[We Are Lost (full Vocals)]

Length is a big issue here.

Whatever production value here is masked by the fact the song is long for the sake of being long. It doesn't maintain interest, for me.

Vocals. Autotune is cool, sure, but gets old real quick. I also sure would have loved to hear more than the one line. Like, really. If I wasn't reviewing this, I'd be out just because of how long it takes to introduce new vocal content. Near the end when you did that harmony thing, that was kind of neat.

Some of your instrumental breaks seem unmotivated musically, and just add time to this song that is already a bit too long.

I would be interested in hearing a condensed, more 'to the point' version of this song. I think you've got a solid framework up, and if you cut out some of the extraneous instrumental bits where nothing new is happening, it'd be a more dynamic, interesting track.

The broken speak n spell feel at the end was interesting. I feel the conclusion could have been a bit stronger.

Well that's what I got.

statueofdiveo responds:

yeah... but its clubby

[New England Hardstyle]

Hmm.

I really like the leads here. This isn't a genre of music I really like much, but your melody is catchy and has a certain quality about it.

There's definite progression throughout the song while maintaining themes, and it's pretty enjoyable to listen to. The choirs add a nice touch.

Overall a solid track.

[Popalope-WishYouWereHere-]

Pretty slick

This is actually a pretty solid track. Nothing stands out as needing any significant improvement.

The instrumentals are all solid, I enjoy your singer's rendition of this song. The mixing is great, nothing stands too far forward or back in the mix.

All in all I would like to hear more stuff of this quality peekin through in the AP

Muesical-Pope responds:

Thanks a bunchh man :)
I hope I can continue to bring mixes as good as this one... but its a pretty high bar for myself.. This one turned out as well as paul and I could have hoped ^_^. A peice of pride for me.

[loop of awesome]

Well.

It doesn't loop.

The synth overpowers the percussion quite a bit. The percussion has a very unfortunate rhythm.

The synth obviously has no consideration for key. It's almost painful to listen to.

It's obvious this took three minutes to make. This is not anything resembling a useful contribution to the portal.

ya it does

[Wednesday (Run)]

Very nice

I really like this. I feel like it's missing a few things.

I kept wanting an acoustic guitar to kick in with some lively chord strumming and legato stuff.

I think it really could use some strong vocals.

The drums are good... the double kick feel in the faster portion of the song is pretty out of place.

Overall I like the atmosphere a lot and would love to hear a more finished version.

[SoD-Need For Speed]

Not so hot.

I opted to review this.

This is pretty.. not good. You've created an incredibly repetitive track. That's fine... except sometimes when you repeat the theme, it's with incredibly abrasive instruments.

I would strive for some greater melodic/musical variation. Variations on a four measure theme for two minutes get very, very boring. Changing the instrumentation doesn't really do much for me.

[Reinstated Revolutions]

Goofy.

I like the synth. It's very open and pleasurable.

The song itself is pretty predictable techno, but it's fun. The little breakdown at 0:42 was cool.

A slightly wider variety of percussion might serve this track.

dude23 responds:

A slightly wider variety of ANYTHING might serve this track.

[Candy Zoo]

Hah!

This sucker made me laugh. That's a good thing.

Production quality is excellent. Sounds like something that might show up professionally. I like the vocal style.

Song structure is solid and I love the whistle solo.

curriemaster responds:

Thanks for the review dude. There are a few things I would do differently if I were to reamke this from scratch but on the whole Im pretty pleased with it. GLad you enjoyed it and thanks for reviewing!
