[Mother: The Seven Needles]

Beautiful

However although I have never played Mother 3 I still found this to be a wonderful track of joy and happiness as well. I like the truly dynamic intro that seems to make you feel like some kind of hero out to save the world as well and I really love that a lot.

The trumpet and drums are nice. The violin and bell echo were very nice here. The dynamic drums are truly great at the start though so I liked them.

1:03 - You get a feel of overflowing memories coming back to you as you keep going forth on the quest looking for your little lost brother and disappeared in New Pork City strangely.

1:46 - The flute gives a feeling of piece while the drums and harp give a slight moment of piece to you as you keep on pushing yourself to a new day along with a new hope as well while wondering what the world has to offer now that Pokey has it in ruins and around his finger.

2:42 - You get more of a feeling of piece as a guitar joins in and the drums pick up a more dynamic feel to them giving that feel of sudden demise possibly coming to you. Also feels like the part where a boss battle would have been coming as the bass plays a few really quick parts here in a nice tone.

3:43 - Really liking the bass breakdown here as it sounds like a really cool solo to me and I would not mind learning it and then a sudden dramatic change to a boss battle feel as the trumpets, war drums, and all else gives a feeling of chaos and a slight party while Pokey tries to destroy with the Masked Man who you find later to be your brother that Pokey experimented on sadly.

4:50 - The dynamic boss continues on.

5:02 - Really like the light feel as the synth bell chimes give a feeling of hope wile the piano chords make you feel at ease while trying to save the world from Pokey and the Masked Man who seems to have powers only you and your brother were born with strangely.

6:00 - The second part of this truly uplifting boss battle continues.

6:19 - For a few minutes while the harp plays you feel right at ease yet real sad as if you were about to find out something really sad and terrible that had happened to you or a close friend. The synth chords give a really touching and sad moment as well which was pleasant on the ears here.

7:35 - Really enjoying the uplifting coffee break reference here while the sax synth plays a beat that makes you feel happy while it also has some incredibly fast moments as well which rocked a lot.

8:03 - Really cool boss battle feel here as the drums, trumpets, and synth all come together to help you get the idea that this is the final battle and the world's fate rest in the hand of you and your close friends who have come with you the full way as well. Also kind of reminds me of King Dedede battles slightly. Really like the fast synth build up here too.

9:43 - A truly dark feeling boss battle the the angelic chorus and dark sounding synth that sounds like it has a built in whammy bar plays giving a feel of fast paced battling against your brother who you wish to save.

10:45 - You have a sad feel as you had to kill your brother and help him to due in piece so he would no longer have to live in pain knowing what he was forced to mindlessly do without control. The piano and backing bass give a feel as you look to the sky that everything will be ok as time moves on as well.

11:39 - The drums give a symbol of hope as the beat marches on and the bass kick gives a more better feel of happiness knowing Pokey is forever stuck in that capsule unable to escape and harm or tell people what to do ever again happily. Looking to the skies it looks like tomorrow is the start of a new day for the world of Mother as you all walk out of the building.

Overall, very wonderful medley and I enjoyed and cherished every moment of it too. Really up and happy feeling beat that makes you feel good on the inside as well. Very nicely put together piece of work and I guess a medley this long would take several months. Glad to hear it and how well it went overall though. Never played the game but this makes me want to. Wonderful beat here really enjoyed it.

[KKS - 03]

Oh, ok

Well this sounds like the start to a creepypasta video game anyways which is cool I would guess. The description makes me think that anyways. The tune makes you think of a chaotic going level of a video game you love but the game does not feel right and something is just not right as it seems to hurt while you play the game.

The synth has a subtle guitar feel to it which is pretty nice I think and very well done too. The static sound is a very nice touch and makes you think that part of the game when you hear the static has the screen get a bit darker then go back to normal strangely. The bass is nice and calm and I really like how it sounds too. The drums are chaotic and good.

Overall, nice creepypasta feeling song and description.

[NCM - Stay Forever]

Pretty classy

Well it does have a very soft feel to it anyways so I like it too. The tune gives a feeling of two people standing under the stars on a roof enjoying the view of shooting stars flying by and wondering what tomorrow will be like as well. Very peaceful tune I think.

The guitar sounds real calm as each note resonates and causes the piano to join in and make the beat so much more lovely on the ears as well. The bass is very soft and calm too so I liked that a lot. The drums were cool and smooth.

Overall, not too bad, sounds nice.

Thanks mate!

[B7 - Firetongue]

Brutal

I like the brutal feel of this song that I seem to be hearing. So how long did you spend on this exactly because I really like it. The song seems like it would make an excellent boss battle piece as well while the boss tries to kill you for no good reason as well. The tune is very well done and I like it.

The guitar sounds really good here and I can hear some good screams that would go well here I think. The bass is good and stays behind the guitar in way of rhythm for the most part too. The drums sound really good and kind and the double bass was pretty awesome and the hi hat hits sound like they were hard hits too.

Overall, brutal yet awesome piece, perfect for a boss battle as well.

[Belmont's Pride]

Awesome boss

Well this sounds like it would make an excellent boss song with the lyrics added in as well. Who was doing the singing here anyways? The song just has a great feel and reminds me of Dracula from Castlevania a whole lot too. Very well done piece too.

The vocals and lyrics are very great here. The guitar sounds really fast and quite awesome as I like it a lot too. The bass is groovy and quite well done. The drums are very cool and the double bass beat is great too and makes me happy to hear. I liked the use of synth here too making the beat all that much better.

The screaming vocals were awesome and the chorus/guitar breakdown sounded really nice while the synth in the background gives a soft feel to the beat in a good way, nice.

Overall, awesome Castlevania tribute piece I think.

SaturnaliaMN responds:

Thank you for your well thought review and your overall overview. It is nice to see someone pick it apart and find what parts are your favorite. We try to give you as many options to find something you like and I am glad you have so many.

I do the singing and lyric writing, but everything is done within and for my(our) band Saturnalia.

[Sandopolis Zone (GaMetal)]

Worst level ever...

...mixed with the best cover ever would make the level more doable actually. Actually remember I ended up doing that stage at least fourteen to thirty times before I finally beat it mostly because by the time I got to Eggman I had little to no rings and almost no idea how to do the boss battle sadly.

The guitar here sounds really cool and I like the desert feeling it gives off as well. The bass is wonky and gives a good solid feel as you go forth trying to finish up the area. The drums are awesome and once again I really enjoyed the double bass drums too. The synth is great and I like how you give it a desert feel as well which was awesome.

Overall, awesome cover of one of the most difficult Sonic levels ever.

[Pumpkin Hill (Evil Carnival)]

Very nice

Nice reference to Sonic the Hedgehog here. While the gameplay up to Sonic Heroes is alright the only true thing I enjoyed about the game series was the soundtrack making the games standable to play at all. Very nice how this one gives a strange carnival of evil feel to it as well which is pretty nice.

The dark whistling and growling voice thing were nice to listen to and I enjoy how they help this song get lifted off of its feet. The synth gives a strange carnival feel as well which helps make it all the more creepier while the piano in the back helps move the beat forward. The secondary synth sounds jumpy though which is nice.

The bass here is bouncy and very nice to hear too. The drums are simple yet really good to hear too.

Overall, great Evil Carnival feeling song.

[Champion Battle (Pokemon RBY)]

\m/

Well this turned out to be quite a great cover of the champion battle I think. Just makes it a whole lot more dynamic and instead of the normal Pokemon for the battle the Pokemon used are far stronger and everything else. Really love the synth and guitar combo in use here as well.

The guitar sounds brilliant as it pretty much remains as a solo the whole time. The synth is cheery and gives a great dynamic feel too. The bass here gives a good groove as you hear it bouncing back and forth a whole lot too. The drums are really fast the double bass hits are great.

Really liked the synth breakdown too followed by the guitar, classy.

Overall, awesome metal cover of one of my few favorite Pokemon songs.

[[dB] I'm the Good Guy]

Cheery

The acoustic guitar here is very nice and when the finger slides it kind of makes me think of rain hitting on a window on one of those rainy days where it all seems sad but the beat seems to cheer you up though and seems very happy too. Nice to see it is in the top 5 for the week in the audio portal as well making it all the better.

The tune makes you think of a nice guy just trying to help others even if things turn out differently. The piano is a very nice addition and gives a solid happy feel to the song, kind of see the guy giving his best friends hugs even though they don't care about him as much any more either as time goes by.

Kind of heard a bit of an electronic sound in there as well like some kind of bass. Nice.

Overall, very happy song, kind of see lyrics with this though. Nice piece.

Decibel responds:

Yeah, Glad you like it :)

There are some electronic elements in it but no bass unfortunately, forgot to add that.

The guy below you said he's gonna add some lyrics |

[Gourmet Race Piano]

Well composed

Well this would make do for a fancy and classy boss battle song I think since it is a kirby song after all. The tune is just very nice on the ears and I like how fast it seems to play as well which makes it all the better. Cut off a couple of seconds towards the end and you would most likely have a perfect loop as well, nicely composed.

Overall, piano composition of a great song.
