You seem to have similar reviewing habits to mine, don't you? Reviewing the most recently submitted songs of similar genres to what you submit in... smart. =) But I'll start reviewing your song.
Honestly... I don't know what more I want. This song's genius. You've got my 5/download. =D I love your melodies, harmonies, everything... it's all so melodic. =D I just don't see how you can have so few downloads and reviews, even though you've just gotten here. Awesome stuff.
It sounds fairly professional, as well - darn it, I wish my first submission was this good. =D What program do you use to make your songs?
My one problem is that the second time you introduce the lyrics, it seems a bit too sudden... and I can understand distortion, but it seems a bit too distorted... I can't pay attention to them AND the rest of the song at the same time. Work on volumes/mastering.
Other than that, your song just gets better and better. Keep making songs, and PLEASE send me a PM next time you submit a song so I can listen to and review it! If you do, I GUARANTEE a review. Seriously. This stuff's awesome! XD
So I hope this review made your day. And yes, if you reviewed my songs, especially Phantom Zero, my latest version of Dark Storms at Sea, and And So This Story Goes, it would make mine. No need to review all three... just my reccomendations. =)
Recap:
Great Song.
Work on lyrics/individual volumes.
Great Song.
Great Song.
Review my songs if you have the time.
Great song.
=D

Well, I haven't really "just gotten here" :) Our main accounts are BLACKNOISE and CagedRealm. This is just our "musical-duo" account :D
Well, lemme address the "lyrics are too sudden" part... trust me, that was completely unintentional. We just turned the mic on, and read the poem. It turned out that the vox was 4 bars longer than we needed it to be... but since we had wasted enough time on the vocals, we just left it at that.
Thanks for all the compliments, we really appreciate reviews like these :) I'll go review one of your newer songs :D
See ya later!

You're giving a different feel in this one than in TreekinGameplay. It's a very nice one, too. This would work nicely in a game, too.
Like your other song, you would do well to work a little more on individual volumes, but it's not that big of a problem.
Overall another fairly good song. Go ahead and PM me whenever you want a review for a song you've recently submitted. =)

This is really nice. I love that introduction. Yeah, I can really see this in a game. Nice job on that. =D
Your instruments are well-chosen and original. You keep everything about the song fresh, which is nice. This song's unpredictable and consistent at the same time... I like it. =)
You could have worked a little more on the individual volumes of each of the synths/sounds/drums a bit more, but otherwise I have nothing to suggest. Great job with this, I like it a lot. You have my 5. =D
While I'm at it, mind if I suggest you visit my audio page sometime and review my songs? Especially my latest, Phantom Zero. =) I'd appreciate it a lot.
Author's Response:
Thanks for the review. Glad you liked it, what I try to do with my songs is to add some taste into them, making them as melodic as I can. I keep hearing techno songs which has got nothing but a few drums and a constant noice, no melodism or anything that makes it sound any good. Also I wish I had more real instruments in my music program so I could do something more dramatic like an orchestra type of thing.
So about the volumes of the instruments, do you mean like maybe I should increase volume of the drums a little, making them sound more powerfull and keep other instruments not from sort of crashing because of the volume differences?
And I'll check out your audio page now, I'll see you around. ;)

The beginning sounds fairly amateaurish for what I know you can do, though it gets better as the song goes on.
I've seen better songs for you, that's for sure... I liked Bass It Up 2 more. =P That's not to say this isn't a bad song to begin with... I still like it a lot. =)
Better not stop now that you're back! =D
Author's Response:

I already reviewed a few songs of yours. XD Oh well, I'll review this song anyway. Thanks again for reviewing my songs. (And yes, random reader of this review, if you review my songs you'll get some (not necessarily one) from me!) All advertising aside, I'll get right to the review, ok? =P
Well, I'll have to tell you the beginning's a bit annoying - what is that saying? Your melody's unique - it could be good if you built on the song the right way.
This song's fairly random and inconsistent - that COULD be a good thing, but in this case, it's fairly annoying. If you're making this song for someone, they'll appreciate your effort but you'd probably be better off making something a bit more... pleasant for the ears, if you don't mind. =P
Keep makings songs. If you get enough practice, I can see a very, very unique and popular style coming out of you. I'm not just saying that to make you feel good. Honestly. =D (Though it will be some time - several months, at least - before that style comes out. That's why I said keep making songs! =D)

The kick feels a bit too simple, and your introduction is too boring. I see five different sounds and instruments used so far... that's not a lot. A bit more diversity would be appreciated. You keep your drums fresh, but not to a good enough degree - more variation with them would be good.
Your bassline needs work, and the other bassline you introduce later on doesn't fit the song at all. Many parts of this song don't fit with the rest and some feel like they were just put there because they sounded cool on their own, rather than cool in the song.
It needs work. Keep trying.

So this is your first one? Well, you have a decent piano melody...I recognize that clap and hihat! I won't take it off your score, since this is the first time you used them, but please, let's see some originality. I can help you find things if you need me to. =)
Your bassline is pretty good, too, though it could use a bit of variation. And then your transition to that pad (which is too high - try lowering it an octave or so) is a bit too quick, so remember that.
Wow, this part's really sounding like a different song entirely now... nice job with that. =D Very different from what your more recent songs.
Gaaahhh, there's that hihat and clap again. I can't stress this enough - if all of your songs are going to be with the same things, you're going to end up getting 0's for Originality all over the place. Work on it! =D
Overall, a pretty good song, especially for your first. It was better than mine, that's for sure. =P

I've reviewed three of yours songs... why not review your others? =)
Well, for one, there's that unmistakable Drumr345 style in this... part of it is characterized by the synths you use a bit too often... find something else to use. ;) That hihat, clap and the Orionstring synth. Know what I mean? Try to find something else to use. =)
Not much else to say... though I LOVE the ending. =P Keep submitting! =D

You know, I finished that remix of the Odyssey... you might want to check it out sometime. =)
Huh. By "Waiting for Tonight" do you mean the Odyssey? Either way, you're a genius at making these songs. =D I notice a lot of things you used also in the Odyssey... huh. Points off for originality - though that doesn't mean this isn't a great, great song overall. ;)
Your fast, catchy melody is a plus, as is pretty much everything in your song - your attitude and choice in instruments/sounds complement each other, save that synth/pad thing you introduce at 1:36 a bit too quickly for my tastes - it's a good choice, but if you had faded it in, it would have been better.
Overall a really, really good song. Do you know how tempted I am to remix it? XD I would, but I've already remixed a song of yours. Either way, you've got my 5 and download. =D
Darn it, I love that great Drumr345 style... now if only you would submit more often. =P Keep making music! =D

NOOO! DON'T GO! XD
All funny implications aside, let's see what you have in this nice song of yours.
Orchestral introduction - that's a new one, for DnB.
Ahh, I see a melody coming out now...wow, that's really, really good! =D
Hah, I need to start listening to your Drum and Bass more. Right now I only have I Don't Need You Anymore, Big Bad Fish-Man, and... this. =P Got any others to reccomend? I'm 90% sure I'll review whatever you reccomend, so... just don't reccomend everything. XD
Overall a pretty good song. =) I'm looking forward to your next submission. =P
