Review of Going Back to College


Martin's sweet narrative was extremely well put together. His voice was clear and enjoyable, with brilliantly crisp sound bytes and the absence of distracting background noise. Martin articulates his point well- and in an interesting way, framing his message around the idea of "going back to college." However, I find Martin's tone to be degrading towards his mother at several points throughout the piece- and as a listener would like a little more clarification about his relationship with his mom. Despite this, though, the piece flows quite well, the opening and closing song puts a nice cap and tail on Martin's amusing and unusual narrative.
