[[TMM43] Heavy (?)]

one-line summary

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.

1...um...line?

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.

one line this...

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.

ONE-LINE THIS!

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.

[TMNT Metal/rock version]

I hate giving one line reviews

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.

[Halo Theme -(Metalized?)-]

Um... Hell yeah?

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.

[Hi-Phonic Rose Pedals]

sing a merry tune for the pineapple

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.

[can't stop me]

Hell yeah!

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.

yea its kinda hard to put that kind of stuff together but hey thanx for the review i got 2 new songs if u want to listen to them

[Dead Never Die]

Screw one line summary...

There's way too much to say about this song to sum it up in ONE LINE. Let's get started with the freaking awesome sample from Evil Dead. That right there was by itself a winner, then you got the music that comes in just after. Loved the music... when I could hear it. Sadly, I really had to strain to hear the music... maybe I'm deaf from all the metal, but the music clarity is pretty bad; which is something that I really care about. I loved it all, if not for the clarity of the music, which kinda had a very "washed out" sound. Other than that, it was great. While not a huge fan of the really deep vocals, they were done excellently. I'm not gonna penalize you for a difference in taste. They hit the tone well and feel very natural in the song, not forced or crammed in like some vocalists. Over all, great job, and I'll be looking forward to more, keep it up.

AngelsDontKill responds:

Wow, thanks! I am sorry about the clarity though. I am still struggling to master my recording techniques actually. As for the song, most of it was written randomly, but there actually are lyrics to it, not just grunting, haha. Thanks for the awesome review though, I really appreciate it! As for Evil Dead, it certainly does kick ass! I was surprised to see how much some people liked this, so there's a good chance I will be doing some similar works in the future. Thanks for checking it out man!

[Sesame Street (metalized)]

HELL YEAH!!! 5/5!

The guitar is freakin awesome. My only REAL complaint is that I wished it was longer, it feels like it just kinda fizzles out, but hey no big deal. Other than that, the song is top notch man, keep up what you're doing.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Thanks alot, man. Guaranteed to keep it up, bro!\m/
