Promising, but lacking stuff.

Great introduction with those powerful strings. Starting from 0:48, the track gets new colors, which are really nice.

There are a couple of things that you should fix besides the clipping though.

For starters, the lower piano keys around 0:58 don't go well with the upper keys. 1:12, however, fixes that. The lower keys are much better here.

However, the bass sounds offkey and messes up a great progression. After 1:37, I can tell that you're simply out of ideas and the melody just doesn't fit with the previous thing.

The track's got much potential if you work with what you have and get new ideas to extend this song.

Keep it up. Thanks for reviewing one of my tracks.

Amazing.

You know what sucks? Having a guitar that costs more than all yours combined, having twice your playing experience, and still sucking at playing haha. This is beautiful man. The distorted guitar introduction screams John Petrucci. All the elements incorporated here are incredible.

How's that vibrato wanking treating you? Great job on that outro.

Keep it up, good sir.

Kor-Rune responds:

Haha, thanks for the review!

Actually, the idea of the song was inspired by John Petrucci's casual lead 4/4 track called Lost Without You. I love listening to Sir JP play <3

The outro was yeah, just wankery with my whammy pedal, stompbox with too much distortion, and floyd rose, that shit can get fun as fuck.

Thanks again for the review yo! Glad to see a fellow guitarist!

Not bad,

The guitar sounds odd without the effects, but it's fine for the most part. The song's got the right amount of energy, specially when the drums kick in, that was quite nice. The instrumentation is too simple though, seems like you're playing it safe.

Y'know, the guy singing this has a good voice, but it comes off as nasal sometimes and there's a noticeable accent. When it's not nasal and there's no accent, it's pretty damn good.

Judging by the guy's name (yomismo = myself?), he probably speaks spanish. Try singing in spanish sometime if that's your native language.

Keep it up.

Three days?

For three days, this is pretty decent, good sir. The song itself isn't groundbreaking or inspiring, but you've got what it takes to get better.

Now, onto actual crit.

The bass is way too high. It's drowning out the melodies, should lower that. The drums seem overpowering too, but it was a nice detail, I was actually surprised to hear drums on this. I can tell that you like glitching, it's pretty decent. The melody is too repetitive and lacks the variation a 4-minute track needs though.

You actually remind me of a guy called Nubbinownz here. Keep practicing and you're gonna get great someday.

z-bentinel responds:

Hey thanks for the tips, I was wondering if you mean just lower the volume of the bass? or if there are any dial that I can tweak to make it more subtle, I've been playing around with the song and I've improved it slightly so far and Ive had a play with the bass, but I still need to get used to making it sound the right level.

and yeah the drums are too high I think, but thanks for the honesty, I'm probably going to add a few more synth and piano parts in for the variation (maybe some sort of breakdown) and re-upload it at a later date.

and thanks for the ending remark. Ill go check that guy out.

Pretty good.

Rather simple song but very pleasing to the ears. I can tell your picking technique is great just by hearing how those strings sound.

The only problem the song has is the recording quality, but that's a minor issue. If you could fix that, it'd be an amazing 4-minute ambient track.

I hear some percussion in there, might be your hand tapping the guitar. Whatever it is, it's subtle and I like it a lot.

Keep it up and thanks for the review.

Boux responds:

Hey thanks alot for the review, you're right on the quality its a built-in microphone it get better with big headphone on, I do tap the guitar but i never used a pick since i play guitar, its all fingers, i dont like picks i think they put limits on what you can play.
Since you like this one try my song ' A song of Melancholy ' i bet you'll like. and too i'll be looking foward to more of your stuff especially if they sound like that ' close to heaven' of yours.

Wow.

Fuck hoes, money, and gangsta shit; let's rap about how cold it is!

I love you.

RoobyKillAll responds:

Just rappin' about real problems. Really glad you liked it man, thanks.

Not bad.

I like the ambient aspect of the song, it's basically the best thing about it. Can't describe it but that subtle melody at the beginning sounds just about right.

The "trance" beat is alright. I don't like the low-quality instruments you used in this or the rest of your songs, but I guess it sort of works well with the ambient here. I'm kinda disappointed by the fact that it lacks a strong climax after the buildup. It looks like it's going somewhere strong after 1:30 but it slows down again at 1:35-36.

Still, very atmospheric and peaceful, keep it.

Thanks for reviewing one of my songs a week ago. That track was very dull and uninspired in comparison to the rest of my work :P

Have a nice day.

So...

I got a PM from some random person telling me to check out this song. While I'd normally respond by telling the person to shove the song up his ass, I'm feeling nice today. Then I realized that it was rap and that feeling came back again. But I tried being unbiased. Then I realized it's about FF7. I hate that game and most rap.

But then I realized that this is pretty damn good. And that I'm hyper. And then I voted 5.

And then I laughed at War-Spawn :D

Bitchin', sir. Love it.

Lejin responds:

PROS UP!!! noobs DOWN!!

Amazing.

Hobo music is beautiful, no offense intended of course. This thing is wonderful, nubbin. Good luck with your problem.

Well

I like the drums and that lead synth you used is quite simply one of the sexiest synths I've ever heard in my whole life. If you made that, congrats. Great melody too.

Nice DnB track, I like the vocal samples you used and the blast beats. Not a fan of the pad, that could have been better.

Keep it up.

Sonicist responds:

I will spend some time mucking about with some pads, cheers mate.
