This is better that I expected, though I didn't know what TO expect. Very cool to hear vocals on one of my tracks, especially when they're not mine,(mine are pretty bad). I like how you used the title in the lyrics. Made me smile.
I dig it thoroughly. Definitely squashed, but you say that is your liking. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you bro- your review was the one i anticipated the most, i know its squashed and vocakls not too clear but just wanted to put it across though coz i liked it, glad you did too,MANY thanks bruv
ooh ... thx a lot for grabbing out this old track ... didn't listen to it myself for a while, but it still sounds quite good ... thx for reminding me some of my old work!!!
peace, rei
Glad to hear your opinion Evisma! I was having trouble making the vocals sit nicely in the track so I had to rearrange EQs on the vocals to make them sit better, might've removed some of the uniqueness from them in that regard. Thanks for the listen!
An odd and interesting reverb on the opening drums. They sound very different from the other elements. Being panned a bit to the left helps separate them.
There is/was a band called "Snot" that had a particular jazzy/ominous movement of music that they put sporadically throughout their best album, "Get Some". They have a fantastic song on it called "My Balls, Your Chin". Hilarious. They are a kind of rap/rock, and their singer died back in the day.
Hi MrEvan,
The drums are a loop: I usually don't use drum loops (anymore) since I find the EZDrum approach much more flexible. But this song was meant to be a "different thing".
I heard a couple of songs from "Get Some": these guys are crazy... maybe not my favorite type of music, but fun to hear.
Thanks!

Hey bro, always nice to hear your opinion and get some feedback. Yeah it needs some chord changes and maybe a change of tempo towards the halfway mark. Unfortunately this is one of the tracks I lost in my PC crash. I wish I had at least been able to access the effect settings on the guitars because I spent a lot of time working on guitar tone on this one. I need to be less lazy and save the tone settings as a custom tone. I just tend to want to just let the juices flow. I will be saving my settings from here on out though.
I appreciate you taking the time to give it a listen.
You get some decent sounding woodwind results. Mine usually sound like ass, though I believe they're sampled using strictly mouths.
Has a bit of the Star Wars Cantina feel. Good for a fight scene. First horns (trumpet section?) sounds a bit hokey, but the rest are pretty nice.
Question, if you can't trust an intern, why let him feed the shark? Seems like a job for someone you trust. Gordon may leave the gate open and then the shark would be loose in the neighborhood, knocking on doors, pretending to be a Candy-Gram. Damn land sharks.
The distortion you're using is an interesting one. Sounds like it has a bit of ring-modulator in it. Neat. I like the riff. I guess you're still working out where to go with it. Best of luck!
Killer guitar tone! I actually use the Line6 Bass-PODXT-Live for everything I do. Nice that you get all those sweet tones from the guitar version. Is it still working, do you still have it?
Vocals are awesome, a lot of character in the voice, and that is 99 percent of what I look for in a vocalist. Really special quality to the voice.
The music is very well done and the ending is a nice progression. The only issue I had was with the tone of the distorted guitar. Seemed detached from the rest of the music, like recorded in a different room.
Overall, awesome. I am impressed and will be following your stuff!
For stopping by and commenting on my track. I am afraid I do not hear what you are talking about with the guitar. The sound to me sounds good. Maybe I need to get my ears checked.
That comes with to much loud music.
Everything you say is kinda rude, but all your tracks are pretty interesting, so overall it's just kinda "meh".
The clap and the ride really carried you on this one. The rest sounds like "I Want Candy". Harness that clap and ride cymbal and it'll take you to the top.
Note to Gordon: Urinate in Bossman's coffee till he starts being more personable. He seems like he might be an intelligent and interesting dude if he wasn't so dismissive of genuine praise. And Gordon, quit sniffing the White-Out.
thanks man I know this song could much greater I don't have the instruments right now to play it or I would and it would sound awesome the guy playing the piano loops I really felt his music minor2go has some awesome loops easy t write to
I now have to ask, does the band see your trombone section as total idiots? XD As I'm in a high school band and marching band us trombones get no respect, but we don't care! I love low brass and trombone lets me play low but still do cool solos.
I had fun making this. I'm starting to learn virtual instruments so this is all loops. While it sounds like using loops is easy its not. You really have to get every thing to match.

Vocals are really good. Nice character to the voice, though not really unique.
V-drums or not, they sound pretty good. This was a pleasant listen. I'll be looking for your tracks in the future.

on Space and time by frenki
You have some very nice guitar tones going on here. There are some lead lines in the first half that have that singing, souring quality.
Second half is awesome. Dense guitars and all with some great tone. Reminded me a bit of Mastodon towards the ending.

Gotta say, the guitar tone you got here is pretty sweet.
Seemed like it needs some chord changes in the 2-4 minute range. You stay on the same kind of thing for a while. I do like what you're doing though.
I wish I could get your guitar tone.
Hope all is well with you!

I appreciate you taking the time to give it a listen.

on vile by FaithInSound
This is a good riff you have here, and it could be made into a lot more. The delay is fitting.
If you went into something else at 1:46, this would be more interesting, however I like the section before the outro. Wicked ending sound is alarming.
Amp feedback in the middle area is a bit odd, but this has great potential!

If I was to get my pick of the most fitting guitar player for what I do, it would be you. Tone mastery.
Shame there is nothing new from you in a few years. I understand life happens, but your music is really great.

It's the other way round: "I want Candy" sounds like Bo.

on MY DREAM COME TRUE by MetalEd
This one seems to have more feeling than some of your others. A bit dark and depressed. Some sad subject matter. Hope everything is alright with you.
As for any critique, this track needs guitars, but I like the power your words gave.
This one seems to have an "Embrace Life" vibe, so I dig it very much.
Take care.

on Red On The White by ValveDriver
The drums sound like they were played in a parking garage. Seem to have a good bit of reverb. I do like!
2:42 tone is trippy as hell. This one seems to show more real composing. I dig this deeply. Also reminds me a bit of late Rishloo, off Feathergun.
Favorited!
Evan
I dig the fact that it resembles Floyd, but at the same time, It does feel kind of like a ripoff. That wasn't my intent, but...
I did use a quite a bit of reverb on the drums. Actually, I used quite a bit on all of it, really.
I haven't heard of Feathergun. But given your musical tastes, I'm sure they're good, and I will definitely be looking into them.
Thanks for the kindness, brother.
Take care.
Aaron.
