[Extreme Hardcore]

\m/

It sounds nice, even though it is quite random from time to time. You should work a bit on the transitions between the single parts. Sometimes it is a bit cut off, which sounds pretty strange.

Thanks for your time :D And random is fun!!

[Leap of Faith {durn}]

\m/

It takes some time before the song really takes off. At first it's a nice drum track, but it's not that special. At 2:00 into the track it really starts for me. Now a nice melody starts and we have something else to listen to.

Too bad the nice melody stops so soon. Because even though the song is over 5 minutes long there isn't that much happening here.

[Tears of Remorse]

\m/

Whoa, so many emotions packed into 2 minutes. It's almost frightening.

Yes, this song is indeed VERY sad and one can feel that you put a lot of effort and heartblood into this.

Well, I found nothing to complain about, so... 5/5 and 10/10. :D

BlazingDragon responds:

Nothing to complain about? What kind of review is that?!...Nah, I'm just kidding. :P

I honestly didn't have to put much effort into this at all. It was one of the easiest songs I have ever written. I say this because it flowed so naturally from my heart; I had been feeling this remorse for some time, and to let it out...helped take a burden of my shoulders. For 45 minutes it simply flowed out effortlessly.

Thank you for the review sir!

[.:-{The Approaching Storm]

\m/

It's a great song and I like the story of it. Now I want to know: How ends the battle???

I can imagine this being part of a series of songs all based around the same theme. This song is the prelude to war, the next song would have the war itself as a theme, then maybe the next after that would deal with the family at home, etc. .

However, I missed a rise in "dramaticness" when the two armies where approaching each other. I think the background melody should have changed to something more dramatic towards the end.

BlazingDragon responds:

I love the idea of making this into a series! I've never written much war themed music, which would make it would be fun and challenging. I already have a few ideas running through my head. Perhaps Tamadrum and I could work something out. Thanks for the suggestion/idea.

I've never been good with climaxes. I am still trying to figure out how I can build to a satisfying climax and end on a bang! You'll probably notice that all of my songs lack a true high point.

Thank you for the review. It was very helpful! :D

[We Love You Jason]

\m/

It's a funny song. It can be clearly heard that this is improvised, but it's not a bad thing. Most of the time, improvised songs are funnier than planned songs, and this is also the case with this song.

The beginning is pretty funny with that slightly out of tune guitar and the repeated "We love you".

The "metal part" is quite good, too. But the guitar is a bit too quiet there.

KlanMaster911 responds:

Thanks dude.

And yeah..I tuned up the acoustic guitar a half a step.It only had five strings..And it hurt like a mother fucker to press on them.

[>Welcome to my Haunted House<]

\m/

I like the theme of this track a lot. It starts off very quiet and nice, when suddendly those high pitched notes come in at around 0:12.

The mean laughter also adds to the creepy atmosphere that you build up with the high pitched notes.

Some of the notes seem to be a bit dissonant, but then, we are about to become insane, right? So, those dissonant notes fit in perfectly here and add even more to the creepy atmosphere.

But, as Bezman already mentioned, the song is a bit too short. Right before the tension reaches it's climax, the song is already over.

DjCompass responds:

Hmm... if i get in the mood again, i'll extend this song ^^
Thanks for the review.

[Sad²]

\m/

The melody of the piano could be quite nice, if only it wouldn't sound so shrill. It's almost a bit overamplified.

Also, the drum beat and the melody don't seem to play the same timing or tempo, which sounds a bit odd in the beginning. But towards the end it does sound all right.

You should try and take away some effects from the piano to give it a better sound.

lol, i responded.

[EpicDnB_EnergyLoop]

\m/

It may be short, but it's a good track nonetheless. I like the melody and the drum pattern a lot.

Too bad that the echo of the last note is somewhat cut off, so that the loop isn't done 100% perfect (now it's only about 98% perfect. :P ).

[{dj-N} Not Alone (RMX)]

\m/

The intro irritated me a bit. I was thinking: "Are my speakers broken or is it meant to be that way?"
Ok, after a few seconds I guessed that this "tremolo melody" was meant to be that way. But I still don't like it.

When the other melodies set in, the song gets a lot better, but the misplaced fade outs (that you also mentioned in the description) are a bit annoying. So, I would like to hear that song again with better placed fade outs. ^^

[Forgotten Tears - Mjattie]

\m/

I like how this song slowly builds up. It starts with only the drums and then other instruments, melodies and even some "background noises" are added, slowly but steadily.
This makes the song very interesting to listen to.

I also liked that movearound 1:20, where only the piano plays the main melody.
But after that, not that much else happens, leaving me a bit unsatisfied.
Maybe a little break would be better here. A few tacts where only the piano plays and then bring back the other instruments.
