Miracle of Sound: The Dead Don't Shuffle (Left 4 Dead)

Would you kindly explain how it's possible to release a new buttock-kicking song every frakkin' week?! Seriously dude, every week??? You got a time machine, or what?
For the record, I *just* got "Little Sister" out of my head, working on "Trip to Vegas" and "Normandy" and now another bloody song comes out. I have no thoughts of my own anymore, it's all computer game related songs now!

DAMN YOU
My good computer is broken at the moment, and I don't have a 360.
I loved that line when all the other instruments turned down and it was just the vocals, and the slower part of the song felt like a nice break, just like the safe houses.
Of course, the song almost always fits the game.
How many people wanted to say "We only crossed the street" at the end of that?

Agreed. But he might have deserved one here.Vornek said:

I already have the itunes singles, but I'll still end up grabbing the CD. That's a steal at ten bucks, and it'll be nice to play the songs anywhere.Redlin5 said:
AGREED
And I'm totally going to pick up a CD from you at some point. Need some amazing music in my car and I feel I must support an awesome artist in the process.
Please say that was intentional. Please.colostomizer said:
It's MoS's plan. He really is just Soundwave in disguise He will take over your mind with music so you can't fight off the invasion. But at least you'll be humming a cathcy tune as you work for the musically talented robot overlords
I'll have a lagerVornek said:

Y'know... sometimes, if I'm in the right mood, I'll enjoy em. They just... stress me out, hehe.JourneyThroughHell said:
But you and a lot of others love it and I still think the game is good and deserves a song
The answer is truthfully: good old fashioned hard work. I put in the hours to make the songs sound as good as I can for you guys.colostomizer said:
Another really great song man seriously. I have a really hard time liking more than a few songs from any one artist and you are one of the very few that is the exception to that rule. I need to buy an Itunes card soon to just start buying your music. Its starting to get difficult to keep in mind the songs I like from you, I don't want to forget any.Should probably start writing them down. The video was also perfect along with it the way it was done.
Miracle of Sound is very hit and miss for me. They bounce between really tightly constructed interesting music to boring, predictable same old same old. I'm sorry to say it but this one belonged in the latter category for me.
The lyrics in Miracle of Sound are usually the weakest part of the songs for me and that held true here. They have a tendency to be a little too literal. Sometimes they sound a bit awkward and forced.
The melody in this case was really really predictable. As soon as I read the first line of the lyrics before the video started I then sang the next 4 before playing the song and I was about 90% right. I understand that you haven't got that much time to compose these songs but some more experimentation with the melody line would be interesting.
As for the backing, it was mostly alright. A bit cliched but alright. Again, experimentation with different rhythms and playing techniques would be great. This is something I really really liked about Rebecca Mayes. She experimented every week. Every new song was something different. Yeah, they didn't always work but it never stagnated.
Anyway, I don't mean to come off as being nasty if I am, I was just putting forth some constructive criticism.

You'd be amazed how many people complain that they are not literal enough and too 'metaphorical'. You really can't please everyone.HHammond said:
I'm all for constructive criticism but if you're trying to say you guessed the melody before you listened to the song then, well, I smell a big pile of BS and hyperbole.HHammond said:
Listen to Sweet LA, then Necromorph Soup, then Santiago's Lament, then this song, then Little Sister then Trip To Vegas and then try to tell me even one of them sounds remotely similar in genre or style to any one of the others.HHammond said:
You don't like the music - that's totally cool with me. No probs.
But saying it doesn't try to be experiment and differentiate is, in my humble opinion... BS.
P.S. Don't mistake this for aggression or pissyness - I totally respect your opinions. I just disagree quite strongly with some of them. I don't usually respond to these kind of posts, but tonight I feel like it.
One of the most important things to learn in this life is which criticism to listen to, but even more important is learning which to ignore completely.
I just the other day started listening to your music, and I have to say I already consider myself a fan. I don't think I have a standout favorite as of right now, but I can definitely say that in terms of being catchy and replay ability, this one is at the top of the list.
Another excellent song! I'm sad to hear that you aren't always a fan of L4D so thanks for making this as awesome as your other songs.
I'm not going to be able to purchase the album (Paypal, grumble grumble) but I will be keeping up with the iTunes releases. Looking forward to when this is added!
