Great melodies
I really like the intricacy of this track. The subtle little things like the arpeggios and lower strings in tandem with the main theme the strings were playing was absolutely marvelous. You're really great at building off of such a simplistic little line to create something as complex as this. Well done. There's not much room for improvement, really, the song is great as is.
Wow. I must've done something right. I'm thankful that there are still people out there that pay attention to the little things. Really glad you enjoyed it!
Instruments are incredibly chaotic
This song was pretty much all over the place. It's as if you relied completely on the tones and VSTS to carry the song. That's not good. It's like shoegaze on a computer...
Anyways, as I said, the song was all over the place. It's only really listenable because of the high end synth sounds you put into this, but the melodies and everything else didn't work at all. It's as if you just put random notes together with no thought to the rhythm or harmony. Try studying some music theory a bit, it helps a ton with producing music.
Dude, WTF is your problem...
Very interesting
Massive props for being a metal band that isn't generic and reliant on double peds and drop tuning.
Overall, this is a very professional sounding song with great instrumentation, It's really dynamic, and the drums are excellent. It actually grooves! So it's pretty interesting to hear a metal song where the drums groove and give the song appropriate bounce and beat. And the vocals are cool, actually! I'm not a fan of growling, but thankfully you guys didn't overly rely on it, as the clean vocals were equally good.
Great song, great band. I hope you guys make a splash and set the metal scene back on track. Seriously, this is WAY better than most of the metal I've heard from the past decade. Good luck!!!!
Wow thank you so much for the review man. Our CD is in the final stages of mixing right now so I'll be posting some more songs within the next month or so. I would love for you to review them!
So fucking beautiful
I love the interplay of the guitar and piano on this track. The melodies are so beautiful, and when the progression changes at :59, the emotion intensifies. I'm sorry I couldn't give you more words on this, I'm not much of a musician. I can't really comment on this, but I just HAVE to give you props on the whole feel of it. Everything works together to create the feel you give in the title.
Great piece. I love it.
Thanks for the review! You don't have to be a musician to enjoy music. That's the beauty of it.
You're a fucking genius
This piece just blew my fucking mind. I mean, I'm 15 too and have a whole year of producing/composing experience more than you, and yet you've made every single piece of mine seem shit in comparison, and this piece just put the nail in the fucking coffin. Your immensely intimate understanding of music trumps mine to an extreme degree, leaving me simultaneously embarrassed and in awe. Jesus Christ. You are a fucking genius.
This song isn't just "oh cool you're only 15" good, this song is fucking GREAT. I love it. The melodies and tones interact with each other on a level I cannot even fully comprehend. The drums and bass pulse effortlessly throughout the song and leave me in a trance. I feel as if I am flying through a ecumenopolis in some luxurious jet while I am listening to this. Neon lights splash across the windshield as the chilling air in the jet tense and harden my muscles.
I'm truly in awe here. This is truly the work of a genius. Hit me up next time you have a big project.
Wow, this review literally left me speechless for a while. This is probably one of the nicest reviews I've ever received. I'm extremely grateful for it, thanks a LOT!
To start with I don't see why you think my stuff makes your songs sound bad. I mean to be honest I think your music's great and at least you actually take the time to record your instruments and play live with your band - I've never done any of that and just sequence everything.
Also I don't have much music knowledge either - anything I make is influenced a lot by what comes into my head at the time, which in turn is in influenced by stuff I listen to and go through throughout the day. Not really any musical knowledge there, and I'm deaf from one ear too so that just proves it even more.
But seriously I really like all the compliments. This review has really made my day and I'm glad you liked my track! Thanks again!
Pretty good
I actually really liked the feel of this. The drums were pretty great and really made the track in my opinion, if it weren't for the drums this song would probably be annoying.
The synths and melodies going on are actually all pretty good, it definitely sounds like a song that could appear in a spooky setting in a lighthearted video game. All in all, this is a very good track, good work. Not much I can say in terms of improving this.
Well good thing the drums were in it, I'm glad it wasn't too annoying then. Thanks for the review.
Great track
You did a really good job of making this track your own. I fucking love it. 10 stars, 5/5.
Thank you so much, this means a lot, it really does!
Certain instrument sounds could be better
I actually liked the composition of this track. It was very intricate and intense, just like the stuff I'm used to hearing in RPG video games. I really like how it kinda eases up at around the :45 mark, that was a really good section.
What I didn't like about this however is how the drums sound. In my opinion, you really need to bring out a solid snare sound for this; like what one would hear in a military beat. Basically the effect the drums have in FF13's opening song. Yeah.
Anyway, great piece, but the instruments could use some work.
And the drums continue to give me fits. I'll keep that in mind next time. Thanks for reviewing!
Really muddy
The main problem with this piece is how muddy the mix is. The synths and such are really unnecessary, it would have been better to just have a simple string arrangement rather than an irritating array of synths, or better yet, not to have an instrument other than the guitar at all!
Another bad thing that the synths did other than generally mess up the entire ebb and flow of the song was that it took the attention away from the guitar. I liked the guitar action you got going here, but I think this progression would've been better off used in a song with your band. It could sound pretty grunge-y.
I liked the solo at the end though, from what I was able to make out among the annoying synths, I heard some nice pinch harmonics going on. Good job with that.
All in all, this is a song that could be far better.
Besides the weird synths at the beginning, there aren't any synths in the song... It's just a guitar with effects.
I've been told that the mix is muddy, too much going on in the middle. I'm thinking about changing that guitar's work completly.
Thanks for the compliments and the review!
Very nice track
I really liked the vibes this gave off. Perfect music to play in clubs and shit, I loved it. I loved your instrument selection and how the percussions sounded and generally the entire sound of the track. Good job on this, man.
I love you.
