[Rig - Stardust Backwards]

classic

you know you wrote a good song when it even sounds good backwards.

[Paint Thinner Saint]

Lets see

sorry guys, but i wasn't too thrilled with this song. this doesn't mean i'm saying you guys suck. so lets take a look at the song for a sec.

Bad: I recommend that you spend a bit more time mixing the voices. It was pretty difficult to make out the words. There just wasn't enough clarity. The only other complaint is that there was a bit too much dialog in the song.

Good: Great idea! Who writes about huffing paint? Very original idea. I also really liked the fact that you didn't loop your music track. Also, the fact that there was a guitar solo added to the song quite a bit. Not that it hasn't been done before. I just happen to appreciate it when rap isn't so "cookie cutter". Finally, you flowed really well.

All in all, I'd say this was a good song. Take a bit more time mixing the vocal tracks and you got a hit.

[~'{The Power Within}'~]

I'm no professional, but...

I liked this song. I'll start with the bad first. The cymbals bothered me for some reason. I think it needed more high hat. I dunno, something. My only other complaint is that it seemed a bit repetitive for about a minute in the middle of the song.

Now onto the good. Great transitions. nuff' said there. Also, the choice of instruments was excellent and the mixing was great as well. It's easy to see..rather hear that you spent a good bit of time on this song. The effects that you chose to use were nicely implemented.

Overall, I'd say that this song was well thought out and nicely executed.

good stuff.

good stuff

I'm not sure what Fatal Distortion is talking about. Your voice is perfect for the song. Yea so your voice is a bit raspy. But who the fuck cares?! That's how your voice is.
You're on key and the guitar playing is great. And as for voice lessons... fuck voice lessons. Who needs them anyways?

This is a very well written song.

Kingbastard responds:

agreed, no voice lesson ever:)
cheers man

['Clash']

interesting

very sporadic. has a nice groove to it. i really dig the harpsichord track. it adds quite the emphasis to the song.

i think the song should be longer and have different movements. like Mad Beat mentioned, the beat does become stale after a little bit.

all in all, i say it's a pretty good song. good job.

[Ancient Mystery]

nice

great stuff bro.

i enjoyed a modernized version of the ancient egyptian sound.

my only complaint is the repetativeness of the song. it needed a bit more. i dunno what, just something more.

great job though.

fosterCHILD16 responds:

haha thanks man, yeah i know what you mean, sometimes it just drags on a bit too long.... i needed to add a little bit here and there and maybe cut the length some, eh i probably wont re-edit cuz i lost the data for it so id need to rework the song from scratch....but thanks for the review, ill keep that in mind if i come back and make a similar song

peace

[Metric Key]

err...

i like the first impact of the sound. i did eventually get bored after about a minute.

perhaps you could try changing up the drums a bit more often?

Arnas responds:

Yeah. Why don't you listen to the whole song instead of just one minute? The drums change

[~The Girl From Memory Planet~]

nicely done

this is just a good song. period.

great harmonics and not over done. great voice editing. simple, clean, just good.

[^^Last Hope^^]

pretty good

the reverberated bass drum adds so much to the song and carries through quite well.

i particularly like the abstract sequencing in the song.

well done
