Retsej Retsej: Press Coca Cola Totally Amazing 2 Band: The Retsej Genre: Spoken Word -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Review of Coca Cola Totally A.. by The Retsej Genre: Spoken Word 2.9 IT'S TOTALLY AMAZING Very nice. Time seems to stand still. I am paralyzed in the moment. Hey it's a little crazy so great.... get lost in some insanity. Perfect. Let's hang out. Way to help people let go! 10 Extra Credit: Male Vocals, Female Vocals, Guitars, Drums, Bass, Keyboards, Programming, Production, Lyrics, Melody, Beat, Mood, Originality, Grooviest Rhythm. - flier19 Atlanta, Georgia February 24th, 2008 unique This is cool, and wierd, and different, and I love it! This is like nothing I have ever heard before. This sound is really great. The music and the lyrics are both creepy and shady. The music matches perfectly with the lyrics and it really creates an image of what is happening. Very cool, Really great! - Appledapple669 from Waterville, Maine on 23Jan2008 industrial jazz like the sweet beats mixed with the grouchy voice. dig the horn section keeping the melody going. overall a great track. curious as to what accent the man who is selling the coke has. keep it up. - bladefate from Longmont, Colorado on 17Jan2008 so clear this is crisp and refreshing. sounds like you're gonna rap. nice change sound. real i guess. coca-cola songs are better than pepsi. i guess this song was inspired by a cool refreshing cola. need a bridge or a breakdown. - davey_hubey from Nyc, New York on 6Jan2008 Ha ha you got it coke addictive You got it - a slimy male caracter - sounds good. It can make it in a movie. I like it. - HakanS from Beddingestrand, Sweden on 5Jan2008 Earth Odyssey 2 (alternate version) Band: The Retsej Genre: Spoken Word Captivating You have a unique vocal sound--a gravelly voice that seems to chew up words and spit them out. The lyrics are thoughtful and the rhymes feel natural, often balancing between the "I'm almost kidding" comical to an "I'm dead serious" irreverence. The music is mellow and almost trance-like. However, the track would benefit from some experimentation with the music. The repetition becomes a bit grating after five minutes. Overall, my favorite part of this piece is your delivery. - ScottSiders from Long Beach, California on 22Jan2008 Freaks of Nature Band: The Retsej Genre: Comedy Different Good beat, voice sounds evil, almost like a mad scientist. Funny , very funny lyrics. - zonicburn from Grand Gorge, New York on 10Sep2007 My Very Own Girl Monster Fourteen minutes of Frankenstein! Wow. As for a critical review for the songwriter's benefit, this comic piece does develop from the broad Frankenstein statements (that we all know), into intricate details that Mel Brooks could never even imagine. I love it when the Monster goes to college! Here is where the writer comments on our society, and the song takes on a multi-level theme. The vocalist keeps in character for the entire song, with a great at specific points, for emphasis. When the songwriter compares himself to his monster at 4:00, signing him up for an Internet Dating Service with "switched parts", it really caught my interest. While the production is obviously synthesized, it fits the entire "mechanical/electric" theme of the song, so I think it was a good choice of accompaniment. I would have preferred to hear a verse/chorus/bridge format, instead of a rambling "folk" style of storytelling. But, that's just me. Inventing his "sexual" female monster at 7:03 added another layer to the story, yet the melody remains the same. The chord structure is getting repetitious at this point, but I listen for more of these entertaining lyrics. The phrase in the outro, "I wish she wasn't so ugly, but thanks for loving me anyway" was a perfect wrap for this tune. Happy Halloween! Blast this song from your house this October, and I bet you won't be bothered by those silly kids at your door. - Anchor from Nashville & Hollywood, Almost Heaven on 29Aug2007 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Golden Rope Band: The Retsej Genre: Spoken Word Good Rough Beat This song starts with a nice beat and the vocals are rough sort of like Howlin Wolf. This is a creative use of music and spoken word to get a point accross. - OO@19475349AdventuresofFred from Beverly Hills, California on 18Nov2007 Variegation Band: The Retsej Genre: Spoken Word good I like this song, its catch. Love the vocals, the singing brings out the background music - HelloCentral from Bend, Oregon on 4Sep2007 - www.garageband.com/retsej (Jan 22, 2008) 2008 Retsej 1 capture 20 Aug 2008 JULAUGSEP20200720082009 About this capture Home Bio Music PRESS Photos Buy Guestbook Links Join the email list!
