Hello?
beep bop beep
Oh, hi, you must be from Go Robot Go.
beep
Say, I've been meaning to talk to you guys for awhile. I picked up your album back in December.
blip blop
Well, the thing is, it was a week or so after I had seen you live, and I was all excited about getting it. Your live show was good, and I figured that would show up on the album.
dong
Yeah, what happened to you guys in the studio anyway?
meep mop
But you guys are robots! How could the digital encoding of the album have messed with your sound? I mean, it's like the recording removed all the emotion that you guys put out on stage.
mumble mirp gong
Without it, you guys sound like, well, robots.
beep blip bap
I know, I know. But no one really wants to hear robots that sound like robots. They want robots to be better than people--you know, more human.
bleep blop bloop burp
Exactly! When you guys are up on stage, you certainly know how to deliver a performance, but on the album, you hit like a little girl. There's no emotional weight behind your songs.
blip blip blap
No, I'm not saying it's bad, I'm just saying I know how much better it could be. The standout song on the album is "See You on the Radio", but even its vocals are depth-less. You need to work on capturing your live sound on these records, then people will know what a good band you are.
blip blap
Nah, don't feel bad. Even us humans have our off days.
