Synth Twist v.3

"Not too good"

submission: Synth Twist v.3
date: June 2, 2008

It was still very repetitive, even though you used different sound effects the same notes still played the whole way through. It had a good beat which wasn't too bad but very repetitive, got boring real easily. Plus, the whole tune was a bit too... noisy. I know this is an old song but hey, still gotta review it.

Cheers,

Trident (Tika)

"Awesome"

submission: Trident (Tika)
date: June 2, 2008

Nice work here. Very enjoyable tune and wasn't too repetitive. Kudos. I loved the parts - 3:24 - 3:27 is one of the times it played. Loved that part. Great work here, not much else I can say but added to favourites.

"Nice"

date: June 2, 2008

I really enjoyed the piano playing in this but one fatal problem in this song: the beat was terrible. A good beat is a fatal part in a song like this... sometimes they take a while to get correct but you need to make sure it sounds good before submitting. That's the only thing that I didn't enjoy in this song but it ruined the whole song by it. It was also very repetitive but hey, join the club!

Lingering Hope (dreamy mix)

"Repetitive"

date: June 2, 2008

Has a nice tune to it but it's too repetitive... having a faster drum beat come a long time later doesn't change the results of the repetitiveness of it. It really needed a chorus. I think the first beat it had would have gone well with the first verse, and after the chorus (which you'd have to make), the second, faster beat would've gone well with the second verse then you could've done whatever you want like adding a chorus, a bridge or whatever. Overall, nice tune but needs a lot more.

"Quality's bad"

submission: Funny Business
date: June 2, 2008

You really gotta fix the quality. Get better recording stuff for the instruments and vocals... please. The guitar sounded out of tune at parts.

something im working on

"Cool"

date: June 2, 2008

Not bad for a work in progress. It has a french cheesy feel to it lol. It was annoying when the drums got quicker but then it didn't burst into something mega. Make sure that happens in the finished version and don't have it happen more than once before breaking into the chorus. I hate it in songs when they do that. It's like "Here it comes! Here it comes..! Awwwww...." lol. Good luck on this... and if you've already finished the version, which song is it? lol

Re-X2-Cover: Stars Go Blue

"Pretty boring"

date: June 2, 2008

The vocals were good and the guitar playing was good but WAY too repetitive and got boring real easy. It needed a chorus different to the verse to make it more interesting. Because of the vocals I'm not giving you a score under 5. Good luck on your future projects.

Author's Response:

Hm thanks much for your honesty, and the compliments on the vocals (that honestly surprised me) but I do hope you realize that it's just a cover, the real version (minus the solos) only uses those 4 chords in the same order.

First Techno Song

"Not bad"

submission: First Techno Song
date: June 2, 2008

I don't see why everyone is complaining so much about this. True, it isn't a great song but it wasn't too bad. I liked the tune you had and the beat, as basic as it was, sounded ok with it. The part where it had the sessions with claps playing fast as hell sounded absolutely horrible. Nice finish to it. Overall, a good song for your first.

Massive Attack

"Drums and bass?"

submission: Massive Attack
date: June 1, 2008

That's it? That's not rock! There's no guitar... not hard rock at all. And put aside that it has the wrong description and is in the wrong genre, the song wasn't very good. Very boring loop. Add more and try harder next time and you'll get a good result. Don't submit every little sound you make to NG, put effort into making something good.

The Wrath[NG Ver Loop]

"Not good"

date: June 1, 2008

Nah, not good. More like noise than like music. You also need a drum beat. If you had a beat and removed that annoying constant sound it might've sounded ok. Not into it.
