[Not so Simple]

\m/

Nice beat in the background and two guitars that play some nice melodies. So it's a nice song :D .

But you should add something more to it. A better drum track and definetly a bassline, this would make the song so much better. Right now it sounds like a good intro, but when it comes to the point where the song could finally start, it's already over... :/

[(_RGH_) Climate Loop(Remix)]

\m/

I have no idea from which of your songs this loop is from as this is just the second submission from you that I listened to :P .

However, the beats and effects in here are very nice and even though it's just 30 seconds long you managed to add a lot of different sounds to it, thus making the loop very diversified.
When the 30 seconds are over I always think that the song lasted much longer than just a few seconds, heh.
Good job!

You can always liten to more

[(_RGH_) Soul Drain (Robotrip)]

\m/

It's a nice beat with a nice main beat.

I think it could be best used in a puzzle game, because this feel quite relaxing. But the problem with this loop is that it is rather short so that little to no variations are "provided" in the song.

Maybe you can make this a bit longer and add some more parts to it.

Yay review request club!!

I could extend this fairly easily

[Vilify - victims]

\m/

In the beginning it sounded a bit like SOAD, heh. But it got more unique once the double base set in.

The song is really great and I am amazed by the great guitars here. Also the varity of this song is quite outstanding. Many riffs and many breaks in here. Doesn't get boring even after 5 minutes :) .

The quality of the sound is great, except for the a bit weak sounding drums. But I think getting a good drum sound is the hardest thing to do when recording a song.

thanks a ton for the fucking awesome review!!!! stay metal bro \m/

[Kingdom Of Fire]

\m/

I'm glad you PM'd me about this song, or else I would have missed it.

I listened again to Creeping-Dan's song and now to this one. The vocals sure add a nice touch to the song and I think the lyrics are very good.

The singing is done good too, even though the reverb effect is kinda disturbing here.

Too bad you only had the MP3 to work with, because now most of the basses of this song are lost. But I know what you mean by saying the bass drum is way too loud in the original song. Well, because it is ;) .

Anyways, this is a good song and it's even better with the vocals. Now all we need is some more bass! :)

TwilightNecrosis responds:

Thanks for the review, man, I thought you'd like it.
I like the lyrics, too. I consider them the best I've ever written.
Is the reverb disturbing in a bad way, or a good way?
And about the bass, or lack thereof...I think I'm gonna try to pick out enough of the song to do a bass line and throw that in there too, because I hadn't realized how fizzy it sounds.
So keep on watch for the update.
Metal forever!
PS What did you think of the guitar solos?

[John Paul Jones]

\m/

Haha, this is really funny. This helium voice just makes me laugh :D .

The sound quality is rather low (maybe due to the shitty mic), but it's definetly a very funny track. I think Led Zep would be proud if they knew of this track ^^.

I doubt it, but thanks.

[Ignorance p2]

\m/

Another very interesting and "psychotic" track from you.

I like the strange noises combined with the repeated "It's all right". Kinda reminds me of Radiohead's "How to disappear completely", where Thom repeats "I'm not here, this isn't happening" over and over again, just that this seems to be from an opposite point of view. Yes, it IS happening, but everything is fine... and if I keep saying this to me, I might acuallty believe it.

LenardNotLenny responds:

Wow, thanks a lot for taking the time to review my stuff. This song is sort of a hazey little thing. And that's exactly the mood I was going for. After your comments, I think I'm actually going to redo the vocals on this. Cause it does have some potential, but the vocals need some structure, plus, I kind of had a cold when I recorded em...

[Busted]

\m/

This sounds very interesting. Shows that one can create interesting sounds even with broken equipment ^^.

I definetly can imagine this being used in a flash. It just have to be some kind of "psychotic" flash based on the style of games like Silent Hill or movies like Eraserhead.

LenardNotLenny responds:

Yeah, it turned out a bit like a really fucked up, dirty Aphex Twin.

[Why the Night p8]

\m/

The song starts of very nicely with that drums. They have a very good beat.

The guitar is quite overamplyfied and because of that the vocals sound a bit unclean, too. So you definatly have to work on the sound quality. I can imagine that it's very hard to get good quality in sound, but I think it's definetly worth it.

I really like the song as of now, the beat is good, the guitar is played quite well and I just like your voice. It's a very characteristic voice and that makes your song easy to distinguish from all the other songs here in the audio portal.
But I would like the song even better with better sound quality ;) .

LenardNotLenny responds:

Yeah, I can get a nice quality, but not that great. And I'm all in Garageband, due to lack of funds to get a better program, and its hard to get a nice distortion on there. The main problem with my guitar is that throughout all my stuff, I'm using an acoustic guitar. Because, I don't have a cord to get my electric to the comp, and without a chord, the electric sounds like shit. So, until I get that cord, my guitar shall forever have better-than-possible quality.

Whew. That was a long winded explanation...
