I think this is the first song where I've gone to the "trouble" of logging in specifically to give a song a poor rating. Usually, if I can't say something nice I don't say anything....

Meh, a rare 5. Though it might make it into the more popular 4 bin soon...
ETA: ok, he sang higher and worser at the end. A 4 it is.

Haaaa - "Helgi" is angry - that's quite rare! I agree - a silly little song! |

The future is nothing more than a construct? How nice it would be if that were true. But the future is here. Always has been.

No, you're not. That warbling sound is a typical sign of good ol' Auto-Tune pitch correction, and apparently they had to use lots of it during the production of this track. I didn't expect to hear something of the like on RP one day...
Yeah, I just came here to make sure I wasn't crazy, it's really, really terrible overuse of autotuning. Voted 1, it's too bad they couldn't find someone who can sing for this track, which seems like it could have been nice. |

Here's an example of a song that's inferior to Dear Prudence.

Good ear. Sounds like a little echo was added in just for good measure.
And here I thought he just had a great voice. |

I just spotted a review of this CD online today. "The second song "Part of you" reveals a hint of something of an aural trademark for this CD - Jon's voice is overdubbed with itself, but in the higher register, a technique repeated throughout, albeit sometimes reversed, the lower register providing the harmony, but the overall effect is rather pleasing."
The full review can be read here. |

It is clear that Redfern should just wait for two or three minutes into the song before he starts to sing, like he does in I Love the Sun.
It lessens the damage.

59% is not a bad start straight off the blocks!
