BATTLE OF THE BANDS 9: MAGIC KOMPA.RONALD LEBEAU.SUSPENSE

[BABYFACE]

FINALLY I FINISHED LISTENING TO THOSE 3 SONGS. HERE IS MY OPINION.

SUSPENSE
TOU LIMIN: 6/10

THE GROOVE IS OK, BUT SOMETHING IS MISSING IN THE LYRICS, I DON'T FEEL IT AT ALL. THE SINGER IS TRYING TO EXPRESS HIMSELF, BUT HE IS NOT GOOD AT IT. IF HE WORKS A LOT, HE WILL BE A BETTER SINGER, BUT THE MUSICAL BACK UP MADE HIS PART.


RONALD LEBEAU/BOSS MICKO
PA FE M SA :8/10

THE COMPAS GROOVE IS PRESENT, I FEEL IT. THEY WORKED ON THE MUSIC, THE TEMPO IS VERY HEAVY AND SO REAL. THEY IMPRESSED ME. CONTINUE LIKE THAT.

MAGIC KOMPA
AMBYANS: 7/10

THE GROOVE REMINDS ME A LIL BIT OF ZENGLEN STYLE AND THAT MEANS THEY WORKED HARD TO BRING IT THERE. GREAT TEMPO. THE SINGER NEEDS TO WORK. BUT A GOOD WORK AT LAST.

Magic Konpa - "Anbyans"

Not a bad song. The vocals are weak. And the horns sound too cheap, they're annoying. The groove is ok, it sounds a bit like Zenglen. The guitarist is good. The bass is too strong, maybe that's why the drums are almost inaudible. The song can have a better mixing and mastering. Good effort from an underground band. 5/10

Ronald Lebeau - "Pa Fè m' Sa"

I think I've heard this song already in one of the battle of the bands. Decent song, pretty good arrangements. Good background vocals. I like the keyboard solo at the middle of the song. Again the horns... annoying! 6/10

Suspense - "Tou Limen"

Man, the vocals definitely killed the song. Big turn off! Too bad they didn't put more emphasis on the sax, that could have saved the song. 3/10

I'm still trying to disect the songs.

[DJ Kreyol]

*MAGIC COMPAS "Ambians": I think out of all the groups in this battle, Magic Compas understands what the public wants. Now, they may have not the maturity and experience, but they have some kind of an idea. The singer when singing isnt that great, but his animation isnt bad at all. Is the band inspired from Zenglen? Yea, but what else are they gonna listen to all the way in Michagan. This guitarist saved them BIG TIME. Magic Compas is on the RIGHT track. But please guys CHANGE the name. This name wont work. If you need another name ask Pat to make a contest where some KM! Members can help you make one. But change your name.

GRADE: 5/10
_________________________________________________________

*RONALD LEBEAU "Pa Fem Sa": Very very average track man. I mean, this is for KM! man, you have to pull out all your guns. Go back to the drawing board and figure something out. There was absolutely nothing I remembered in that song.

GRADE: 3/10
_________________________________________________________

*SUSPENSE "Tou Limin": Wow, what happened to the singer. Either this style of music doesnt fit him or he shouldnt be singing at all. The over-all arrangement of the song is a lil bit under average, nothing impressive at all. I would advise this band to figure out what they really want to do with their lives, because maybe music may not be the answer.

GRADE: 2/10
