[[S_Rock] Indulge Yourself]

Dramatic....

Well this certainly seems to have a very dramatic battle feel to it anyways so that is nice to see as well I think. The tune seems to paint a scene as Hank heads down into a facility trying to figure out where everyone is only to see blood and as he passes by the screen goes slowly into one of the lockers showing Tricky had been asleep there the whole time and is now awake.

Tricky slowly follows Hank wondering what he is doing there. He follows him all the way down to his party room. Hank begins jamming out to the music a bit and notices Tricky's anger rise as he begins trying to smash up Hank only to make him smash his own equipment making Tricky even angrier and thus another battle begins.

The guitar sound here is pretty smooth and gives a feel as if a bloody battle is going to be taking place and no one will interfere as Hank and Tricky's battle wages on for what feels like hours even though it is only a few minutes before Tricky grows bored and leaves giving Hank a way out and giving him a subtle look that says never come back here again.

The violin feeling sound and the synth work well together to give a feel that maybe Tricky is not so bad and yet so misunderstood instead. The drums give a calm feeling as the battle wages on for awhile and gives a very fast paced feel too.

Overall, great battle piece I think. Also kind of reminds me of the Resident Evil video games.

S-Rock responds:

I appreciate the review bro. haha man I remember back in the day when Resident Evil first came out... that game always had me scurrd lol

[[S_Rock] Till 1 and 1 are]

Dusked

Kind of gives a feel that all is left as Hank is one of the few people left living in the world along with Tricky and the Auditor who are both living as one now only causing misery as they bring back henchmen to live as bloodthirsty zombies bent on killing all that they find in the area too!

The guitar gives a strange feeling as if living in a haunted area along with the windy background in place. The drums give a soothing feeling as if letting one know there will be blood and violence but you may just end up being able to survive it all. The keyboard plays a soft tune letting you know there is hope as you wage on with this abandoned world as you seek to survive and maybe one day repopulate the planet as well.

Overall, sweet Madness day piece anyways, soft yet harsh.

S-Rock responds:

See, This is what I want my music to do. Make people think. Make them inspired. You can't feel anything if you don't have an open mind, other wise pain is the only thing dormant. I like the way you express your emotion. This is how I win, and Thank you good Sir. Truly.

[Madness 2011 Rock]

Wicked

Well this piece sounds pretty good anyways. Gives a feeling of a boss battle going on as well which is pretty good anyways. Hank heading toward the final two on two battle are Jesus is done with Tricky and decides to help you battle against him right before the Auditor possesses Tricky and modifies his powers that is.

The guitar here is pretty well done I think and the solo feel is smooth at least. Gives a rocky feel as if Hank and Jesus might not survive the battle though so that is going all over rather well too. The bass gives a solid feel as well as if letting the viewer know that Hank will be OK in the end even if he has to be helped back onto his feet using a gun as a temporary cane for a bit. The drums give a nice fighting feeling so it works.

Overall, very nice Madness day rock song, enjoyable.

ComposerKuandohan responds:

Thank you very much for the positive response, but I've composed much better, and the mixing is terrible on this piece.
You would be amazed at our new work, except it's under Contract, most of it. :P

I'll post up a new mettal track for everyone, a great one, sometime soon.

[-YRX- Evil Clown DrumStep]

Clowns

Well this song has a very dark feel to it as if there was a clown right out your very own looking in at you with blood on their mask and outfit as they wonder what you will do next to avoid them. They see you walk out the room and they put their plan right into motion as they come after you. You grab a gun while they hold a stop sign with the stick, best of luck in this battle...

The synth gives a great feel that this could be one heck of a battle as you head up stairs loading bullets into the foe only to notice they are still slowly coming for some reason. The evil clown laugh gives a feel that they are only mocking you and your weapons as you get away as quickly as possibly.

The drums are very cool when combined with the dub and give a feel of madness coursing through the veins of you both as the battle wages on and others get in the way trying to kill either of you as this mad battle of nonsense keeps on going.

Overall, very cool evil clown piece, like how it turned out as well!

YouriX responds:

Wow thanks for sharing your vision. Of what goes on in your head when you listen to this song. Pretty cool!

Glad you liked it! :)
Make this effort all worth it! :D

Charming

Well here we go again with a superb Tricky feeling piece I think. The song just seems to scream rave and gun fire at the same time too I think. The song just moves along well and the dub sounds give a feel that Tricky is doing nothing more than playing around with you and just trying to have fun as evident by the maniacal laugh you keep seeing on his face.

The dub sounds are really soothing here and seem to just give the story that someone is going to be dying before Tricky is done because the clown has a thirst for blood that must be satisfied. The gun sounds and fire kind of give a feel as if they were an add on for the drums too strangely.

The synth gives a light feeling that someone is going to be having a lot of fun while all the others will not. The bass is quite fat here and goes out rather well as it gives a feel that something good may happen should you stay alive long enough to see it.

The drums are quite nice and good to hear. The ygive a good battle background effect.

Overall, greatly done Madness day piece. Has a bit of dubstep, gun fire, and just some fun put together.

Daydream-Anatomy responds:

Thank you very much for critique:3

Glad I was able to capture a madness feeling, especially centering around tricky.

[[S_Rock] Slayer]

Urbanized

I have no idea but I kind of see this as a song showing how Tricky came to be. He was a normal assassin but due to being nearly a killed. Some kind of deity revived him and infused him with powers but unfortunately made the mistake of turning him in a schizophrenic as well.

He destroys and molds a nearby building rubble into a mask and picks up a sign smacking down the creature who helped him get back on his feet. Not his fault though, he just can't help but suddenly feel a lust for killing any and all living things now. He noticed a person walking by with red goggles on and makes him his new target now. He shall stalk him until he is no longer living.

The guitar noting here sounds wonderful and also kind of doubles as a feeling of a siren going off warning that the clown is near as well which makes it all the better too. Gives a feeling as if you have a few minutes before the foe arrives to try getting you and whatever maybe helping you fight the battle in the wasteland of Madness series.

The synth and piano giving a feeling that there is still some calmness and a good heart left in Tricky somewhere struggling to free itself from it has become due to that event in ages past. Even while they kill they only wish to find some way of being free of this curse, this power, this blood lust!!

The bass is very calm here and quite relaxing I think. It gives a good feeling while it is very light back there too. The drums play up quite well and give a good solid foundation for the rest of the song. Kind of gives a feeling as if the battle may even be slow too.

Overall, great madness day based song, sounds sick!

S-Rock responds:

Word.... Thanks for the review mode. I dig it. I really wished I could have mastered this beat before posting it. It's all out of whack and whatnot but the concept is still there... Good enough for me :P

Horrors of the night

Get a good visual here really. Can kind of see things of the night creeping toward you as you pick up a gun and begin shooting the zombies. You wonder just how long you can survive as you slowly and painfully make your way to the top the research facility responsible for the zombies only to be met by a person somehow fusing with some of the zombies gaining all their strength. You only have one clip left in your gun. Best of luck in this battle.

This is a real scenery styled piece of music and I really like how it sounds as well. The quirky drums seem to remind me a bit of Tekken as well and the random drum rolls are also nice. The synth at times kind of makes me think of someone floating aimlessly in space wondering what they should be doing next in their life as they search for purpose and reason to live.

The bass is soft and mellow and seems to give a back drop feel as if the zombies were following you all the way up as you keep moving and struggling to survive the horrific nightmare where zombies are no longer a story but a real life nightmare for you.

Overall, very nice competition piece. Really a very nice and dark feeling piece too. Loops perfectly making it all the more better to enjoy.

DreamEater responds:

Haha thanks for the review buddy :D

ooo... zombie music huh?... tight x]
I was really trying to capture a darker more-sinister feel with this track, and
It sounds to me like that's what you're getting from this too. I am also really glad to hear that you enjoyed the overall production of this; I really took a shot in the dark, and tried something completely different with this track.

Overall I'm happy with it though, and I'm so glad you could enjoy it as well!

Thanks again dude! :D

Bum dum bum bum

This seems to hold a very greatly done rhythm to it and I quite enjoy it as well. The tune seems to flow and I like the phone part you added in there as well. It sounded like you were going to try saving someone from killing themselves and you go after them as well. The beat is quite well composed and very quirky yet awesome at the same time.

The synth seems very dynamic as if hearing four of them play at the same time at all times here strangely. I enjoyed the lighter synth in the back though as it gave a hope induced feeling to it which I greatly enjoyed a lot too. The bass here was pretty much giving off a feeling of explosions to me I think. The drums here were great.

Enjoyed around 2:25 where it went down and slowly builds back up with a solid drum beat. The phone call was also great but where did it come from if I can ask? Then after the light build up and her asking something it blows up to full dubstep which sounds quite well done I think and very brutally great!

Overall, I think you managed to make a very solid piece that keeps the listener interested in hearing how the song will end. Greatly done.

dj-Jo responds:

First off, thanks for the review :D

And about the vocal sample
I recorded my sister on my blue yeti (usb mic) to somrthing we cooked up in a matter of minutes (which was a big surprise for us because we usually take forever to get ideas for songs with some kind of vocals in them.

Glad you liked the song :D

[=(Magic)=]

Chilly cheer

Kind of has a wintery feel to it as if going through Ponyville in the winter time and simply enjoying the area as you complete season themed task for the ponies there and discover more of who are and why friendship is even more magic than you ever though before!! Wow, what a mouthful. I have to say though, this has a mixture of winter and space put into it making it quite interesting to me indeed I think.

However I can also see where you are coming from in which it could possibly be Twilight's theme but also possibly Luna's theme. I wonder what Celestia's theme would sound like anyways.

The synth sounds very calm and for a majority of the song seems to produce both a winter arctic feel and a space feel as well. Almost as if you were watching snow fall to the ground for the very first time and you sit there letting it fall onto your main and possibly wings as you enjoy it and the cold it brings for you to play in.

The bass is calming and provides a great background beat to listen to I think as you go through the song enjoying the winter feel of it all too. The drums sound good and I like the drum roll at the beginning too helping the song pick up the rest and start up as well.

Overall, great theme song for Twilight I think. Tune is very calm and peaceful, I like it, I like it a lot!

coleknows responds:

The drum roll was one of the new things i was trying. It is such a pain to make though.

The other hard things was making the second melody at around 0:55
And the last was trying new synths but yeah, glad ya liked it. I hope i can finish the whole series too.

It does have a sort of winter feel i noticed actually. Maybe this should be colgates theme :P

[Some stuff 6 /:]

Urban

Has a good video game feel to it as if you were roaming a city somewhere trying to beat the level. The synth and drums are great here. This is actually a pretty good loop as well I think. I think a better title is "Urban exploration" in the video game genre as well. Very nicely done piece, I like it.

coleknows responds:

Mmm, good title. If i ever make this a full song, i will make sure to name it that.
