[Atomic Amnesia]

Simple, Yet Amazing!

To me this song sounds unfinished, but to be honest, I really like that about it. It doesn't have any fancy lead, or crazy beat that really changes the tune or flow of the track. It gives it a somewhat unique sound and keeps me interested. It sounds like you just use a bass to tell the story and the lead that does come in is just there to help detail it, without taking over.

I usually think that a song with percussion has to have snare, but you have proven me wrong here. I really enjoyed this track, and I don't hear any snare or high hat at all. It's just a kick, and surprisingly, it actually sounds really good.

I can see this being used in a video or game, and I think it would work really well. I'm glad I found this track. Keep making stuff like this man!

Wow, thanks for the constructive feedback! Just out of interest, how did you get onto this page? Was it the 'Techno' tag? Compared to all of my other songs this one's got loads of listens and I don't know why.

But yeah, I'll try to make others with a similar theme. Grandma's Spaghetti is probably the closest thing to it so far.

Great!

Great sound. You really hit the "industrial" sound. A lot of industrial tries to cram rock influences in it, but I like how you use really dirty synths to give a nice dark feel. The percussion is awesome, and really fits the tone well. Nice work!

BudGPStudios responds:

Thanks, I tried to avoid that weird sounding stuff people call "industrial", but it actually sounds more like rock guitars with glitchy drums. I suppose I take "industrial" in the literal sense, meaning the song sounds like a factory.

[Sloth]

Nice

Nice! I love slower tempos and dirty sounding instruments. My only complaint is that the drums sound out of place. The other instruments are so grungy, but the drums sound to me like they haven't been equalized at all. In my opinion, they should have a mild taste of distortion, or something to give them a slight dirty feel to them, maybe even compressing them a lot.

The bass is sweet, but I think it could stand to be a little louder, and I don't like how it stopped at 1:14. I know this is a work in progress, just saying to leave the bass in when you finish it. I love the guitar work throughout. That's the kind of style I play around with when I'm jammin with my friends or just playing in my bedroom. Sounds awesome man! Keep it up!

SirDocALot responds:

Thanks!! Yeah, I agree with you 100%. I really don't like the drums much, it's just a loop that I had on my recording unit. I layed down the bass track then added the guitar and just got real into it, didn't wanna stop!!! But my band (Pro4Lyfe) is complete now, so we'll hopefully have some nice stuff coming soon.!!!

[Wanna Take An Overdose]

Nice

You could really benefit from drums on this song. They would really help add an extra umph I think this song needs. Your quality is a little rough, and you may need to look into some noise reduction software to take out that really loud fuzz sound in the background.

The guitar work is very good, but back to recording, you tend to clip a lot, which is not entirely pleasing to the ears. The vocals are okay, and I personally think they fit really well with the style you were going for. I really dig the style, and I like what you are aiming at.

Overall, I think you just have some production problems, but nothing too major. This is a great track. Keep it up!

[Sent - Cool Vibe]

Nice as always!

You should definitely take the time and turn this one into a full length song. I love that bass. The lead is a little weird, but I really like the vibe. It kind of sounds like a trumpet, or an electric version of an appropriate instrument for jazz. Great tune man! I had to download it.

[~DT~ Senior Class Rave]

Needs varitey

The intro is very nice and got me interested in the song. When the lead comes in, I was expecting a much more exciting melody. I was hoping the hit that comes in at 0:31 would have more structure then it did.

The rhythm is very nice, and the lead is cool, but after the first minute or so, it starts to feel like it's just dragging out. Finally at 1:26, there's a change I've been waiting for, but it just comes right back at 1:39. I was hoping that the change would have lasted longer then it did. Maybe even adding or removing instruments, along with playing with the melody a little more.

Again, another good change from the rest of the track at 2:21, and even though you bring the lead right back in, it doesn't feel quite as repetitive since you left the background sounds out. But they end up coming right back at 2:47. The outro is cool, and it ends the song very nicely.

The track is good, and the melody is catchy, but I would have really liked to hear some variety in the song.

DeatHTaX responds:

Unfortuneately, you are totally correct. the song does lack a bit of variety. If it weren't for the deadline i had i would have been able to do more with it. In the near future i will probably come back to this song and add to it. I DO however disagree with you on the issue of it not having that punch when it comes in. I personally feel that it's got a pretty decent energy when it comes in. But hey, that's the great thing, you can disagree with me and you don't have to face a firing squad...*sniff*...God bless America....

Thanks for your review. I am glad you liked it

[Sent - Ambient Orchestra]

Nice

Some sweet stuff dude! Like DoobyTimePiece said, it is a little short, but that's okay. It sounds like it's building up for something sweet. Great work man!

Sentinel responds:

Wow man, thanks for commenting once again - you rock.
Yeah, it's short - but I couldn't really find anywhere to take the tune.
Thanks!

[Gloombox]

Nice work!

The intro sounds like the background music on Adult Swim to me. The lead is sweet dude! It's got the 90's hip-hop lead feel to it. The drums are nice too. This is just a great track all around! It even loops well.

[Devil Theory]

Sweet

Good intro. It really grabbed my attention, and I love the drums that come it. They sound very realistic compared to the rest of the song, but they have a really nice punch that helps drive the song. Now at 1:01, the track is starting to get a little dull from being a little too repetitive.

I like the transition at 1:20. The guitar that comes in sounded a little week to me. The rest of the instruments are pounding and in your face, but the guitar tries to hide in the background.

The rest of the track is awesome, but does feel a little repetitive. I would love to hear vocals though. It would help it not sound so repetitive and boost the song a little.

Great track man. Keep up the good work!

Steak89 responds:

Glad you liked it. The repetition is something I always struggle with...

[Nerd Me Plox]

Well,

The first thing I noticed was that the drums don't fit at all. It's like a rap beat but the instruments are clearly leaning more towards techno. Sometimes it's possible to pull this off, but the rest of the loop has so little structure that it just doesn't fit.

The lead is okay, but becomes very boring very fast. It's way too repetitive. The other instruments that come in are okay, but they fall under the same problem. They could also benefit from some reverb and/or delay to kind of beef them up a little.

Keep working. You're on the right track.

XasitomaniX responds:

what part of the drums? the kick? the clap? the what? help me improve!!
