[<EagleGuard> Never give up!]

At it's finest

-This is classical music at one of it's greatest aspects. The fact that it uses those instruments that aren't used a lot and uses them at their best to convey a feeling that other instruments can't.

-This is what you did very well with the harp. It's so soothing and keeps everything flowing nicely and in tune with the piano. So to me you accomplished your goal to a high degree. I didn't expect the guitar(classical?) at all. It's part might of only been thirty seconds towards the end but it gave it that variety and suprise it needed.

-All in all I think you did a great job of mastering this track and making it sound as good as it possibly could have.

EagleGuard responds:

Thanks! I always like to use classical instruments in my songs, as they tend to be able to bring forth a lot more emotion than for example electronic instruments.

Yeah, electric guitars aren't exactly classical, but I thought it'd be nice to spice things up in that part and to add something new ;)

Thanks for the review =)

[The End [Rezurrection]]

Nice touch

-It was slower than slow but you hit the nail right on it. It's very euphoric and plays nicely in the background if you are doing something else. I wouldn't say it's entirely build-up though. It does reach a peak and stays there so only the first two thirds of it is build-up.

-The light build-up and suttle background noise play out nicely for the first minute and a half. This to me allowed for the bass to come in really nicely and build up. If you ever wanted to make a suite you could use this as your background and build up later in the song. Just a suggestion.

ReziUze responds:

Thanks a lot! I didn't think anyone would really like the bass, I myself found it to be kinda crap lol.

[Anesthesia (Sonic Numbing)]

Short but Sweet

-Hmm the beginning chords sounded awfully familiar but I can't remember where i've heard something like that before. It is very good so if you did get it from somewhere else I don't blame you. It really has this way of mixing the right sounds and the high quality really helps this.

-After the original chords it fell off a bit for me and went into a bland chord combination. Nothing that really caught me. I'm not sure but it might of been a build-up for the much better ending you displayed.

-Ooh I absolutely loved the plucked notes mixed with the high notes in the last twenty or so seconds. It's a very good sound layering technique that isn't used quite often. I recommend staying with that or coming back to it rather when you make something else.

WizMystery responds:

The chords are somewhat... non-chordal if that makes any sense. It's mostly P4s, P5s, and thirds with a polyphonic texture at parts (example, the end). I liked the plucked part the most as I was making this as well :P

[O rly? -GST Mix-]

Shock and Awe

-It came in a bit slow and the cheering made me expect something to be quite honest a lot different than what it actually was. Not as upbeat like an actual concert atmosphere. It did however have that nice slow intro to allow for the crowd without it interfering with the song so I can't knock you for it.

-When everything started to really get underway the deep deep bass was really a suprise. It's so much different than what you started with and showed the range that the song would cover throughout. It only made things seem brighter than they might of seemed without that implemented.

-I like how you overlapped the patterns and made several layers at some points mixing and matching different beats and sounds giving tastes of everything. It allowed for the long song length since this only drew me in more. It didn't seem as repetitive as it sounded like it was going to be in the author comments. Yes, you did have continuous melodies but you didn't leave them stale and stagnant to get boring. You actually made things dynamic and exciting to listen to.

-The only thing that I had an issue with was the long drawn out ending. It could of easily been shortened instead of allowing it to just sit on the same sound loop for fourty seconds.

Dj-GST responds:

Thanks man, I'm glad you liked it.

I'll have more out soon!

[Ocean...]

Well

-It's very soothing and relaxing. The melody has that effect of just calming you down. Not too fast, not too slow, just about the right speed to keep a steady pace and not too loud.

-I think it could of benefitted from a bit more variety. You have subtle changes in the undertones from time to time but nothing that really brought about a change. It doesn't need to be too often but once in a while add something a little different in for a change of pace.

EvilScorpio responds:

Okay, I'll try to do it next time) Thanks for the review)

[Chikaboom [box-killa]]

Well well sir

-You have quite the catchy tune here. Very bright and energetic if you ask me. A great way to just get up and get energized.

-The melody is also very unique and dynamic. It never seems to stay the same way for too long. It just flows how you would if you were dancing. Helping you choreograph your own moves to the song. It kept me entranced through the entire thing. It all ended up culminating brilliantly towards the end with the gradual letdown into the piano.

-The bass was a bit much for me at times. It just seemed a little too deep. I'm not saying that it overpowered any other part of the song. It fit nicely with what you did but I think it could of benefited from a little less bass in some areas of the song.

-Still it's one of your better submissions and I really enjoyed listening. I'll have to check out some of your other stuff some other time.

[Calliope]

Great

I'm definitely not saying that is a bad thing at all, but you have to admit this sounds like something that would play in Paper Mario or any Mario RPG when you are either fighting the ultimate boss (preferably it would be Bowser. It could really be any other boss though. Great work anyways, but I really think that listening to any song of this length 50 times CAN'T be good at all for your health.

[_-={A Dark Cut}=-_]

Great

It's relentlessly dark, with a sense of desperate urgency. Then after the 1 minute mark, it carries an evocative tone with the theme fully fleshed out. This is an amazing song, the kind that makes you stare at the game menu just listening to the music. Excellent work!

[[DX] A Cold Night]

Not enough variety

-This would work great as background instrumentals for vocals but it isn't mentioned anywhere about that so i'm just assuming that this is an instrumental only project.

-It's a short repetitive track basically. The melody repeats itself over and over with only the intro being unique. If you want to rework this keep the first 45 seconds or so and try adding more variety as a whole after that.

dx5231 responds:

Yeah, I know there is not enough variety, I guess I have to work more on this track. And yes, this is an instrumental only project.

Thanks for the review.

[[G] Friday Night - WIP]

Catchy

-It starts out a bit slow and could use a longer play-in. Unless you are going for the beginning note to cue in the vocals. That was something I did notice that was done rather well. The music really helped the vocals flow and they rolled right out.

-I think you should finish this though. It has a great start and the beat works well for the pace that you are using. I couldn't honestly grasp a rhyme scheme though unless you were using some form of slant rhyme. I had to listen several times to get the lyrics so posting the lyrics somewhere in the author comments would really help.

I just uploaded the lyrics for your personal enjoyment. Glad you think that I should finish this. I'll have a finished version of this in a few days.
