[Im A Slave To Opium]

Hmm.

This is a tough one for me. I don't really get this song. I found it really repetitive, and I thought the intro was way too long. For me, it was boring, but it seems like other people like it, so . . . I dunno. There isn't a lot going on in this song, and I think that's why I found it hard to listen to all the way through. I didn't really like the transition at 2:47 . . . I don't know man. Maybe it's the style of music I don't like, but if you have any problems with my review, feel free to PM me and straighten it out.

I can tell you have some musical talent though.

[Close To Nowhere]

I like it.

I feel uncomfortable giving this a nine, but I feel that you did a good job with you you have here. You should make this into a song. Maybe add a hip-hop beat to it. I think this could be VERY popular if you did that.

Find someone who can rap and unleash him on this. It would be BALLIN!

FloorNinja responds:

Thanks, I think I will make it into a song with a hip-hop beat, it already sounds good in my head, I just have to make it sound good on the actual song, great idea. I'll be sure to tell that you gave the idea of doing that.

[{DK} GliTcH]

Nice

Not too much to it, but I enjoyed it. Very ambient. Good work on the drums.

Kuma-AKA responds:

Thank you very much :)

[We Must Prevail]

LOL I made a song with this SAME chord progression

. . . but it was 6 years ago. You have some good ideas, I just think the quality a little weak.

I think you should add something else though . . . maybe a melody on top of what you have now.

This has some potential man, I'd say keep workin' on it. Good luck.

[DJ Babokon - Edge (Piano)]

Needs more texture.

Some notes:

There weren't any wrong notes in the piano part, but I feel that some of the notes should be changed.

The piano parts overlap. I would never recommend using the paino as the bass, melody, and rhythm in a song. It just doesn't work.

Also, this isn't a song. A song has more substance. If you were to add drums, bass, or some synth pads/strings, and make it more complicated, it would be a song.

Keep working.

DJ-Babokon responds:

Yah. I don't really care, but i'll work on it. thanks for the advice.

EDIT: I finished!

[Talk To You Baby Version 2]

OK.

This needs more than some sliced vocals and a good beat. I would STRONGLY recommend adding a bridge to the peice, and a melody. As it stands now, the song is boring. If you add a melody and a bridge, it will be better.

Good luck.

[~DT~ Inebriated]

Not bad.

For the sake of being constructive, I might recommend varying the drum fills, instead of using the same fill. I might also recommend making the melody a little louder or more powerful. Overall I enjoyed you ideas.

Also, if I were you, I might add some more to the bridge-like section at 2:03.

Nice dude.

DeatHTaX responds:

I tried messin around with it a lot more, but i just couldnt nail anything that i seemed to like. I mean it's probly one of my more decent songs for having only worked on it for about 2 hours, but yeah, definitely could've used some more variation. What can i say, i'm pretty lazy lol :D

But hey, glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the feedback

[Beat it-Metaljonus]

A bit slow.

I think it should be sped up a little bit. I also didn't enjoy the obnoxious guitar playing. I didn't find it very musical, although the guitar playing is good.

Basically, this doesn't mean anything to me.

+6 points for guitar talent.

Metaljonus responds:

If it does'nt mean anything to you why even fucking review? pffh I swear people are dumb.

[Sentimental Mood (Soprano Sax)]

Not bad sax playing.

The solo could've been more exciting . . . I also heard a few bum notes . . . it's improv. though. I noticed you love to use the 9 and 11 tensions over the D minor a lot. LOL. They are some cool notes, but I think it would be cooler if you used the 13 over the minor chord. The key is D so it would be a B natural I guess. It's good overall I'd say.

[The Fuming Lake of Doom]

Pretty good

It would be cool to see some more to the song though. I think if you added a bridge it would be better. It sounds great though.
