We explore all the different ways you can describe a synth…

[5.00]
Katherine St Asaph: Synthpop so emo that the album art is a visualizer of a teardrop, mourning expressed via corkscrew synth solo, fronted by a Turkish Dave Gahan, except more swooning. You expected me not to give this at least an [8]?

Alfred Soto: I haven’t heard synth sounds this flatulent since the “The Final Countdown” days.

John S. Quinn-Puerta: There’s no sense of dynamics, the synth pad is mixed too high (to the point of being cutting), the chord structure is completely repetitive (you can’t even change the order for the chorus?), and the delay on the guitar solo makes it incomprehensible. Additionally, the guitar solo sounds like something I would’ve improvised, and I am not good at guitar. Due to all of the aforementioned issues, I would like to return this Fisher-Price My First Alt. Pop Song Kit, as it did not provide the creative educational experience promised on the box. Yes, I’ll take store credit.

Thomas Inskeep: Pleasant, undistinguished Turkish pop-rock that I forgot after 5 minutes.

Juana Giaimo: As someone who is from a non-anglo country, I realize how context is important to understand why a song is relevant in its origin country while in another part of the world it isn’t. When I listen to “Seni Dert Etmeler” I have no idea why it could have 16 million views on youtube. It’s another indie track, a little bit sombre with those ghostly backing vocals, but with a straightforward beat to keep it from being too obscure. It never grows or has a culmination point and instead it just passes by through my life as if nothing. What am I missing?

Austin Nguyen: The synths sound like they’re beamed in from a UFO at maximum brightness, washing everything out in reverb and white light before the guitar comes in for its pensive and desolate “Hotel California” moment, but being stuck in glazed-eye neutral means there’s nothing to be tapered-off in a fade-out.
