[Catch The Deerz!!]

Nice

Very cool. It made me think of Rush's old stuff. I know different genre but it has that same feel of like YYZ or one of their other off timed/odd tempo songs.

If you actually performed it yourself (no samples/loops) I'm very impressed.

Fautzo responds:

Wow, thanks!! I'm very very surprised! All i did was play a note a bunch of times, and then mix up the notes into random places, then copies and pasted it into the drums!! I only spent a half an hour on this, and it took almost no effort! Thank you for the kind reveiw!

Thanks man!

[*-_Alone at night_-*]

**Sniffle**

A lot of emotion in this one. It actually made me tear up a little - or maybe it was my allergies :P

I can toally hear a vocal melody to this in my head and bass line. I think you should expend on it.

It's a great melody.

DarKsidE555 responds:

Yeah, I'm actually thinking about it. Though, I gotta work on some other stuff first. :/

Thanks for the review man! :D

[Rise Your Sword]

Nice

I liked it. Very(and I hate using this term) "Epic" sounding. I'm jealous ;)

Very impressive and well balanced sound-wise.

Now, if you'll excuse me I have a sudden urge to cast magic missile.

[Initialize! (DarkbrksNsynth)]

six

Overall 6

There were some interesting parts but it was overshadowed by the annoying drum track. I hate having to say this, but the drum track, tempo is waaaaaay overdone for Techno. No one said techno had to be done at 180+ bps.

I can see you put some work into it so I can't blast it.

XJMatt responds:

aye i gotta admit i went a bit over the top with this one just a little :P. thanks for listening and the honest review i apreciate constructive comments :)

[NN - Rush]

s'ok

It was ok. I didn't hate it and didn't love it.

Basically neutral about it.

You did a good job with the mixing.

CRITIC!

[Effortless (vox samples)]

9 Great job

I liked it. Reminds me of Fear Factory or Strapping Young Lad.

The machine guns maybe could have a bit quieter.

Great job.

soulmasking responds:

As a huge fan of FF, and heavily influenced by them, I would understand how you got that impression. The song was the first that I used the fast paced drumming. It was also the first song that I really tried to place in "flare" and sound effects, there's lots of stuff that I think could be improved with it, but I also hate messing with a "closed" song. I'm glad you liked it, and thank you very much for your review.

[Cyberpunk Death March]

not sure

Not sure what to think of this.
Initially, I liked where you were going and would have been ok with the intro being so long if not feeling a bit let down at the "build up".

Other than that, I liked that you were shooting for something different. I would suggest putting a bass track next time and maybe some melody in the back when you get towards the end of the "build up".

But that is just my opinion.

Overall 8

soulmasking responds:

Hey that's what a reviews for, to let me know what you think. I agree the song does feel a bit "different". For the song itself, I'm not sure I'd agree with a bass track, as I like static, and silence in my songs, but, I will keep it in mind. I do, however, understand what you mean by adding in a background melody for the "build-up". I will keep all your recommendations in mind, for future projects. Thanks for your review, and glad you took the time to let me know your opinion.

[When Your Gone *PREVIEW*]

interesting

The melody was interesting. The voice saying the same thing over and over got annoying.
Personally, I think the deep voice effect is played out. If you're going to keep the voice, maybe do it up one time in the beginning and then ditch it.

Other than that, lucky seven.

Bleek989 responds:

thx man naw the voice is so ppl dont steal it off here and show there firends and be lyke ay this is mine, and sell it and get money..:) i dont post alot on here anymore really, im startin to stop cuz im makin money off muzik now...(nuthin huge lol) so cant have all my shit on here for free and then be sellin it too...ya kno

[Save the Earth]

Vocals

Personally, I'm into hip hop for the mind, so I have to give you props on the principle that you put up a positive message.
As far as the loop/beat, I wasn't feeling it... felt like I should have been at wedding or something but that's OK - someone else might think it's great.
The vocals need to be recorded better. It sounded like you were wettin' the mic(too close)and you might want to put just a tiny-tiny amount of reverb or something.

Broken-Needle responds:

aight man thanks for the advice, da beat was hard to make cuz i asked sorta too specificaly, but I improvised by making it feel like I'm teaching a class, da mic ye I prolly did put it a little too close next time I'll keep it far away, anyway man thanks for da constructive review, 5, i think dl and thanks for not hating,
Save the bees,
Keep it pimpin'
