"Eh, bland composition."

submission: Fought Through The Storm [FM]

date: June 30, 2009

Sorry bro, the chords are incredibly overused, and after hearing these same 4 chords and virtually every third song, it gets to the point where it makes you cringe. And for a track of that length, it's gotta change more than just the instruments, melody, and rhythms (even those aren't altered to much), but the actual chord progression itself, otherwise it has that overtone of the same thing happening over and over again for 6 minutes straight. What I'm try to say is, what can you do to make it stand out from other songs like it? I can only really say; just add more flavor. Try unique rhythms, a different time signature, experiment with dissonant chords and such.

Although, I should probably stick out of reviewing something out of my genre, so I wouldn't take my review too seriously, it could be the definition of trance is to make generally the same thing everyone else does.

Excellent composition, I love your clean breaks, they add wonderful contrast.

Keep making more bro, you're fantastic at writing music.

"Excellent composition."

submission: My Pet Goat Acoustic

date: May 26, 2009

The twang of the acoustic guitar really adds to the atmosphere, I especially like that you left it out of tune as well. The dissonance really makes for a sort of an experimental beauty, and the out of key, yet soothing singing to match it as well. The noise in the background and the lack of effects make it sound very personal and heartfelt. The sounds themselves bring a tear to my eye.

The lyrics, however, make me sob. It's quite a tragic tale. A loyal farm animal that lost its life is absolutely saddening. An absolute shame you've got no one to ride anymore, my condolences. :<

"Pretty poppy"

submission: When you're gone

date: May 5, 2009

I love the drum sounds. Very solid drum layout too.

The chord progression I think doesn't fit with the presentation, and is almost one of those predictable pop chord progressions.

Something's out of tune :(

But what I do like about it, is that you can listen and like it without being annoyed. :3

Lovely work!

"What is this"

Holy shit. I liked the parts when the guitars were playing the most. MJ you so crazy.

Score: 3

"Bare"

submission: Piano (Loop) 2

date: April 3, 2009

The chord progression is stock and overused, the piano doesn't change velocities, and doesn't really have a wide dynamic to the music or anything.

It's just kind of bare, even for a loop. I would add some more dynamics. It bores me, to be truthful.

Score: 3

"Pretty.. void."

submission: {Dj-L} Nord Electro [RM]

date: March 15, 2009

It needs more, it doesn't sound full or complete, it sounds just ever so bare.

Also, the note progressions are pretty bland, a bit of minor ascents and descents can get very repetitive when set to a single rhythm like that. I recommend trying something a little out of the box to give you something that stands out from everyone else.

Overall it just makes for a pretty boring and repetitive experience. Keep writing and experimenting though, we all start somewhere.

The song came out great!

A very solid battle theme indeed. Excellent job, yo.

"How interesting!"

submission: [ Sadness and Sorrow ]

date: March 3, 2009

We've almost made the same song, haha. I have a song with only piano and a guitar solo at the end only nine seconds longer, but the chord progression is far simpler, and the tone thinner since I wrote it ages ago. http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/liste n/149028

Love the track, great job on the tones with everything!
