[Force Your Way - FFVIII]

Great remix

I found this to be completely awesome actually. Like how you added a guitar to the mix actually which makes it a pretty cool remix as well. The keyboard sounds the same and good. Almost always hated the Minotaur brothers and Diablos since they both took me ages to finally beat and get on my team and I always gave them both to Rinoa along with Carbuncle.

The guitar sounds sweetly done here and I really enjoyed it. Good work with the drums on this one too. Then lastly came the bass which finishes up the song. All the way through it just screams how good the game was.

Overall, excellent cover piece.

Spailpin responds:

Haha Glad you enjoyed it!

I always hated fighting Diablo, but once you had him, he was awesome. Also, his card is really awesome and allowed me to whoop the Queen of Cards finally, and start getting some more serious cards. I realize not everyone played the card game, but I found it to be really awesome. I had no problem with Tthe Minotaur Bros. because you can just cast float and ignore all of their ground attacks.

Okay, enough being a nerd. Thanks for listening!

Cool remix

I like how you replaced the main guitar with a synth to make it sound hyper. Then you replaced the bass with a synth bass line that sounds very matching. I also enjoy how I can hear a xylophone hidden in there as well. The drums sound wickedly done for a remix too. The tune kind of still makes you want to headbang despite it being a techno theme remix.

Overall, awesome remix. \m/

ganon95 responds:

yea thunderhorse is a fun song to remix, you can add alot of drum variations to it

["Dr. Wily's Stage" - MegaMan2]

Great cover

I've seen this used in many custom made versions of Mario games usually during castle or space levels. Now that I hear the original it sounds great and the flow of the tune is quite awesome to hear it remixed in such a way as well that it makes people feel awesome and epic for some reason too.

The synths sound incredible here and give you a dismal doom of hope kind of feel too. The drums sound good hear and I really like how they go as well. Like the backing synth being soft and working alongside the bass. Enjoy the effect of how the beat always sounds like it is getting ready to go off which is cool.

Overall, awesome cover!!

Thanks for such a descriptive review! I don't mind receiving more reviews like this. :)

Good idea

I think the start is right, there is no one pure ethic with all the problems, every kind of person tends to have problems even those who wish to solve problems have problems. You laid down some good rhymes as well so that was nice.

The piano was good. The drums provide the second part. Then the vocals and start finish up this piece. You did good here.

Overall, a very touching but odd piece I think.

HeIsAlive responds:

People need to wake up.

Im glad you liked the song and the message.
Touching is what I was going for :D

[Pocketpod - Hybrid]

Sweetly done

I love the flow of the drums here and this is one very happy sounding song that I have enjoyed the full way so great work on it. The wah wah notes I hear are very good here and very enjoyable. Enjoyed the radio part too. Then the drums build back up and burst into a very colorful and cheery tune that anyone could possibly enjoy.

The synth sounds amazingly happy. The drums get you into the feel for going at it. The long and ambient bass synth notes are good here. The synth itself keeps you feeling very good and awesome at the same time as well so you did good there as well.

I have to say that overall you made short work of doing a cheery song. Great job!!

Pocketpod responds:

Thanks for your great review!

glad you like it!

[Cerubus (DEMO)]

Wicked

This has a Madness feel to it actually since it keeps getting louder and louder until the end, kind of maddening too. I would love to see someone use this as a boss song in their flash actually. This piece just fits everything for a good boss song as well so that is great. It is also a nicely short cut loop too.

The synth gets maddening as it gets layered up all the way to the end of the piece. The bass line sounds wicked. I enjoyed the drums since they played really fast here and kind of get you all wound up as if you had just drunk a full cup of coffee in the morning.

Overall, crazy yet awesome boss theme!!

[Dr. Robotnik's Badnik Symphony]

Ivo Robotnik

Haha, enjoy how you tried to make this sound slightly funny while working on it. Sounds like something I would hear at the start of a 90s movie actually that is comedy based and such. Kind of makes me think of Mouse Hunt too. The ending was funny although you should have used his voice throughout the whole thing rather than just the ending, oh well, still sounds great.

The piano and xylophone sounded great together. Enjoyed all the high pitched sounds and PENISH at the end which made it slightly funny. They should have played this on the Hang Castle level of Sonic Heroes, would have been real funny too!

Overall, humorous.

SilentTakedown responds:

The end is supposed to be a reference to "Pinky and the Brain". I would have called it an opera if Ivo himself sings throughout the whole piece. I'm glad you liked it though.
