Intro is not bad, chords are a tad too jumpy for my taste, but it settles down quite well. Drums are cool, very "chillin". Love the instrument that's just sitting in the background at around 1 min. Atmosphere effects are good. Piano has a nice, almost "rubato" feel to it, a bit of a soft surging effect. Wobbly synth sounds awesome, used to great effect. End is nice, smooth. Lovely tune here, SBB. Professional sounding. Great work. I'll give it a 9/10 and 5/5 for ya.
And is it too much to ask you to check out my last track?
Cheers.

Sounds are very reserved, by that I mean that they stay in their comfort zone. It sounds nice, but doesn't go for the "wow factor" type thing, but that's cool since you're going for the menu music sort of thing. It's a nice piece, I like it. I'll 5 it for ya ;D

Nice intro. I'm liking the beat that comes in at 53 secs. The mix of synths is good. Progression is smooth, a little snazzy. Lead at around 2.20-ish is a little too soft, I think, it'll sound really awesome pushed up in the mix more. Also, I'd like to see the chorus type synths pushed up at the end, so it would finish on a grand, almost epic note. I think it ends too abruptly also, maybe finish with a long note ringing out, that'd sound pretty cool. Overall, it's a great piece, reading your comments, the impression I get is of a futuristic, kind of science fiction city landscape, it'd work great in a sci-fi movie soundtrack.
Sounds very professional. Great job. I'll help you boost the score with a 5, how's that sound? ;D

It sounds pretty good despite the obvious use of programmed guitars. Lead is cool, that part is the most impressive part of the song. Love the dirty punk/metal types sounds you've got going here. It'd sound awesome with live guitars and maybe some cool vox.
Nice work. I'll fifen it.

Yeah, my original intention was to wait until I got home to record with my electric guitar, but I just couldn't wait! Plus, the shitty Comp. Mic I have would DEFINITELY not record that hard pumping sound I wanted for this.
Thanks for your review!

But it just needs more of that techno vibe to be awesome. It sounds a bit empty with the bass and lead and drums all rather static, need something other than cheering to fill in the gaps and turn this into a memorable techno song. I'll give you a 4 though.

It's pretty well played out. It's a great song, but it doesn't exactly blow me away if you know what I mean, there's something, but I just can't quite put my finger on it...
Love the synth though, it sounds real nice, I'll give you that. The orchestra is real sweet. I love this sort of mood, I guess you could say, in a piece of music. I'm kind of like you in that sense that my music has a dark sort of feel to it even if it wasn't intentional, and that change is just refreshing, it's great to go with that sometimes. I'm gonna give you 5, for the loss of sleep over the making of this, that tells me that you worked hard at it and you're proud of it, as you should be. Good job.

:D thank you! well when i first made this, i amazed myself a bit since ive always wanted to acomplish those kind of melodies but i cant really seem to get them right always.. so to me when i made it i was blinded by love..or..uh, something like that. when i went over it again after not beeing so hyped, i perfectly saw what you mean by that theres something lacking. and i hope that the update im making on it is gonna change that :D i guess my music comes from my mood so beeing gloomy for a long time kinda made me forget that what i really like is this. heh.. it just feels too cheezy listening to similar stuff when youre feeling down you know? its like i get embarased or something.. guess you need to be.. "up there" to truly enjoy happy go lucky tunes ;P thaks for the thick review! <3

Wow, this is awesomeness. Definitely most original spin on jingle bells I ever heard, sounds like it's from some hellbent christmas videogame (santabro and his child slave factory?)
Yup, it's definitely full of that wonderful christmas spirit everyone keeps talking about =P
The rhythms and the pitch bending makes it sound so weird, but also very cool. But that's the sorta thing you need to do for chiptunes to stand out in the crowd.
5'd it.

complement the song mighty finely.
People should totally have to sing this song before they're allowed to place an order for muffins in a muffin shop =P
It's even yummier than before.
Lyrics are rule 10.

Best bit is when you get into the real badass bass from 24 seconds to the end. Full of yummy muffiney bass frequencies.
I'll fifen it for ya.
3.95/5.00 to 4.06/5.00
Also, LOL
Author's Response:
The bass was created from muffin death-cries.
It was painful to listen to at first...but then I remembered rule 10.
:D
