Score: 9
"Repetetive, but really good"
date: August 8, 2009
The melody was unbeatable, and the drums were very cool too, especialy the snares. Effects are pretty cool, and the instruments weren't bad. Needs some more variety of instruments, since all I heard was a bass, the main saw synth, drums, and the synth playing the arpeggios at 1:49 as main instruments. Speaking of those, though, they were freakin' awesome. Arpeggios matching with main melodies are really hard to make, and usually come out badly, but these flowed really well with the song and were performed perfectly. The intro to the song was a little wierd. In my opinion, the main melody started too early. Start it at around 0:07 and maybe it'll sound better, and give it some reverse cymbal going into a loud drum hit (for instance, a loud reverbed kick and a crash cymbal) when the saw synth comes in. The part at 1:05 was really fantastic, very good job on that, and it helped the song flow much more. The fade ending didn't fit too well, though, I think. It felt a little off with this song. Still, everything else was fine, and that melody is out of this world. Strange name though... The melody does remind me of pirates for some strange reason, but the effects and synths don't fit too well for a piratey background. An organ, flute and accordian usually do well :). Well, wahatever, awesome song, keep up the great work, and sorry for the long review XD.

Oh yeah baby! Wow this song was one of my best hits. I made it around 4 months ago and yet it feels like a lifetime. I remember the only mastering I new how to do was chucking in some overall reverb effects and a bit of delay and filtering. I knew squat about that. And most of these sounds are presets. In fact, they are all presets, except for the drums. I cant even remember how I got that snare how it was. Wow. Now whenever I look back on this song I think, I could make this sounds so much better, but I will never come up with a melody like that again for a loooong time. I've been trying to make a techno song like this one for a while but cant, until I uncover an awesome melody like this one. Yeah I know hey, this song just seems to associate with pirates lol. Well thanks for the review, yeah 0 bombing sucks, allot of my songs are like that :D.
sorry for my long response, without paragraphs
