And I Saw You
by Ben Lester

@flamingyesdept Congratulations on finishing your first album, and having the guts to put it out there! It took me literally YEARS to do that myself. Unfortunately you're going to get negative feedback along the way, Radiohead got panned by critics, Led Zeppelin got panned by critics, it happens to everybody. Don't let two ungenerous commenters get you down :) I haven't listened to the album extensively enough to give feedback, and quite frankly you probably don't need it, just keep doing what you're doing.

Hey I'm an 18 year-old in my bedroom, cut me some slack. I didn't want slick production as I think it ruins most modern recordings and makes them dull and lifeless. My influences include Big Stars' 3rd, which has very loose and raw production which I find incredibly powerful and beautiful. Naturally I haven't been as successful as that, but again, it's a debut by a teenager. Give me a break why don't ya x

The lyrics I could decode are basic. The production is horrid, the singing is usually miles below every other noise, and it's all muddy. The singing is not intentional, it seems like the melodies were imagined in the studio. If the mix was more balanced, it'd be more fishy, and less bishy.

Kind of boring ambient. Feels like a bunch of influences smashed into a can and put on my plate. Somehow the synth was off key at some point. The guitar work was sloppy. All around, not a very solid album, at all.

My album :) Thought I'd add it to the site to hopefully entice a couple of listeners! ( It's only in my best of chart to add it hehe I'm not so bigheaded ;) )
