

But wait... if you're in it... that means... You suxks!

[Episode 7 - Cartoons & etc. (w/ Will)]

It suxks.

[🌆 #1: March '19 ~ Welcome!]

It suxks.

[🌆 #8: Madness/NSFW Roundtable]

Hey, I finally got around to listening yo one of these! And... it was great! You weren't the only one who made an embarrassing mistake this episode, heh. I thought "People know me as Cethic" was "People know me for something" and so I was confused for a while, thinking Kelzad was switching accents. But enough about that.
Great guests, first of all. Great topics, too. You've sorta picked thematically similar ones. Both Madness and NSFW stuff can face stigma sometimes, and a lot of people don't know much about them. I think it's okay that you didn't know that much about Madness Combat, because it sorta demonstrated the thing where a ton of people are ignorant about it - "Oh it's just a stupid movie/game with lots of killing, didn't that end 10 years ago?". And the questions you asked were great, interesting and insight-providing, both for the Madness part and the NSFW part, boosted by the great personalities of the interviewees. Keep it up, guys, this was great and you've got me hooked!

GroundsPatrol responds:

Thanks TheRoboTrickster! Glad my ignorance was a boon haha

[Djjaner -Fantasy World]

Pretty fun track. The intro and end give off a feeling of adventure, with some perilous undertones. The beat is nice and upbeat. Pretty catchy too. Overall a fun little tune. Also, I just realized when this came out. Wow.
