[(NUB)Ret Pallies Need A Nerf]

uhh

sfz i dont think he was referring to nerf guns kiddo. If i presume correctly im pretty sure he meant "retribution palidans need a nerf/ tone down in power".he was associating with World of Warcraft. Although i wonder why he chose that title lol. anyway i digress:

overall i was very pleased with what you've made here, its not professional but who says it needs to be pro in order to enjoy it? i think the buildup was prolonged, but the drums really blew me away. Great track here.

nubbinownz responds:

hehe thank you. And yes, I was referring to retribution paladins. I'm so sick of them slaughtering in pvp. How can you have a class that can not only heal, but destroy every other class in sheer damage output. Not to mention they can bubble and pop avenging wrath, killing you before you can even touch them.
Thanks again for the review man :D

[Decimate-MGA-]

alot better

this is much better than your most recent one, but again the random voice samples that pop in are a tad too loud, they are almost startling. buildups are great, bassline is MUCH better. im not a total asshole when i review but cmon now, the other one isn't that great. this song would sound great with a good singer/vocalist.

and i have Bose Companion II 3 series speakers, i wouldn't say they're total crap.

Mr-green-apple responds:

haha yea id say this is better than my latest submission. listening to this stuff with bass does make a difference for all you new grounders out there. if you are not listening to dance with a subwoofer you are missing out on half the experience. thx for the review bro. appreciate it!!! see ya around : )

[Genie in a Bottle -MGA-]

hmmm.

i really can't say i like this, it sounds more like noise than music, but what do i know right. ok now its not sounding like total shit which is good. that distortion and shit bass is still there though, i recommend changing it. the vocals have no correlation to anything at all. and that typical crowd rave sample is really unnecessary.

you have a lot of good ideas and methods, but you seriously need some new samples and better quality.

you have a lot to learn about this genre kiddo, better luck next time.

Mr-green-apple responds:

haha uhh noo.... yea i know its amatuer hands up but come on dude...a 3... really. your probably listening to this on shitty speakers anyway. yea the bass is distorted and yea its supposed to be like that. nothing wrong with a crowd filler dude. sorry you didnt like but dont come and slam dance that you are not into. go listen to some real hard dance and come back to the dance section cuz thats all thats guna be there

[(NUB)First FruityLoops Song ?!]

why the hell...

haven't i seen your music sooner. Your style is extremely unique, i absolutely love it. its so experimental yet controlled. im gonna look at your other audio now.

nubbinownz responds:

Thank you :D I'm really glad that you enjoy it. I try my best to break the mold Sometimes I pull it off, ( not always though)

[Don't Give a Damn]

unique

i have not heard a track like this ever, and i must say, its really....ear catching? i heard it in the portal and hell, i was not surprised when i saw the author of it. this is great! its very hip hopish yet metallic at the same time, hell its everything you'd want in a song.

NemesisTheory responds:

haha, well if it's catchy then I am really happy...
as long as a song captures your attention then I'm happy about it :)

thanks a lot for the kind words, and again I'm happy you liked it :)

[Paradise on E (Karco Remix)]

wow dude.

this is an amazing remix

argh but this low bitrate is killing me =x a higher bitrate version would be much appreciated =) this sounds great, but the echoing of the main melody seemed to get a bit repetitive. Maybe 10minutes was too lengthy? i don't know. it has good transistions though. Maybe add in your own melody that makes an addition to the main melody. i know some remixes where people have done that with much success.

i sound like a moron, i think ill stop now.

Karco responds:

PM sent, check your inbox.

Repetitivity is pretty common in Trance, and I know many a good 10-minute song that kept me (and others I know) entertained. ;) Your review did, however, stress (at least to me) the point that I should make songs appealing to a wider audience now and then - I'll be submitting one soon actually. :D

Thanks for the review!

[~EnV~Demo mix!]

dude

you have any idea how amazing your music is? holy hell...i cant even tell you how much i enjoy your work. Every time i hear something new i can't help but grin.

Envy responds:

Glad I make you grin :D

Thanks for the review!

hmmm

i will say, this is a good piece of audio you've made here. The bass was quite prominent, in my oppinion, too prominent. Also, the buildup is quite teasing. I think the "finale" of the song should have been much sooner. This is all personal preference however, and i understand that this is quality work. The overall feel is nice, somewhat of a laid back dance tune. i could see myself playing stepmania to this lol. Great job, love your work.

4/5

HouseMasta responds:

thanks a lot for the 8!

[|-| Loh Kal Eyes]

argh

can't say i enjoyed this, it was good but not great. The main melody seemed to be over-used i guess. You add variation but its not interesting enough. I really don't know how to give you constructive criticism on this, so i guess all i can say is add some more variation.

i love your music though.

Hadriani responds:

Wewt, constructive criticism accepted!
Thanks for the review!

Cheers,
Hadriani

[Crying Soul (Scratch RMX)]

AHHH

i totally loved the original, i listened to both before reviewing. I was a bit skeptical at the begining piano, but it progressed quickly. i must say, this lives up to the original, if not, exceeds it. You added some extra melody i see, i love that. The snyths are perfect, and when the new melody kicked in at 2:11 or whenever, i got chills which is a good thing. I don't really think theres anything that can be improved.

Definetly downloading this and checking out what else you have to offer, this is fine work. 10/10 5/5
