But on a serious note, sick track, man. Good to see you're still posting stuff. I'm just now starting to post music back on here, too.
If you're down for a collab or something, let a homie know.
Reviews for "Homecoming"
Hell yeah.
Always a pleasure checking out your stuff. Props.
Oh wow, what a unique sound. I love the instruments you use in the intro's melody, and I'd like to hear more of that in the future.
Seems like there's something missing after 1:17 though. The new melody and instruments seem too simplistic and repetitive. Right about 3:47 you reintroduced the into melody as a contrasting motif, and I think it worked very well. Maybe the song would have been more interesting if you had used this dichotomy more often.

Are you a musician?
Just wondering because it's rare to see someone on newgrounds that uses terms that you hear often when studying music theory.
I agree with 1:17, it's really simple and repetitive but in electronic music is really common to use those kind of one-note motif and people likes it because it gives that "Badass" ambiance.It sets the mood from 0 while increasing the tension with risers and fills then deliver more impact with the chorus.
Thanks for the review.
Glad you're back!
First of all, props on the track. I really enjoyed listening to it.
I think you did a really good job on the mastering, maybe a bit harsh on the highs, but it might be my speakers playing a trick on me... dunno.
I must say I really liked how the track starts. Smooth, gets into different tastes and brings different things in.
The vocal sample was really unexpected haha, I thought it wouldn't drop for a second... seems it did, awesome! Playing with people's minds is exactly what makes a really clever breakdown and instant adrenaline right after.
The whole chorus bit was simple, but was just perfect. No need to be over-elaborate. Breakdowns are actual breakdowns and not just the same melody transposed into another octave/key or maybe the same thing playing on other lighter instruments. You brought in a completely different synth to play a slower melancholic bit, and bam! Epic!
The ending... well a classic decrescendo of intensity, not much to say about it. I could have seen something slightly different there, but fits nevertheless.
Overall good track, exciting, but could be improved on some ends, mixing wise and maybe in the end too. I'm not really sure how, but it feels like something's off or missing, it just feels too classic, nothing really interesting or new to give you that weird but refreshing aftertaste.
On a more personal note, thanks for coming back. I always enjoyed your new tracks so far, can't wait to see more!

Thanks for the review!
The intro and the ending are like that for a reason.It gives time to the DJ to start beat-matching the track before it reaches the build and the ending is for letting him know that the track is gonna end.
These are called DJ friendly intros and outros.Check the popular tracks on beatport or itunes, you'll notice they all do this thing.
Cheers
