[My Torment]

It was great

Ok, so I've listened to a few of your songs, and I've liked every one of them. I mean, you have talent, you have sick ass ideas and heavy, heavy riffs. In metal, that's what it's all about, right? It's awesome that these sound this good when you say your equipment isn't all that great.

The only thing missing is... I dunno how to say it. Dedication isn't the right word at all. Maybe... consistency... Regardless, all I'm saying is that I want to hear more of your music, but you don't release a lot of it. I'd love to see you pound out like 2,3,4,5 tracks sometime soon haha.

[Escape while Running]

love

I love your music Jurian, that's it. This was such a dynamic piece. I liked when the drums in the background kicked in, they of course added spice to the tune. I'm not too sure what you were trying to say with your title, but that doesn't make the song any less perfect. Tell me, where do you get your inspiration to play and make music? What drives you? And how do you make this music, does it come from your heart or do you just experiment until you come up with something that sounds good? I'm telling you man, this is top notch stuff, I can't believe how amazing it is. This is another song for the ol' Ipod :)

I'd like a response :P I'd really like to know about what i asked. This is just incredible work all around.

Again...

Bit of a change of pace from the work of yours that I'm used to listening to, but it's great. It's so fucking dynamic, you'd have to be an idiot to deny the mastery behind this piece. I loved how you just kept changing it up, always keeping the pace different; and that's what gripped me, that's what made me appreciate this. It's not exactly my style or taste (well, it is when I'm drinking and partying it up!), but who the hell am I to deny musical genius when it's staring me in the face?

I'm glad I'm taking the time to listen to your music. There's just some stuff you can't get from mainstream music. It's not really something anyone can put their finger on, but some music just loses that certain something when the artist makes it big. You're an excellent artist, don't let ANYTHING get in the way of you and your music. That would be a huge disappointment to any and all of your fans I'm sure.

WritersBlock responds:

Hey, wow. Thanks for the encouragement and support. I'm so glad to hear when my music is being appreciated like this. As always, I try to refine and improve on my music all the time, vary things up now and again, I'll try not to disappoint you in the future. ;D

[+Pandora's Dance+]

Excellent

My God, I loved this song. I haven't listened to all (or many for that matter) of your songs, but for all the ones I've listened to, I've really come to love them. You have an amazing style. You know how to lure a listener in and reward them with what they want to hear, beautiful music. I can honestly say I didn't find anything wrong with this piece. Even though it did sound like a buildup to something explosive, the song by no means disappointed me. I loved every second of it, and it's just another of your songs I'll be downloading and putting on to my Ipod :) Can you tell me which of your songs is your 100th submission? I'd really like to give that a listen and review :)

Keep making music, there's not a reason in the world for you to stop doing what you do best.

WritersBlock responds:

Thanks, man. It's always a big morale booster to hear support like this. My 100th submission is called "Factory". I love that you're putting the time and effort into listening to my music. Again, thank you.

[The Street Life]

You asked for it!

Good job here man. I got your PM! I like this track, it's really good stuff. I dunno if this is on the RRC request sheet yet, but since you asked for my review here it is.

Much the same review as I gave your sample here, except without the limit on score for it being a sample. It was the right vocals to use for your song here. Biggie's "Juicy" is fuckin' legendary! It was a good job you did on seperating his voice from the "Juicy" music track. My only question is, how?

I only have one criticism here my man. Aside from getting Biggie's voice on here, there wasn't too much that was unique about this. Like I said earlier, I love the piano and everything, but it's the same few notes throughout the entire song. That's the only reason I didn't give this a ten.

Overall, excellent track. You can PM me if you make more tracks, and I'll gladly slide you a review. In the meantime, you should review my flash! :P

AfroShine responds:

I got an instrumental of the song and inversed it over the normal track. So that only left me with his voice. Thanks for the criticism, it's important to furthering my abilities.

***4/2/08***
By the way, I've been having problems with my keyboard lately, so I wasn't able to make a second piano loop as planned. I figured I'd just finish this and get it out there, so I might update it when I get this problem fixed. I'm probably gunna call tech support this weekend.

[Wicked Spiral]

was ok.

I liked the abrupt start, I really did. But like Coop said, it did get really repetitive. I can't really say too much bad about this tune other than that. Repetiveness can yield 1 of 2 results; it can help, or it can hurt. In this song's case I think it was the latter. Good techno song all in all, but I think it just needs a little bit of work and touching up and it'll be pretty solid.

[The Street Life {sample}]

Sounds good

This is really good stuff. It sounds very good to me. I really loved the piano... That's easily one of my favorite instruments in any song. This mainly isn't a 10 only because it's a sample, and thus should be treated as such. I really appreciated how you made the music fade out at the end, instead of just coming to a screeching halt without warning, which I'm sure a lot of people hate.

Overall, good work, I'm looking forward to the finished product.

[Speedy Bass (Dubstep)]

Yeah

I haven't really got too much to say about this unfortunately. I enjoyed it, but I felt as if it did tend to get repetitive by song's end. I admire your bass skills. Now all you have to focus on is implementing those skills into even more music! Keep this up, and you'll have a really large fanbase :)

Jimbobsthebest responds:

Thanks for the review PicosGhost. I think the general consensus is that the bass sounds pretty heavy, but I need to make a song with it instead of out of it.

Thanks again, and I will be keeping this up. I just needed plenty of advice first ;)

[Cm JazzlyJam]

I dunno

I think I'm starting to get a biased view towards your submissions, haha! Because I've loved every single one that I've reviewed and I've given them all 9's or 10's. Even a simple piece of work such as this was made amazing with your skill and creativity. Excellent work here again my friend. 110 bpm isn't a bad count to be at! It's a pretty nice speed in my opinion. This, being one of your simpler submissions, I still consider really great because it packs quite a punch when you have your crazy piano skills in it.

I usually reserve the second paragraph of my reviews for complaints/ things I don't like, but I didn't dislike anything, keep at it!

Anything you submit, I wanna know about! Great great work again here, Jurian.

King of the piano!

Man Jurian... You really know how to throw that piano in at just the right moments to really escalate any track to greatness, don't you? Don't take that compliment lightly, that's really an amazing talent you have! Nice use of the guitar in the background too. That, combine with the piano, made this track great. Pleeaaaase keep up the work!
