it's waayy too fuzzy. i would describe the sound as sand paper- too rough and fuzzy. It is also very repetitive. you took the same chords over and over with a few guitar licks in there. you need to work on making the song diverse and interesting to listen to. working more on the percussion can help that. and don't go to my page, listen to the first song i submitted to it and assume that that's my standard of making music, it's not. the only reason im saying that is because you seem to investigate the ppl who review you before you respond...
word of advice. learn to spell and use correct words before bashing other ppl's grammar. ...it's "affect". now the guy didn't have a constructive review at all, he had absolutely no support for what he said but just because of that and the fact that he hasn't posted anything yet doesn't mean he has no idea what he's talking about.
3/5- it could use some diversity.

i actually find myself bobbing my head to this and.... i believe the term on the street is... "getting down" to this. the melody is pretty bad though. i think you should work a lot on the notes more than anything else you do. all i say to you is pump in a wet bass.

"neat combination!"

submission: The Daydreamer (IDM)

this is really interesting. experimentations like this really pay off. IBM beat isn't something you'd think of when you hear 'classical guitar'... it had a really nice sound and mood.

the synths in the background are a little powerful at times. im glad you took 'em down a notch at one point. and i think the synth is also a little too wet or has too much flanger at times. that balance between your instruments is probably the only thing you need to get down.

"cool song."

submission: Galeforce [Epic Trance]

date: April 29, 2008

i think the overall instrument choice was pretty good, they go nicely together. with perhaps the exception of the marimba thing... i think its part in the song was a little weak... probably more melody wise than mastering wise- it demands so much attention because of its sound but its notes are a little generic and sticking to the chord note o.O i didn't explain that very well. when or if you repost, elaborate on that instrument. my favorite part of the song was when you picked up with the clap at like 1:49ish or something. so damn catchy. in the remake of this, i think you should do more of those parts (have more of a concentration on percussion.) basically, i think there were several places in which a stronger melody would have helped. this is really the strongest foundation for an awesome song that you can get.

"simply awesome."

submission: Forever Gamer

date: April 23, 2008

i really enjoyed it, but i was waiting for it to be like really intense. you need to add a waaayyy heavier bass to get to that climax. wicked 8bit break. overall, very catchy and nicely mastered.

"pretty cool"

submission: Radical Dreamers (DEMO) -XvN-

date: April 16, 2008

i can recognize it now... i remember some other people on newgrounds redoing this song. it's nice and i think this particular one has a nice feel. however I really think you should get rid of the little click on every note, it sounds like a two year old with really good rhythm walking in an open empty room, or perhaps an old guy with no teeth trying to smack his lips together... hope i described it right. but yeah, i think you should get rid of it.
4/5 b/c i think you can elaborate on it... perhaps a few other instruments thrown in there?

"sweet"

submission: Furevolver

date: April 14, 2008

i like that rough style with radio sfx kinda thing. and i think the piano could have been a little sharper or maybe just less compressed. i like it when those drums just hitchya. maybe a reverse cymbal would have helped there. the bass needed to be much much stronger, especially when its just the bass and drums. during that part there were a few notes which sounded dissonant... maybe fix that up. i would have also liked to see more done with the drums, being such an imperative part of the song...
4/5

"nice job."

submission: Scatter._-

date: April 14, 2008

i loved the beginning in this. nice and smooth and then that hard sharp stutter percussion comes in. i think you had a nice coordination with instruments and perc in the latter half. however maybe you should have elaborated on that ending section. s'not too late either. good job. 'n i think you've inspired me to make my own stutter beat.
4/5 only because i thought some bass wouldn't hurt.

sounds a little retro with the quality. i was wondering, where did you find that tomtom. it would sound perfect for this 80's style song im trying to make.

"i liked it up until"

submission: DJ Bob Hoskins - Technophobe

date: April 13, 2008

you introduced that new compressed synth. wayyyyy off tune and kinda off rhythm. the beginning was really nice though. loved the syncopation with the hats. ... k, listenin' around the 2 minute mark now.... and im likin' it. nice driving beat kinda cool synth and the background thing sounds like it has some flanger maybe is a little overpowering and turned up too much... -building up now. i think those crashes were cheap. maybe some more reverb on that. k. now you introduced that "choir"... not bad but its still the same idea. maybe you should have changed it up a bit more by this point. and now it stopped- o.O uhmm. i think you should have had a more conclusive ending. and now im listening to my favorite part, the beginning. honestly i think you should have stuck with the beginning thing.

sorry for a abnormal review but it was long enough that i could do that. hope i made it clear that i enjoyed it though.^^
