Reviews for "X3ll3n - Crisis"

Nice job on this one!
Well put together house/dance song!
Again, maybe a little sidechain would be helpful here, giving those drums some punch.
Nice job, though :)

I made my Follow Me remix the same way as this one, that's why both haven't got much sidechain x)
Glad to hear that you liked it c:

I like the pads at the beginning. The drums are a little generic, and I would’ve liked to hear a more distinct intro before you launch into a really energetic part of the song. There’s a good sense of climax into 1:15, but the melodies get repetitive and the structure of this piece isn’t very well fleshed-out. I would’ve liked to see you create more structural contrast here, likely via an atmospheric breakdown or bridge. The sound design and arrangement of the piece are also pretty cliche. Lastly, the clap at 1:45 has way too much reverb. Overall, I like the production quality, harmonic framework, atmosphere, and rhythmic components. Making some more original instrumentation choices and fleshing out the composition would really help out this piece, though. Keep at it, X3LL3N! :)

Thank you for the review ! :D
I was pretty proud of it at the time and I still kinda am to be honest.
I'm improving day after day hopefully :)
