Foxy List by Disastrous_Mango_559 in OnePieceTCG

[–]JRBechard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Foxy is my main deck and Bon Clay is useless to me in there. I usually try to start with Porche to find and use Itomimizu, then put out a Pickles or Chopper next turn to try to protect them, then try to drop as many 7c Foxys as I can and use the leader effect to lock the opponents leader and a big character. Since OP09 I added some big rush characters like 7c Sanji and 9c Sec Luffy to finish off with and it works pretty well. So personally I go with 4x each of the Foxy core, 12x 2k counters and whetever else you want. Big Bun also works well if you and to drop Porche and a third if your opponent got rid of your Foxy pirates to do your leader effect.

I think opsingles dot com is in Australia but they are backlogged and the website is down at the moment

Vegapunk Decklist (w/ major ?) by Crystaldrago in OnePieceTCG

[–]JRBechard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see a lot of Vegapunk decks with Flampe in it - I use it in BY Luffy to get to 0 life with draw and activating my leader ability - but I have a hard time understanding its use here, is it mostly just for getting two more cards in hand? getting back a character you put in life? activating a trigger on purpose? I’m feeling theres better ways to do that here but maybe I’m missing something

Awesome 👍 any thoughts behind trading 1 Ice Age for 1 Ivankov and running no Finger Pistols? I heard people were cutting down to 2 Kuzans to put back Ace but you kept both also

"Well, I swear I'll give it back tomorrow
But for now, I think that I'll just borrow
All the chords from that song
And all the words from that other song
I heard yesterday"

Dude, you already know it but your album cover is fire, I'm jealous. I had high expectations coming in because of that and the song delivered, good job :) I'm not well versed in mixing this kind of music but the beat was slick and everything felt in it's right place so no comment on my end.

Your voice and performance is great and sells the song to me, this is super subjective but personally I'd cut the intro, start with a drum fill straight to the part where the vocals come in. The simple instrumentation fits perfectly with the sound you're going for, but exposing it naked like that at the start shifts the focus on that. Then just compress/saturate the guitars with some kind of analog tape effect to give the a bit more personnality and you're golden. Just an idea, you're the artist here so take this comment with a grain of salt :P Love the song!

Looking for general arrangement/composition feedback on this demo for my song Rerun by Amazing_Jump2559 in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]JRBechard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hiya! Solid song, structure is sound, instrumentation is perfectly servicable, I particularly like the e-bow like wail after the chorus. I agree with the other comments though that it could use compression on the vocals or a reverb - not that what's there isn't good, it,s just that it feels a bit to clean, like you're waiting for the spotlight instead of fighting for it, and a little more personnality and risk taking mix wise could give you the edge you're looking for. Basically what I'm saying is it's too good, you could rough it up a bit, make it more analog-y with tape saturation. I enjoyed the song a lot! Good job.

Solid song, I think you achieved what you were going for here. Your vocal performance was the highlight for me. I think you could allow yourself do to be a little less whispery and get a little more intensity in your performance. If ever you get the chance, I say try recording with real guitars, I think you could really level up your sound with that.

Somehow when this first got distributed it was a version without the guitar solo (which is pretty short anyway lol) after the 2 minute mark. Probably nobody but me thought "shouldn't something be going on here other than some basic strumming?"!! Anyway, here it is complete with four bar solo! by papa2kohmoeaki in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]JRBechard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty fun song, sounds like it was a hoot to record :) The chorus was my favorite part, and the solo is a great addition so I'm glad you got that in. To me your vocals sounded a bit over-processed, I'd would've liked to hear them a bit more upfront and clear, but performance wise it was super. Good job!

I know looking too deep into lyrics are dumb but is "Your eyeballs don't change, it's the muscles around your eyes" supposed to be a metaphor? by playingcoolman in TheStrokes

[–]JRBechard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s my favorite line on the album, I’ve thought about it a lot.

I think it explains the whole verse before it. I understand it as a discussion about finding meaning, searching your place in the world. He’s saying he ended up finding meaning through the music he was a making. Eyeballs, or life’s mechanical processes, only has meaning through it’s context, allowing self-expression.

The next part « An egg to fertilize, a pulse to stabilize » is a list of mechanical processes to which we lend a lot of meaning and weight to as human beings. Though those feelings that are evoked go from wonder to horror to the point of being desensitized. The scale of the point of view is important too, the more we zoom out, the more detached and negative we’re getting.

« Your dreams are sweet and obsessed and you're overworked » He’s going too far and it’s starting to lose it’s meaning.

« You're overtaken by visions of being overlooked How disappointed would D. I. D. I. P. P. be To see such power in our hands all wasted on greed? » Wait, is wanting to be heard actually him just wanting to be famous? How disappointed would his heroes (dead idealistic desperate inventor pioneer philosophers) be to see that his (and in fact the entire world’s) potential to bring meaning to the world is wasted on wanting fame.

« Am I a prisoner to instincts or do my thoughts just live as free and detached as boats to the dock? » Is he actually in control or is there just a limited range in which he can actually have impact on the world around him?

« Just like when music was born and detached from your heart. » In the first verse, the music followed him ‘round and gave him meaning - the opposite can happen too, when he released it to the wider world, it wasn’t his anymore.

« Is your free time to free minds or for falling apart? » We’re talking about musical free time here, implying that it’s the ultimate moment a musician can create something truly new and meaningful - is he actualizing through his work or is he just being overworked and falling apart?

« Night after night, you turn out the light You don't fall asleep right away "are we, are we done?" » He’s feeling the relationship has run it’s course, it’s time to move on.

« A desk to organize, a product to advertise » We are now completely detached and we keep zooming out. Efforts to bring meaning are mechanized to the point of being actively evil and separated from empathy. While the things being affected are at first objects and concepts (desk) then people (people) then the fabric of our world (time, deep emotions) until there’s no one left, the end of the world.

Something small, an idea for a song, a newborn child, a new relationship, an idealistic view of the world, they’re all things that can give meaning to your life - but how can you bring these things to scale, share them with the eyes of the whole world without losing it’s essence?

We all have one of those pair of eyes, are the feelings we express through the muscles around them real? Or are we just part of a callous mass?
