"Snoop Dogg - Malice N Wonderland"

by: lakaiskate

date: December 10, 2009

No one can choose their real family, but anyone can choose their rap family. There's a proper time and place for Soulja Boy, but it isn't on a Snoop track, and it's most certainly not anywhere within spitting distance of Auto-Tune. The electronica-tinged Pronto breaks the smooth aesthetic of the album, offering a bloated track that has so much of Soulja Boy it should really read "featuring Snoop Dogg". (There's a comment to made here, too, about "featuring Lil Jon" on 1800, when all he does is his standard "yeah!"s in the background.) Pronto would have been the best track on a new Soulja Boy album, but it's definitely the worst track here.

"Very nice!!"

Very impressive from beginning to end! Nice beat, instruments, melody... An overall awesome that makes people just keep on asking for more. Although it is hard to believe this song could definitely be better with some perfect build up spots left empty and some volume anomalies here and there. This song definitely has the power and the possibility but is it really there or does it need one final push to the top?
I wont make this review like i usually do with the Strong point and Weak point system because i realized over time that this poses a few problems. For the most part, people don't always agree as in what may be a weak point for me might be a strong point for others otherwise making me a public enemy. And also it disables the possibility of you knowing how good or bad your song is before you read the whole review witch is also why my star number will be as close to the average as possible not necessarily because i think that its just not to break your review average. If there are any things you do not agree on or otherwise, completely hate about my review, just post it in the response, I would really appreciate it.

- I really liked the intro setting the beat for the song but i really did think that a short bass would of really added some music to it but that would of possibly forced you to change the way you build up the song since it would be exactly compatible with the synth that you added after. Very nice choice of drums! Classic trance drums never sounded this good!
- Although the instruments used in this song are really good, some of them might need revisiting. For instance, the bass that comes in at 2:05 and countinues for the rest of the song should start out continuous and then after the drum roll that stops at 2:31, should be spaced until the rest of the song with the exception of calm parts without drums.
- I noticed that there are some instruments in the song you just added for a complex sound and to avoid repetition but some of them you should really make louder because they have the quality to add to the build thous make the song longer and better
- I love the general sound of the song. It sounds very professional, very calculated, nothing is left to luck everything is there for a reason. Although it doesnt exactly show much in terms of effects and such.
... at this point in the review my sound card has completely crashed out of nowhere... so i will not countinue with the details after all, i think i have covered all the things that might need refinement. anyway... you and digital pulse really rock at this!! you should consider making some more and seeing how it would turn out. if you guys make a good team, you guys should make a separate account so that you could both benefit equally. anyway i will tell you, this is the kind of sound, of song that most artists on newgrounds could only dream to create. Very nice work hope i hear more like this soon! Peace!

This is awesome dude. I normally get bored from slow build ups but this one has me the whole way. I love it man. The whole way through you feel like your are climbing up to a point and you just sit back and enjoy the ride. Very calm i really like it would be awesome in a rave.

Advice:
- The bass and beat seem to get cluttered at times making it really heavy maybe try seperating them a bit =).

9/10 (You MUST finish this)
5/5

Amazing work =).

Magnificent piece of audio art you got here!
Love the melody, strings (don't know for sure if it's strings, but it sounds like strings), synths and beats.

Maybe some mastering here and there could help, but it's still just WIP, so i believe you'll fix that sooner or later =)

I love it! Looking forward to it, and good luck.

"Alright..."

You asked for a review, and you shall receive a review. ;-)

I'm going to start off with this comment, I hate trance. Although there is a style of trance I can enjoy, such as what InvisibleObserver often writes, this style is not for me. BUT! I will try to keep to the fact, and not so much my opinion.

First off, the percussion makes me cry. I did not like the percussion for a variety of reasons. First off, there was no variety in the percussion at all really. It's basically the same rhythm through the entire song, which is a bit much for me personally. All you had to do to keep the percussion fresh was to add a few glitch effects. That would help out the percussion IMMENSELY! All that being said, the rhythm you created was nifty, it just should have changed up a bit more throughout the song.

Also, I didn't like the percussion samples you used. They were just to stereotypical trance percussion for me. Now I'm not saying you have to create drum samples from dogs barking, such as my friend IO that I mentioned earlier does, but the samples you used were really bland for my taste. Especially the kick. The kick in my opinion is the most important hit in the percussion for this style of music, and it just sounded blah.

The piano is decent. I'm a pianist, been playing for over 20 years now. So there isn't much that really lives up to my standards here on NGs. The piano here does not wow me really, but it does get the job done. It's simple and affective, and I can respect that. So decent job with the piano.

The pads are a lot like the percussion, stereotypical and bland. But they fill up space, and that is what they are there for right?! ;-)

The synths you used were decent. There is one that reminds me slightly of a moog that I like to distort a lot. So it made me smile.

4/5 and 7/10 overall. For the genre this is decent, but nothing mind shattering. All in all nice work here.
