Fuck me...
I haven't seen you in ages man. Nice to see you back around.
Overall the tune is great, but I think that the lead tone was a little weak. Could have used a bit more drive. I think it would have made it sound smoother in the end.
Anyway, I'll say it again, it's nice to see you kicking around again.
Hey man, good to hear from you! And thanks for the review, and advice; you've recorded and posted a lot on here and I respect your opinion.
Finding the right balance for the lead tone and the lead volume was a constant wrestling match. I wanted to keep the gain high but not overbearing to make sure the fast notes still sounded clearly, and that the runs didn't get lost in gain saturation. I did double all the melody and leads, playing the on the neck pickup and then on the bridge pickup to thicken it up.
Fucking sweet
Really like the riffs in this one man. Plus it was cool to hear you play a "normal" solo, haha. I don't have much criticism, but I will say that the solo that comes in at about 2:34 would have sounded better played on a keyboard. It sounded cool with a guitar, but for some reason I just pictured it as a keyboard solo. You should really try to find a guy to play keys for you.
Anyway man, that's about all I have to bitch about. Hope to actually hear a finished version sometime. Maybe I'll actually get around to finishing something as well, hahaha.
Nice!
Sounds pretty badass man. I do somewhat agree with Bard about the vocals. Though I think changing them up slightly at the end would be enough to make it seem less repetitive. Maybe have the the first two words of the first two lines be more background vocals and have "the end" and "destroy you" really pop out. Also maybe layer another vocal track for the "fuck you all" parts. A nice low one to make it more brutal. Anyway, just my thoughts from a couple o flistens.
Thanks for the review man!
Yeah, I was actually going to go back and do some really low ones, but I was in a hurry: I had to leave to go hang out with my dad. So they'll have to wait until Monday.
Thanks again, I appreciate it.
Hell yeah!
You by any chance want another guitarist for the rhythm? I'd love to cover this with you if you wouldn't mind. Either way though man, it should be badass.
Heck yes, it would be cool :). What part to you want to take ? *PM*
Thanks for the review bro \m/
Nice
Great tone in the tune man. I really can't think of anything to complain about aside from it not being longer. Hopefully you'll be able to find time to submit more often.
Also, congrats on joining the army.
Nice
Sounds pretty badass man. You're right about the brass, it could sound more agressive, but oh well. overall though I really like the track. If you can send me an flp for the guitars I could give them a go once I finish up some other shit. I'm too lazy to pick it up by ear unfortunately.
Hmm
Honestly it's not a bad idea, but the mixing really screwed up the song for me. The drums sound really weak and overall thin. Your guitar tone isn't too bad though. You should do some reading on how to use eq and compression for your drums. I think it'd really help the song if you could fix them. Good luck man.
I know how to EQ and stuff.
And I know the mixing is poor.
I'm no professional mixer or anything, yknow. ;)
I'm getting better though, gradually.
You'll hear with the next song that I upload.
Nice
I might be interested in throwing the drums together for you. What's the bpm you used? I also know a guy who has a perfect growl for this. I'll bring it up with him the next time I talk to him. Who knows, I may even feel like recording the bass. Nice playing by the way man. Oh, and to make this somewhat of a constructive review, your drums could use some better mixing. The kicks don't cut through that well. Your snare could also use some more attack to it from what I could hear.
Not bad
The playing isn't bad and the recording is decent, but I didn't like the mixing much at all. The guitars tower over the drums too much. With some adjustments like bringing the guitars down some and maybe lowering the crash cymbals as well. Mostly just trying to even things out with the kick and snare. With better mixing I think this would kick ass. I'll also try giving the vocals a shot. I just need to finish something for Sorohanro.
Yup, I'm still a mixing noob. Thanks for the review!
and yeah the playing gets pretty bad at places. Probably my worst yet lul
Awesome
Pretty badass man, I'll be taking a crack at it at some point. The riff that comes in at about :40 reminded me a lot of a riff in Deliverance from Opeth.
Go for it I am excited to hear everyone's take.
If any flash author's want some custom music for their flash just let me know. I'd be more than happy to try and help you out.
