Too repetitive.

Gotta say, I really enjoyed...

The beat was really strong and nice..I liked how all the instruments were perfectly audible, rather than the common mistake people often make of just letting the guitar drown everything else out.

Unfortunately, it gets repetitive very quickly. The melody just doesn't change enough throughout the song..

The ending is far too abrupt, but in a way, it kinda worked, as the song looped pretty seamlessly.

Thanks, much love.

Bit unorganised..

I didn't feel it was anything special, to be honest..

In most of it, especially the first half, it just sounded like you had a beat,and then just kinda put some random sounds at places..It didn't feel too organised.

Also, that intro/link in the middle didn't fit..It would have been more fitting in the middle, or not at all..It just divides the song a bit too much..

I don't like how it just completely cuts off at the end. Try to find more creative ways to end your songs.

It's a demo, hence the vocal sample in the middle and the abrupt ending.

It's chaotic DNB, so it might sound unorganized but it definately has a structure.

Thank you for your review all the same, though.

Not exciting enough..

As dance tracks go, this is pretty good.

The beat at the very start was really boring and generic, but the more complex beat introduced at 0:09 was much better.

Whilst there wasn't anything too bad after that, there just wasn't enough to keep me interested..Halfway through and it just wasn't doing anything special for me.

I didn't like how it just completely cut off at the end either, it didn't really seem fitting..Try to come up with proper endings..

Overall, it didn't do anything really wrong, it just didn't do enough right...

Great!

Well, it's not the sort of thing I would listen to normally, but considering what you're trying to achieve, it's absolutely perfect. You've captured that pirate thing perfectly, and I can definitely see it being used in a pirate game..

It was also perfectly timed, as Talk Like a Pirate Day is fast approaching, and it's an ideal tune for a flash related to that..

I'd love to be able to give criticism, but I cant. It was excellent.

Not bad..

Unfortunately, this isn't really my type of music, but I'll try to review fairly...

Before the voices, it was pretty good..It felt like the sort of thing that, if done badly, could be absolutely horrible. Luckily, it wasn't done badly, and it was listenable. The droplet effects were a nice touch..

As for the voices, I felt that the background music during it was a bit too loud, it would have been more effective if it had been done with little or no music in the background.

As for the rest, that's where my lack of knowledge and appreciation of the genre comes in...To be honest, it didn't sound any different to anything else of a similar genre. Nothing wrong with it, per se, just a bit generic.

Still, it didn't annoy me quite as much as some techno, so that's a good thing..

fair review

i wanted the music to be noticeable when the voice was speaking, but its understandable that one could say its too loud

"As for the rest, that's where my lack of knowledge and appreciation of the genre comes in...To be honest, it didn't sound any different to anything else of a similar genre. Nothing wrong with it, per se, just a bit generic."

Thats worded a bit strange in my opinion, but i think your saying that this isnt any different than any hardstyle track? hmmm....yeah ill agree with that, im still really new to composing it, and there are a ton of things i dont know how to do

best review so far

thanks for reviewing dude

Vocals need improving..

I have only one complaint, and that is the vocals. In a song like this, you need the vocals to impose themselves a bit more, as right now they just seem to fade away into obscurity.. I'm not quite sure if this because the TwilightNecrosis didn't do a good job or if the vocal track isn't loud enough..Either way, something isn't right...

Other than that, top marks. The instruments were all fantastic, especially the solos. There's nothing else I can say about them, great work.

Jeffaro responds:

Thanks for the review!

I'll start working on the vocal tracks later today.

Twilight did fine!

Cymbals were annoying..

I haven't heard the original, so I'm not sure how I well I'll be able to judge this.

You used the cymbals too much at the start, and they also sounded really generic, perhaps made on FruityLoops or something.

There was something wrong with the guitar in this one too..it seemed muffled or something..

I usually find your vocals the worst part about your songs, but this time, it was the best thing there...The dirty quality you've given it kinda messes it up a bit though..

The fade out at the end is a bit boring too..Maybe try and find a way to change that, even if it means changing the actual song..

Never went anywhere.

Whilst this song never did anything wrong, per se, I just don't feel it did enough right..

The melody was fine, but got drowned out by the bass a bit too much, which was far too repetitive.

I think the problem with this was that it was never going anywhere..We were never waiting for the next surprise or riff or whatever..It was all just a bit predictable...

I quite like how the end looped back to the start seamlessly though, I didn't realise I was listening to it again. Unfortunately, that's also a bad thing. Like movies and books, songs should have a beginning, a middle and an end, and I felt that this was lacking these.

Soundgasm responds:

I'm challenging the fundamentals of song writing.

Great Detail.

This was a great song. I loved the riffs, and just pretty much everything, really. What struck me was the attention to detail here. Tiny little things that made a big difference:

The angelic choir in the background was really interesting, as angels and metal aren't two hings you would usually think of combining, but it works excellently.

The slight lack of sound quality was pretty good too. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't that crisp...I dunno if it was intentional, but I thought it was a great addition. IT was kinda like the audio equivalent of a grunge texture in a flash.

I think that the quality of this just emphasizes how much the vocals in your other pieces need to be improved upon.

Not bad, for this genre.

I'm afraid that this sorta music isn't exactly my thing, but that does not mean that it can't be done well. This wasn't quite there, but not far off it.

To be honest, it often felt like it was switching between different songs, with no proper strand to hold them together..

It was also a bit too generic for my liking. Maybe it's just me, but many of the songs in this genre sound the exact same, and there was nothing original in this to separate it from the croud.
