SONG COMPOSTITION & LYRICS

whoa, ok. i'm struggling for context here;
i kinda like where you're trying to go with this,
but you're either missing something or you're years ahead of everything...
make the songs a little more various, get a direction to the material.
6/10
the structure wasn't a main part of the tunes which in effect caused any good parts to be swamped out.
the projection of the vocals meant every track sounded lifeless
5/10
live hiphop in all its forms is a slippery beast & the empty room doesn't help with clarifying the sound.
that said, it still sounds very messy.
it's all about the beats, but they're frequently drowned out by the smothering 'ambient' samples
and the, frankly, irritating beatboxing.
live rapping requires stripping down the sound so we can actually hear what's being said
(it'll also then

COLLECTIVE ABILITY OF MUSICIANS

there's no shortage of ideas here, and the programming shows promise -
if the beats become a bit more prominent.
beatboxer competent but over-used.
vocals rushed & samey - slow down, breathe, relax.
6/10
the beatboxer has a lot of talent, give him room in your tracks to shine.
6/10
eliminate the need to to tell me what the song's about,
on the off chance anyone gives a fuck)
once the frontman had calmed down a little, at least everything kept in time
but there's very little light & shade to differentiate the songs.
curiously, more

STAGE PRESENTATION & PERFORMANCE

ah, it's tough for electronic acts.
the masks were a good idea,
but either play up to the mystery or just go for the "bunch of guys" angle.
music needs to be mixed sharper for live performance,
vox need more definition, less mumbling, more variation.
5/10
very odd stage banter, unintentionally camp,
nice 'gimmick' of masks but the lack of energy from the other members
was mirrored by the awkward frontman,
who doesn't have to explain his songs
2/10
could be done at the sample delivery level
rather than hitting the 'loop' button and letting it run.
visually it was all a bit static, but then the music never really threatened to inspire movement

POTENTIAL

certainly not a saturated market around here,
but you need to get either sharper or nastier to become a viable live act.
it's a show... so perform some, you grok?
6/10
there were many brief moments of creative potential
but the lack of any direction caused these to be lost & forgotten.
less is more :)
6/10
from band nor audience.
this all sounds relentlessly negative,
which is a shame as i would imagine there's potential for something fine here.
it's just very, very one

OVERALL COMMENTS

you're either taking too many drugs, or not enough!
seriously, though - interesting & bold effort, but needs a real good polish.
6/10 - 29/50
i'm all for experimental hip-hop
but this has to be backed up with creativity, talent and showmanship
refine everything back to the basics,
use your beatboxer more.
get more variety in vox
6/10 - 23/50
note at the moment & the vocals never pause for breath.
simply reproducing a recorded product will not work live
and that is what needs fundamentally changing
as, currently, it all just seems like noise.
