Reviews for Mellow Man

[ErikMcClure]

Very well done

This is a superbly executed song. It's got a catchy melody, an intro, a breakdown and an outro. Some of the production could use a little work, along with some very questionable use of drums during the quiet part. The synths are very creative, and overall this is a song that has a style all its own and is quite addicting.

I think the beginning synth could use a work since its just a generic saw pad and doesn't lend itself to the excellence that the rest of the song is. That is, until the end, at which point things start getting repetitive. I would also suggest that for the outro, that the drums get filtered out (or just stick in a final melody to finish off the song with). The panning is really good with the synth, but this doesn't transfer over to the drums, which are all completely mono. Some additional atmosphere would probably help the song out as well.

Overall, very good work.

8/10

Good

The melodies in this song are very great. They are catchy and original, I think I could listen to them the whole day and they wouldn't get boring.

However, the drums could use some more work, the kick sounds very weak and the drum pattern doesn't seem to change too much during the song.

Also the outro could use a little extra touch. I know it's kinda hard to find a good outro for a song, but I think a fade out might work quite well here. At least the cymbal at the very end of the song doesn't really fit there, so maybe it will already sound better if you would just leave that out.

Decent work...

Good work. A catchy melody and brilliant drum work. Nice synth work and fantastic melodies. An overall brilliant job. However, chord progressions tended to get slightly repetitive and the ending was slightly too abrupt. What i suggest is that u make either a fade out outro, or end it with an interrupted cadence to leave the user hanging.
