[{B.A.B} Burning Misery]

Great song!

But it didn't bring a feel of misery.
What i felt when i listened to this song was adrenaline pumping through my blood!
The piano section was a good idea, but had to be a bit more chaotic.
Yeah, this sure is a great song.
The way i would describe it is organised chaos. And you're really good if you can make a song like that, in my opinion.
Anyway, there's going to be a lot of 5 bombing from me :D

blackattackbitch responds:

Organized chaos, lol oxymoron, but it fits though

I guess I got the "burning" part of it then lol.

Nah you don't have to 5bomb it cuz I'll be doing plenty of that myself lol.

I wish I would have though of a chaotic piano section when I finished this song yesterday, but I was rushing through it and quickly running out of ideas.

Thanks for the review man, peace >8^D crazy faic

[Oki The Giant Green Bear]

I love it!!! :D :D :D

To be honest, i wasn't impressed when the song started, but slowly i started to like it more and more.
I really like the drums and the progression of them. The drums really make the difference in this song.
You know what i would like to see? A flash movie with Oki and this music playing in the background.
Also, this song is perfect to put vocals on. Heck, this song is almost good for everything!
You did a very great job making this.
It's going to be in my favourites! :D

Marks-a-lot responds:

I would like to see a flash with Oki in it too! I don't like the way it starts out nor the way it ends but everything in between is butter and babies! Thanks for the review.

[{B.A.B} Bloodstained Soil]

Hell yeah!

I don't even remember how the previous version sounded, but it's improved alot!
What i really like is the build up to that very fast and awesome part of the song at 1:15.
Hey wait a minute, that's the whole song :P
I remember that i said in a review on the previous version that it needed more power. And this song has power!
The only thing weird is that long silence at the end :P
Conclusion:
An awesome song with power, well chosen instruments and addictiveness.
Addictiveness?
Yes, addictiveness.
Great job and keep it up!
5/5

blackattackbitch responds:

Addictiveness lol.

You liked the last section? I actually didn't like that section too much. I was thinking of completely replacing it. But I may incorporate parts of it into the replacement now.

The silence is the fault of some of the soundfonts. Some of them don't cut off immediately and register as making sound way after they're completely silent.

Glad you think it has power, that means I did the right thing.

Thanks a lot for this review, I still got tons of work to do on this song and I need as much input as I can get.

[-:YRX:-YouriX-BlueCastle]

Cool!

The only thing is that the beginning is a bit out of tune. Or was it intentional?
The rest of the song is just awesome!
I hope this will get used in a flash, because i think it would really fit in one.
Keep it up!

YouriX responds:

Yeah i thought it would be great to have an 8-bit intro to show how it would sound in in 8-bit form. and yes i hope it gets used in a flash!
thanks for the comment

[Iced Tea Baby! {^}-{alix1}-{^}]

Funky

This is definatly better than your other song, the one with the poem.
I don't like that part at 2:13 though.
But i think this could definatly be played in a club.
Good job!

alix1 responds:

the part at 2:13:
I just got bored and decided to mix it up a bit.

Thanks for the review man!

[Einsamer Soldat{^}-{Alix1}-{^}]

Erhm

The beginning is very nice.
But after the intro you hear that low piano note sequence the whole time and that gets so boring.
It's not bad sometimes to use the same sequence over and over, but it shouldn't be the main instrument.
That tone is just too heavy.
I'll go check some other stuff of you, because i want to know if you can do better and i have the feeling that you can.

alix1 responds:

Thanks for the review. It turned out differently than i planned. the repetive piano was supposed to fad out to the background after the intro but i dont know what happened.

[Enter: Physco-Pickle (theme)]

Nice

Nice song!
A bit short, but that's because it's a loop i guess :P
The drums are really cool and the Funky Bass too.
Good job on this one!
9/10
4/5

Marks-a-lot responds:

yea, I like these drums a lot!

[{B.A.B.} Ready for War...]

Pretty good

I like the intro with the harp and that that trombone(?) comes in. That's a pretty cool start.
Then at 0:16 the song gets in a new section, but i do think it needs a lot more power. Heavier drums and a low horn maybe? Just a suggestion :P
The choir that comes in at 0:52 is perfectly timed and fits good with the rest of the instruments.
Also i think that the ending is too abrupt.

That are some some good and less good (not bad) points in the song.
Overall, my score is a
9/10
5/5
MH16

blackattackbitch responds:

Thanks man, I'm actually in the process of reorchestrating this whole section. And the ending was a bit abrupt because I want to add a "war" section to it. What you heard was just the march.

Oh and those were french horns, not a trombone lulz. The trombone comes in later in the song actually.

I'm thinking of replacing the general brass stacs with a tuba. And I do need heavier drums, these things are weeeeeaaaaak!

Thanks for the review man, always good to see your reviews.

[{B. Attack} Souls of Steel WIP]

Huh?

I thought i already wrote a review :P
Anyway, this song has very much potential.
The things i don't like are the beginning (from 00:39 it's really nice) and that part at 1:14 sounds out of tune sometimes.
So there needs to be some changes to this song, but overall it's very good. And i really like the drums!

Normally i don't rate WIP songs, but because you've been zerobombed i'll vote 5

blackattackbitch responds:

Thanks man, that really helps me figure out what should be changed. I tried to go with a really complicated chord/melody mix and some really drastic chord/scale changes. In addition, I tried to eliminate the basic 4/4 or 6/4 structure of a song. It was pretty much inspired by what I heard when I was recomposing that song from FF8. Furthermore, I wanted to get away from the limits of normal 3 note chords and throw significant variation in there.

Thanks for the feedback, it was especially important for this song. I'm gonna seek some more opinion on this song and then decide where to go from there because I may just scrap it and do another song using the same principles I experimented with in this song. In fact, as I type this, that sounds like a better and better idea.
