[EarthBound - Hospital]

Nice

Nice, enjoyable tune, good beat - nothing was wrong and sounded bad in this song! Great work!

[P - G w [JAY-SON-NAIR]]

Nah...

Just sound effects replaying again and again and AGAIN. It wasn't even music. Cool effects though but were irritating. Pretty bad song, was way too repetitive with that stupid noise. But I guess you weren't aiming for "music" because of your comments... still, bleh.

[TheComet-Nothing You Can Do]

Kewl

Cool stuff you made here. After a weeks work, well done! It sounded like an arcade game with those lazer guns from the second minute of the song. Awesome beat, cool tune and great work!

[Styrus PHUN! (Hardcor-ish)]

Cool drums

Sick drums here! The bass went well with it too. Short, sick loop. Did you sequence/program the drums or actually play them with a drumkit?

[Trident (Tika)]

Awesome

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

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

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.

[Funny Business]

Quality's bad

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

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

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.

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.
