Song: Out of the Gaze of the Evil Eye
Reviewer: Black Diamonds
Positive Comments: I got a “Brown Eyed Girl” vibe from the whole song, but it goes a bit harder, and is a bit more modern. The band Ok GO could make a song like this. The vocals blend well together, and add a lofty sadness to the happy tones of the instruments. All instruments are level and don’t step on each other’s feet. The notes are all correct, in key and in tune. You can tell there was plenty of thought put into everything. You’re tapping your foot through the whole song.
Constructive Comments: Although the song is catchy with the instrumentation being constant, strong and steady, with nice change-ups there isn’t a part that sticks with me after the song is over. To me, the vocals are a bit too forward, at first, but you get used to it quickly and start to enjoy it. After you listen thorough a few times it grows on you, and you start to hear things you didn’t hear the first time, I hope listeners give it multiple play-throughs. Overall, a great piece, I could imagine ridding through countryside on a road trip with this song playing.
