OK, this one has some dynamics at last! Those choruses really kick in. And it's at an overall better volume level than your lovely Zamboni song, too. I enjoyed the retro drum machine sounds in the quiet verse but on the whole the song didn't really draw me in, the rhythm and melody of the chorus vocals in particular didn't really work for me.
I like the departure from your usual style. The tuneful vocal fits well in the song, especially in the “out of here tonight” parts. I liked the quiet sections more than the loud ones.
this was a fun song. I like like the intro a lot. The lyrics painted a cool picture. Is this also about Milgram? Or about an alien abduction? Dynamics: present.
I swear I don’t understand why people would Yoda the first line of a song. (unless it’s a Weird Al Star Wars parody) Just use your best Yoda voice, and read your first line. Don’t set the tone of your song that way. It’s more annoying when the song overall isn’t bad. Interesting story, and the vocals didn’t seem bored this time around. It held my interest all the way through, but annoyed I was.
interesting moody track from BYD, I’ve never heard them do something like this. I like the line “the sheets now hold a lake of sweat”. They kind of lose me in the chorus until the high note. It’s ok. Wouldn’t listen to outside the contest.
I was not ready for this intense chorus, as catchy as it is noisy. Those falsetto screams are worth a lot of bombasticness points, obv. The Ratatat-style guitarmonies in the second verse are very nice.
Inflatable Vegatables: I'd see this musical, too. Love the dynamic vocal delivery, especially the contrast between the sneering chorus and the introspection of the 3rd verse. I dig it.

Round Summary
Make a song with quiet and loud parts -- like every Pixies song you love. This can mean crescendos or decrescendos, sudden loud noises, whatever, just make good use of dynamics.
