"rap is usually not my thing..."

submission: WASTELAND

date: August 23, 2007

but i recognize skill when i hear it. good mix, good beat, good rhythm, decent vocal mix, love the string arrangement (even if sampled). my only gripe is... i didn't care for the lyrical content, but delivered decently.

Score: 9

total awesomes... one less than 10 because strongbad still does it better :)

Score: 5

"nice sounds and rhythm"

submission: Run from the Cops

date: August 8, 2007

i can barely make out the drums and everything is mudded so it is hard to hear the individual bits (the loder it is, the mor indistiguishable each part sounds, until it just sounds like a loud buzzy sound)... also (i am a genre nazi, sorry, esp. when people classify), this ain't trance, maybe electro or old-skool

Score: 8

"well, it not trance... but..."

submission: Tesla

date: August 7, 2007

it's not bad for an old-skool style rave/synthpop song. reminds me of the stuff i used to listen to in the early 90's. great arrangement and decent mix and enjoyable to listen to. a bit rough around the edges in the quality of sound (i gather you probably lowered the mp3 quality to maybe get almost 5 minutes of music in). still, pretty good. certainly not trance (almost all trance has a major element of 4-on-the-floor beat)

Score: 7

"certainly not as bad as the current score says..."

submission: Night Life (Short Edit)

date: August 7, 2007

i mean, i think some mixing work could be used to even out some of the sounds and a bit mroe variation. it's almost like a alt-hip-hop-r-and-b-electro fusion. i lreally like the basic beat and rhythm, just needs some tightening up. i like the ideas and i love the muted pad hits. not the best, but certainly *not* the 1.03 as it was when i scored it. keep at it!

Score: 6

"it's ok"

submission: Funkin' Around

date: August 7, 2007

a bit short and the laid-back meandering was kinda cool. the only thing even really techno-ish in the song was the 303 melody near the end, which ruined the mood of the song for me, but that's personal taste.

Score: 7

"not bad"

submission: Trance 424 remix

date: August 7, 2007

-nice mix-down
-a bit repetitive - that's trance for ya tho ;)
-i like the slight house beat
-the kiddie sounding crash in the 2/3rds point of the song, sounds out of place and a bit overused, luckily only lasts for a bit
-i like the lead, epic sounding

Score: 6

"doesn't remind me much of futurama"

submission: Futurama Fan

date: August 7, 2007

(except for the voice samples) but the song is OK, the samples seemed kinda like cheap/forced placement. still, i think the music itself has potential. also, i have no idea what KAKASHIKAGE's problem is... some people are that way.

Score: 8

"i'm not a guitar fan, but..."

submission: Agony Omega

date: August 7, 2007

this is one of the few guitar-sounding tracks here that sound pretty damn good. and without an accompanyment, i say... damn good. are you not playing guitar anymore? (i take from your comments that you are not anymore, or maybe i understood that wrong?)

Score: 9

"trying to redefine happy hardcore a bit, eh? ;)"

submission: {Lazy Summer Days}

date: August 7, 2007

...usually you don't get those slow bits, at least not from the classic stuff i listened to years ago (it was relentless happy beats). not my thing these days, but i cannot deny talent when i hear it. a great mix and a great arrangement. you know how to put the beat together and a melody that sticks in the head. either way, regardless of what i *usually* like, great damn job!
