[A Fallen City]

~ Review Request Club ~

I listened to it quite a few times in a row, but noticed that I never really came up with anything to say about it. It wasn't the best that I heard and it wasn't anywhere close to being bad by any means. To me it just seems like another forgettable submission that I'll hear many times again in the future when I listen to the very familiar sounds. It's nearly impossible to create an original sound though.

The quality was good and the song itself was good, but like I mentioned before kind of forgettable. Perhaps a few more different sounds could have made me more interested in the submission. I don't really know about this one to be honest though.

I see what Haggard was saying with the whole quality thing. The sound that this gives off does make it sound like it has a little bit of lower quality in certain parts, but it's not really noticeable if you listen to the submission as a whole.

The piano was really good and I enjoyed it very much. It really sounds like something professional that you would hear at a concert or whatever. I guess I'm trying to say it's something you would hear being played live.

Have you thought about adding some other instruments into this as well? For some reason I have a gut feeling that an electric guitar would sound good with this. :3

[Joker Tape 1]

~ Review Request Club ~

I personally didn't like it that much because of the presentation. The voice itself was a good impression of the Joker, but the quality of the file wasn't too great. First off I found it too quiet to enjoy even when I had my volume up too high so perhaps you need to speak up a bit.

The person that you are talking to sounded too close to the mic. The total opposite actually. When he made noises or talked you could hear that nasty pfff sound that you get from wind hitting the microphone. He also didn't sound believable whatsoever.

So if I was just reviewing based on the voice of the Joker then I would have gave it a 10/10, but based on the other voice and the quality of the submission this probably deserves around a 6/10. I'll be a little nice and add an extra point though.

[[G] - We Ride (Snippet)]

~ Review Request Club ~

Well you tricked me. I saw it was rap and as soon as I heard the "hard life" part I was like, "Oh boy not another person thinking their fucking life was hard and their going to cry about it." BUT you didn't. You rapped about something great! You rapped about what you could have done and what you are doing now to make it better. That's good stuff man and the lyrics sound true like they came from the heart. I respect that.

The instruments were really good and the static effect was good as well. I personally had nothing against the vocals like some people did and I thought they were pretty decent all around. Not bad and it's good to hear a positive side of the negative things. It shows me that some people have their head on straight.

Haha that really means alot to me thanks man.

[The Voices in my Head [Jxl180]]

~ Review Request Club ~

The first time that I listened to this I thought it was mediocre and that it really wasn't too good or exciting. Then I read some of the other reviews that said there were vocals in it and I had never heard them the first time. I had to turn my computer way up to hear them and that's not good. Make them louder and this song would be much better!

I'll admit turning it up and listening to it a second time through was much better than rushing into a vote or a review after the first one, but like another person said make the vocals stick out more and use them to your advantage.

jxl180 responds:

Well, I made the song as I heard it through my speakers and that could have been my first problem. Only testing it through my speakers and my iPod. To me, I didn't need the speakers loud at all to hear the vocals. Actually, they can be barely on, and as long as I hear the beat, I can hear the vocals.

Thank you for your review, and I'll see what it sounds like louder now.

Not too bad. It had a lot of interesting noises and sounds in it, but there were also some faults as well. It actually reminded me of a song that I had heard before, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Like it almost sounds like you took parts out of a real song and edited it.

The problems that I had with it were that it got very repetitive after awhile and kind of turned me away from the submission. I find that the ending fade out wasn't really good. I would have rather heard this song end on a shorter fade out or a series of notes instead.

Birdinator99 responds:

I tried a couple different things with the fade out at the end, and this is what I liked best, but I guess that's not too good lol.

As far as the resemblance to another song, I didn't have any song I was trying to duplicate, but if I accidentally did, I'm sorry! It's always my intention to create 100% original stuff.

[Lamp + LB - Interlude]

~ Review Request Club ~

The beginning has this really creepy sound to it that it keeps pretty well throughout the entire submission. I think when it speeds up a bit it loses that feeling a little, but it still holds it to some extent. I do like the fact that the speed of the song changes after awhile.

It never really gets repetitive or boring and in my opinion it could really be an universal song. It sounds like something that could be used great with credits or an introduction, but also perhaps a sad scene in a movie as well. Pretty good job all around.

Lamplighter responds:

Merci beaucoup. I'd love to see this in a movie... at least I hope it'll get spread around enough to be used in a flash on here. That would be swell :)

[O.H.35 - Child of Liberty]

~ Review Request Club ~

I was digging it all the way from the beginning, but once you introduced the guitar it got really good. It was a nice mix of genres that you might not hear together everyday and it was done in a very nice matter.

I'll agree that even though it was pretty good and had a lot of variety at first that it does tend to get a bit repetitive towards the end of the song. There isn't any reason you couldn't cut it down and it would probably make it a bit better in my opinion.

OH35 responds:

Another positive feedback, and I thought people wouldn't like our genre here, seeing how this got 3-4 zeroes like after 1 second I submitted it to the audio portal!!

We really appreciate the criticism regarding the track lenght. As I said in the previous review, we really liked the idea of repeating the solo with very subtle differences in the accompaniment. Perhaps a little more variations would have made the repeated solo a bit more enjoyable to the listener...

~ Review Request Club ~

Yes, very simple, but yet very effective. I enjoyed it very much because it went back to the basics. Even though it was simple it still had a bit of variety in it. I really liked the fact that you used some voices because it might have gotten too repetitive without them.

I wouldn't have minded hearing the voices being introduced slightly in the beginning of the submission, but it wouldn't be necessary. Even though I said the simplicity of the song makes it good I will also say it seemed a bit empty like a lot was missing from it.

thanks for the kind words! :P

Dude, I hate the French and I hate rap. Nah, not really, I just dislike rap. The funny thing is if this was in English I highly doubt that I would have enjoyed it. The French language can be very musical itself and it just seemed very fluent in French.

I wouldn't mind seeing what the English lyrics are though. Perhaps you can add them in your author comments? Anyway, it's pretty good all around. I rather enjoyed it even though it's not the style that I usually like.

Did you rap in any of the parts or did you simply do the instrument part of the song?
