"better than 2.0 for some reason..."

submission: Euphoric Depression

date: October 9, 2008

i like the altered tempo-ness of this version better. you go from this slow and grueling version of the riff. good effect on the guitar, really shined at 1:00 with the power chords. i like the change-up there. i like the dynamics of this song. even with the distortion you make the guitar soft. excellent playing skill!
it wasn't really repetitive at all, which is a bonus in my book!

Score: 8

"like sonic youth!"

submission: Hanging with the Graf

date: October 8, 2008

that's immediately what i thought of when listening to this! i like it. the crazy soloing and the spoken word vocals. real cool. too short, though, and although the main beat along with the riff was nice and heavy-sounding, this song may have benefited from a kind of breakout section, or ending, where its more or less a straight beat with more or less one of the same riffs as before.

Score: 10

"this is just awesome"

submission: Fancy Mike - Slow Motion

date: October 4, 2008

i wanna say its dope as shit but that might seem too 80s... i love this. its warm and hypnotic and the "robot" sounds are off-putting in this awesome juxtaposed way. i love the sound and tune of this. i has a great feel that is this standing still contemplative buildup of emotions... awe.
respect!

Score: 8

"sweet"

submission: Kitty Pride

date: October 3, 2008

something about that bass thru the vox amp makes this sound awesome to me. i really like this, because its not normal... at all! i must look into this math rock thing of which you speak. a little like primus, if they got into a deep philosophical debate with explosions in the sky for a brief minute on the train or at a bar or something... the fact that all that is just a bass guitar really speaks to your playing skill, even though it sounds like the triplets around 0:27 didnt work out so well (if thats what they were). whatever. the drums sound awesome, too. thick snare and good atmosphere to them.

Score: 7

"hm. yeah!"

submission: Ahead (ver1)

date: October 3, 2008

headboppingly cool main riff... i get what TenGroundandDown was saying about peter gunn feel, like an onward march of a beat... i love the bass solo in the middle! that really made my day. :) good sound quality, ok dynamics in the song itself (how the chorus is soft, and has the broken beat kind of break/hook at the end). it kind of loops which is interesting, as well. good job!

Score: 6

"1st-person shooter game fanfare"

submission: Sonic Armegeddon: Shadows song

date: September 4, 2008

this should be in a game! rock.
if you consider the work unfinished or anything, then i apologize in advance, after the fact.
this should be in a game.
that's the only way it's repetitiveness wouldn't be noticed... big explosions and people screaming and shit in the foreground of the soundscape, with this in the background. kickin ass, taking names... it rocks. but its the same thing over and over again. the drums did a little fill, and wow i almost got es cited for a changeup. but even in a video game, that's where the song would either fade because you entered the helicopter picking the platoon up or whatever. or it would flash to something.
i would have loved to hear some gothic organ part right in the middle there... that's what this song really needed... more.

Score: 5

"a-huh."

submission: Mutation Nation (Extended)

date: September 4, 2008

use more distortion. your fingering skills are excellent (that sounds dirty as hell) but for the kind of speed and the riffing of your soloing you need sustain and distortion in ample supply. that or just play harder. it had a cool bluegrass/metal sound that could of worked better if it was more of either of those things. grunge does owe a lot to rockabilly, and it was good to hear it. but like i said your technical skills were pretty good, but this song suffers a lot from simplicity (even with the layered guitars - they were all the same), poor sound quality, and timing: even recording just the first track with a metronome or click track will improve the rest of the tracks' timings dramatically.

Score: 8

"this was cool"

submission: This is Called Guitar Lesson

date: July 27, 2008

i like the melody of that second chord in the progression... what's with the timing? (and silverguitar's attitude?) the beat cycles out of the loop a little bit throughout, and then especially at at the end there at 2:20...
i like music like this, a simple beat and melody, it's soundtrack music, for walking/driving in between scenes or something, going after the bad guy or getting the girl... it's motivational metal. good stuff, but a bit more variety in changes and a bigger atmosphere would make this a truly epic song... nice job though.

Score: 8
