[_-Dementia-_]

\m/ (--.--] \m/

Great rhythm and drum beat add a lot to the headbanging quality of this song. It had great grinding guitar (which I love), as well as some heavy, fast-paced drumming (another thing I love). This song was pretty menacing and kick ass, hope you end up adding in the bass and vocals; I can't see how this would be anything less than fuckin awesome when finished. Let me know if there is a way to eventually get the whole song. Keep it up!

5/5 & 10/10

SIDE RANT: I felt like I needed go start a fight just to be allowed to keep listening to this relentless metal-piece... but I was the only one around... so needless to say got my ass kicked.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

hahaha, thats funny shit, man. I don't know how long it will be before I get to it. My computer is being a bitch and my cubase and guitar rig are NOT co-operating! But I can mail you the whole song when it is done if you want, bro! Thanks for the awesome review, and....don't be so hard on yourself!! hahaha\m/

[_Destruction_]

Beyond impressive

So this song ruled hard... like really hard. I loved the rough grinding guitar in this song that DarksidE-555 added, it made it sound very aggressive, and your solo was kick ass. The drums were well executed as well, nothing off-timed here, and kept the energy of the song high. I would try and offer some sort of advice or criticism to aid you, but I don't have any. You are far beyond my skills as an artist. This is great work and a really frickin kick ass anthem!

speedmetalmessiah responds:

Wow, this is a great review. I also loved the rhythm Darkside played, that's what really made this tune. Also most likely what got it used in Knights Of Rock, after all a out of key solo doesn't make a song for a rhythm game, hahahahaha. Glad you liked the tune bro, and I'm really not that great. Trust me with a bit of reading, practice, and just a bit of obsession you could know everything I know and most likely more. Thanks for the review.

[BBQ Beefburgerman Theme2]

Strangely I laughed...

So here we go with another as close to perfect as you can get song... it's review time!

The song ruled, while it seemed a bit more laid back lyric-wise than the one on darkside555's page. I oddly enough laughed... I found the eating sounds at the end to be quite funny, I didn't see that coming (my strange humor). I think this song is just as good as the other.

The guitar was awesome, the vocals on this one were again great, and the drums were not overwhelming and were well timed. Great job with the vocals man, I loved it.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Yeah, definitely a fun tune to do. Thanks for the awesome compliments and votE!
Thanks to mcrawnchies for the idea on the vocals too! hahaha. *BEEELLLCCHHHH*

[BBQBEEFBURGERMAN Theme]

NO! WHY MUST IT END?!

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.

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.

TMM43 responds:

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.

[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/

[Ghostbusters!!]

sweet...

That was... cool, but fan of the ghostbusters as I am, this was really cool. I really enjoyed the instrumental style, and it has very good change-up, that doesn't leave you feeling empty handed. I also liked your own you little musical twists you put on the old theme, it really helps bring back the old song. Great job!

Well thank you very much! For more details check out the response above.^
