[Nonascertainableness]

Not the best

In the very beginning it was so quiet that I turned my speakers all the way up, just to be blown away by how loud things were shortly after. So a volume problem here perhaps where some instruments need to be turned down a bit.

I think the biggest problem other than that was the fact that there were so many things going on at once and they just didn't seem to mix well. It sounded very cluttered and just messy. Perhaps a bit complex?

The quality of the instruments themselves though were alright. I've heard better guitar before, but it wasn't bad by any means.

[Closing Club]

Yeah not bad

A bit generic here and there and a bit boring here and there, but a few parts that really sounded good too. I can really see where you were going with the last song being played at the dance club theme here. It's almost like one of those sad songs that you would say, "Damn it was a fun night, but it's finally over."

I actually don't see myself dancing to this though. Seems to me more like the closing credits to a flash submission or perhaps a long ass RPG type video game. So I don't think I could see people dancing to this, but I definitely see where you were going with it.

[Deadbeat Shuffle (Daisy Chain)]

A bit better than the last.

I liked it all and it had a very nice hardcore sound to it at the beginning of the song. At the end of the song I don't really like the fact that it faded out so long. It seems that the guitar really picked up towards the end and you just faded through it like that part wasn't very important.

A decent song all around and I think a little bit better than your last. Doesn't sound as empty or like it needs anything additional like vocals. Perhaps a bit of static in this one though?

Cornilious responds:

I'm not sure about the static, it might be that or the large amount of fuzz on both the guitar and bass.
I really do think this needs vocals though.

[BeautifulSound(DaisyChain)]

I thought it was pretty good.

It sounded like something that I had heard before, but I just couldn't put my finger on it because I'm not that good at remember names and what not. I think the instruments were done rather well in this submission, but the overall feel that I get from this submission is that it's kind of empty.

Such as it needs vocals in it. Other than that it's very relaxing and a good quality song overall. Like I said it just seems a bit empty.

Cornilious responds:

Vocals, vocals, vocals!
They will be added sometime, hopefully soon.

[We Are Lost (full Vocals)]

I'll go with a 7 here.

First off why did your account become deleted? I rather not review submissions from someone who's just going to get deleted eventually. :/

Anyway, the song itself sounded really good. Good background music and the vocals mixed in very well. It was very upbeat and fun to listen to for awhile, but in my opinion it went on for too long.

It ended up getting rather repetitive and boring after awhile. It almost sounded like you could have cut the song length in half to reduce this repetitiveness and I think it would have sounded much better like that.

Perhaps a couple of different lyrics would have helped out with the repetitive feeling also.

the deletion was of my past account.

[(SoD) -Together-]

Ahaha

I'm laughing because I actually thought this was a girl singing all along. And then I noticed the part in your author comments and I laughed. BUT you are 13 so that's expected. No problem with that at all my friend. Actually nice calming voice, even if it does sound female. O.o

Picking aside now the song is pretty cool all around. Good effects and good beat to it all around. It changes up a bit throughout the entire thing and never gets too repetitive or anything like that.

There was a nice effect where the song started off rather slow and then picked up and got more exciting as it went. Nice job all around.

[Coming Home (Daisy Chain)]

Hmm, lets see here.

This all sounded really good. I probably let it play over a couple of times before I could really think about anything to say about it, but I finally figured out a couple of things.

First I would like to say that I think that the guitar is drowned out by the rest of the music a little bit. Not so much that the other music is too loud, but more over that the guitar is too quiet.

Other than that a very decent song all around. Nice and relaxing to listen to. Worth a listen in my opinion. Keep up the good work.

Cornilious responds:

I'm assuming you mean the guitar playing the melody. I originally wanted it to be low in the mix because I want to put some vocals in too. I think that the vocal melody and the guitar melody would be similar but varied at some parts so I didn't want them to clash if they were the same volume.
Thanks!

[Jumpstyle (Beat 1)]

Woah, fun.

The area right around 50 seconds give and/or take a second or two made this song very exciting in my opinion. Really starts off sounding generic, but you added a few cool effects to it that made it really sound good.

Something that I was really nodding my head to the entire time along with tapping my foot on the ground. Just gives that feeling that you want to move when listening to this song.

The introduction of vocals later in the submission was really nice and from there on you had even more cool effects that really made this submission sound good.

Overall it was really upbeat and fun to listen to. Great job!

JumpstylezBeatz responds:

Awesome to hear you enjoyed it :)

[London Brew (One chord Jazz)]

Hmm not too bad at all.

The song itself was pretty catchy. Something I was nodding my head along to while listening to. The vocals themselves actually seemed kind of hard to understand. To be honest I don't think I would consider hardly any of it without the lyrics being written down in the author comments.

The area in the middle of the song between the vocals might have gotten a bit too quiet. I know you were doing that more on purpose, but a little bit more going on would have made it better in my opinion.

Woah, the static in the end almost knocked me out of my chair. I really didn't see that coming at all. O.o Something that should be fixed for sure if at all possible.

HolyKonni responds:

You were headbanging to my song? COOL!! Sorry for the static. It's horrible when listening with headphones, right? Thanks for reviewing!

[Summer Solace {durn}]

Not bad.

Sorry to see that it was used in a spam submission, but at least the submission was flagged. O.o

It had a very good video game feel too it. To me I can see it being used in credits to a flash game or movie, but if it were to be used for the main part of a submission I would rather see it in a game then i would a movie.

The fadeout at the end made it sound very good for credits. The simplicity of the song really worked in it's favor. Not too much going on, but just enough to make it a fun upbeat song. Upbeat, but yet relaxing at the same time.

Maybe some room for a couple of voices with a blurred or muffled effect on them would be nice somewhere here.

durn responds:

Thanks dude. :) I was actually thinking about using a sample of children playing/laughing in a field for the intro but had had enough of working on it by that point. :)
