[[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.

[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]

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...

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?

[Hatred For Mankind]

Pretty good all around.

I thought that the vocals and instruments had a nice ratio of volume even though some people thought the lyrics should have been louder. If you simply turn your speakers way up it sounds like it's in the right spot.

I love heavy metal, but I don't think that this is my style at all. I love screaming, but this sounds more like I'm a emo and I can growl and scream and my life is so bad that I'm going to turn to Satan and hate mankind type of bull crap music, but I won't let my joy of life and music preferences effect the score.

The instruments themselves were very good, but there was really never that one specific part where the guitar blew my mind out or anything like that. It was kind of conservative in my mind. I already commented on how I thought the lyrics and vocals were kind of whiny and emo like, but again I can't let judgment effect my score since I'm reviewing on quality.

There's just something about the vocals that tells me this isn't quite here even though I haven't heard black metal like this before. I think the vocals can be improved slightly, but I don't know how.

Hm, I guess that's all I have to say. I added it to my favorites because I knew I wanted to come back to review it, but it really isn't one of my favorite audio submissions. I'll probably keep it there though for future reference. Keep on working.

himenow responds:

This is nowhere near emo. I am the anti-emo.
And whiny how? It's about a man who's oppressed by society and then becomes depressed. His depression then leads him to anger and rage.

And of course everything can be improved. I'm not in a professional studio and I do all my own work, I don't know all the tricks and secrets of a professional studio, but I try my best.

Anyway, thanks for the review. :)

The song is pretty good all around. I like how it's really fast paced throughout the entire submission. I do agree that some of it sounds electronic and some doesn't, but it really doesn't take anything away from the submission.

The ending kind of disappointing as the song was so fast paced the entire time and it just kind of comes to a screeching halt with an abrupt ending. Since it was such a fast paced song the ending should have been a fast series of notes in my opinion. Oh well, pretty good all around.

I listened to this like 5 times now. It really has a nice catchy beat to it and I loved the way the song and the vocals went together so well. I really like the effects used on the voice and my favorite part of the entire song would have to be when she said, "Rock this."

Yeah, great song all around. I really don't have much to comment about it as the vocals and the song just seemed to fit together perfectly.
