"Manic"

That's what this j minor key is.

Score: 8

"..."

submission: Strangers

date: October 29, 2008

As far as beating repetitiveness goes, the only thing I could think of for a song like this would be some quiet, reverbed noises in the background (like, say, a rainstorm or a conversation), but I'm not sure if that would improve the song or not. I think it works pretty well as is. Good background music.

Score: 6

"..."

submission: Infertehno

Fairly well done, doesn't really do anything for me. I heard it in the Zombie Canyon game, it was a poor fit (but you can't really be blamed for that).

Score: 6

"..."

submission: A Time Travel

date: October 28, 2008

It feels like it needs to be developed some more, as it doesn't have much in the way of resolution/climax. There's a build-up, but it doesn't seem to go anywhere.

Of course, you don't have to follow traditional song structure at all, but an interesting arrangement of some sort always helps.

Score: 7

"..."

submission: Crappy

date: October 28, 2008

Not bad by "first song ever" standards. It's better than my first song ever (which consisted of me making yelping noises along to a samba beat).

Score: 7

"..."

submission: Piano Song

date: October 28, 2008

A bit repetitive in places, but there is potential in it.

Score: 7

"..."

submission: Syphonrox

date: October 28, 2008

Nothing really reaches out & grabs my attention in this song or strikes me as incredibly unique, but then I also can't find anything overtly wrong with it, & it has it's moments...

Score: 8

"..."

submission: Deeper Into The Mansion

date: October 27, 2008

I'm going to disagree with some of the other reviewers. This song doesn't strike me so much as "spooky, but hurt by a beat" as "beaty, enhanced by some spookiness".

Score: 7

"..."

submission: .Derelict.

date: October 27, 2008

The pads are very Metroid. The chiptuney sort of melody is a bit too fuzzy, I think. Maybe not. Hmm...

There is a solid background tone at a couple of points which grates just a little bit.

Score: 7

"The Name"

submission: Naked Retard - C

date: October 26, 2008

The name made me expect something rather immature & crass, but it turned out to be a nice bit of ambiance. The jump from the opening musical section to the full-blown ambient section is a bit of a rough transition, in my opinion.
