Holy Jesus, I almost shit myself because I couldn't stop laughing! I seriously had to turn it off after the song started to repeat because it's just way too fucking funny. I only just now stopped laughing and it took me forever to write this review.
Well!
Yo dawg dis shit be bangin'. No, for real, I didn't expect to find this when I was just surfing through the portal for metal. Reminds me of Japanese metal and it has a very Japanese feel to it. I'm not saying that the Japanese language sounds like Swedish, no, not in the least, only a total fucking idiot would say that.
Despite really liking it, I thought that there was some strange quality about the way you mixed your vocals. Perhaps they need more bass? I'm not sure.
It'd be chill to collab sometime. (you can ignore the sound of my current entries, I have a new mic)
thanks a lot man! haha japanese, eh? can't say i know anything about japanese metal, but that's pretty cool i guess haha. yeah, the mixing isn't exactly flawless.. i'll try to work a bit with the bass in the future. thanks again dude, much appreciated!
Geil! Aber...
The quality is pretty bad. Keep tryin'.
Good
But not quite fantastic- You need to add a bowed bass section and maybe a quiet counter melody because this shit sounds hollow as a muthafucka. It also sounded a bit too much like a metal song to me, but it struck me that it would be fantastic if you added an electric guitar in that sounds similar to the music in Last Remnant or Super Smash Bros Brawl.
What I know for sure is that it NEEDS more fullness. If it weren't for the fullness issue I'd have given it a 9 out of 10.
Here's the thing
Being smart and taking on a battle like you are on the field with some muthafuckin' real soldiers is what I did here. I used strategy and behind the back style lyrics, I went on defense and on offense while Self just tried to attack with some shit he don't even know about, which I said in the rhyme but apparently people are too dumb to understand. Trying to be the most ingenious and most unique rapper is what rapping is all about, we're supposed to be poets while Self just tryin' to play like he a thug that dropped out of 3rd grade. It's people like that what give rappers a bad name. I've been rapping for years now and I've never had a battle where the other guy was so stupid he didn't understand anything I said. Fast rapping ain't about the other guy comprehending you, it's about getting more words into a small amount of time and y'all know that we didn't have very much time to do our parts.
Oh yeah and Self... I called myself a faggot in my second verse so seriously, where the fuck's your brain at? Maybe if you used it you'd get my words and if my words fly fast then why don't you just listen faster?
To wrap it up, I'm chill with losing. It just shows me that people are still stuck in the stone age and don't want to hear ingenuity when someone speaks. I'm not going to dumb down my rhymes to "win" a contest, but I did have fun and hope that Self actually starts going back to school some day.
Had to listen again
I saw the flash you put this in a long while back (great shit btw) and I just had to come hear it again. You should get some people to try and do tributes of it. lol
I see.
I like it a whole fuckin' lot. It's industrial, ambient and XP all at once. The ending was a little.. Too sudden? I think there may have been a better way to end the song. It reminds me of a couple of my old songs and a little bit of the Trans Siberian orchestra.
I see a quickly passing ice covered landscape. Many pictures of frozen structures hit me as I speed by them. Jagged, powder covered structures of ice that seem as though they could uproot themselves and dance the delicate ways of a ballerina. Beyond them is a seemingly flat landscape, frostbitten and clean.
This is without my good headphones on and coming out of computer speakers but I think it's orchestrated quite well. Didn't have too many problems with it, myself. Although I do feel like you are holding back here. Wrong? Right? Who knows?
Lol the ending was that way because of the 4 minute limit, and because I had gotten to that part of the song and just was like, "you know what? I'm just going to leave it like this for now until the competition is over."
So that issue will be adressed later, I am glad that someone likes it :3
It seems that...
This is pretty ok, contrary to what I thought it was going to be. Now there were problems with it though, like the choir VST or w/e you kids call them was too quiet. The other major problem would be a sudden ending. Do you have the official soundtrack? All the songs loop but they fade out at the end of them on the OST.
I suggest tweaking it a little bit and then re-uploading it but hey, that's just me and I'm an immense fan of the music from Final Fantasy 7. Good work!
no no no thank u i need to know this thank you :D
Ugh...
I love music from around the world and study various instruments and styles and this was an awkward sounding, horribly synthetic piece of music. The computer thing you used to replace real Er Hu (which has the sound of a singing woman) was extremely obvious of being a synth until the end. I don't know what you did at the end (I'm sure your composition was more trying at that point) but it sounded much better there. It's probably the complimenting instruments making it sound better.
As for the rest of the song with the Chinese cymbals and various percussion and what not; It was unsatisfactory to my tastes. The cymbals were a little loud and it was pretty generic of a foreigner trying at Chinese music all together. The synth of a whatever that was trying to be (koto, guqin, guzheng, etc.) was really 'lame' for lack of a better term. I was hearing some sort of noise out of the right pan at 1:34 and whether that was intentional or not I liked it and it made me think of fire burning. I thought the song was just 'OK' and that you maybe should have focused on a more orchestral piece than a percussion filled piece.
Even though I didn't like it, that doesn't mean that others won't though! I wish you the best of luck in the contest.
Well what am I supposed to do? Buy Chinese instruments to win a NG contest?... Maybe you have the time and money, but I don't.
The noise you were hearing from the right side was a long wind sample.
The ErHu was sampled and compiled into a VST not synthesized. I did my best to find "real" instruments and simulate them as if they were actually being played.
Thank you for the review
Oh, sweet!
This is really cool! It does actually make me picture mountains, at first dowsed in fog, then uncovered by light and then it turns to night. Excellent progression and mastering and the use of the odd sound here and there is what sold me on it. One of the notable turn offs was actually the bass drum that comes in at 1:53, even though I'm an experimental artist, for some reason this just sounded really off or maybe too loud. In any case I hope you do well in the contest!
Thank you ! Good luck to you too !
