Thanks for your input. I'm aware I have an accent haha, other than that, the vox on the chorus are doubled, so I guess that plus my accent makes it a bit hard to understand. Still, I can try and do something about it for the project version.

Reminded me of The Distillers or The Muffs. Either way sounds good to me, good job.

Yumyum good.

The vocals are bit too buried at times though.

Nono actually I really love the accent, I think it adds to the charm of the vocals .) And I just realized that I didn't really mention it in my original comment so I'll say it here, that I think the vocal delivery was awesome and you were def. the right singer for this. I don't have enough of a producer ear to say for sure, but it's possible that the vocals in some parts could have been taken up or EQed to bring out the frequencies of the consonant sounds (or other stuff EQed out of the way of those frequencies so they don't get drowned). Singing-wise, I would say that over-emphasizing the clarity of the consonant sounds will help in making sure the words can be understood. I'm sorry this turned into such a technical analysis of the vocals when really I only had a minor criticism ^_^; Honestly I do think overall they were awesome. But since you mentioned you might work on it again, I figured I'd share my 2 cents in case it helps.

Agreed. I do feel that the fast "rapping" vocal parts are sort of drowned out by the instrumentation as I mentioned in my previous post. I don't think the so-called accent is a huge problem since you're belting out some of your vocals.

LulzA sounds like a little female punk Kirby.

Too good.

8 games in 1
8 artists in 1
coincidence?

this game was one of the greatest games of its time (to me) for that reason, and this song definitely follows suit. incredible job, y'all.

Woot! I've been waiting for this one for a long time. Simply one of the best ReMixes I've heard this year. Seriously, LuIzA has the best punk/ska voice and those lyrics are brilliant! Oh, damn, the SFX covering up the curse words for this version was a great touch. Really, this is one of the catchiest damn songs I've ever heard on OCR. Great job all members of the Plaid Muffins! Can't wait for the uncensored version.

Super fun track, with a great live feel, and good vocals with a fitting style.

I agree that the vocals get buried, and I can't really hear the lyrics except in a couple of places if I'm not listening hard. It sounds like a production issue to me too, especially the horns drown them out, but the vocals sound muffled when there's just drums+bass+guitars accompanying. The accent is not an issue.

Very nice touch using the game sfxs for beepign out cussing.
