Crowded

The overall sound was quite nice, but I didn't like how you just kept on bringing in instruments, it isn't very original, and it ended up really cluttered. The beat at the start was quite good, but it took a while before a proper melody was established, it was just sorta percussion for most of it.

The ending was pretty dull as well. I think you should have put more time into it, but it just looked like you gave up then.

Yeah I should of always like reviews like this helps me better my skills.

Loved it!

The actual 8-bit tune was really nice, but it was the lyrics that made this song. Not only was it funny because its not an issue in songs, but many of the actual lines where pretty funny, and you managed to get a lot of it to rhyme, which, when you are talking about diabetes and loads of other things which were heard to rhyme with, is no mean feat.

Sometimes the lyrics were slightly overpowered by the music, and often it was a tiny bit fast, which is kinda annoying considering it was so funny..

The ending seemed a tiny bit rushed, but it didn't ruin it.

Very generic, but still exciting

Many songs that try to be normal and fit in usually mess up and end up sounding crowded or repetitive, but this one manages to succeed in being normal and generic. You've managed to keep it fresh throughout the song, so it never gets boring or anything. I like how the bassline keeps everything together as well, soo it never feels like you've gone into a completely different song.

Many songs in this genre are reallly heavy and hurt my ears, but this stays calm and laidback, so I quite like it.

Surprisingly, I really enjoyed this.

Sweet man! Love these reviews!

Very flash-like

This is really nice, considering what it is trying to be. I can easily see it being used in a flash, set in the East. Picture it: The opening shot, this music plays. A man is sitting there, back to the camera. A voice over comes in:

"It's been a long time. I've tried to fight my destiny, but I can withstand it no longer. It is time to accept that I am...(By this point we are at 1:23)...The Dragon Samurai!"

Yeah, well, that's what I picture. Anyway, it's a really nice song, and you've got that laidback feel you were going for, and despite the fact that it is 7 minutes long, it never feels repetitive or boring, you've managed to constantly keep it fresh and exciting, which isn't easy.

The only reason that I'm not giving a full 10 is that 7 minutes is very long, and even though its not boring, you could have achieved the same thing in 3 minutes, which would make it easier to listen to it all..

Why Billy Mays?

It's funny that you named it Billy Mays, because there's a certain Michael Jackson quality to it actually..

It was good at the start, with the nice beat, but the melody was a bit weird and repetitive, and then when you suddenly went into the guitar it felt like you had switched song completely.

Sudddenly cutting it off at the end didn't work. Try to find interesting ways of ending your songs.

Overall, it was adequate, but repetitive and boring at times.

Sawdust responds:

Haha. Funny you saw that Billie Jean type drumming.

Thanks.

Bad quality recording.

The sound quality was fairly bad. I know it sounds rediculous, but have you tried putting a sock over your microphone? It really works..

The actual voices sounded similar a lot of the time, and there wasn't time to tell which of the voices were good.

It wasn't very funny, but I'm not sure if it was trying to be. You could tried to add more variety, saying things like "You've got mail, he's got mail, you've got mail?". Just something to spice it up a bit.

Hmm, never thought of doing that before, don't know why though. =/

Ahh, you could let run through a few times, I know it's all bad but I'm trying to find ways to improve.

Ahh, another nice suggestion. =]

First half was better..

It was pretty short, so there's not much to judge at all. I liked the first 5 seconds; it felt very spy-like, but then it completely changed, and didn't really feel right.

I like the drums, even though they were so sparce, it kinda worked.

As I said, it's so short, there's not much else I can say about it..

Thank ya much for the review :)

Relaxing

It was nice. It didn't feel too heavy and "EeeughIWantToEatYourEars" like many trance songs do, but it felt sort of relaxing and psychadelic. I liked what it did at 2:03 the most, until you brought in that cymbal or whatever it was at 2:17.

The end was pretty bad. I thought you could have done something more than just a cymbal crash to end.

LightKeeper responds:

The cymbal at the end was a ride. :) It was combination of playing off the bell loudly and tapping on the edge of the cymbal. :)

That's not going to be the actual ending. Like the title of the song suggest, this is just a demo. :) Thanks for the review.

Simple but effective.

As almost everyone has said before me, it's very repetitive, but I think the simplicity gives it a nice edge, and I could easily see it being used in a game, because, even though it is a loop, it doesn't get boring.

The ending seemed like a bit of a letdown. You just ended it without any thought. In my opinion, a whole song should build up to the end, and this didn't at all..

Quite good

This really isn't my style, but I appreciate that you've done it well.

There's a nice beat, and the instruments, if you call them that, fit together really well.

The only thing I'll say is that at the start all the instruments come in one by one. You should try to be more original with your start.

The end was a bit of a letdown too. Fading out is done too often, and it sounds boring.

Well if you don't like music that adds one layer at a time, then do NOT listen to Zdarlight by Digitalism (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ePfI kGqHCQ). It actually an awesome song, but that songs adds one layer at a time.
