This was pretty awesome. I don't really have much to say other than, it was fairly perfect. Just can't bring myself to call anything perfect... not sure there is such a thing. ANYWAYS, the guitar was sweet, the vocals (by bad-man) ruled, and the drums were not over-bearing and well timed. If I ever was to say there was a song that was so close to perfect you wouldn't be able to tell it wasn't... I would say it is this song. Great job.

"blah blah one line blah blah read review"
This song was awesome, I was especially grateful and nervous when you asked me to add guitar to be quite honest. I loved the synth melody, and the guitar solo. You melded them together so seemlessly it appears like it was no effort (which I'm sure was not the case). I also have to comment on the drums, which were once again well on the mark. They didn't overwhelm the song, and didn't seem like they were just treated with a passing, instead they complimented it nicely. I really enjoyed this song, and hope you will enjoy the guitar mix. Thanks for the chance, and the great song.

Don't get jealous or mad but writing for me is almost seemless lol. I get an idea in my head, i start to go with it, I make an intro, it goes into another song, then I tear out the intro and make a whole new song from scratch and improvise the whole thing. I say to myself, "I wanna hear this chord in this synth or this synth for this solo" etc. You get the idea. Anyways, thanks for taking a shot at this. I really liked the guitar mix!
Peace!

Huh... not sure its DNB but then I think you already got that message from the last 3... and it seems they all think it's 3 different types of music. Music's opinion... screw classifying.
Rant aside, This was a good song. I liked the beat, and could tap my foot to it. I think it's got some good rythm, and I personally like the kick, I don't like music that is complacent in being the same. If you are willing to do something and tweak your music so it stands out a bit, its worth its weight in gold. Standardization and Classification are the death of art. Great song.

Soulmasking, thanks for your reivew. I appreciate it!
I'm glad this song got you dancing. I aim to please! xD
I am remaking/remixing this song right now. It's going to be a long process, because I'm making other songs. I will take your thoughts into consideration when I'm re-making this. Thanks alot.

Okay, so you used the rice sound again, that's fine. It didn't bug me as much on the last song as it does on this one though. This one seems fairly repetative, and I didn't really like it as much. That's just my opinion though so doesn't mean it's not good music... just means it's not my kind of music. It's obvious though that you tried something different with this, so I give you credit there. I hope you don't go and change anything based on my opinion, I'll continue to check out your stuff regardless. Keep it up.

Cool the remix. While I still prefer the original I did enjoy hearing the new take on it. I wasn't a big fan of the rice inside a cup shaking sound (forgot what instrument that actually was). However, I will give you credit for adding something different to the melody and working it all together fairly nicely. Overall though, Good job.

First, song was awesome. I loved every second of it. The synth worked well, and I really liked the drums (hence why It's in the limelight in my own music). I have to say, like always, the thing I didn't like was that it ended. IF only it could have lasted forever. I liked how you threw in the static grind "thundering" sound for the end. GREAT work. Looking forward for more.

K so this song could use some improvement, everythings a bit off. Although frankly while searching for metalized and/or rock versions of the classic turltes theme you are the closet to having it right. It's very sad that NG has such a sever lack of metal turtles. Anyways, I'm not entirely sure what you were going for, whether you did this on purpose, or you are new to playing music, or if you didn't practice enough, but it just didn't work. You have a good start, and I'd suggest just putting a bit more practice and time into it (if you aren't messing around that is). Overall I'd say try to synchronize your music a bit more, and good try. I hope to see what you can do in the future, good luck.

I've noticed that when I hear a song I really enjoy on here, I end up wishing it would never end. Sadly they all do at some time. THIS song is one of those few songs. Fan of Halo as I am, this was a great reproduction of the theme. I originally thought that "metalizing" the halo theme was either A. Pointless, or B. Would end badly; You have proven me wrong, and I don't mind. You managed to actually make the theme feel like it was actually more metal than it already was. Generally you see themes like Zelda being remade, which makes sense since the theme features no Metal-esc instruments, which Halo does. I normally really go for music with heavy drumming, like Fear Factory, but this songs Guitar was by far the crunchiest, and grittiest guitar I have heard in a long time. Really made it feel like there was a sense of urgency, menace, and most importantly, ASS-KICKERY. Which is hard to get. Great Job.

Ignore the one-line summary, it is just there to fill the space.
'K, NOW to the song. The song is really good. I loved the beginning, especially the drums, and then later, near the end, the heavy synth or bass (sorry couldn't tell). Overall my only complaint is that it felt short. I'd lengthen it a bit, it was like getting a short taste of an amazing song. I also appreciate the different stance you took on the traditional song, NOT a huge trance fan, so I can't say that this is unique as a trance song (I don't have enough experience in it). However, I can say that based on what I do know about music, this is a great song. While the static at the end seemed odd, it felt appropriate that the song end in a manner unexected due to the presentation of it. I enjoyed this song and hope to hear more.

This song was awesome. I enjoyed the variations in the music, it kept the beat from getting old. Another great thing about this song is that it's easy to just sit back and listen to the beat. Don't normally listen to this style of music so I can't criticize, but hey, it got my attention. Overall great song.
