So often I get slagged of by both artists and reviewers for being too ´Harsh´They should understand that you can have a well written and produced song which does not say anything new and as such has limited merit except of course with your Mum and Dad and family and friends.As far as the importance of hit potential in a song and does it matter? -What in hell kind of yardstick would you use to judge Fame Games otherwise!".

16-Aug-08: Sorry but this is truly awful.The lyrics are banal and the melody uncertain to say the least.Funnily enough I think there is a great song in there somewhere but tis is not it.

19-Aug-08: Nice playing guys, but this thin mix kills it. The vocal should at one point stop relying no the effect and actually sing. Mark3Criteria: "It must not be boring and it must have soul".

16-Aug-08: THIS IS NOT GOING TO XOVER.maybe I have got the values of this contest wrong but this will never have mainstream appeal and the ban d know this so why enter the track on the show? Airplay -sure -but I think we need to revisit the criteria here. SFXCriteria: "MELODY - meaningful lyrics and that indefinable edge that doesn´t sound quite right but at the same time sounds absolutely perfect!

16-Jul-08: i love that its tight and well played - i can hear the vocal enough but in a way thats a blessing cuz its not a vocal but growling which is pretty normal for this genre - i would mix this up with a real vocal now and then if you are looking for crossover - otherwise you probably already rule the thrash market ESPCriteria: "must have a meaning - must be appealing in every way possible". What makes a hit: "a hit should mean that it is a very good song and everyone likes it -but all too often it means that someone has simply promoted it very well". Favourite Genre:-.

19-Aug-08: Cool vibe! Very old school but I love that kind of groove. Tight playing and the song is borderline-great. But it takes a bit long to evolve. And the chorus just ain´t there....! Not strong enough Mark3Criteria: "It must not be boring and it must have soul". What makes a hit:-. Favourite Genre:-. Favorite artists: Too many to list. But I like a bit of everything as long as it has heart!. Hero: Any artist with true soul. * Feedback
16-Aug-08: Look I love this band -but there is absolutely nothing going on here I have not heard a thousand times before.Your good- find an original song.

16-Aug-08: A good album/gig closer here, I think. I like the sound of this band, there is an energy about them, and the material that I´ve heard so far is really good. The production is slightly messy - a little bit more time would benefit them, although it´s important not to lose this live feel that they have. Sounds more American than Northern Irish to me - largely because of the accent the guy sings in. I´d watch that. Good stuff though. KenMorrisonCriteria: "Any magic spark. It can be originality or familiarity - or a combination between the two, perhaps? Either way, I like to be able to hear that real effort has been put into it. I like to hear that an artist has absolutely done the best he or she can do with his or her labour of love. I hate to hear laziness. ´´That´ll do´´ just won´t do!". What makes a hit: "What makes a hit? Dropping the ´´S´´ off the front of the word as often as not! Other than that, lots of sales, usually.". Favourite Genre: Rock. Powerpop. Pop. Absolutely anything though. If it`s great, it`s great. Genres are just pigeon-holes really, which can create dangerous limitations.. Favorite artists: ...too many to mention really.... Hero: George Best , Larry David and Captain James T Kirk.. Instruments: vocals, guitar, bass, and stuff. Past Credits: Been in bands since 1982! Thousands of gigs. Hundreds of songs. Dozens of bands. A couple of life lessons.. Accomplishments: Hopefully, they haven´t happened yet!. Songs: about 600 probably. Only about 3 good ones though.. * Feedback
30-Jul-08: This song kicks it from the beginning, really great. The vocals nearly perfect, the guitars are fantastic. The classic rock song and the finally with the rock and roll chant is just sweat. I am becoming a big fan of the daze project. Great work. sidsoundsCriteria: "the tune is the most important that it has melody and timing, the lyrics and the way they are driven to the listener and over all feeling". What makes a hit: "I think a hit is hard to define i have heard some great songs but never marketed and therefore never in the meanstream charts. It must come down to personal taste and the more people buy it the better". Favourite Genre: I listen to all music, pop, rock, country etc that list could go on forever.. Favorite artists: U2, Robbie Williams, Bonnie raite, grath brookes, Willie Nelson, Led Zepplin, Pearl jam, Billie Holiday, P diddy, Britney Spears and the list goes on. Hero: Bono. * Feedback
28-Jul-08: This is quite a cool song... I like the vibe this is giving out... I like what I heard alot... to be honest this was not what I was expecting for some reason!! KeeperCriteria: "If a song a song makes me smile, and I think it is good then thats it! update". What makes a hit: "Obviously nowadays hit potential is not important as most songs in the charts nowadays dont deserve to be there. Some indie music out there is so much better than the current ´´hits´´!!". Favourite Genre: Anything at all, I have come to like all genres. Favorite artists: There are too many now!.
