[{BPS} A Big Repair]

~ Review Request Club ~

Wow, I think it was really said best with a combination of the last review and your response to that review. If there's something that needs a big repair, it isn't this song, but if you found that something, this song would help.

I do like this song a lot. The glitch effects were awesome and really made this song fun to listen to. Good variety throughout the song as a whole and a very interesting/original sound to it also. Not much to critique in my opinion.

Thanks bro... I mean Fro.

[Oasis Split Up Song #1]

~ Review Request Club ~

The overall feel that I got from the submission was that you may have let things get a bit repetitive by allowing the same thing to happen over and over for a bit to long, but the song itself isn't repetitive as it changes up many times.

I mean more as the same sounds are happening for a tad too long in the song before you change it up. Probably taking 10 seconds off of the submission in a whole could help this a little bit, but it still wasn't terrible. I just knew that when I listened to it I was on the verge of saying "This is too repetitive in this part" a couple of times, but shortly after the thought entered my head the song seemed to change up a bit.

I do like the part around 3:25 give or take a few seconds. I thought that was the best part in the song. I also think that you set it up to be better with vocals, but it's alright without them as well.

Sawdust responds:

Why are all my songs repetitive? Oh well, it's fine, i'll make adjustments then.

Thanks.

I think the beginning reminded me of an old style RPG. Something you would hear during a menu or in one of the various towns or houses. I like how it goes right to this fast beat fun song right away though. I really wasn't expecting it and it was just a cool effect as it wasn't predictable in any way.

The song itself is pretty cool. Fun all around to listen to and could probably be useful in a lot of flashes. Probably more of a video game type of flash that has something start off peaceful, but after a little bit something happens that causes some distress or action.

The instruments themselves would get a tad bit repetitive if it wasn't for those vocals in there every now and then. I think you've used the right amount of vocals without over using them or under using them. The quote that you used in the beginning was a great way to start a song.

The quote that you used in the song a couple times itself was a little repetitive though. I thought if you would have brought in some different quotes it would have been better all around. I do think you could have used it the first time and then came back to it at the end of the song, but like I said the amount that you used the same thing over and over got a little predictable.

[[G] The Battlefield ft. Gent G]

~ Review Request Club ~

Not my type of music, but I actually rather enjoyed this submission. The strong points had to be not only the good instruments and what seemed to be the perfect lyrics, but more of how they went so well together and that they mixed really good. The talking in the beginning was also very fitting. It almost seems like something you would hear during a war.

The vocals for the rest of the song weren't bad, but could have been better. When I hear them I just think that there should be more emotion behind them. It's almost like the person singing here is just going through the motions and not really getting that into it. Other than that, good intro and an all around decent song.

First of all, I GOT A REVIEW!!! OH HAPPY DAY!!! Second of all, I chose this beat because it has the feel of a battle going on. I wanted that feel to be obvious so I did that intro to tell a story in a way. my friend and I worked hard on the lyrics, but not on recording (he didn't I did) because he had only one shot at recording because he was getting picked up by his mom so he had to hurry up. Since this was our first try at recording, we didn't have all the expertise to make this be the best song ever. Thank you for the review, and I'll be sure to come back to the Review Request Club because you guys are freaking awesome at reviewing.

I just listened to the song before reading your author comments and the only feeling that I really got from the submission was that it was done very well, but only if it were made for vocals to go over it.

If it wasn't made for vocals to go over it then I would say it was a tad bit too simple and got a little bit repetitive after awhile. But with vocals this would take away from the repetitive nature a bit and it would make it much more satisfying to the ear. Other than that there isn't much to fix. By itself it's too repetitive, but I think the vocals will fix that up pretty good.

Jirohbomb responds:

It was meant for vocals, (which is taking longer than I thought) and I am still working on the vocals. Thank you for the review.

[All Hail Windows! 2]

~ Review Request Club ~

I've actually seen it done every now and then, but honestly never as good as this one was done. So original concept? Perhaps not to someone who's seen it done a bit, but creative approach and best execution that I've seen.

Love the creative nature in this and I can't even start to imagine what it takes to write something like this. For someone that is good with music as yourself it might not be so hard, but for someone like me I don't think I could ever make something like this.

I wouldn't say the ending was creative as anyone who has half a brain would use that as an ending. :P The thing is it still sounded great that you did it and it shouldn't have ended any other way.

Step responds:

Wow, thanks for the compliments. I had this idea in my mind since I was about 7, and after hearing other people do it on NG about a year ago, I started giving it a try.
Oh, and I spot a mistake in your review. I'm not really good with music :P. I've only used FL Studio for about half a year or less. Making Windows songs sound as good as this is just sheer luck ;)
Still, thanks anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed the song XD.

[Coconut - Original Redux]

~ Review Request Club ~

Lol what?

I love how this sounds like it would be some cheesy love song before you even get to the lyrics. Then the lyrics just made me say, "What the fuck is this?" Ha, the lyrics were awesome and really made me laugh a lot. (couple bonus points)

Good guitar all around. I love how genres switch as it goes to some general soft rock to random hip hop. The vocals themselves weren't very good though. Very poor quality with a lot of static/interference behind them. Not the best of singing as well, but the main thing about the vocals was the quality of them.

Thanks Fro :3

I am a pretty shitty singer and I was using a rock band microphone, ha.

[Jungle Rythm]

~ Review Request Club ~

Ah, so long to listen to. O.o

This was a very long song and I do think it could be a bit shorter to keep the attention of smaller minded users, but it never got too repetitive or anything of the sort so it wasn't bad like that.

Nice build up effects used every now and then. Pretty good title to the submission as the drums remind me of a jungle even though I haven't ever seen one in person. ;) I actually thought the song was going to end somewhere around 5:10 seconds.

If you were to ever shorten it I would say take out something before 5:10 seconds because right before the 5 minute mark and the rest of the song was probably my favorite part.

An all around good song. Enjoyed listening to it from the beginning to the end.

Step responds:

Thanks for the helpful review. I tried to make it as long as possible since I made one other (and I have another ready to submit), and those are pretty short, so I kind of made this one as a grand finale :D. I'm glad you liked from 5:10 onwards, it's the first time I tried a key change which actually came out OK. Thanks for the compliments and I'm happy you enjoyed it :D.
