Reviews for "Nav - Annoying Shit"

Epic

Damn sick track. Haven't heard such a trampling gabber intro in a while now. The kick you used is truly epic, just the right amount of stomp and punch that every gabber kick needs. In fact, it's so epic it actually intrigued me so much that I'm writing my first review after a while now. ;D

So, from the top: the intro was really energetic, it was an obvious sign of the sickness to come after it. The "Dumb and Dumber" sample was pure awesome, and the way you used it reminded me a tad of a gabber track off of one of the Thunderdome cds, but I really can't remember the name at the moment. I personally love the use of such screams/screeches/overall noise in music, so it worked like a charm. Both the pitch modification and the repetition of the sound were really satisfying, probably meaning you really did cut the sample at that exact sweet spot. XD

At 1:29, I'd have to say you let it go way too soft way too fast. The progression was dark enough to sound good, but the sound of the choir didn't really suit the general feel of the song up to that point (just an opinion, of course). It's just that the kind of sound isn't exactly what I'm used to hearing in this sort of music, so I suppose it came as sort of a surprise.

The lead at 2:02 was a welcome refreshment after the more calm part before it, because it seemed to fit the general aggressive feeling that I believe was created during the beginning of the song (let's face it: that kick wasn't made to cuddle with fuzzy animals).

It's melody was also good, and it gave a new dimension to the song, because the kick-less section allowed the melody's bass notes to come out into the open; however, I did not think the continuation of the melody on the piano fits in at all. The bass notes of the entire melody were sounding as though they tried to be diverse, but ended up repeating too many times one after the other, which sounded slightly... well, annoying. That's pretty much the only thing that I found a decent enough reason for this track to justify it's title.

So, I'd say that overall, it's a really good song, but you may have gone a bit better off with some more simplistic, aggressive sections instead of inserting the slightly trance-ey choir part and piano melody. Perhaps some would see that as an attempt to fit as much as possible within the boundries which many people imagine when they think of gabber, but I find that it could use some more of that. Still, you definitely get plus point for a less common approach to the song, so I can hardly take it against you. The song is truly high-quality material, and the things I disliked are truly just a matter of personal preference, so I don't really think you should lose any of the 10 shiny stars because of it.

Great job, and keep up the awesome work!

Nav responds:

Thanks for the review! :)

Let me justify a few things :P

First off: The choir, as much as you might doubt it, became a staple of the genre. I've been listening to too much nu style =\... But if you were raised on Thunderdome, I can see why it might seem out of place! :)

Also, this is a track meant to be DJ'd, so that sudden point is when the DJ crosses the fader completely, or completely phases out the other track... It's basically something that has to be there, otherwise I would probably have started the track with the choir and the vocal sample.

Secondly: I agree, the piano doesn't fit. I'm working on a remix to make it easier to DJ, and the piano is gone. However, I'm having trouble figuring out what to put in it's place =\

Thanks for the detailed review! I might throw one back later today, if I feel up to it.
