Harmonically Sound
I know this isn't everyone's genre, but luckily I'm a huge Dream Theatre fan, and to me this song is harmonically sound. The only criticism I can give is that it didn't variate in the way of chords. I would also like to hear perhaps a change in tempo at some point. You could also probably get away with lengthening it too, maybe adding a middle 8 section where the music completely changes (ideal place for increase in tempo).
Thanks for the feedback. You might like my "Short Guitar Improv". it's far from metal, but is musically much more advanced than this
Epic
There's so much going on, but it's not muddy or anything. I love the variation, it doesn't get dull at all. There's little criticism I can give, apart from perhaps a lack of melodies, but I'm not sure that's what you're going for. Oh, and seeing as I'm playing this through a sub-woofer, some deeper bass and focus on sub synth riffs would be awesome!
Well, I agree in all points of your criticism. When I uploaded it I thought maybe I´ll have to work on this again.
In my opinion it has some cool ideas in it but maybe I will upload this song again when I improved it.
Thanks for your review!
Well-Rounded
Despite meandering between only 3 chords, it works as a well-rounded song. Although there was variation surrounding the main musical ideas (particularly the 'right hand' work) I would've liked to see more variation as far as the music is concerned, not just the mix. Maybe a middle 8 or improvised section, but other than that, it's nice.
thx, yes i think it need more variation too
Epic name!
I've got to rate this simply based on the epic name: Toxic Cleopatra
Can I ask what the reasoning behind this name was?
It's an interesting song too, very edgy, but it still makes harmonic sense. Engaging throughout, so good job!
Thanks for the review! Instruments and my very silly cat inspired the title.
Euphonic
You've got a really nice drum sound, and I love that fact it variates, at the begging, unlike many similar songs. And the break before the synth comes in was quite a nice idea too, a juxtaposition from the brutal percussion intro. The rest of the song's pretty smooth and it often changes, which stops it getting dull. If I was to suggest something, I'd ask for a sort of 'middle 8' section, where EVERYTHING changes.
Cheers man, i was hoping it would work out. In ALL my songs i do, i always change it after something. I never keep the same thing going, cause like you said it does make it sound dull. I like to give you listeners something NEW, something BUZZING. And hmm, i will think about your suggestion. Cheers for the review man
Edgy!
I'd have to hear the original song first, to understand how much you've actually changed it, but I trust you have. As it sounds, it's pretty sweet, cut up nicely, and the texture's nicely thick. Although some of the cutting is a little too edgy at points, good job!
Cheers man, first song i actually used on my new program. Was just a tester i suppose. Cheers for the review
Cheery
Quite a full sound for one instrument. Although there is variation, for me there isn't enough, I want to hear more! Maybe some melodies as well. Extremely 'major' and so very cheery, brightened my day a little if I'm honest.
thanks I'll try to improve it. Im glad it brightened your day.
Smooth
Flicking through new audio entries, this is the first thing that I actually liked. Anything other than another ambient dance track is good for me. Still lacks texture, and goes a bit random at points, otherwise good.
i'm glad you liked it (must have not liked it that much to give it a 5 though :/). as far as texturing goes i wanted it to have that 4 person band feel rather than something that is overly produced
