[Anxiety Cure - Club (A->N)]

Awesome!!!

This song is in a overall point of view, amazing. The beat behind the vocal is amazing, I love that cruchy saw sound, sounds like a really good distorted saw of goodness, the beat flows nicley, dosent get boring after a while or anything. The vocals could use some work but hell It is really good right now. I really really hope you succeed in the future, I will see if I can buy your future albums.

Keep that amazing music coming!

5/5 - 10/10 - DL'ed - Worshiped ( I only give it out to really really good songs ;D)

ApproachingNirvana responds:

Thanks for the review! As we've mentioned before we have been working on vocals for quite awhile. As this is a remix of a previous song, the vocals were used from the first version. Basically, this was one of our first vocal songs and while it was okay at the time, there was a lot of work to be done on the vocal performance and mixing. We've really gotten better with that - check out our Myspace for some sweet examples.

Thanks again! We hope we'll succeed as well - regardless of that, we'll keep giving to this community.

I hate you

I really do, BUT I REALLY LOVE THIS SONG, anyways, I don't hate you haha its just that this is such a awesome song that It made me jelous a bit haha. I love everything in this song, the bass is pretty nice, I like the parts with the sub bass. the lead sounds wierd to me but I like it, its very hands up-ish but I like it a lot. I'm guessing thats a pitched bass I hear? well it sounds excellent with the song. I love the part with the gated pads and piano, that was pretty epic, I don't see anything wrong with the song so far. Maybe add a thing or two to spice it up, but it is already spicy as a bag of coals coated in peppers lol. Amazing artist, amazing song, amazingness all over

5/5 - 10/10 - DL'ED!!! - Worshiped (All hail this song!)

Thanks for the review dude.

[CKC - My Anthem]

There we go!

You have improved a lot since your first song, when every you introduce a new sound you dont leave the bass/loops keep playing over and over, you actually make a fill for them and that was a good idea. It is a bit repeatative but no worrys, its still a good song, I see a lot of good improvement on this, you had some sort of arp thing going on 2:22ish, try to make a lead and add some more elements as always. I like the song overall, you added more new addons/fills/loops and etc. Try to change the sounds around and its good :D

[18Chocolates]

Fast paced

Well this is a faster piece than others, it does have some very intersting sounds and elemnts playing. The drum loops is crazy and sounds not that bad, the chords are basic, all the effects and synths at the end are very out of place, some of them did not match but I like your effort into putting this type of song, I know how hard it is to have that perfect drum loops song with crazy synths and all. The creepy effect in the background made me shiver a bit followed by the creepyness and randomness of this song. I hope you can improve on this song, I would like to see some work done on this.

6/10 - 4/5

[Metallic Symphony]

Good mix

Its a good mix indeed, you mixed the classical sounds like the strings nicley with the drums, although, those drums are soft, for a song like this, a song that has those kind of building chords play your drums loud and make it sound like battle drums if you know what I mean. Also add chords that play through out the song, I like the chords playing once in a while, the deep brass sound, but try adding some kind of strings playing to keep the song in motion. If you include all that I said, I'm sure this song will be better, remember, battle drums + powerful and meaningful classical strings sound amazing. Also it is a very simple and basic song, add some spice to it.

6/10 - 4/5

Nermio responds:

I will, Thanks!

[CorkScrew]

Wierd, but good

This song is random, but in a good way, I like these types of songs that have many wierd elemnts playing, it add more creativity to the song and there for making it unique, I really like the violins and other strings on this followed by that drum loop. Things to add is fixing the synth that kinda swooshish through the song, maybe lowering the volume or somthing. Also try to manage the sounds, have your classical sounds playing, and then introduce your drum loops followed by the synths and randomness. I see good opportunities on this song.

7/10 - 4/5

Thanks, I will take that into consideration. Maybe a revision.

EDIT: I made a revised version It can be found here. http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/liste n/258767

[Souper Loop 1]

Interesting

I don't here these types of songs much but it did strike to my attention. The first couple of seconds are nice, with the effect and drum loops, but once that wierd synth that sounds like a some type of horn with a slight LFO on it, well I don't think it matched that well, also i noticed the song suddenly ended. Thing to add to this is a lead build up, the song from the start has a good flow, the guitar-ish synths come in and get me in the mood of listening to a good calm song. Add more powerful chords, the effects are good as it is, some sort of lead build up, or any build up in that matter.

Syntrus responds:

no my song. thx for the insight.

[Its a Hard Grind]

Good flow

The beat has a good flow to it, it is very settle and a bit simple, you should try adding some more sounds into it, don't only use a loops, synth, and a sub bass, try adding some chords and a bassline oh some sort, something to spice it up. The vocals sound as if you are reading it and just saying normally, add more emotion into it and actually try raping it. Sounds as if you are reading a list, very quite and easy going. I can see good improvements on this, just work on the vocals, and add more sounds to spice up the song.

[Endeavour - SummerStorm]

Yea!!!

This is a pretty chilled song, its not something crazy and yet its not something like trance. I really like the melody, its very simple but yet it dominates the song. You did a really nice job introducing new sounds, instead of just playing them after a couple of bars you slowly progressed and introduced the sound. The sounds being played are not bad too. I like all the saws and the chords are very smooth throught out the song. This to add/fix, well the song does get a bit repeatative, maybe try making a diffrent lead to fit the song and mix it in the song. The bass is quiet, I hear the punch but its very weak and It almost feels as if there is no bass at all. Some of the loops you played don't match the song, for example the loop with the wood instrument or what ever it is. One thing I can think of is, start the song as a classcial song or a trance song and slowly progress into the song it is. I hope you guys will make a better version soon, and also this is your first song on NG, I must say its very good.

5/5 - 9/10 - Will DL the full version

Endeavour responds:

Hello DJ Sumara.

Thanks for the good review you gave us.
Yes, we were thinking about making it a classical trancesong.
But this song is made for NG, so we had to make it fast paced.
Many ppl here listen for only 10 seconds to a song and vote after that.

The chance is bigger they will vote low or even zero bomb it if i have an intro with only pads and a bass.

But thanks about the bassmentioning. we didn't think about that.
Thanks for voting and dropping a revirew,
greets Endeavour and Paperman.

[Just Breathe]

Where shall I begin?

I am going to give you a fair review, despite we are friends since like the 4th grade im going to judge you like the rest, anyways anywho.

The Review: First off, I really feel the energy flowing through the song, its very soft and delicate, but still gives out so much emotions. Thats he most important thing you can do in a song, give it emotions, a human without a heart is useless, same thing as a song without emotions. The song flows very nicley, I like the piano chords and the violins are a nice touch. This song is perfect to listen to in the morning to wake up your mind or when relaxing. When you send the song to me through AIM, I was amazed in how much you progressed in your music, you are starting to put your own emotions, your other songs were just some random beats with wierd chords, but this one is something else. I have no idea where you got the inspiration from but I hope to God you will make more stuff like this. Nothing is better than a good classical song that displays your talent and passion for music. This song is going to get you places, I have made my music with some random stuff playing, no real music yet. Some things to add are more sounds, try to make it more classical with a ochrestra playing and maybe some slow hip-hop beats. Some notes are hit really high, around 1:45, but I think you can improve them or changed them. The temp is around 120? I'm guessing and its a good tempo for a nice slow song. This is song is like a beat up Ferrari, fix it, add some new elements, re-do the whole car and it will run better than before. We will see how far this song will take you, I think it will begin your journey into the music production ways. I see this song as a beast in a cage, ready to be unleashed and ready to show the world what you are made of, I know you got that heart for music in you, this song shows that tiny bit of you passion, for your future songs show the world with your fullest of heart and make people happy with your music.

Well thats it Declan, thats my short and simple review of your song.

9/10(I gave it a 9 because right now you can work on it and make it a 10, if not a 11/10) - 5/5 - DL'ed - Worshiped (I only worship if its a REALLY FOOKING GOOD song)
