[Sometimes I Do This]

Badass!

Reminds me of a hardcore Boss battle on an actiony Genesis game.
Love it!

5/10

[Bakketoppen]

Ok seriously...

What the heck is up with the ZBombers lately?
This is a fantastically well written piece, and I envy your ability to put it together.
Well done sir, please continue doing what you're doing.

5/10

[Arpeggiart - Ice]

Meh

I'm afraid this one didn't do it for me. The main trouble I think is the opening seems to drag a bit with only the high frequency represented. Gets a bit better in the middle when the full range comes together.

It's not bad, just not my cup 'O tea.
2/5

[Stargenx - Carze]

Not a bad song at all.

Not the best I've heard, but nothing I can find as a fault...
The AP has been a particularly harsh environment lately, but don't let that discourage ya.

5/9

Stargenx responds:

Thanks for the review.

[School Work]

Decent but disperate.

I did enjoy this song, all of the individual bits were well done but I have some criticisms.

Your drums kick in at ~:11 and it's good, they quickly pick up at ~:12 to what sounds like a lead in to something, a change-up or maybe a melodic addition (something with some power).

The problem is it never comes and these build up drums continue for WAY to long (till ~:44) where they settle down into a pattern that fits the piano and eventual guitar style.

My suggestion would be to tone it down a bit, maybe have the build up start a couple bars before the guitar begins (instead of right after the drums start), and finish off with a crash as the guitar begins. (Just a thought.)

Otherwise, it's a solid track, keep it up =)
4/8

Machine9 responds:

I just now noticed that I put build up in the beginning. When I was making this sound track I wanted to put a build up to create a drop but, I just couldn't figure out how to do it with a piano. Thanx for the imput

[Soulero - Winter's breeze]

Solid.

This is a really good track. The levels are solid and I can easily get lost in it.
My only concern is that a few of the phrases are repeated maybe a little too much, but I tend to think that's true in most trance anyway (P.S. That's where I'd put this)

All in all, solid track, keep it up.
5/9

Soulero responds:

Thanks for the review : )

[Uneven Castle]

A great bit of 8-bit work!

It's a shame people out there don't seem to appreciate it.
Kudos on the good work, keep it up!

5/10

Powerfull responds:

Oh thank you so much!! I really wish I could have more people listen to my music that were more open-minded. And I wish the people who voted would leave a comment, telling me why they did or didn't like it. Again, thanks for listening and reviewing!

[Gathering of Bards (30DC)]

Well written!

This fits the theme you aimed for perfectly.
Sounds great, keep it up =D

5/10

BlazingDragon responds:

Thanks, man! I appreciate the input. :D

[The day time went dark]

Umm, Bad Levels.

To start, the guitars sound great.
The problem is, that's all you can hear. I think there's some weak drums in there somewhere being completely drowned out.

Fix your levels, add a bassline (I'm assuming there isn't one as I can't hear it at all) and this could be a winner. As it is though... it's just sorta meh.

2/5

MoRGoT1-1 responds:

Right right you could not be more right, there is absolutly no bass in this song, the drum is weak ?? you know why ? cause the drum is a drum machine and it sound like shit that is the reason it is not that loud

but if you can't hear the drum that mean you are deaf or something , drum (in metal) is not suppose to be on top of everything else....

[Cloudy]

Good song but...

nearly a half minute of nothing but kick ... clap ... kick ... clap is only going to get you blammed here (as is evident by your early scores).

Picking things up a bit earlier would make this song a fair bit better.
Otherwise, I quite enjoyed it.

4/7

Nastycloud responds:
