"Soon™" — the Manager
I like the groovy synth patterns and upbeat mood. The song is mastered very loudly and has a great atmosphere about it. I enjoyed the melodies at :28, but I thought you could’ve done more with the rhythm there. The section at :51 offers a good sense of structural relief, and you do a great job of building back up to a full texture from there. The melodies were a little too quiet at 1:14, though, and the bass is perhaps too loud throughout the piece. The piece has an amazing smoothness and flow to it, and the echo at the end seemed more than appropriate. I supposed I would’ve liked to see more of a memorable melody in there, though. The melodies as they are a bit too frantic and arpeggiated to stick in my mind as they are, I think. Perhaps you could have emphasized such a melody by playing the dreamy pad at 1:26 by itself during some sort of breakdown section. Even so, I suppose the fast pace of this piece renders your melodic decisions fitting. The moodiness of this piece is definitely my favorite part. It’s catchy and energetic, yet has a breathtaking atmosphere. Keep up the great work, Noisysundae! :D
9.5/10

Can't say that much about the bass. Some prefer it at this amount, others don't. And possibly because it's mostly constant notes, opposite of those complex bass melodies I usually make. Another bad thing is that I can't trust my ears when listening to the bass. If you have time to listen to 'Bittersweet', you'll see that the bass there is a lot lighter. :P
Perhaps it's the detuned saw that makes this piece too frantic as you described. That's also why I don't consider this a liquid DnB.
Other than that, I agree to every point you've made. It's quite a dilemma for me when I'm gonna make atmospheric music but not sure if some parts should have more melodies in it. Glad to see you loved this sundae. You faved it, yay!
The drums didn't really stand out compared to the pad. The transition at 1:15 wasn't that smooth. But the vocals reminded me of the Ezios family song.
Noisysundae responds:
Lol, Didn't think of Ezio's family. Anyway, this is just a synth, no match for the real vocal. ;w;
If you compare between the vocal at 0:28 and 1:39, you'll see that I've ramped up the vocal. According to this review, I shouldn't have done that. (Silly me)
Either way, I welcome any review as long as it isn't rude. Thanks a bunch man. :)
The glitchy arp at the end was killing me! Nice chill track with a legit wallpaper to go with! :)
Noisysundae responds:
Ah, thanks man. I thought the end was too off-beat. :P
Great! Reminds me of the bumper car level in Sonic Adventure :)

You mean Twinkle park? That "Woohoo" sound annoys me. :P
