[Aster - Euphoria, Fictional Happiness]

Favorite part is at 2:21. Good beats and instrumentals. Mix isn't perfect but passable, the bass drum is overpowering at times. I like the atmospheric breakdowns as well. Well, who am I to ruin your perfect score? 4.5/5 but I'll round up

Aster responds:

It took you 4 months wow.

Nice! Love the synthwave-ish vibe. The instrumentals sound great, I can just hear some issues with the mix. Maybe a little muddy and overcompressed. I was a little underwhelmed by the variety in the song though. It would have been nice to hear some more going on. Good beat though, and good synths.

[18th Century Industrial Overseer]

very whimsical harpsichord-ish sound. The beat is simple, yet maintains the whimsy. Nothing too crazy to say here, it's very minimalist and it's short. Maybe a bit too simple. That's my verdict.

[EI]

That's a crushing bass. Ok so cinematic....It would have been nice to give us a little description of the scenery you're trying to paint here. Synths aren't bad. It sounds like some kind of robot factory. I don't know that it was very necessary to make this song 7 minutes long. This one is kind of hard to critique because I don't know what you are trying to achieve. A lot of it seems meandering. Next time please add a description so at least I have something to measure (planned impact vs achieved impact). Some music speaks for itself but in the case of this I would say a description is absolutely necessary, or at least a descriptive title.

[Depressing Space]

Sounds out of key from gate. I don't know if that's intentional, but it's a little rough on the ears. I don't really feel the depressing vibe, more like an "I feel sick" vibe. Just so happens I'm battling nausea as I review this song. I'm sorry but I just can't get into this one.

BlueTuxedo responds:

Oh, I thought this thread was dead! Well, this is one of my oldest songs so it's not the best. But overtime I have improved! My newest songs sound much better.

[|23| Surfin' the Net in Incognito]

LOL on your tags. I kind of like the simple intro, has a lo-fi retro vibe. Mix sounds a bit muddy when the drums come in, like too much low-end. It needs to sound crisper. I do like the simple melodies though and the synths are nice. After awhile it does get a tad repetitive. Ending is ok, bass reminds me of sound blaster from the 80's. Like I'm playing a sierra point and click. Overall not bad but a little repetitive.

[Real-artist]

OK. You've got a good rap voice. I really love the chill melody and beat. Great vibes here. How did you not get scouted? Oh I checked your profile. I would scout you but you need to gain more cred first. You've only got one post here at NG and it's in my thread. Sorry dude. Hang around the forums, review others, make friends and if nobody else scouts you I will. Your song though, aces.

MICOnTheMIC responds:

Hey man sorry I didn't get back to you sooner but like you said my online presence isn't very significant at the moment. I haven't been able to focus on music as much as I'd like to and didn't expect so see a comment like this one. My buddy actually told me I had a comment on my channel. He was the one who recommended I post it here, so he ends up checking it more than I do.
With the apology out of the way thanks a lot for listening to my song and for the stellar comment, I am flattered. I also have 3 more finished songs I haven't posted here, if you're interested. After this comment I might just post them.

[Rogue Angels]

Wow, the intro synth is beautiful. I love the drum beat. Bass is really cool. 1:46 seems like a different song altogether, transition is a little nonexistent. I hear some new synths when it goes back to the main. Everything here sounds tight. Not too sure I like the lead synth much but it's just my personal taste. Really like the rhythms that come in towards the end. Ending could have been stretched another bar but otherwise good work.

Drakensson responds:

Thank you Glenn. Always nice to hear your usual analytical and detailed feedback.
Much appreciated. Sorry for my late response

[Owl Horns - An Egg Hatching On A War]

I like the mood the beginning sets. The second instrument is nice. When the horns come in to bring it all together it really thrives. But it ends so soon? Seems like an intro to something more grand. Overall I like the melodies, it sounds like it was played rather than sequenced am I correct? Nice job. Just want to hear more.

FanGuy26 responds:

Thanks Cyan. Really appreciate it. And yes I might do more instrumentals like this, also soon adding some guitar noises and string plucks. HUGE THANKS AGAIN.

[Consciousness]

ahh the finale. I'm really liking how chill this sounds, nice drums too. Again one synth (the lead) is very loud and stands out too much. but composition-wise this is great and a worthy closing to your album.

GlaceonDash responds:

Yeowch! Oh well, I'll keep that in note for my next project.
