[MH16: Music Is Power]

well done indeed

I already posted on the one with lyrics, but I have to say something to this one, too. ;P I really like how the arrangement builds up. Nice use of the violin here. It's all quite simple 4/4 rythm but it is used very well. The drums are defanetly one of your strenghts I like them a lot.
I gave you full score on this because of the big improvements you make.

Maybe you can try to play around with major-minor changes on your next. It brings the hole thing to a higher standart, trust me. experiment with different kadences. try something in d minor maybe and change smoothly to f major. music is offering endless choices to you! ;)

FairSquare responds:

Thanks for the review!
But could you explain me what major and minor is? I don't know musical theory, but if you could tell me what it is i'd be happy :-)
And yeah, music is offering endless choices and that's the magic of music: you can express every feeling and every thought with it.

[Music Can Change The World]

I love the strings!

bad things first: the singing could be improved a lot it sounds a bit like it was sung through the nose! and get rid of that sniff please!!

ok but I love the music in the background. the strings are lovely and the delay on the piano sounds great. I would appreciate it if you tell me when you do another piece in this style - just intrumental.
Yeah and I must say that your skills getting better over time. I hope you'll make more music in this length or even longer, because your shorter ones are always missing something.

FairSquare responds:

Thanks for the review!
And if you like the instrumental version of this song, it's called ''MH16: Music Is Power''.

[Hero's Bottle]

badass chorus!

yeah the singing reminds me a bit at the older iron maiden stuff. really great job done on the guitar here, too. the *soft break* has a really good feeling and the licks are well played as well as the solo. I like the groove of the hole song! only one thing: the bass guitar could be played a bit cleaner.
keep it up man.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Thanks very much, man! Glad you dig it. As for the bass, I'll get it cleaned up on the final FINAL version! Thanks for listening and reviewing, man!

[MH16: MAC9]

nicely done

I really like string compositions and this is a very calming one. I like the arrangement of the strings as well as their different lines, but it ended way to early so the flutes at the end are getting lost a little bit.
You could make this hole piece longer and more dynamic (getting louder, slower, faster, harmony change...) and add a bit reverb maybe.
It really has potential, but needs some more work!

FairSquare responds:

I'm just a beginner :P
But thanks for your review, i'll definatly try to make this track better.
I appreciate it :-)

[-Together- (Piano)]

love it

my 5's for you, you made all good on this one! I love the melody and the hole character. very well playing here and a smooth minor/major change, too. I feel like the minor part could have been strechted a bit, but that's subjective.
hope you make more!

Mrmilkcarton responds:

Well I didn't want it to sound too sad so I tried my best mixing both major and minor.

[Mental Issues - Endless]

like it alot

yeah I really like this one. the keyboard sounds good on it and the singing is well done. I don't like the sound of the base drum so much, but it's just a little thing.
keep it up!

mentalissues responds:

Im very glad you like the keyboard :)

[Quiet Killings]

very good

my 5 for your melodies and licks they awesome man. keep it up this one is really killing it! the base drum could be a bit softer but that's just my taste.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Thanks man, glad you dig. I know, the kick drum kinda goes too hard during the "chorus" part...I'll look into changing that up. Been a pain in my ass too. :(

Thanks for the review!

[MH16: Eternal Flutes]

good work!

I like this one most. the drums are not too dominating wich is really important for this kind of music. but there's one thing: man, you got many ideas and have a good feeling for melody but you have to put more time in your pieces! they are ending way too early. collect your passion and put 2 or 3 days in the next one and I am shure it will become something great.

PS: I wanted to rate a 4 but I didn't cause I don't want to destroy the current score ;)

greetings

FairSquare responds:

Ok, thanks for letting the score intact :P
And i have a few songs that are longer than 3 minutes, but you're right. I should put more time in my songs and i'm definatly going to do that. Thanks for the advice!

[Between Fear And Death BMI/SoK]

yeah

awesome and timed riffing, nice ideas damn good vocals. it has this pantera-feeling. only one thing: the basedrum needs more power!
keep it up, it's ass kicking.

Sonofkirk responds:

Thanks dude, I made it when I was a noob with Addictive Drums and yeah the drums sounded quite wierd. Anyway, thanks for the review dude, it's much appreciated !

[Violin solo - Lonely Poem]

great!

I love handmade music. It is really difficult to create feelings with only one instrument, but I think you made it here. good work, clean playing, 5 points.

Stickserious responds:

Thank You!
