[- Tears Of Heaven - ( Lyrics )]

The rapper needs improvement

I think the rapper needs more power into his voice. Not volume; power, emotion, and intensity. The lyrics suggest anger, despair, mourning. I'd say the lyrics are good, but the rapper has to deliver the emotion.

it was 2 rappers.

[Seeing You Again]

Gotta agree with AzNpHoEnIx

Good calming track with mixing issues. Everything's at the center (or too close to the center); try panning (or panning more). It'll give a clearer definition of every instrument.

Bosa responds:

Will do.

[Oriental Sunrise]

Catchy

This song needs to be longer; have to agree with Rexmex-1825.

Other nitpicks:
- The strings are a little too loud. I'm guessing you should drop 2dBs from it.
- I think I'm hearing a horn somewhere. Add 1dB, just to make it come out.
- Try panning the strings to the left a little more, and the horn to the right.

Again, catchy piece. Good job! Hope my review would help.

TheAmateurAnimator responds:

Thanks.

Yup, you gotta finish this piece

Looks promising for a rough cut, but, to be honest, there were boring parts. Maybe it's because it's a rough cut.

Here's my take on this piece:
- To my taste, I'll get a drummer (or a drum machine; it works fine), a bass player, and a lead guitarist to yank the guitar, but not go wild, in the instrumental parts
- Get a backup vocalist that can sing an octave higher than the current vocalist in this piece
- No shouting/screaming, please

Hope this helps. :)

Thanks for the feed back.

Thanks for the help :)

[Love Is Over]

Work on your vocals

Everything starts somewhere. For starters, work on your vocals. Then, polish the tones; make sure you're hitting the right notes with your voice -- OFF-NOTES are very noticeable and will hurt your song.

If you intend to have an acoustic setup, it'll be nice to have a shaker, an acoustic bass guitar, and a second voice. Work your lead vocals, and the best of luck to you.

Gigawowski responds:

Thanks a lot man. I really appreciate the advice.

[Holy Space Monkeys!]

Needs variety/progression

But yeah, I agree with the first two guys who reviewed this track. Interesting intro. After the 13-second mark, I felt that everything went downhill.

Hmm... try cutting each progression in half. Hmm... try adding industrial drums (although that might not be your style).

Visit the mixer/EQ, too. The bass is too weak; doesn't carry the rest of track. I switched from my JBLs to my Sennheiser headset -- can't feel the bass pumping.

Keep the intro the way it is; it's perfect that way.

Hope this helps.

Between the two songs Ive posted, your the FIRST one to offer advice that is actually advice Does no one understand the concept of creative critisim anymore?

[Seperate Side-JTT]

Gotta hate 'em downvoters

For some reason, a good track like this is only getting 3 vote points from 4 votes (including 5 from me). It's just not right. This is an excellent track, hands down. Love the arrangement and progression. Easy listening for me; should belong to the FM radio.

starvingdude responds:

Downvoters just ruin the whole rating system, its stupid!!

Thanks for the info, maybe might get JTT to send in this track to a radio station when he has time (he did the drums for Corey Crowder's tour)

[Live Again]

Maybe NG doesn't like this genre at all... :(

It's a shame seeing a 3.87 vote score on this track (even after voting 5).

starvingdude responds:

Thats cause NG'ers only like rap/techno crap not the good music that takes a while to complete...

Im sure it'll get higher scores sooner or later...hopefully

[Vilify- "Destroying Enemies"]

Yeah

That's pretty heavy stuff you got there, even if I'm not a fan of heavy metal. This would complement an action-packed flash animation (just wait for it).

5 and 10.

haha Thanks
