[A Failure Repeated *AeX*]

Sad

Well this is a great piano piece I think since the piano illustrates so any different stories to choose from I think. The tune sounds somewhat sad as well which makes the story it depicts feel sad as well I think. Very beautiful composition though.

I can see someone struggling to make it through their own life as they wonder why people hate them. They walk to the park and sit high up in a tree away from everyone staring at the sun set through the leaves trying to figure out how all of this happened to them.

They begin to go back in time seeing how over time that his friends begin talking to him less and less and they never tell him why but after awhile he begins hanging with a few other people but rarely speaking anymore. He has so much anger built up inside and yet he feels it just sitting there trapped inside of him as he moves along with his life not caring any more of what others think about him either.

It soon shows him back at the tree as he sees the friends he once knew and talked to passing by him but they act like he isn't there even when he waves. He soon comes down and begins to walk off past them deciding they are no longer worth time and that he should look for better friends who won't simply abandon him by himself for no reason at all.

He walks out of the park and into the local town and simply walks around stores looking at many things. Some reminding him of friends, happier times, or just times he was simply happy by himself and walks past them just not feeling the joy of it all any more wondering how it came to this.

He walks out of the town and keeps walking for what feels like hours but is really only a few minutes as a passes into another part of town and sits on a bench outside of a boutique. He looks inside seeing things he would never wear there and walks inside.

He sees dresses, girlish pants and tops and just for a moment, a split second he wonders what the stuff would be like to wear and pulls out his wallet buying some of the clothing thee before walking to his home where only he lives with a few cats to keep him company.

He tries the stuff on and it feels strangely good making him feel happy and then puts the stuff away forgetting about as he goes to watch tv while the cats sit by him. He stares at the ceiling however still wondering, why do his friends no longer like him.

He turns on the tv and soon he puts it all out of his mind.

Overall, great song.

AetherX responds:

Wow, I'm happy that I can inspire such a story. Thanks for taking the time to write something so long.

[[The Final Boss]]

Battle time

Heh, sounds like it would go well in a space type side scroller where you battle the final boss at this point. The tune is very well composed and sounds pretty much revved up and just being fired like a cannon of sorts as you race against time trying to beat the boss as quickly as possible.

The synth sounds really rapid and I like how when goes down it feels like another one picking up for it which is pretty neat to hear on this one. The starting air sound was nice too. The drums give a feeling of having to rush against time to complete the level as well. I like the aqua effect applied here as well.

Overall, not bad at all, does give a good feeling that you need to beat a boss.

Xyresic responds:

Thanks for the review! Not sure what you mean by "aqua" effect though :P

[Digimon Gaia Theme (Karao]

Great time

Reminds me of how much I used to love watching the show as well so great job on doing this piece I think. If this is for a project I hope it ends up being something fun that people can enjoy as well too. The theme just seems to get you happy and looking forward to playing the game as well.

The guitar sounds calm and pretty smooth on this one I think. The synth is really happy feeling and nice to hear on the ears too. The bass is very nice and provides a good groove for the song. The drums sound hard hitting and very happy as well.

Overall, very nice song and I like how it goes too, very nice work on this one, hope your future pieces go well too.

[Malfunction]

Glitched

Heh, reminds me of when my Pokemon Blue used to glitch and it would sound a bit like this since it was all glitchy suddenly. This seems to be a real interesting piece though since it sounds like it is just jumping all over the place with so many different things running through your head as the song plays as well. Just real interesting. Glitchcore maybe?

The synth is very nice on the ears and gives a feeling of something calm coming even though there is a lot of chaos surrounding the peaceful time coming ahead strangely. The synth just just seems to give a feeling of it all coming to be alright in the end.

The drums are really interesting here due to the very glitchy effect they seem to have here and all. Makes you think of a boss level in a video game I think where the song starts normal and breaks out into being very glitchy sounding as they battle keeps on going forward. Really love the glitchy drums.

The piano is another thing that helps you feel calm as the song runs along later in here as well I think. It gives a feeling of even though this is a hard battle, you can still overcome it. Also I think I hear a leitmotif going on here.

The vocals were nice but what were they saying before you broke them into glitch format?

Overall, very interesting and yet amazingly glitchy sounding song.

LLAAPPSSEE responds:

Great review, man! Thanks a shit-ton for your excellence.

The vox are saying "Keep on", "Don't stop", and I believe "riot".

[Oriental Metamorphose*PREVIEW*]

Calm drums

I like the ambiance of this track I a lot I think. It just sounds a lot like and reminds me of Legend of Zelda and Yoshi's Island for some strange reason or another here. The tune seems to stay calm but give a feel of being on the move a lot as the level keeps on going. This just happens to be a very interesting piece of work I think.

The ambient backing desert like track gives a feel of running through sands looking for something more that maybe you had missed earlier. The drums have a real tribal feel to them and just seem to give a calm feel while making me think of Yoshi for some reason as well. the sitar at the end just gives even more of a desert feel which is pretty cool I think.

Overall, very interesting track, very interesting.

[*- Happy Birthday to You -*]

Hilarious :D

Well this was quite humorous and fun to hear I think. It starts out so beautiful then ends chaotically with people screaming and what sounds like someone having an orgasm over all of this which makes it even funnier to hear.

The piano here is great. The drums and chaos at the end make this a timeless classical piece. Now available for everyone's birthday party. Be careful not to yell too loud. :D

Overall, hilarious and silly.

Jebbal responds:

It starts out beautiful? Hahahaha I never thought anybody would say that, but alright! You're right, though. What I've created here is a timeless classic. An icon in modern birthday-ism. That guy screaming at the end? He was actually impaled by a flying timpani mallet. The first guy that screamed was just horrified by the general catastrophe of this song, though.

Thanks for the review!

[The Undertaker Theme Song]

Great cover

Also it reminds me of why I enjoy watching the WWE to an extent. It is no longer as it once was but when The Undertaker comes in there you feel the good times rushing back to you as if the WWE had never changed over time to a kiddy show as it is now. Excellent cover, the last outlaw will always have the streak.

The organ here is simply devastating as it goes on. It gives a feel of impending doom as if knowing you will never win against him as the battle wages on and the crowd keeps cheering your name then his name and back and forth wondering who will win.

The guitar gives a feel that the battle is soon over before it begins with him simply looking down or up at you with his signature eye rolling as well. The drums come kicking in full of life and giving a feel of knowing there will always be only one winner and everyone knows it is because he will never let the streak be ended.

Overall, wonderful cover. Reminds me of how much more fun and bloody the show was when I was younger, great times. The show is still good though, it has it's moments. :D

[Tread Lightly, as This May Be]

Seems pretty good

The start feels like a jukebox melody slowly crawling to the dance floor and then there is a sudden change up to a dance beat which kind of feels a bit weird to me I think as I would usually think of hearing a transitional swap to the next piece that would play in the song actually. The tune still seems to sound good for the most part though.

The starting piano is really nice on the ears I think.

Then it swaps to dancing. The synth sounds really hyped up here and quite rapid feeling when paired with the drums and bass line making you feel a bit jumpy yet incredibly happy as well. Nice to see you bring back the piano at 2:06 for a bit though as it gives a happier feel to it I think while adding back in that jukebox feel to it.

The tune also kind of feels like some strange boss song as well.

Starting from 2:43 it swaps back to what I hear at the start then back to the main beat again. Kind of feels a bit repetitive towards the end as Back-From-Purgatory said though. However for most of the song though it still sounded really sweet though.

Overall, very well done beat, the beat towards the end kind of feels bland though. Also like how it ends on the jukebox like feeling piano and begins to loop perfectly all over again, it's almost as if the song never has to end. Cool!

[Hammock Song]

Pretty relaxing

I have no idea why but this sounds like something I would hear on a weather channel strangely. On the other hand I can see someone relaxing on a hammock staring off as the sun goes down with sunglasses on just enjoying the day as it passes by slowly with almost nothing ever changing for them while they relax every day enjoying what they have earned for thyself.

The guitar sounds really chilled out and very relaxing as well. It kind of feels like it was a real one being played too actually. the guitar thumps only reinforce this idea as well actually which actually is not all that bad. Can kind of imagine the guy relaxing by the beach too. The bass guitar is light, fluffy, and gives a feel of real relaxation while watching a sun fall behind the ocean once more.

Overall, very relaxed and chilling song. Very nice and yet such a soft song too.
