Thank you for the 10.
Insane!
Incredible! Possibly one of the best songs on newgrounds!
Mrmilkcarton responds:
I wouldn't say that but I like the idea. Thanks.
woah...
Perfect as ever with the right amount touch of bump into the music dude im dacing like im a rave today! Ha, awsome and more spectacular job dude! I can't say how much I enjoyed this song dude. Adding to my fav. forever! Great dude, and great job cleaning up the "song" section of Newgrounds! This song does have the "energy" feel to it, but did want the song to be a little clearer, "such as the parts where the song is filled with bass, that all your hear is partial parts of the beat." Overall great job, and am dacing to this!
From best to worst,
helping society...

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Very Cool
This was preaty good and its a little repetative.
Mrmilkcarton responds:
Just a touch ;). Or more... I have my secrets of repetition.
Review time! :D
This is a really great song - it grew on me enough to make me download it earlier today. :D That, and I'm giving it my first review in a month... be thankful. :P
First off, the biggest problem I've got with this song is that it's got too much bass throughout - the bass synth sounds like it's filtered, and it feels like you threw an EQ on the Master channel, boosted the bass to ridiculous levels, then threw a compressor on there so it wouldn't distort (which is good - this is better than a song that distorts ridiculously). All I can say about that is this - imagine playing it loud on big speakers! XD It's bearable on my headphones, but it might make enjoying this song difficult for people listening to it with a subwoofer/in their car/etc. :\ With that out of the way, I'll go through the song section by section...
Introduction - it's hard to relate what the pad's playing to the later end of the song, does it even have anything to do with the melody or are you just having it play whatever? :P Either way it's hard to follow, and in turn hard to predict/expect the next section, which isn't really a good thing in my opinion...
Kick comes in and everything sounds nice and wavy, the sidechaining's great. Though every now and then you realize something bad about the mix... if I focus exclusively on the sawpad, the sidechaining begins to sound off. Listening to the drums, I can hear a really loud hihat panned to waaaaaay off to the right, which is annoying... :\ The clap is almost inaudible, and is there a ride hitting along with it or what? Try to make everything clean and audible, the concept here is great, but it's a mess. Transtion into the next section is weird, the filter wreaks havoc on the mix... be careful with them. ;)
Next section, the panning is even more obvious but the hihats quickly fade out. FX is amazing here... one of the best qualities of the song. :D It sounds vaguely familiar, though, have I heard it somewhere before? It might just be me. :P The break is probably the best part of the song - no mixing problems, and the progression's perfect, you know what to introduce and when. :D My favorite part would have to be the transition at 2:16 or so - clean pads, a moment of silence, then the bass joins the calmness, just as calm this time. ;) Kick comes in, it's filtered, I'm not so sure that was necessary considering the peak came right after that. :\ Couldn't you have done some sort of snare roll build or something?
The peak's amazing, you really SHOULD have done a proper buildup, the energy here's amazing. :D The lead synth playing along with the kick is a nice touch. The composition is great, my only complaint is the mix, which I mentioned two paragraphs ago. Right after the break, the composition is the second biggest strength of the song... way to go. :D Ahh... here's your snare roll! Took its sweet time. :)
That was kind of a cliffhanger ending, unfortunately... you could have picked up from there (if you had pulled it off after a few seconds of silence, that would have been even better :D) with a second break, built into a second peak, and then outroed the song at 7 or 8 minutes long. THAT would have been awesome. :D
I really enjoyed this one, this isn't one of my longer reviews, but hey, at least I reviewed in the first place. :D Overall, the concept is AMAZING, and the execution left some to be desired, but keep doing what you're doing, I see really good stuff coming from you in the future. >:) Reviewed 8/10, though I'll vote 5 anyway. :P Congratulations on Weekly 2nd, keep up the GREAT work!

Aye everything you said is right. I always think about these things after its all done and wish I had done something different. Always can improve the next one though.
