[Close Your Eyes]

catchy beat at the start! it feels like it's turning into a whole new song at 0:45 :S you should have kept going

VortexVisionz responds:

Thanks! I created that song in about 2 or 3 hours. After that I kinda got lazy and decided to just keep it simple and leave it as is. Although I had the same thought.. I shouldve kept going with it lol. Ah well.. too late now

[Syringe]

not too sure what to think about this piece..... it feels like it keeps wanting to take off, but never does. the bass guitar never really kicks in. some tempo issues too..........but hey! I get the buckethead vibe, man

VortexVisionz responds:

Yeah i made that song a long time ago. I recorded the whole song in one take and added a few things here and there so I didnt plan it out too well at the time. Im glad you think it sounds similar to Buckethead though because thats what I was shooting for and its also who I take after whenever I play guitar!

[Show Me Machine]

It's a bit repetitive, but you add some melodies and harmonics on top of another, and it gives it enough dimension. and yeah, then the vocoder kicks in, and it makes it awesome! I'm not familiar with the term "pulse bass". Can you help me?
and sorry about your mum

73Quantum responds:

Thanks mate! I'm also not sure about pulse bass, that was in another users review. Thanks a lot for your review, means a lot to me :)

[Pab bad]

EXPOSURE!!!!!!!!! I like the song, i'd picture myself in a movie, walking home on the sidewalk after I just got this new job I dreamed of

Nothins responds:

gotta be fresh and shiet naw what me sayin wit dem shoes and the junk my nigg (To have that nice dressed up suit and tie nice shiny shoes look you know. I get what you mean

[Lower your Weapon]

the tracks are blending in strangely together... the piano has lots of echo on it, it's very vapory, but then the synths kick in and they sound too close, too tight compared to the piano.... and you should have kept the faster beats going longer, I think it slowed down too much halfway.

T-rebel responds:

I'm always appreciative of reviews, but I really don't understand most of what you wrote. I can understand how you feel about the beats, though, but I guess it's a difference in taste; I wanted to slow the track down for a minute after the beat cut out during that choral section, and then pick it back up for the finale.

[Krrrtzzzptapa Pt. 1 & 2]

you schizo :)

[Bane Of Blood]

du guh du guh du guh du guh du guh du guh du guh du guh badabada boom da da du guh du guh du guh du guh ling ling ling... dood, this is fucking nasty!! :) i prefer the staggered and rapid riffs to the more melodious parts, even though they sound epic... but those riffs remind of meshuggah!! you probably hear that a lot! there's a little breakdown part in the middle that sounded a little weird, though. but yeah, the rest is awesome. you know your metal, and it's good that you put in some theory in there, with unusual time signatures...anyway, i could go on and on...... I'm having a hard time picturing vocals on top of that though... I say leave it as it is. the whole thing sounded very proggy, and it's hard to put in a proper verse and chorus when the rhythm changes so much like that

JDawg00100 responds:

Funny thing about that, is my project name for the song was Baw Buh Bum because that's what I would say when trying to vocally mime the first guitar riffs haha. I don't actually listen to a lot of Meshuggah to be honest, maybe I should. Thanks for the listen, i'm glad you enjoy the song :P

[Robotic Checkup]

you needed to add a solid bassline in there at some point.... I'd go fuckin ape shit and dance on that thing! :) I love pixel music, but you need a whole lotta bottom!

[Burley - Back In The 80's]

that little congo drum bitty bit sounds a bit off to me. AND it goes throughout the whole thing :( starting at 1:20, I don't know if it's electric guitar, but that added a nice touch.... and woah, it just stops so abruptly.
