[Searching in the Wastelands]

Creepy abandonment

This kind of gives off that odd vibe of you just found a wasteland but to your disdain you can find nothing there of use, you continue onward to look for something else that could help solve your problems, you soon find a room filled with plenty of food and supplies.....

Drums: Makes it sound like it's real important that whatever you're doing needs to be done and quickly.

Piano: Makes it sound kind of melodramatic and saddening a bit, beautiful touch.

Synth: Sounds spacey.

Overall: This is a great piece, nice job.

[Strangled - Through the m]

Sounds devious

Sounds like a child's nightmare and they can't get away from the monsters in their toy box. They fight a valiant battle but it's in vain as no matter how much they destroy the toys they keep coming back to get them. Also kind of makes me think of Luigi's Mansion as well.

Orchestra instruments: This pretty much all I hear for the most part but the xylophone makes it sound extraordinairly creepy to listen to, very nice job.

Dont know about luigis mansion as ive never played it but yea the tone setting for this track was meant to be bombasticly chaotic and eerie. thanks for the review man :)

[Elias Reverse]

Great beat

This actually sounds quite nice without the lyrics or vocals included in it. You just kind of have that feeling you're in an empty place and so you just decide to take whatever you want since no one is going to do anything about it.

Guitar: Like how its a Fuzz box effect used here, intro it has a pretty nice little solo sound it I think. It sounds nice the whole time? Are you playing all the instruments or what?

Bass: Simple and classy back beat to make it sound nice for the main rhythm, sounds awesome.

Drums: Really nice and simple drum beat here, actually not all that bad, wouldn't mind learning it.

Overall: Very nice piece, really enjoy how it feels.

Sawdust responds:

Thanks. Well appreciated, though to be honest I didn't play a single thing here, I did however write everything. None of that loop tomfoolery.

[HellScreech]

Not real scary

In all I didn't really find this to be scary very much unless you enjoy playing horror themed video games a lot. Somewhat makes me think of the Silent Hill radios and when it starts to sound weird near the creatures. Don't remember a creature with this sound either. If you had added in a bit of static it could have been a tad bit scarier as well.

Also kind of sounds like someone trying to simply be creepy and yet failing at it. Then you hear wings at the end so I pretty much hear this.

"Huhuhuahahahahhuhuhuh"
"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyah"
*wing fluttering*
*tap sounds*

If you intend to make people feel scared when hearing this then add some static and make it longer by about four seconds.

[somber march]

Simplistic

this has a really simple beat to it like you have to walk forward with one sole purpose of finishing what you started so long, long ago in a land of where everything is completely screwed up.

Drums: Really delivers that heavy message of "Hey, go, finish what you have to finish, it's not over yet."

Synth: Sounds quite nice, what synth sound is this?

Overall: Sounds kind of like an orchestra, beautiful work here.

[Your Wall (WIP)]

Pretty awesome

This is an amazing piece is what it sounds like, your band sounds pretty cool, liking it.

Vocals/Lyrics: They just seem to speak to you like an 80's band trying to help people cope with what will happen to them in the future, beautiful message.

Guitar: Splendid and beautiful riff, do you perform live or something?

Bass: Kind of have to tone out the other sounds with your ears to hear this glorious bass riff, nice job there.

Drums: Extremely heavy hi hat hitting, nice.

Overall: Pretty damn cool piece, nice work.

I'm glad you're liking my stuff mate.
Hopefully you'll like the finished lyrics - I'm pretty bad at wirting lyrics in all honesty, feels like a chore to me.

As for performing live, I used to be in a band when I was 17 - 22. Our singer went to live abroad and we went through more drummers than you can imagine so it kind of fell apart. Since then I've just been playing the acoustic for enjoyment - I've managed to write about 30+ songs in that time tho. Once I've sorted a full band out I hope to start performing live.

People keep telling me that they can hardly hear the bass in my tunes - it sounds really loud for me... but then again I only use headphones (which are pretty bassy) I'll have to invest in some proper monitors soon so I cna master based on a more neutral sound.

Thanks for the continued reviews man. I appreciate it.

[Strangled - Beholder bunn]

Brilliant soothing flow

This seemed to give off a feeling off just you are having finished a mission and needing to relax somewhere in the distance at piece. The chorus makes it sound quite soothing and you generally hear other sounds added in along with the flute as well, very soft and this seems to be quite a lovely piece, really soothing, kind of a Final Fantasy feel to it.

Nice work.

Like haggard says its a creepy atmosphere, the bunny pen afterall stands for something darker. This will be understood as the story progresses. (2 to go)
Oh but please stop saying final fantasy, even though its a compliment alot of people say my music is like final fantasy but none but one (ancient) of my works on ng are inspired by FF or try to replicate its sound.

thanks for the review.

[[MC Crispy] - Real Times]

A lot better

This actually sounds a lot better than your last one which contained quite terrible audio quality, glad to see you have improved this time around, great job you did. That new mic seems to have helped you a lot.

Beat: Sounds rather simple and cheesy, why not make your own the next time around? See what kind of beat you can make it.

Vocals: Sounds pretty good actually, possibly post lyrics for people who can't understand what you're saying at all.

Overall: This can't really improve actually, nice job.

thanks for the review.

I agree the track is quite simple but i suppose its a easy beat for me to rap to. i could try making my own beat but don't have that sorta program.
I have tried before on Mixcraft.. FL Studio.. Cubase Essential.. and i was ok, but nothing amazing. but if it helps my track, i will try.

Vocals: yeah i understand, this is a freestyle rap and a lot of Lyrics even i cant make out now. i have tried to sit down and right a track properly but it doesn't flow as well as freestyle. i really need to work on writing songs.

Thank you soooooo MUCH! you guys on NG have helped a lot i will implement your Suggestions.. thank you again.
