somewhere between metal and punk lies grunge. wait, grunge doesn't lie!
cool tune. catchy and rockin... good sound quality, too.
something weird happens at 1:57, like the rendering program was overdriven, or interrupted.
Author's Response:
Yes. Sorry about that =D Big fan of your songs by the way haha. Im not too sure what went wrong with the sound quality. Thanks for the review!

i can't believe you don't think your voice is better than kurt's... maybe a gesture of public humility or something but seriously, hell yeah! your voice is awesome between the kurt growl but with the softness in the quite verses.
this rocks. a little slow, and a little repetitive, but hey that's grunge.
Author's Response:
LOL thank you. i'm not really trying to be publicly humble, i guess it's just really weird growing up as a nirvana fan and then having people tell me that.... it's like the twilight zone for me. but anyways, thanks for the review :-)
as always,
Zach

agreed, one of the coolest fuckin nirvana songs there is, and off the best album!
the drums sound great in this, but try experimenting with the power chords with FLSlayer or just have multiple synths playing the chords.
regardless (not irregardless) this is truly grunge techno! cool.

i can hear what cooldsunshine was saying about ti sounding jumpy, but since aphex twin is one of my favorite techno artists, jumpy is good to me!
i like how the beat changed from fast to slow every other pattern at one point; gave it a more eurotechno feel than the typical american counterparts.
intricacy in basslines is absolutely essential to music in any genre or format, but to again agree with cooldsunshine, the lack of a clear tune or theme in this song did hurt the replay value. being able to hum along to a song is important to some people. try switching up between the crazy frenetic bassline and a tuneful one. this creates an overarching theme to the piece as a whole, and makes it a little more interesting.
Author's Response:
Thanks for the review Gunshy! Yeah, I'll look into the more of a melody thing like I told Cooldsunshine. I like the jumpiness to it also, so maybe I can work on making it jumpy, but having a good lead at the same time. The bassline seems to be more important then I thought, so I'll start focusing on making it more melodic. Thanks again for the review!

solo acoustic is like tea or wine... simple, but you can just make out the suggestions of beats and rhythms beyond the music.
good job. good playing. the string plucking stuff wasn't great, but your transitions between that and strumming were right on

agreed, nice way to start to start off '08! awesome job. those weird guitar solos are tops. hmm yeah, debatable about the drums. i'm a big fan of big loud drums so i can get what DJ Shinobi was saying, but you're the artist, so do what YOU like to to do!
Author's Response:
Thanks Gunshy! Yeah, I was thinking about the drums, and I might make them stronger, but that's the joy of being the musician: I get to choose how the music sounds. Thanks for the review!
