Time for another videogame-ish metal song :) This time I used a more industrial approach. I was inspired by the song "Cryosleep" by Machinae supremacy.

"Unique"

date: August 14, 2009

One of the most unique songs I have heard here. That awesome guitar riff on top of that 8-bit sounding track was something different.

Also, what happened to that loop you had on here, Pizzahead I think it was called? I was going to download it on my home computer but then you deleted it.

The pizzahead song was removed beacuse I didnt like it very much, and it got a low score :)

Thanks for your review! :D

"Sounds too much like Cryosleep, but w/e. XD"

date: May 24, 2009

Listening to the synth at the start instantly made me think Cryosleep. Listening to the guitar riffs made me think Cryosleep. Listening to the middle part with the clean-sounding guitar made me think Cryosleep. No wonder, this song was inspired by Cryosleep. XDD

That's meant to be a good and bad thing though. While this song does clearly show its influence to MaSu fans, and while sound quality, instrument choice, panning, & melody are all awesome, I think it lacks a "hook" of some sort. To make sure of what I'm saying, I listened to Cryosleep while making this review ^^

I noticed that the main "refrain-ey" part had the synth and the rhythm, but also had other lead guitars and string-ish synths playing as well. Maybe if you added your own version of that, it'd be better, but that's just my opinion since this alone already sounds like a great tribute of sorts already to Cryosleep! I especially love the way you ended the song; that was just perfect. =)

5/5, 8/10.

But if you ask me, nothing is topping your original version of Mirrorworld. You know me enough to know that I'd say that. XD

Thanks a lot for your great reviews :)

Yeah I know that the song turned out pretyy similiar to cryosleep in many ways, but that was part of the plan. I didn´t really "copy" anything, just made some parts(like the guitar and drums) very similiar. It´s no secret that I am influenced alot by MaSu, they are after all my biggest source of inspiration.

Thanks again for your great review! I am not too fluent in english so its kinda hard for me to express myself as thorough as you can :) I hope you dont take offense in that my response isnt as long as your review ^^
