Wow!
Another great piece of art, its gonna make people jump out of their chairs and start to dance. The only minor flaw was that the chorus wasnt long enough, the start was too long to get to the chorus
Reviews for "{Lazy Summer Days}"
Excellent.
It was a little repetitive, but still awesome. Good to see some variety in your stuff. 4/5'd.
Nice.
Sweet song dude. The beginning felt so mellow and calm. Good piano plugin you got here. The beat was a little repetitive, but it's ok. Cool bass too. It's sort of like the one you have in you Glind song, except lighter. Nice choir thing. Overall, nice job! Keep up the good work!

Fuckin' weird.
I hate to say this, but it's not really unique. In fact, it's quite far from that :( If you wanna do something unique, you add new elements to the track, not change the arrangement of the track. Actually, scratch that. If you wanna make something unique, don't make trance :P The genre's been done to shit, and there's nothing new to add anymore...
I suppose that you're trying to mislead the crowd that this is a small part of a song that is 1 million minutes long with the fade in and the fade out. Personally I just think that means that you were too lazy to make a shorter version.
The song was very well EQed and the compression was great. No real complaints there.
The melody wasn't something you could whistle, and to me, that's what a melody should be. Something you can remember and whistle to while you work. And if you can't have that kind of melody (like you've got here), you need a singer. At least try to vocode your own voice or something. There was a few notes during the end of the melody just sounded weird! It was in the right scale and everything but it just... didn't sound right. I dunno. I don't wanna count it out and tell you which 8th note it was in the 4th measure, so I guess I'm gonna have to let it slide with you this time ;)
The drums and bass were so ridiculously boring, and this coming from a drum 'n bass artist. Tsk tsk, sir. You had breaks in all the right places with the drums, but they weren't NEW breaks. They weren't the kind of break that robots dance to and then when that break omes they go "holy shit that was awesome I wanna listen to that ONE part of the song a million times over and make a new fuckin' dance move to that ONE part". You've gotta have some awesome shit like that with your drum work. As for the bassline, I really feel like tapping your nose and calling you a bad dog >:( Offbeat? Dude. Even the synth you used was cliche.
Gah. It's a good song, but it pisses me straight off when it sounds exactly like something I'd hear if I turned on a trance station. You have nothing in this song that says "hey, I'm cornandbeans! You can tell because of that one thing that I do in nearly every one of my songs and it sounds fucking sweet!".
Oh well man. Good work. Keep it easy;

PS: Try to make some Goa sometime, and I'll be sure to write you another long review if you do :D I remember one time you said you liked Goa, so why not try to make some?
cornandbeans responds:
well you see
in happy hardcore it would sound really weird if I tried to pull of some kind of noisia break... and the bassline is really thick so even if I tried one of those4/4 based goa/trance basslines it would muddy up the mix...
i mean if I was doing dnb that would be perfectly cool but since I'm making happy hardcore I kinda have to keep it simple and stupid and focus more on the sound of the sample and the melody :P
took me like 2 hours to make the drums, dead serious.
I see where you're coming from, and those are some of the most prominent complaints about this genre... Happy hardcore really isn't a highly technical genre, but whatever :P
Thanks for the review man, and I'm working on a goa song as we speak :D
Euphoric
Damn man, this starts out slow and smooth, then when the full song hit, I just broke into a grin. Keep this up, and pretty soon NG won't be enough for you. Cheers.
