[[S] Otherside]

Okay

It's an okay beat, but the song as a whole is pretty boring. It's just pretty much the same beat for a little over 2 minutes and no new sounds are added and nothing extraordinary happens. Like you said, you're still working on it, so idk why you uploaded it if it's not finished. You'd obviously get higher ratings with a finished product. Idk, not much to say here. I mean it sounds okay, just very repetitive and boring, not all that moving and not a lot of substance.

[[R] Megaphone]

Not bad

I'm not really into rap, but this sounds pretty sick man. The background beat is just sick. The bassline sounds like it just thumps too. You should post up the lyrics in the author comments so we can read them too. The megaphone voice in the background sounds kinda out of place if you ask me, but everything else sounds alright. Did you make the beat yourself? Or did you just flow to it?

Overall not bad though, keep at it, you've got potential for sure.

Jirohbomb responds:

Thanks man. I will post the lyrics soon. I didn't make the beat though, I wish I could have though.

[TL - Breaking the Oblivion]

Hate to break your 10 streak

This is definitely good, and I like how everything blends together really well, but the main riff just really isn't all that catchy in my opinion. It's cool sounding, just not all that moving if you ask me. It would probably be great in a flash game or flash movie for something fast paced, but it's nothing I'd listen to voluntarily. I'm not really a trance guy though. I do like your basslines, but the drums seem a tad repetitive, and the main riff just isn't doing it for me. Seems trendy and not really anything extraordinary.

You obviously have talent in trance though, so keep up the good work. I'd like to see more from you in the future and hear some different sounds you can come up with ;)

TeHLoY responds:

Hmm. Thanks for taking the time to review it anyway.. Quite appreciated.
Bit sorry for the repetetiveness, but this song was made to my own taste, and may not fit other's..

[The Guilty]

Wow

I don't understand why this would get zero bombed. This is awesome. I let this play in the background while typing up a big post, and it's totally badass. Obviously it has its flaws, but for the most part it's good. Maybe it's because the audio portal is a tad Trance biased, and people can't appreciated different genres of music. Idk really, just a guess.

Anyway, the vocals are sick. Right off the bat the voices in the beginning and throughout the song are just awesome. They totally fit the mood and blend really well. The growls in the song remind me of the old days of listening to Coal Chamer. I'm not sure if that's what you were going for at all, but it sounds just like it, and it's fucking badass. The instruments all sounded legit, nothing insanely catchy, but I suppose it would need a better EQ or a producer to reach maximum potential, as with any rock/metal/heavy music. That's just a given though.

The only thing I'm left wondering that you should list is how was this made? Is this your band? Did you play each instrument seperately and mix these via computer? Or were these all made in a separate program? I'm really curious to know, please list that as it would help reviewers a lot. All in all though sick, I loved the vocals. The singing sounded a tad cheesy, but the growls were sick as fuck and the voice acting was perfect. Keep up the good work.

Pure-Metal-UTA responds:

Thanks! That's extremely useful!
I made this on my own in my room. I use reaper DAW as my program to mix the instruments which i play together. I use EZDrummer for the drums, and DSK Bass for the bass.
I am in a band, but we haven't gotten anywhere as of late, but we do have some songs recorded in my room, which isn't a bad start.
Thanks for the review, it's greatly appreciated!

[-:.Sleeping Darkness.:-]

Damn

This is awesome. Totally my style. The beginning did have a real 8 bit sound to it, and I honestly wasn't expecting the break at all and it was so awesome when it just came out of nowhere. I was like, oh yes...yes lol. Has a real aphex twin drum sound to it. Okay, I'm downloading this, lol. I can't really give you any constructive criticism sorry, it just sounds perfect. Maybe the ending could have been a bit better I suppose. It really did seem to fall out of nowhere, much like it began, lol. Only the ending could have really used a fade out. Please keep it up and keep making music, lol. Your drums are fucking awesome.

garlagan responds:

wow dude thanks a lot! I appreciate your awesome feedback!
I'm glad you liked it =D

[.:Horror in the Playhouse:.]

Nice

Nothing I'd listen to in the car obviously, but it does have a really good sound to it. I pictured some kind of nightmare before christmas shit. All the sounds were blended together really well and the build up to the climax just sounds perfect. Not really much criticism I can give you here, it sounds complete. It has a really finished sound to it. Keep up the good work.

camoshark responds:

Sorry for the late response, been hard at work like the others. thanks alot for the review, glad you enjoyed!

[leipzig]

Hmm

Well, it's certainly nothing I'd ever listen to voluntarily. I knew you had reversed something right off the bat when I heard that noise. I don't think the reversed noise sounds very musical at all personally, and the drums really sound out of place and not well thought through. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but I really don't like this track all that much. It's pretty much the same sound for all four minutes and never really goes anywhere besides strange drum patterns. This either needs a lot of work, or you just need to scrap it and start fresh.

It doesn't really convey a relaxing mood to me, just sounds more like disorganized sounds, and I really don't like the reversed noise at all.

[Suia-hausmaster]

Not bad

Sounds okay, but in my opinion most of the track was boring and seemed to be missing a bassline until around 2:00. After that the track was pretty good, but before that it just seemed really lacking. I mean it was a good beat, but I think you really should have added more to it. I think I heard an FL preset drum loop in here too, which is fine, I just totally recognized it so it didn't sound all that original. It seems like a decent track overall, just maybe not for me.

I see you also write reviews back, lol. My songs sound a lot like yours in most cases, and probably have gaps as well. Just wanted to state that, it's not like I think my beats are any better, lol, just so you know.

Keep up the good work man, it's obvious that you're still figuring things out, and all of your melodies are good, I think you just need to work on blending everything together a bit more, probably like me =)

[Reactor 7]

Not bad man

Pretty pleasing to my ears, actually, and I don't lie about my reviews. I'm totally honest. I'm not HUGE on trance, but this sounds like something I could see myself listening to. I really don't have any constructive criticism for you, it's an interesting sound you got here, and everything sounds good together. I suppose maybe you can try toning down the background noises just a TAD, you know to blend everything a little better, but not by much. The fast paced drums I really like. Ah, fuck it, I'll download this =)

Overall a decent track. Keep up the good work.

Phyortek responds:

thanks for the great review dude :-)
I appreciate it

[Midnight Lights]

Wow

This song is truly amazing. The beginning is so subtle and beautiful sounding...and then from there it progresses into something really magical.

I absolutely love this, and I'm downloading it now. Keep up the good work.

DjRin responds:

=] I am humbled by your praise, friend.

You know, if you like this, I have a track called Into the Sun. Kinda different vibe (a bit more uplifting) but you should definitely give it a listen. Then again, any of my stuff is up for listening too.

You got anything you want me to listen to, lemme know!
