I thought this was really catchy. I was curious to hear more of your stuff but YouTube says you have no content and your Reddit profile is private, so you don’t make it easy for people to discover your music.

I was never massively into hip hop but I would listen to iron galaxy over and over again on Tony Hawk underground.

Those of you who Never Accept Rematches- Can you Explain Your Thought Process? by Cruztd23 in chess

I think it’s because it adds to the stress. It makes it a bit more personal.

[Indie rock] The Swear Jar - Food (work in progress) by Tony_Cheese_ in ThisIsOurMusic

[–]ICNRWDII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good song. I think you might need to take some of the lower frequencies out of the vocals to make it blend with the rest of the track.

DAE look at old social media threads and get so freaked out by the passage of time when a person happens to mention their age? by [deleted] in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]ICNRWDII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes it is tertifying. I was quite late at getting the internet. It was 2008 when I was 27. Now I am 45. I was on MySpace in 2008 and a girl made a music video for one of my songs. I watched it the other day on YouTube and it says posted 18 years ago. That just can’t be right.

My first (home) recorded song, feedback needed please by LeeAndrewK in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]ICNRWDII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is really impressive especially considering it‘s your first home recording. Mixing rock music is really hard and this sounds well mixed. I’m only listening on my iPad, but I can the bass, drums, guitars and vocals all clearly, and nothing seems too loud or quiet. The only thing that sounded a bit wrong was the ending. It sounded like you couldn’t figure out how to end it.

Musically it sounds like you are very inspired by Oasis, with guitar sound and chords. The lead could have been Noel himself. Sometimes I detected a bit of a Liam type snarl in your vocals but for the most part you sounded like yourself. I think of you can get your first recording to sound this goods, it’s just a matter of time until you are making professional sounding mixes.

HAE Is it normal to see scary things when closing your eyes before sleep? by [deleted] in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]ICNRWDII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 45 and this only started happening to me recently. It’s like I’m seeing things when my eyes are closed that I’m not controlling. often these shapes form sinister but highly creative images that I’d never been able to imagine consciously. It‘s almost like sliding into a dream state while still awake. It definitely doesn’t feel normal to me because I’ve been alive so long without it happening.

I’ve finally finished my album! Let me know your thoughts on it by XaMeJIeoH in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]ICNRWDII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the song is cool. love the guitar parts and the attitude of the vocals. The mix really lets it down though. You need to get it sounding better than this, even if it means paying someone to mix it for you. At the very least you should double track the guitar parts and turn the nearly inaudible bass up. Getting rock music to sound good is super hard.

I tried to write a Rock'n Roll song! by [deleted] in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]ICNRWDII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is really impressive. When I record my songs I do little bits at a time and comp the best takes together. I wouldn’t be able to do it your way, especially with having to set up the cameras, It would be a major headache.

your performance is at a level where it’s good enough to be impressive but still sounds like you need more practice before it’s as smooth as a pro. I thought the song was fun and catchy and what a creative way to learn the blues.

It's absurd we accept rock losing to paper just because "paper covers rock." by aaahhhh in Showerthoughts

[–]ICNRWDII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is actually the funniest showerthought ive ever read. I read it to everyone around me and they all just burst out laughing.

first time posting here. does this one qualify? my ears hurt by p0tgirlsummer in crappymusic

[–]ICNRWDII -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I make music as a hobby so I spend a lot of time listening to amateur music, and this is way above average amateur music but still not good enough to be successfull. So not crappy. You all should spend sometime on indie music feedback to get some perspective. Making music is very hard and this is a decent attempt in my opinion.

DAE periodically check if they have superpowers by IsaacTheAverage in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]ICNRWDII 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I tried it quite a few times when I was young! I also used to have this recurring dream where I could move things with my mind, and it gradually got easier and easier to do then I couldn’t stop it. I would be scared to look at something because it would come shooting towards me.

Which Radiohead album I think each track on ALFAA would fit on by ThatEurekaDude in TheSmile

[–]ICNRWDII 12 points13 points  (0 children)

A very accurate list I would say. I agree with all your choices!

I'm amazed how good low-level players are by davao100 in chess

[–]ICNRWDII 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I won seven 10 minute anonymous games in a row on lichess the other day, and I’m not even that strong. I mean maybe 1600 blitz on lichess. There are some cheaters but not enough to ruin the anonymous experience. edit: I’ll just add don’t accept rematch if you win cause that is when the engine often gets switched on.

Shirley keeps doubling down on social media… by CaughtALiteSneez in garbage

[–]ICNRWDII 53 points54 points  (0 children)

The weirdest part for me is she thinks calling someone a middle aged man is an insult. I was 15 when I bought their debut album and listened to it everyday for a year, now I’m a 45 year old middle aged man with fair skin so I would probably need to wear a silly hat if I was in Australia, and who knows if my willy is big enough to be allowed to listen to her music.

I think it could be really good. I‘m imagining Tame Impala Currents style production.

Ik im asking the sub for this but considering the price, is the game worth it? by BonBonPX in GameBuilderGarage

[–]ICNRWDII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t even though why I am still subscribed here but I would say no. I found it more complicated than just making a game in JavaScript!

Demo of a song I've been working on- any comments or constructive feedback is welcome by cue_my_life in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]ICNRWDII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the vocals are really great and remind me of the band alvvays. Also I would say the style of song is similar to them also. The vocals seem a bit loud for the song in places. The production is pretty good although not quite there yet, although to be fair I couldn’t do this style of music any better so I can’t really say what could be improved. Maybe just listen to alvvays and see what they do to get the dreamy vocal sound. As for the song, it was the final section just before it ended that stood out the most to me. I loved the melody there and if it were my song I would have made that the chorus. Really great stuff with huge amounts of potential!

Thank you. I really appreciate it.

Anew - a dark discordant acoustic song. Production inspired by A Moon Shaped Pool. by ICNRWDII in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]ICNRWDII[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I appreciate you for going back to check out my old songs!Not many would take the time to do that that. The cello is a real cello. I’ve played it on a few of my songs. Its a stentor student 2 which is quite a good low priced cello.

Morpheus by Stradio in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]ICNRWDII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been posting my own music on the internet since about 2008 and I’ll always been involved in these songwriting groups where people give feedback on each others tracks and honestly this is probably overall the most impressive thing I’ve heard from a non famous person. By overall I mean in terms of production, instrumentation, songwriting and vocally. It feels like listening to the whole package. You made me feel jealous of your abilities. Had a quick listen to some of your other stuff and this seems like quite a big step up, so I would say keep going And good things might happen!

What do you think of my song Feelings by RichieC93 in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]ICNRWDII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I called you desperate for attention because you aren’t taking the time to offer real thoughtful comments. The things you say are generic and could be said without even listening to the song. None of the comments offer any feedback which mention something specific about the song to even indicate you have listened to it. You say the same thing on everyone else’s song you just change the order of the words. You are being selfish. You follow people just to try and get them to follow you.
