~ Review Request Club ~

Hm, the first thing that I think of when listening to this song is the originality of it. It really does sound like a lot of other songs out there, but most things have been done and it's hard to be original at times. It never gets too repetitive and has a really nice beat to it, which kept me into the song and moving my head to the beat the entire time. (That's why they call it dance though I guess)

Something that I think might help this submission might be to add some vocals here and there. I'm not asking for singing, but maybe something as simple as counting such as in a part where it slows down and then picks back up, before it picks back up perhaps you could have a voice counting 1, 2, 3 or something similar.

All around though it's a great song to move to and I liked the effects used in it.

Herdunculus responds:

Oh yea! Vocals like that would be awesome! Only, I don't know how to add cool vocals to my music...I'm gonna find out how! Thanks a lot.

[i ate the easter bunny]

~ Review Request Club ~

AHA!

I added it right to my favorites man it was pretty funny. Completely random all around, but it funny all the way through as well.

The lyrics were pretty funny and well written. The vocals were pretty much awesome as well. I don't know about the high pitch voice that said something after the "Out popped the Easter Bunny..." because it really sounded out of place there for some reason and I couldn't make out what was being said. The two different voices singing at the same time sounded great together though.

Not really much to review here because I can't find much wrong with it, but great job.

TheBardOfBlasphemy responds:

Hey thanks a lot for the review... this one went right under the radar it seems...

Cheers for the feedback, too... glad you found it amusing!

Yeah, that dodgy vocal your talking about: it was never intended to be in the song, just an incidental thing the mic "overheard". It says "that sounds terrible" and it was me, referring to the quality of my singing!!! I kept it in because crapping out a full-grown easter bunny in a shower of hot shit doesn't sound that great either D:

Haha, once again, thanks a lot man. I really appreciate the job you guys do.

[Mentality Breach]

~ Review Request Club ~

It started out great. I could really imagine things just bugging you and bugging you to the point where your head simply clears of what ever you were originally thinking and then suddenly fills up with some of the things that make you angry. So great introduction and it sounded exactly like what you explained in your author comments.

Now for the meat of the song though... I don't think that is what I would call confused or angry whatsoever. If anything that was a very happy sound and something that I would imagine hearing when nothing was getting to me at all. Even though I don't think it represented what angry and confused would sound like I understand that we all experience the emotions differently. I think confused would be better represented as more of a random song and that anger would be more represented as a heavier song.

Towards the end though I can really see where you were coming from with the sometimes angry part. The heavier sound that the song gave did a good job at representing and angry emotion.

If I had to review the song based on your description I think I would have gave it something around a 7, but since I'm reviewing it as the quality of the song all around I'm going to give it what I feel it deserves, which is a 10. I thought it had a pretty original sound to it and that it wasn't something that you would hear everyday. I liked the mixture of happy/angry sounds and really liked the sounds in the introduction. An overall pretty good piece of work.

Birdinator99 responds:

Hey, thanks dude!

Ya, this stuff is a lot heavier than what I'm used to, in my opinion (probably because of the bass part), but I guess it's not really that "confusing" or random so to speak when you think about it.

Thanks for the 10/10 and I'm glad you liked it!

[Alive and Awake]

I knew I was going to like this.

I knew that I was going to like this as soon as it started. I'll have to disagree with the guy that says he had heard something like this before because if he has then I want a link to it because I sure haven't.

I loved the sound effects that you used for this and really think that you took some risks with the effects that you used and that they really turned out well! The song as a whole was nice, upbeat, and really fun to listen to.

I feel that it isn't your generic Techno song that you usually hear because of the effects that you used. If anything needs work perhaps it could be how it ends because it just kind of ends without warning. I feel a better series of notes to end on would have been better, but since I don't know the techy stuff about music I can't really tell you exactly what would have made it better.

Good job though!

TheSongSalad responds:

Thanks a lot for the review, I really appreciate it.

[Saga of the Fallen Warrior]

~ Review Request Club ~

Ha, a song about Ninjas. Awesome.

You could write a song just about anything couldn't you? This was another great written song and you did a great job on singing it. This song flowed much better than your other songs and it was just non stop.

I liked the effects that you used on some spots for the vocals. The music again sounded great and really matched the lyrics a lot. Perhaps something you could see on the credits of a more modern ninja movie or something of the sort.

BAF responds:

hey Fro glad you liked it. I guess I will have to strive to match the smoothness of my delivery on this track as I have been told this is my best in terms of that. The effects were just me re-recording the words on the same spot after the first cut of the song was done, nothing fancy lol, I don't really know how to do that much with effects and i'm using audacity which is much more limited than something like Fruity Loops. And if I ever heard this song during the credits to anything professional i'd shit my pants! thanks for the review.

[My Workshop]

~ Review Request Club ~

This is pretty cool all around. I enjoyed that you had a story within your vocals and it went along very well with the whole robot/workshop theme that you had going on with this song. The vocals themselves were pretty decent all around.

The amount of lyrics that you have is amazing. Usually when listening to songs it's just the same thing over and over or just very few things being said, but you had so much here.

The music set behind the vocals was perfect and sounded really good with the lyrics. I personally didn't like that other voice that you had in there. The fake sound to it just wasn't really enjoyable at all. I also think that you kind of ended the song abruptly on top of that.

~ Review Request Club ~

BAF responds:

The gnomes were a completely spur of the moment thing! I was about to export the final product when I got the idea, sorry you didn't like it. Yes it does end abruptly, and that's a problem I face A LOT for the reason you already mentioned, I just write too much lol, and I have a tough time cutting things out. Thanks for the review.

[Halo Master Cheifs Spacewalk]

~ Review Request Club ~

I have also never played Halo before so I can't really relate it back to a Halo game or anything like that. I guess it's not something I would think about when thinking about Halo as I assume the game has a lot of action and this seems to be for a more laid back or even creepy situation then it would be for a shoot um up video game.

Like I said though it has a very cool creepy feeling to it, but at the same time it doesn't seem like whatever it is would be dangerous in anyway. It's almost more for something unknown then it is scary.

Very relaxing and calming. I almost get a feeling of space or being in a space station looking out to the stars and just drifting away.

[Spread Your Wings - BK]

~ Review Request Club ~

Good song all around. Pretty good length to the submission, but I wouldn't have minded it being just a tad bit shorter. Overall it was very relaxing and a nice song to sit back and listen to while wanting to calm down or relaxing.

The vocals were very nice in this submission. I think that within the vocals themselves that you can change them around a bit. Perhaps making some deeper or some higher pitch. Even changing to a female voice sometime in the song could have made it a bit better.

[Zombie House Party!]

~ Review Request Club ~

Well I'm scared. Not scared because it's about zombies, but scared that I might accidentally click on this song again someday and put my ears through the beating that they just witnessed as random noises, screeches, and pains were thrown at them. They couldn't escape either as it was like a fat kid playing dodgeball and all the other kids were very athletic and throwing at the same time.

Not trying to be rude, but there were too many static like noises (which I assumed came from playing things way too loud) and screeches that actually hurt my ears quite a bit like I explained up top.

So yeah, the song was yeah too messy and there was too much going on at once. If you simplify it a bit and on top of that tune down the volume to half of the random screeches that you made with the song then I would assume that this would be somewhat enjoyable!
