[C.v.sTheAbstract-Guitar Chord]

HOLY CRAP!!!

I listened to this song & I was like "Wow, this song is on the list of like, a million fives on the hip hop list, but actually deserves the 5. He must make some good music." I checked your profile & I was like "HOLY CRAP, his 1st song?!?!"

Dude, for a 1st song this is pretty good. A rap would make this even better. I think this should be in the Hip Hop - Oldskool section, but whatever floats your boat, which you can still change genres if you want.

It did get a little repetitive, but it was good listenin'. When you sampled it, did you make the beat yourself?? Cuz if you did, great job on that, especially with variety to it.

That guitar was very good. Usually I'm not really a guitar hip hop kinda person, unless it's funk/disco or oldskool, but this one was like a good combination of rock & oldskool guitar, which I'm not to much of a rock fan, so good job on that.

I love that bassline playin'. That funky bass line guitar that plays & gives some songs it's taste is what I like to hear. I normally don't hear funky bass guitar in songs anymore so I'm glad that was in this sampled version.

Overall, good song & I'll be checkin' to see if you get any new songs anytime soon!!! Check out my stuff, I do a large variety so I think you'd like them :)

[Reason Feat. Victory WIP]

Pretty cool!

It's been a long time since I've reviewed one of your songs. I did enjoy this song, even for just bein' a WIP. This is pretty different & what I mean by that is the wobble bass, which is still pretty good. I do have a couple suggestions though.

1, that drop was kinda like weak sauce. The pop-up of the song was awesome, but the drop was too weak which made a cheap execution.

2, raise them vocals or lower the actual song volume cuz the vocals are hear-able, but the song is so loud itself that it's either I can't hear the singin' or I just can't understand him. Victory has some good vocals in there too, just raise them up or tune down everything else. I do understand your changin' the harsh mids, but I still think the vocals must be raised either way.

Those are just my 2 main issues there. My small issue is that it gets a little repetitive since you added everything & then there's nothin' else added later, but then again the variety was great in this song.

Maybe more variety with the vocals, beat, & more lyrics, but the wobble bass & 8-Bit was great. The only thing I would suggest for the wobble bass is just less harsh & more wubs, but then again I wouldn't know how that would go so this might just be good.

Good Job on this & I'm curious to hear the finished version.
7/10 & 4/5

joshlul responds:

I love your reviews, you don't half-ass them.

1, really? hmm I guess I can work on that

2, that was actually on my list of things to do

and yeah variety will happen later, I'm dragging it on, cause my songs always end up being too short.

[|-\Victory/-|]

Nice, collab was great idea!!!

I actually like this way better. I mean the beat was friken awesome, the original stuff, the break with the strings was a great addition with the perfect ammount of reverb, nice 808 drop there after the snare roll, & awesome synth added in there with the song at the end. I feel that this was truly a good experience for you 2 since the song went perfect! Great job again, glad I could hear this on my B-Day!!!

Thanks man!
Awww Happy birthday! :O

My dads birthday today too! LOL ^^

[MSB - Carl]

Weird good?!?!

Haa, you know, I've been listenin' to this multiple times today & I really like it now. It's funny how the lyrics are, but for some reason when he says "I NAMED HIM CARL...AHHHHH (laugh)" that's what I love to hear & then the song comes back. it sounds so weirdly good that I've become addicted to this song. You should actualy make it a longer song :D Only thing I'd suggest is eeeze up on the bass lead, but that's it. Good job even though this was a joke XD

GrantBowtie responds:

Hahahaha I'm amazed anyone liked this :P
Well I'm so glad that you do!!
I'ma post the beat as an instrumental make it longer and tweak the bass a little. So check back if you want.

[-| Momentum |-]

Awesomeness x8!!!

Ha, this was awesome. I say that you must finish this because it's just that good.

I mean the 8-bit structure was just pure epicness & original, the bass was great, the 8-bit beat was good, awesome intro & outro, & a nice break there in the middle that brought it to somehow another break instead of going back right away.

This kinda reminded me of Unicorn Kid, if you've ever heard of him. If you hadn't you should check it cuz it kinda reminds me of his song 8 Bytes.

Anyways, great job & you should extend this!!!

Thanks for reviewing, I guess I might have to finish this then xD

[[--Old Skool Swag--]]

DAMN!!!

This is it. This WIP right here is my jam. So glad you posted this cuz I swear to god, for just bein' a WIP, this is the oldskool swagg of a lifetime. I mean listen to this miracle. You got your funky upright bass, awesome oldbeat drums, nice strings attached in there, & that brass break is like imaginin' myself in a jazz club with a black guy playin' the saxophone XD!!! If you can get some to rap with this then that would be amazing. & not just rap, but a rap the right way & old skool. A fresh old skool idea really. Dude, again, this is amazing, so FINISH THIS!!!

DJM00se responds:

yeah bro. i hope i can get an old skool rapper in on this. im gonna put a nice saxophone break in too!

[Acid Rain (Neurofunk)]

Hard hittin' drums=SUCCESS

Now I know how my drums should be from listenin' to this. Plus that filter on the drums at some points worked out perfect because the kick sounded awesome when filtered.

Good thing it's a short song cuz I couldn't see this being any longer or it would be reptitive, unless you really had a good variety, which you had here.

The main lead in the beginning is pretty awesome & the end too. It was nice how you switched from this enchanting, upbeat DnB to dark, atmospheric DnB in the whole middle of the song then switched back up with a fade to end it with upbeat again.

My only problem is really the bass. I could still tell it was bass, but since it was really high passed, it sounded kinda weird. Not really annyoing, but kinda outta tune & dark with the main lead, if you know what I'm saying.

Somethin' heavier that hides under all the synths or the main lead, but is still hearable which can carry out the song is good, but don't forget variety on it too, which you did with this static bass.

Even a bassdrum could probably work out too, but the bass was a little too high passed & noticeable for my taste. Either then that, great job on this song & I'll be expecting more!
5/5 & 9/10

Jassummisko responds:

Thx for the review man, and you're right...the bass is pretty high passed but yeah...

BTW I don't know if you got it but the static hits on every bar indicate acid drops....get it the song is called acid rain hehe!

[You Cripple!]

Wow, touchin'

The timing was great, the moment was touching, & this was funny. I could totally see someone make a flash with this & some weird lookin' guy yellin' at some old crippled guy. Good job on this one!

SirKillington responds:

Thank you very much, but I have to give credit to the song writer. I was reviewing their stuff and this is what I thought up and put down for their review, heh.

[[--Victory--]]

Sweet Victory, Oh Yea!

This had some swagg to it for sure. That organ for the intro & the rest was awesome, that brass is what gives this song it's main swagg, that piano was great during the breaks, the beat was pretty slick, nice snare rolls you got goin' there, & that kick was great. When this song gets a rap, then it'll be perfect. I noticed that it gets repetitive, but that is how it's suppose to be for the rapper. Great job on this one & I hope to see more!
10/10 & 5/5

DJM00se responds:

yeah thanks bro. i see youre using some of that "swag" in your vocab. haha

[=RedAlert=]

This was pretty cool!!!

I can see how the verse's melody sounds like Chaoz Fantasy. Those sirens were awesome & definitely fit the title. The main lead was awesome & that break you added at 1:20 was very good. Maybe you could've added more Fx's in this song, but the song itself is nice. I have 2 main issues with this song.

1. The main lead, pad, siren, & any other synths were very overpowering. I suggest turning the volume down on those so I can actually hear the beat & add some bass so I can hear that too.

2. The beat could've been better for being a DnB song. I felt like there wasn't enough to it & not much variation on it either. Maybe add some more kick, snare, & maybe just a little percussion if it could fit in.

Overall, the song was good, I just suggest you add some bass, harder beat, & less volume on those synths. Good job & keep up the good work!!

Daydream-Anatomy responds:

Thanks dude, someone actually turned the master volume down in my fl (my friend's been playing with it.) the volume was at 30 percent, and when I turned it up I realized how badly mixed it was, I didn't want to bother with it though.
