Awesome
I really like classical songs, they kind of animate me, it animated me, I just don't know why!!
The piano is very well aplicated, that's a nice adding to the music, it's vital for a classical song, the feeling the music passed me is unbeliaveble, it has true work in it, I loved the touching beat the music have!!
Cofngratulations, I expect to hear more ftom you and LubLub!!

Thanks a bunch, Roger! Yep, I love me some pianos. I wouldn't say they're vital, but any song with a piano in it makes me appreciate that much more. Glad to hear you enjoyed it :)
Nicely done.
I like the start, it's got a quiet, but epic feel to it. I think the feeling of distance you get with the choir sound is pretty cool, but that it needs to be a touch louder in general just so it's a little easier to pick the notes up.
The drums at 0:50 are pretty cool, I like the subtle change of pace there, as well.
The piano in general is easily the best part of the first half; the melody's pretty melancholy, but you get the odd glimpse of major chords which just lift the mood of the piece up a little, in a pretty awesome way.
The change of timing at 1:24 vaguely confused me the first time, as with no reference other than the piano chords it was a little hard to guess when the next notes were coming. I can't tell whether that's a good thing or a bad thing, I guess you'll have to judge for yourself. :P
1:38, I think the bass could definitely use being turned up a little louder. When the guitar comes in, the feedback at 1:49-1:52 made me think it would come in a lot stronger than it did, so it felt a little anticlimactic. Though that being said, I think the guitar overpowers the piano a little too much. What both parts are playing is certifiably awesome, I hasten to add, but I think it could be a little more equal, level-wise.
The transition at 2:26, while a little abrupt, is pretty cool and ends the piece in a nice way. My one peeve about the end is the final chord of the chimes, I think it's a little heavy handed for an ending; even if you arpeggiated it a little I think it'd be noticeably better. But in general, this is a pretty awesome piece. Definitely think about collaborating more, eh?

Hey, thanks for the review! I'm just speaking for myself right now, hopefully I can represent Lublub as well.
The reason I had the choir turned down is that, along with the rest of the instruments, there was very little else going on other than whole notes. I didn't want to increase the volume of something that I felt was interesting enough to stand out to the ears. I do see your point, though.
At 1:24, I guess that would be confusing, dropping everything except the bare piano chords. That was where Lublub started the breakdown / buildup for the orchestral rock deal, and I felt it was a good idea to leave a change there to keep people on their feet. I guess there could have been some rhythm instruments playing, but I personally have grown too used to that to change.
Then at 1:38... that's something I never thought about. The bass was at that volume so it could have a good deal of space to crescendo into the guitar part, but now that I look back we could have had it turned up, then done a forte-piano there. Good point. Then when the guitar came in... it does cover up the piano, but by the time that part was written, I assumed the listener would think the piano part was old news. Thus not minding it being overshadowed by the guitar, which was what we were set of featuring there.
I also agree about the chimes, I originally had them arpeggiated, but after experimenting I felt that a chord would give an extra punch at the end and never turned down the velocity. It might sound just as good arp-ed, as you said.
Glad you liked the song, though! I've taken away that in the future, I should pay more attention to balancing out tempo changes, and volumes between instruments. I'll try to keep a closer eye on these things the next time we collab. Thanks for the review!
Fuck
Fuck it's so good all i think it needs is vocal

Thank ya mister :D It would be sweet if we could get a vocalist, but I don't think either of us have access to one... thanks for the suggestion though.
Amazing.
I dare you guys to be any better. I double dog dare you.
Oh wait. No. It's impossible.
This is incredible. Good work. Make an album together, please.
Aw, shucks :3 I'm always glad to hear great feedback. We can still be more awesome than this, even little things like my ability to organize the files.
I'd love to make an album of collabs, whether it takes us all year or not >:) I'll see what's up.
We rock.
Pretty much nothing more needs to be said.
We rock, and we should collab all the more.
We rock more than a landslide of boulders. We rock more than a field of asteroids. We rock... a lot.
I say definitely. We need to collab our hearts out and then collab our livers out... perhaps that's too much. But yes. I see many a collab in the future :D
