[p4c-nightlife [unfinished]]

WOW!!!

damn dude ..that was friggin great...yeah man it doesnt kick in till about 45 but damn ..when it kicks in it fuckin delivers.... you definatly gotta come up woith a bridge and an end for this ..its going too damn well to just leave as is.... i love the bassline especially and the epic sound at 45 and the computer blips...PM me when you have this one finished man.... but i would speed it up just another 5 BPM
5/5 10/10 favorited

[project 12 demo]

Not bad at all

The beginning is pretty solid..and the drums are friggin great when they come in...Very powerfull.. this would be great for an action game like madness or another walk around and kill things game. Although i think around 1:14 I kind of lost sight where it was going and i felt like there should have been a buildup to something harder along with a melody.... This has potential to be a solid ten if you add a lead line after a buildup and change around the drums a little more cause towards the end it doesn't sound like a beat but more of a series of pulses.. ,also i think you should make it so it sounds like a solid loop like near the end do another buildup into the beginning of the song.

I definitely like the use of rhythmic harmonies it works really well...

4/5 for potential
7/10

[Dying Robots Go To Hell]

That was great!!!

really panicky and interesting ...Completely original.. I like how the beat goes double time for a thrash electronica sound...good work
Definatly an appropriatte name for the song
5/5 9/10

[Face Goa--_--]

sweet!!

Love the synths and the structure of the song ...awsome job ... love the small rolls you do with the synth ..really makesthe song that much better.... chord progression is awesome and some great key changes at 55..didnt even realize it looped.

great job
5/5 9/10

[It Makes Me Feel Like A Snake]

Awesome

This is completely original and friggin zippy as hell...the music in the background is awesome..even the music by itself would be great. the voices are great.. a little funny and cartoonish sounding.. but still great singing and harmonizing ... you should definatly do more songs like this.
5/5 9/10

sssssssssssssssssss responds:

Thanks for the review!!!
There already are more The Sky Has Fallen songs. I haven't submitted them here yet, but I will after we get some more finished. We are doing this along side our live band (Kinstone) which is our main focus. I'll probably submit some of those eventually also- we are starting from scratch because I recently replaced the bass player. I also plan on submitting songs that I wrote with me singing and playing guitar that I might add some FL back beats to. The only problem is that I need to borrow our insane percussionist's (Jordan Hughes; also of Kinstone and TSHF) recording equipment as I am too poor to afford my own.

Really sweet

this is great man..the layers of music go together wonderfully and the drums sound great and the piano adds a great touch to everything. this really is a great piece i really hope someone uses this in a video game or movie..it would be great for a climax in the story line..one suggestion ...the guitar effect in the begining is a little trebly..thats all.
this song is great!!!!
5/5 10/10

Musical-Pants responds:

Thanks a lot!
I probably worked most on the piano, hard to get it to fit with everything, but the drums were a close second. The guitar was really the starting point, and sort of led off whenever the song changed.
Thank you for your thought.

[Salvare Ambition]

For what it is

For what is is i woud say pretty cool... this could be used in a flash about cuba..and i like the way you repeated some of the stuff he said to get the point across...there was a little static here and there that was hard to get through and understand what he was saying but all in all i think its a usefull submission and i would hope someone can use it in a flash.. personally i would add some more music to set the mood a little better...
4/5 8/10

Bezman responds:

More music? Fair point.

The static was included in the original recordings and I didn't want to start cleaning them up as it'd kinda be less genuine.

Thanks for the review, man.

[Zenad-Preparing For War]

This is very epically sad

This sound like the scene where the good guys in a battle are losing terribly and everything slows down through the eyes of a captain that has lost hope of winning the battle. looking at the dead around him and in the distance he sees his front lines being demolished by the evil army.
its a very sad an epic song..i thinkk you could have made it a little more powerfull.. like maybe adding some timpani rolls
awesome submission
4/5 9/10

Zenad responds:

yes this story could fit very well with the song, for some reason I did not think about timpani, which is why it is not in the song, though timpani is a very good suggestion.

[[AltS]- Find yourself]

Aquatic and cool

Awesome song.. it reminds me of something happeneing in the ocean. Like a little fish swimming though a wonderland of rhythmicly moving fish and rainbow coral.
Only thing is the pop snare you have seems a little off and a little too powerul and the bass you should definatly lower, it booms just a little too much and distorts the song.
i think with just a little mixing and EQing this song could be a 9 or 10
keep it up
4/5 8/10

alternativesolution responds:

Haha, I appreciate the imagery, that's what I was looking for :D
And the bass--I just fixed it, I didn't realize the boom until I tried hearing it from my speakers instead of my headphones. And I hear you on the distortion issue- that would be the savage clicking! Ah!
I really appreciate the critique and score, thanks :D

[Cluster Fuck (Rough)]

O.K.

The song doesnt have much movement, It doesnt really go much of anywhere. the acid bass and piano is a cool mix it does sound pretty good .. but you need to work on the structure of the song and your drum beat doesnt change at all .. i didnt hear one roll or transition. and somewhere in there the piano was off whith the beat for a second. .. You should get back to the drawing board with this one and make it sound like its name .. CLUSTER FUCK

2/5 5/10

AndWHEEEEE responds:

Thanks for the feedback. I really appriciate it. Yeah. It is off beat at some points thats why it says rough. I Just now started to change the drum beat up in my music.
