They're really good. I think it's just the proximity, but their syllables sound awkwardly enunciated. Jo-a-na-na jo-a-na-na. I'm sure from a bigger distance it'd sound a bit softer.
@hatorigirl1202 Quite often singers, at least choirs, will seem to over enunciate consonants so that the sound will travel while still producing clear words.
In the case of jo-na-na-na, since "j" and "n" are semi-hard consonants and several people need to clearly hit those consonants at the same time, they might be over-emphasizing simply to remain together and maintain a steady tempo.
@johnnyclarik1 Yes, I understand. I am a choir girl. And I was a percussionist. I get it. I just meant that in this distance it is a bit overwhelming. I don't have an issue with it. Just as I said in my original post.
Everyone's a critic - The stuff you guys do is fantastic and the performances you give around the dorms are when you are at your best. Where can we buy CD's etc?
thats fine about the drum part...I mean I only wrote the song for the group; and then wasn't allowed to sing on it...so i perked my guts out just to annoy all of you. Also listen to it now please rather than the first time it was performed over a year ago when it wasn't as polished.-drumgguy - President of the group
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
the lead singer has an amazing voice!
anyway..the rest, especially the drum-imitator, kinda pisses me off..when there is the calm bridge part "they say the devil's.." please just shut up. you destroy the whole part.(@ drumguy)
@the rest: take the backings easier..less is more.
what are you pissed about??? really, the drum guy is just playing out a vocal arrangement. yea maybe he is a dork...but you could have just said that instead of insulting his decent effort!!!!
I remember seeing them during Welcome week I believe it was last year? And they were fabulous! I wish I had half the talent any single one of them has!
i kinda want to transfer to msu just for these guys

Good drum part, just a bit too present, at the beginning especially. Knew what he was doing, it just comes out too much.
