Well there was nice review but thking id like to say more else
so
what i relly dislike - main instrument is placed in right chanell. Like drill. In one ear.

Harp is relly great here, but i dislike tranporations @1:42 and @1:45. Its suddenly enouht Bad work here rlly
but there nice realisation @0:56
elso "suddenly" to here drums @2:25? Its good solution at all but somethint wrong exacly at 1st drums @2:25-2:26, later - OK. May be other samoles or play with volume fading
Ending @3:09 ... not bad.. but .. boring a litle
And yes, 1:49 to 2:40 - is exelent! Its just rlly catching.

Erso responds:

I don't remember doing panoram in the drill channel [GMS plugin] actually, but it might sound like that because it's thrown off by other instruments taking priority in the first ear when the drill goes to second. I don't know.

1:42 to 1:45 - I was waiting for anyone to say anything about this transition, because it is absolute s..t. I just created a pattern and I didn't know how to make a buildup to it so here's what we got :/

Sudden drums in 2:25 are the same sudden drums around the beginning. This was the same pattern.

Ending is ending actually, it's a smooth falldown after the intense movement in the track I think. But I might be wrong.

And thank you for your review too!

Its okay in my opinion. Although better than what I can make, there were a few things in the song that stuck out. One was that the beginning classical part feels a bit off if you know what I mean. It feels awkward in a way, and the strings feel too short. So generally, I didn't really like the beginning parts, (and some of the later parts where this is used). However, when the music nears its climax, the whole track generally sounds much better. Some very small things like the organ at 0:41, and the harp / string-like instrument at 0:43 and 1:35 add a very nice touch to the music. The bassline is pretty good sounding, although not as aggressive as I hope it would be. 1:49 to 2:13 is easily my favorite part of the whole song. It gives me such a serene and happy-go-lucky emotion, and is overall a nice mix of orchestral and electric themes. 2:13 onward is the same portion as the beginning. At the second drop I believe at 2:41, it sounds interesting. The pad at 2:52 is sooooo perfectly timed. Overall, the second drop is kind of like the first, however, it isnt exactly the same rehashed thing, so it doesnt seem repetitive. Then, the end of the song starts at 3:09, and although it uses the melody that I criticized in earlier parts of the song, I feel it seems more necessary here as it is a simple end to the song, so a melody like this makes good sense.
The mixing here is top point. No dissonances and such, (Unlike a certain song that may or may not be Pirate Bossfight). Also, the song stays non repetitive throughout, and also at the same time, it has a constant melody.
Overall, the song is okay in my opinion, actually a little above average. Also, I wouldn't call this dubstep as the drops and bassline are pretty weak and quiet unlike in a typical growling, and angry Xtrullor piece. I would call this a hybrid of orchestra and probably a standard electronic genre. Its not really dubstep though. Although, I may be stereotyping the genre of dubstep at this point.

I hope you take this comment as sonething constructive, and that you improve. I hope i did not hurt you in any way. I truly want you to get better, just like you did to me. So thanks. :)

Wow. I had never seen such reviews until this one under my works. Thank you for taking the time to write this. Yeah, I admit I stink at making angry bass/sound effects yet simply because I haven't learned enough how to use them. For now it's just kind of dumbstep 8)

The beginning parts, yeah, they do stick off of the rest of the song. Even the 'Unstable' thing doesn't help here. (I guess?)

And yes, thanks for your constructive review. This will help me a lot when I'll make my new work. ;)

For a first try, it's pretty great. I really like the vibe the song gives. Great stuff!

Awesome!

Erso responds:

Thanks! Finally some feedback. :)
