[Three Little Words by Id of Oz]

Good job here

I liked it for the most part! I kinda found it funny though, like something Eminem would have done when he was on his "funny" streak haha. Matching the words to flow with the beat seemed to be professionally done. It flowed nicely throughout the entire song.

The only thing I didn't really like was that one of the voices in this song sounded kind of creepy! Lol. And also the fact that it came to a very abrupt end. No fade out or softening or anything. Other than that, dynamite track here. Nicely done, keep having at it.

nice

I liked it. Seeing as how it was just a very short loop, I couldn't give it much more of a higher score than I did. I'm not really sure in what way, other than length, you can improve. You were aiming for that "dreamy" effect, and you certainly did achieve it. Another plus here is that this baby loops perfectly! Not nearly perfect, not almost perfect, but PERFECT! That has got to be hard to achieve, I've tried doing that once or twice and didn't come close to doing as good a job as you did. Nice work, I look forward to longer tracks!

Not bad

This wasn't too bad by any means. I liked how it started out quiet, then gradually, but surely, it built up to a crescendo! There was a nice variation of sounds throughout the entire song and that's a major plus when you're dealing with this genre of music.

The only things I really didn't like, were how it got somewhat repetitive with the background beat, even though the main sounds did vary. The other thing is at one part, it sounded a bit fuzzy, and that certainly threw me off a bit.

Overall, nice work. I know it's hard to make quality music these days.

Fun stuff

What a fun start. This song was really good. The guitar just sounded so awesome, I really got into it. Especially at 0:42, the buildup was great. This song really had it all, and I only have one complaint. It ended so abruptly, that was definitely the only bad part about this song. Congratulations on a great song, I encourage you to keep up the work and don't get out of music for a really long time :)

CyriltheWolf responds:

It has an abrupt end? Wow. That's the first I've ever had that said about this song! hahaha. Wow. Well regardless, I'm glad you liked it!

[Anger inside]

Good stuff man

After hearing your Dad n' Me submission, I deemed it neccessary to tackle some more of your music. I'm not the least bit disappointed here. Even in short bursts you have the ability to amaze huh? This song had it all man. Well almost all of it. But more on that in a second. It started off as a bad ass little riff, which is by no means bad, and then it progressed to something more. That's an amazing talent. It went from slow, to medium, then fast. I don't know how you accomplished all of this in a minute and three but all I can say is congratulations man. You've got some skill, don't let it go to waste! I just hope I can find one song of yours to put into a flash of mine, that would be awesome.

And now... why the 9? I'm sure you have it figured out by now right? Just because it was short, I couldn't give it a 10. Don't hate me :P

And there you have it, another long review haha.

DarKsidE555 responds:

Indeed, that would be cool as well and don't worry, I won't let waste. Infact I'm going to expand it even further and beyond. lol. ;)

Naa, glad you liked the tune man. Always nice to read when people enjoy my stuff. Thanks as well for another "long" review. :)

[==(Melting Snow)==]

This shows promise

This is a great song. From the introduction, I was hooked. I liked your description too, it makes you think. I really appreciated how it intensified as the song went on. I also really enjoyed how it "faded" away, if you will, instead of just coming to an abrupt end like most of the songs I'm used to listening to.

All in all, amazing job here my friend, I really got into this song. So many thoughts are running through my head now that I heard this :) If I could think of a way to put this into a flash, I definitely would. I don't know if it's my love for music or what, but congratulations on your FS from me! 10/10 5/5

[Dad 'n Me]

Excellent

I really liked it man. From the chainsaws to the laughing to the wonderfully played guitar. I saw nothing wrong with this song except that it had to end at some point! I can imagine so many things happening to this song, it's crazy. Imagination truly takes over when listening to this song and thinking about what could be happening. I'd love to put it in a flash of mine, but I'm not too sure it would fit into something sprite-related! Haha. Maybe it could have fit into the fight scene in my movie, but now we'll never know! I'm hoping I get the chance to use this one day. Once again, well done... expertly done at that. 1:50 and forward was my favorite part. Congrats on your FS! (Full Score)

DarKsidE555 responds:

A bigger review for a change! Noic!

Thanks for the praise man, glad you enjoyed the song! Yeah, everything has to end sooner or later as well as this song. Good thing you can loop it with the NG player. ;)

Good thing you can get a lot out of this one, there's a description as well which explains the song out of my personal view. Yeah, go on, just use it for something, that's why the song is here after all!

Anyways, thanks for the cool review dude!

[Everything Must End...]

Another hit!

This was good stuff mi amigo. I'm agreeing with the statement that this song does not need lyrics. Although I am a bit curious to see how it would sound.

I really liked the guitar... how did you learn to play guitar anyway? I'm just starting learning myself, but all I'm using are online lessons and stuff like that. I've only been at it since christmas time :P I'd like to know how to get better.

Anyway! I decided not to deduct for the computer generated instruments this time around. I think I was a bit unfair. These compositions undoubtedly take massive amounts of skill, and it really shows.

BTW, thanks for that welcome! haha.

Keep it up man, there's loads of skill to be used.

Xth responds:

About guitar playing: After, about 10 years of guitar playing, I can tell you this, it's all about practicing, no matter if you're alone or with a teacher. I started alone and I did for couple of years some lessons only to learn music theory (to understand actually what i'm playing). Right now I'm taking too some online lessons to improve my soloing.

About the song: This one is actually an old song on mine, which I re-recorded. I wrote it as an instrumental. Lyrics sound interesting but then I'll have to change everything. Also for me it has a certain meaning as it is.

Thanks for the review and for listening.

[~Final Countdown~]

Good stuff!

Expertly remixed. There's not much to be said about this that hasn't already been said, but damnit, I'm gonna say it anyway! Haha. If I remember the old version correctly, this version was sped up; and it made it sound so much better! I don't know much about remixing techniques, but I do know you friggin' nailed this song. I'd love to see and hear more of your work. Keep it up.

Yours,
'Ghost.

[When I Put My Glasses On.]

3 reviews? Damn.

Being a recent addition to the fan base of rock... maybe 3 years since i started listening to it, this song was great.

Don't be too steamed at me, it's not a ten because you had the computer do 2 instruments. It's not always a bad idea, but I'm usually not for the idea of "manufactured" sounds in rock.

I liked the middle of the song, the buildup, if you will. At 4:34/4:35, the guitar, to me, sounded exactly like a part of the riff from "Enter Sandman", which I'm sure you've heard of!

So, now you know why i gave you a 9. Not quite a FS (Full Score), but very damn close. If there was a 9.5, you would have it :) Great work, consider me a fan! 9/10 5/5

Xth responds:

LOL! Welcome to the Circle Of Rockers! (Choirs, hellfires rising etc) I know, i'm not a fan of computer generated instruments either, but I don't have space, time, resources, equipment, etc for drum playing and I can't play the piano-keyboards, so this is a necessary evil. At least I "write" these instruments on midi, instead of using samples, unless otherwise mentioned. Anyway thanks for the review and the score, check my other stuff too!
