Excellent job, Rebecca. Very bold to go for acapella, but it works pretty good.
You really shut up the critics now, I reckon. No repetitive lyrics whatsoever and a nice take at Worms 2: Armageddon. Keep it up!
By the way: I hate worms.

This screams for some hardcore mod interference.Jericho_222 said:
Ooh. I like it more than the Sims 3 one. Very good job!
I have no idea how many hours I wasted with my Worms Battle Pack on PC.
And if we're going even further back, I think I have an original on GameBoy somewhere, with teams named after Aliens characters.

Then don't listen, and don't complain. No one is forcing you to watch, expecting you to enjoy everything you see. Maybe you could pick up a microphone and a guitar, and make something you DO like. Impose your standards on yourself before others, then share with the world and prepare for people like you.Abedeus said:
Heh, I think this is the best one yet, which I reckon is a good sign 'cos I thought they were all lovely so far.
It's a bit of a shame that this feature tends to get slightly buried, what with Apocalypse Lane and Extra Punctuation coming out at the same time.

Then pick up a music program, and contribute something constructive. The creative component of music is the same, regardless of method.Abedeus said:
You certainly are welcome to your opinions, and you are even welcome to say them here as anywhere on the internet where anonymity loosens the reigns of opinion.
However, you should back up your stated opinion with solid reasoning, and if you would like to share your criticism it is always preferred that you do so in a constructive way. We aren't YouTube, so don't act like it here.
A little better. Less repetitive and no cacophony of every instrument playing at once. Sure, there were multiple songs singing at once, but that's kinda what acapella is about, so I really can't complain. It seemed fit musically this time too. Still can't understand what the devil you're saying, maybe make the music in the background quieter than the vocals singing the lyrics?
Concerning lyrics, the story kinda seemed all over the place. Didn't really understand what you were trying to say till my second play through. The worm catchphrases were probably what was confusing me. Then again, there really isn't any 'rule' about having to make lyrical sense.
Concerning the video, I just didn't get it. It was like watching some sorta french art film. The orange clothing was supposed to be a costume? Why show a mii or xbox avatar doing a victory dance when you could just zoom in on the worms doin them? Wait a sec, those aren't worms they're caterpillars! Well, whatever works for the song I guess...

I wasn't too impressed by this video as I was by previous videos. The lyrics had almost nothing to do with the feel of the game. Perhaps this is because this is the first game that Rebecca has sung about that I have actually played. To me worms has always been about silly fun and extravagant plans that fail miserably. I just didn't get that vibe from the video. I know not everyone's play experience is the same but I never felt worms was about "satisfying honor" in the 18th century duelist sense of the term.
I can't say how to make a better song since music is not really my strong point. However I enjoyed the Sims video because messing with some poor slob?s life was consistent with the game. Same with the Wolverine anger issue theme. This video just seems like a copout.

You still act like you believe I should do anything to post my OPINIONS.CaptainCrunch said:
OPINIONS. Don't you understand that? An opinion isn't something you can or should discuss. You can't be constructive about whether you like an apple or an orange.
"Why don't you like apples?"
"Well... they don't taste good."
"LOL! You should try to plant an apple tree, growing one and THEN say it doesn't taste good!!"
Also, this means none of us can criticize anything, basically. I can't criticize politicians, because I'm not a law student. I can't criticize movies, because I'm not a script writer. I can't criticize music, because I'm not a... well, okay, I know how to play the guitar a little, but in this case, I can't even say I don't LIKE the music.
Okay, want reasoning?
a) lyrics are bland and forgetable. I still don't know whether this is supposed to be entertaining, funny or informative.
b) I can't hear them half the time because it seems like the music is the main thing, you hear about 75% of the music and 25% of the lyrics. That's really bad. It should be at least even, if not 75% lyrics and 25% music.
c) also, there is something I can't quite put my finger on that makes me want to alt+f4 the video half-way through. I guess she just has an annoying voice.
There you go, happy?
I won't cover the musical aspect since I think Rannos22 said what I was thinking.
I do want to comment about the video (and your style in general). It seems like you're trying to combine gaming and vaguely sexual playfulness. In theory that sounds like a great gimmick to be popular with the typical gamer demographic. But for some reason it just isn't clicking for me. I can't put my finger on what my problem is with your videos. Maybe it'll just take some practice or maybe it's an acquired taste. The only concrete thing I can say that bothers me is the frequent staring into the camera. But besides that, it just doesn't feel very .... polished I guess is the word.
But, you do seem to be improving a little each time. So keep it up.

I really like how creative you are with these songs and I like the craziness of the videos. I think you're a wonderful song writer and this one in particular was a very creative feat with the multiple voices singing acapella instead of drum beats.
The only thing I don't like about your songs is when I hear garageband loops being heard because I could literally make a song out of the same loops and so can twenty other people. I once had a stop-motion class and each of the videos had to have some form of music or sound, so the students knowing nothing really about music just slapped together a bunch of songs in garageband using loops. They all sounded exactly the same because they used the same generic loops instead of making something original!
All I'm saying is I think you're more creative than garageband.

Oh and I also love how you're mixing gaming, a purely digital art from with song and music, an analog art form. Very cool concept.
