Daniel Eboli´s "Sapiens Ludens"

Monday, January 11, 2010

Artist: Tomas David Hood

Title: ) The Offering (BMI
Genre: Guitar instrumental easy listening

Interesting info at the artist´s page:

"» highest in charts: # 1 (194,847 songs currently listed in Rock)
» highest in sub-genre: # 1 (41,741 songs currently listed in Rock > Rock General)
» today's position: # 9 in Rock
» today's position in sub-genre: # 3 in Rock General..."

First of all it is not rock.

I wonder if the fact that the author is a paying member at SC have something to do with the charts.

Let´s face it, #1 among 194,000 songs is a bit forced.

I´ve heard lots of songs better that this one at the genre that dont even got the top ten. I could give here a lot of examples.

This song is not bad but is boring as hell. Makes me yawn.

Guitar performance is ok but needs serious corrections on so called "digitations". Also, the choice of scales are not working to my ears.

I like the chords the author used here but the absent of a bass makes it difficult to understand.

The synth strings sound is weak for my taste, it is not working for me either.

Overall sound is crisp and clear. Excellent work at the mixing desk.

I have to be honest as usual, it is well done but I did not liked it.

  1. This reviewer has strange notions, if you follow his reviews of others. He applies his preference for experimental music (can some experimental music even be called music?) to more traditionally-crafted music. Sometimes he gets right on the money, other times, he is just not getting it. Some of the songs that he does not like are in actuality pretty good. The proof is in the pudding; check out the many songs that he does not like, and see the many favorable reviews, comments, and stars. There is a trend the develops in this reviewer's body of work.

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, of course. Same with music. This reviewer has an interesting taste in music.
