[Let's Go Isane!]

Let's go sane.

Sanity is that which one can only perceive in a self view. I can call you insane for making this song, however you can call me insane for not liking this song. Once again, sanity is in the eye of the beholder.

Textures = Awesome. They are really what set this off for me. They made an extreme aura of feeling throughout the whole thing, which added dramatically to the whole dark feeling. I suppose since this is death industrial, that's what you're going for; Dark, Eerie, Suspenseful, Death-like?

Drums = Repetitive after a while, however, they were simplistic enough, that it didn't seem too repetitive, if you know what I mean? I mean, they weren't supposed to be super freaking blow your mind, and then repetitive, they were just there to set the pace. Or so I felt.

Bass = Bass was simplistic, however I never got to fully enjoy it, I sadly had to use my lappy speakers :C

Sanity = intact, but shuddered.

Approval = Yes.

PizzaBox responds:

Hahahahaha. I like this review. Thanks, man.

[Master of puppets Instrumental]

A little Drop D playin?

Rockin man.

Guitar playing was sick as always. Someday if you ever make it not blow your mind amazing, it will literally reverse blow my mind. >.>

The drums were good, however, I think they could use a tiny bit of reverb on them. That's a personal taste I believe though. Otherwise, they were awesome for the song.

Keep it rocking man :D \m/

fire118 responds:

No the drum kit I used just sucked. I'm gonna redo this.

[Termites]

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Well, I loved your transitions, a lot of them were creative and unique.

The outro where the frequency drops is pretty sweet.

As always the drums are fine work.

Much else more then that, I don't have to say. It's got enough things that distract from the rather generic bassline, that make it all worth while. Don't understand the whole "Termite" concept. Although, I guess I could see a termite walking back and forth to the bassline, however ridiculous that might be.

So you know what I have to say?

Cheers!

ABSOLUTE lubness.

ReFreezed responds:

Yo Yo YO.

Generic! That's what I think of this track. If I may say it myself though, I do find the track very catchy. But generic-sounding. The title is just completely random. lol

Drums!

I had a hard time choosing whether to drop out the high or low frequencies in the end. So I kinda chose both. Haha. It feels like I'm using the same kind of ending in every new song... o_O

Well thankness to youness, you Lubness! Cheersnesses! :D

[AT - Welcome to the Apocalypse]

RAA

I like, enough so, that the first time I heard this song, I went out to make my own version of an apocalypse song. However I never really got anywhere with that. Too lazy I suppose.

The beat was strong, and good.

I don't agree with the person underneath me. Obviously he's never played fallout, there's not some super dark feeling to each one of their songs. There's a simple feeling of loneliness.

Overall, I like it. Too bad for the cancellation :C

AlmostTechnicolor responds:

You're by far my most critical and hard to please friend. I don't mind though. Keeps me trying harder. :)

[Night and Day Remix]

I gotta say...

I don't feel as though I'm grooving to this. Sure the beat is good, and strong, but the melody in the background seems a bit to... prominent. The 2 main things are fighting it feels like.

Drums vs. Melody =... well... I don't know. I can't put it into words. I just don't like the way it feels.

The one SUPER reverb drum in the background stands out waaaaaaaay too much from the others, and it seems to distract one even more so.

The overall song seemed to get offbeat every-once and a while. Which threw the drums crazily awkward. They get back on place, but the drums play when I feel as though they shouldn't.

The ending is abrupt, however, not very abrupt. It seems like you were going for both a subtle ending and an abrupt. I say lean all the way one way. No reverb, or extra-reverb-delay.

I have a feeling you won't appreciate this review much, because it's very opinionated.

Anyways, that is my thoughts on this. DON'T HATE ME.

AlmostTechnicolor responds:

Ha, sorry to hear you didn't really like it. No offense taken. Not like I worked hard on it or anything :)

[Only a Copy]

I believe I've heard these samples...

Elsewhere.

However, I can't nag on them too much, they are used well. However, I think they could use a little Scream Destruction to them, just a lil something to change how they sound.

You used a ton of samples though. A lot of different sounds... and lot of variations, and lots of mini-melodies. I call them mini, simply becuase they never went much of anywhere, and they were primarily in the background.

Your beat got a little repetitive after a while. Sure there were small changes, but the snare and kick stayed in the same place primarily. Which are the 2 most prominent, and therefore stand out the most. Maybe throw one off beat every couple of measures? Just something to spice it up.

Other then that, I felt that this needed a lead. It had it's mini's, and it had it's moments, but for the most part it didn't have one. However, this can be taken a bad way, and a good way. Standing alone this song would get extremely repetitive lacking a melody. As a background though, this would sound amazing. I can picture it being perfect for an adventure game.

I liked the ending a lot, the way it was subtle chimes, I wish you woulda done more with those :c

Anyways, overall it's good, but repetitive.

[Hackers (Dubstep)]

Whoaaaaaa

Bravo sir, Bravo!

This isn't quite dubstep, sure it has the wobbly effect, but it most certainly lacks the whole slow paced part. However, I like it, a lot.

The distortions added were excellent choices. Yet, that's not what really stood out to me, your use of drum programming did.

They never stayed the same, throughout most of it, it reminded me of some hardcore drill'nbass. Over all, tasty goodness :D

I really liked this man. Keep it up!

WeDoExist responds:

Thank you.
I'm glad you like it.

I'm working on alot of music of the like.
Each song get's better and better.

Expect more.

[Random Canyon Man]

I approve.

This is trippy, however I approve.

If you're going for the "odd" effect. You've got it.

Feels like last Friday, and last Friday was a good day ;)

SwanBrown responds:

Thanks! for what it is, I think it turned out really well (especially since I can't sing) ;)

[Lamp - Scattered Thanks]

Mmmhmmmm.

This... Is great.

I wouldn't put it past me to have an autobiography out soon =P However, I'd definitely give you a free copy. You get free stuff all the time =P

Thanks for this awesome piece man, I can think of only one way to say thanks, and it's something I've been meaning to do for a long time. Dedicate a song to the 3, Lamp, Ref, Fire. You all 3 need a song. I just haven't written one.

I like your use of bells in this, you always seem to use some, but in this, they work really well, they stick in the background somewhat. I really really really like the strings, I like how they aren't constant. That's something I've always wanted to do, but I always make mine constant, which some what makes me disappointed. However, you don't have that issue, you just have the issue of rocking too much. Not like in a rocker chair... well, course, I've never seen you in a rocking chair... so I can't... what the heck. Off topic. Needless to say. This is full of win.

Once again, I'm having to think we are rivals when it comes to skill in classical. You say I'm better, however I think you're better. Maybe we're the best? We're tied for the best? I think we should have that =P We can both be happy then. Haha.

Thanks for the awesome song man!

*Raises browned Bread*

Lamplighter responds:

You're most certainly welcome! I guess writing songs is the only way for musicians to thank each other... and that's fine by me :)

Bells... I do always use those, don't I? I love bells, though. They're like reverb. And when I have bells and reverb together, it makes my heart go a-flutter. About the strings being broken... that's something I never even thought about until I made this song. I wanted to seem less chunky, if that makes sense. Having the strings not be constantly playing sorta adds some flow to the music that I like, and I feel silly for not thinking of it before.

That sentence about never seeing my in a rocking chair was the first part of this review that I read... haha. I had to get some context. I do love a good rocking chair.

Tied for the best? I'll settle for that. Your latest piece was fantastic, but this was one of my best as well so I think it'll be just nifty to call us even :)

Again, you're as welcome as a doormat (as long as it has 'Welcome!' written on it)

[Some Devil]

Orgasmic.

I have nothing bad to say about this. Nothing.

Your voice is incredible in this man. The guitar playing to.

Amazing.
