[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.

[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.

[Seashore Metropolis]

Serene and beautiful

This sounds extremely calm and soothing on the nerves, really enjoy how it just keeps you calm and fuzzy inside for no reason at all.

Piano: This sounds quite glorious and I like how it stays calm the whole time as well, quite serene here.

Beach sounds: They sound quite calm, nice work there as well.

Synth: Also soothing

Overall: This is a pretty soothing piece, couldn't really think of any words to describe this.

Thanks. That's a first!

[Cries of the Tormented]

Alpha Beta

The beginning sounded godly and amazing, then it switches to what feels like an ambient battle theme as if thousands of people were locked in battle unable to escape their fate of dying. This sounds rather amazing.

Chorus: Mainly heard at the start but it sounds extraordanirarly godly. Loved how it sounded.

Synth: Sounds so soft, so brilliant.

Drums: This makes it sound extraordianry and amazing. Really enjoyed that, nice touch there.

Piano: Makes it sound chaotic and frenzy induced, nice job on this.

Overall: This is a beautiful piece, I enjoyed it, nice job.

Step responds:

Well this is one of the more positive reviews I've ever received :P. Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. I really enjoy making good intros. IMO, an intro and outro are some of the most important parts of a song. A good intro will encourage the listener to hear the song and not press the back button, and a good outro would leave the listener with a good impression of the song.

The thought of the thousands of people in battle unable to escape their fate of dying never occured to me, but now that you mentioned it, it *does* sound like that :P. Anyway, thanks for the great review and the ridiculously large amount of compliments xP.

[Alien Rampage]

Feels like water

For some reason the sound at the start that repeats makes me think of someone quickly forcing their hand through water causing a very small wave of movement. i don't really know why either, feels odd and makes me think of feet as well. At 2:18 I went what the hell thinking the song had cut off and left a huge blank gap but the beat comes back in.

Wave sound: Sounds awesome although it cuts off for a bit before it comes back in it sounds pretty awesome, did you use a guitar to get that sound?

Synth: Yet more synths, everyone loves to use a synthisizer these days, wow just wow.

Drums: Sounds amazing, enjoyed how it created an amazing feel to it.

Overall: Do not improve this, I like it the way it is.

Birdinator99 responds:

Thanks for the kind words! Strangely enough, I didn't use a guitar at all in this song; all synths, bass, and drums (which I'm glad you liked by the way!). It's mostly me just messing around with effects and then forgetting what I did later (typical me...).
