[Coming Home (Daisy Chain)]

Needs vocals.

There isn't too much to say here, as its a pretty good song. However, there isn't really anything that makes it very interesting. It kinda drags on, and would be majorly improved with vocals. At about 1:00, it got pretty messy, but got better soon afterwards.

The drum beat could be a bit more interesting, and you could increase the volume of the guitar to make it more recognisable. After all, you say you're centred on guitar riffs..

The outro was nice, and provided a fitting end to it.

Cornilious responds:

Yes, definitely vocals.

Drums will be altered if I ever start this from scratch at a later date.
Which guitar, the rhythm guitar or melody/solo guitar?

[Jumpstyle (Beat 1)]

Generic

If there's one music genre I hate more than any other it's techno, but I'll still try and review with an open mind..

The intro was pretty generic, and it sounded just like any other techno song. Like Fro said, it was best at about 0:50, but even then, it got all clogged up and sounded messy. Pretty much the whole song sounded the exact same, with nothing really breaking the monotony.

The ending was seemed fairly decent, but you could still have done something a bit more original with it.

Maybe I just don't get this genre. Either way, it wasn't my cup of tea.

JumpstylezBeatz responds:

well everyone has their own views toward different genre. and obviously you didnt like this one, which i can respect considering its different for everyone. Though the rating of 3 didnt help :( your entitled to your opinion. Thanks for the review :)

[London Brew (One chord Jazz)]

Relaxing..

I liked the overall sound of this song, it was very relaxing and calm. The lyrics, although completely nonsensical, fitted, and were kinda funny. The actual voice was kinda annoying, but nothing too bad. There's not really much else I can say, but you should try make it longer and add some interesting solo.

That static at the end it horrible. Why is it in there? It pretty much ruins the whole song..

HolyKonni responds:

Thanks for the review! The static appeared when I converted it from .aiff to mp3. Dunno why it appears.

[Summer Solace {durn}]

Repetitive.

I really liked the intro, I'm not sure what it was, but something about it really appealed to me. I guess I just like piano, or variations of it.

However, the rest of the song didn't quite live up too expectations. It was quite good, until you got through 2 minutes of it, and it all sounded the same. Try to add a bit more variation in. I didn't really like when you used the claps. They always sound boring and generic to me.

The ending wasn't too bad, but you could have cut it off at 4:00, instead of leaving 12 seconds of silence at the end.

durn responds:

repetitive? lol, just be thankful it's not prog house. :P lol, thanks for the review. :)

[Random 8 bit]

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.

[Word, yo. Funkay.]

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!

[Billy Mays ;_;]

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.

[You have mail!!!]

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.

NekoMika responds:

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. =]

[Bizarre Spy Theme]

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..

ForNoReason responds:

Thank ya much for the review :)

[This is NOT a Real Rave []

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.

[Review Request Club]

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.
