General Comments:
Ok, on #1 and #5 I really should have done better by chance alone.  :-P

I use the term flanging to mean a swirly hollow sound (the "waah-waah" effect), but I might be using the wrong term.

2L Comment: Same warbly effect on "I've been" as #6, but very subtle.  Couldn't really pick out artifacts anywhere else.

3L File: Sample12\Waiting_anch.wav
3L Rating: 2.0
3L Comment: Warblyness in lots of places and some swirlyness around "waiting a long time", and to a lesser degree around all the lyrics.  Sorta a hissy flanging type effect.

4R File: Sample12\Waiting_mp4.wav
4R Rating: 4.0
4R Comment: Between #2 and #3.  Warblyness quite noticeable, but less pronounced than #3.  Flanging much less noticeable - pretty much only on "I've been".

6L Rating: 1.5
6L Comment: Blade?  There's a weird tremelo (I think that's the word) in his voice when he says "I've been" at the beginning.  Sounds a bit like he's gargling.  It's worse where he's singing "all".  Also, some flanging.
