Defensive?

Dang, man, your author comments are so defensive. Be open to a little criticism, m'kay?

Like I said in my other review, this song feels like the start of something that's a long ways from finished. How much time do you take to make songs? You should think about taking more.

And I don't think anyone will "complain about how disgusting or offensive it is". You're justing repeating two words over & over with no further intent. It's not particularly shocking. Immature, maybe.

jUMPYm4X responds:

lol thanks man. i was being a little to defensive. and yes....it is immature lol

Ow, my head

Does "dark hardcore" mean overbearing repetitive bass rhythms?

Shabazza84

I don't think the first reviewer gets the idea behind 8bit music...But, to be honest, some of the guitar stuff seemed harsher & more dissonent than the Game Boy sounds, to me. Not a bad song, but perhaps a bit on the long side. I'm not sure. It may work as a jammin' sort of thing.

LLAAPPSSEE responds:

I don't think so either, oh well. There was only one part in the song were i really wanted the dissonance to be. That was the guitar at about 2:02. I just wanted it to build up that section very harshly then end on the lighter side of the song. Cant win 'em all i guess. This was my first attempt with 8-bit. I plan on making more centered around space-based imagery.

Works

For a solo, it works. Very soundtracky. Choir is rather canned sounding, though.

malkavianxx responds:

Well I'm really fuckin sorry I don't have a real choir at my beck and call! would that make you happy if I did? cause I think I'd be happy to.

Looping

Most media players have a loop mode, & if that doesn't work for you, you can always use the "repeat x amount of times" feature in Audacity.

Chip Tune!

I always get nostalgic when I hear chiptunes. I quite like this one, except for the main theme bit (that part that ends the song). Maybe it just need time to grow on me. But the sounds & pulsing bass rhythm are fun. What do you mean, though "gonna be made from scratch"? Is this one a remix or something?

Mr-Roc-a-fella responds:

No I got this song from Wave Race 64 but my next song is gonna be original.

Silence

The breaks to quieter bits help. Anything that helps keep a song from being nothing but one long techno riff is a good thing, in my book.

ellifunt responds:

hey thanx thats exactly what i was thinkin!
wish u woulda voted, since u reviewed tho.

2 a.m.

IIt's 2 a.m., & this song is really driving that fact home. I'm not sure what to rate this, at all.

ModernMongoose responds:

Its all good man, like I said. Its nothing to hit the top 5 charts, its just supposed to be dumb as hell.

Grand Journey

I like the sliding pads that come in at about 45 seconds. This track is pretty close to that sort of "travelling" feel I like. Perhaps, though, some of the backing percussion is a bit too same-y.

Twenty seconds in, losing interest...

Maybe it's just another case of internet ADHD, but this song is just not hooking me very well.
