not bad
this is a fairly good song but as everyone says it's not industrial. I did like the song but it is a trance song. overall you did ok. the song isn't quite as bad as the others say, however they do make some good points.
4/5
Reviews for "-Frenzy-"
Hmmm...
I'll forget that this is in pretty much no way industrial (it's more like electro house with trancey synth presets) and tell you what I honestly think of it.
(Brace yourself, btw.)
Overcompressed. Not the punchy and powerful overcompressed sound typical of electro house stuff. It's the all too common "I put too much reverb and delay on everything and didn't really think about the levels and it started clipping so I threw a default compressor preset on the master bus" sound.
The drums and chord progressions are uninspired even for dance music. The sounds you used have no real personality, they're nothing that hasn't been heard on this site a thousand times before. Okay, so technically the composition isn't bad but it's very bland and forgettable and those preset sounds do nothing to aid the replayability.
Don't get me completely wrong now, there are some good ideas in here (e.g. the bassline rhythm is pretty neat) but the main problem here is the lack of originality and dynamic variation. I mean, post-compression I can pull the play marker to any random part of the song and with few exceptions it will be the have the same volume and tonality. You know how to use automation so use it more liberally and in more appropriate places! Cutoff fade on the square lead at the end is ugly unless you fade the volume out some before it gets to the point where the cutoff value hits the sound's fundamental frequency.
Fair enough, dull and insipid trance/dance/whatever tracks on NG are a dime a dozen and I'm not this harsh on all of them. It's pretty clear that you're at a stage where you should know what you're doing but for whatever reason you've not really made any ground with this new track.
Genre fail...
Not even close to industrial. For what it really is it's alright. Nothing I haven't heard a billion times before but this is not even a little bit industrial.
its good wolf boy but..
your material is good but i agree with all others; its not industrial, its not frenetic (the name wont fit properly) but still is a good pice of work but hey im newbie so shouldn listen to me!!!
Ookami-Kun responds:
Hm, I can see where you're coming from with this, make no mistake - but industrial is a wider genre than many people believe. Granted, this track is not my most Industrial work, but I'd put it under that genre because the majority of my stuff could be classed as electro-industrial.
I suppose I've kinda slipped more into the electro/ebm side of things here, but unless this becomes a trend I think I'll leave it in industrial.
Also, 'frenzy' can refer to a temporary state of madness or delirium as well as the more common definition of violent behaviour, the delirium was more what I was aiming for here, and I like to think I've captured that pretty well.
Besides, Frenzy's a more exciting name :P
Thanks for the review anyway, sorry about my rant.
ME LIKE
it sounds more ebm i think and very nice to listen to
