fresh as, man
really lush mix! sounds like between the buried and me having an orgy with the mars volta or something haha... maybe needs more understated reverb and less compressed-sounding drums - they're still really nice and dynamic though so maybe its not the compression that's bugging me... i think the snares just kinda SLAP too much for my liking. the kicks definitely need more light and shade, bit less click in the soft parts, nahmeen? anyway those are my only gripes, this is properly fantastic and i wish you the best of luck in the competition!
Reviews for "Chemicals [NGADM]"
Kor-Rune responds:
Thanks for the review! Yeah, I was pretty unsatisfied with the kick sound for the soft parts, and that I didn't take the time to nudge some of the key hits off time to humanize it up a little bit. I think you're right about the snare sound too, it's stiff and not as loose. I like my ghost notes to be wishy washy.
Also yeah, the compression doesn't work great with the robotic perfect timing drum hands, but deadlines and mixing, lol. Luckily I can still move it around to my liking, recording real drums has to be a -bitch-.
Thanks again for the review and constructive thoughts! It helps a lot man.
Wow this song is just something amazing!
All of it is spot on and fits together like a glove.
Even though it is all great i have to give a special note to the guitar guy being myself a guitar player, he is brilliant on this awsome piece.
Kor-Rune responds:
Thank you! I appreciate that you enjoy my playing, and the song!
That's crazy how much some parts of this song remind me franck zappa XD
Anyway, great composition, good lyrics and good mix of genre.
I like.
Kor-Rune responds:
Thanks for your kind words :>
And dude Zappa is the shit, fuck yeah. Plenty of inspiration from Frank!
Seems a sort of jazz-metal song. I must learn more English words to describe how much I love this piece, I think you used every instrument at its best. You make me want to buy a guitar only to play those riffs while I'm listening to this song! :)
The first time I listened to this song (last year) I didn't really get it. I listened to it off and on every few months, but it still didn't really click. I think something about the use of chords makes it hard to grasp onto for a dude like me who doesn't listen to much jazz.
Anyway, I just want to check in to say that I listened to it today and my mind was blown.
10/10, easy.
Kor-Rune responds:
Omg thank you johnfn, I appreciate the listen and review on this oldie c: congrats on your win!
