A typical rock song. First try at more than one guitar melody playing out.

Great work here SawDust

Really delivers that simple little beat with minimal effort, very nice job.

Guitar: The main star of this song and really love how it keeps delivering a funky chorus every time the bass drums come in.

Bass: Very simple and groovy beat.

Drums: Nice little beat there.

Overall: Incredible beat, nice work.

Thanks, not a lot of effort on this indeed.

Rather generic

Sadly, it seems as if everything that you've used here is too generic to work it into the Rock Genre properly. Personally, I view it as "pop-rock", which is the manufactured stuff that gets to the top of the charts, occasionally actually beating some of the manufactured garbage that people who watch X-Factor are told to like.

With the way that the piece is put together, it sounds like you really need some vocals to take this piece further. As it currently stands, you've got a nice sound, but it really does sound manufactured. The guitars need to sound like they can carry the tune and it needs to all become more tied in together as the constituent parts keep handing control over to each other, as opposed to blending in nicely with the rest of the piece.

Sawdust responds:

I suppose the rhythm needs more bass, and the bass should be brought down, and the lead should be distorted. And vocals, vocals would be nice. I'll attempt, or at least imagine how this could turn out if it were better. Thanks for the honesty, too.

Lacking innovation.

Hello,

I must say this really felt like something I've listened to many times before,
it's not that it was bad, but it did feel boring. The length is another issue I have with this piece as it felt about 1:30 sec too long. It could have also used some dynamic sounds to spice things up a bit.

I feel I need to reiterate the performance of music wasn't bad, but when everyone is doing the same thing it gets monotonous to listen to something that's very similar to the other submissions in the same genre.

I will say one thing in your defense, at 0:52 sec you did have a moment of chaotic energy that I did like... I just wish the whole song could have kept that kind of energy.

Sincerely,
- Celx

Sawdust responds:

Yeah, it is a rather generic song. Not much life or anything, I should probably do something about that, but hey, remixing and adding more melodies isn't very easy, especially if you're terribly uninspired.

Thanks for the good feedback though.

Nice song title

Well, luckily it's not only the song title that's nice. The song is pretty nice as well.

Drum intros are (nearly) always cool and it's cool here as well. The main riff of the guitar sounds very good and catchy, the second guitar sounds a bit strange... I think it's a bit too loud compared to the other instruments.
But the second guitar plays some very ncie stuff as well.

However, I think this song needs better mixing. As I've written, the second guitar is very loud and it even overpowers the drums. The bass is pretty much drowned between the other instruments after the intro. It can only be heard occasionally in the rest of the song.

Sawdust responds:

Yeah, but I think that my mixing attempts would be futile due to my speakers being crap. And the second guitar was just a clean amp with wah effects.
