That was amazing. Reminded me a lot of some of Trent Reznor's solo instrumental work. I have a few points that I think would make the song a lot better though.
1. Too many repeats. There are basically five parts: The piano, the bass, the voice, the fx synth, and the beat. They repeat too many times, and there's no real reason for this song to be 4 minutes long. Compress it.
2. Make the cymbal tap less sharp (To keep the tone smoother), and don't bring it in immediately (For progression).
3. Hold off on the fx synth until the end, when you bring everything together.

This is a cool song. The distorted kick really adds to the raw feel. I didn't really like the clicking off beat, though the rhythm was good, it just annoyed me. The thing about the song that I didn't like was the scattered arrangement of instruments. The parts came in, then left and were never heard of again. Add some more call backs and take away newer instruments, such as the one that comes in on 1:42.
I'm not familiar with the program, so I wouldn't be able to give you any other crits. cheers.

Thanks for the review
This was made on a PSP so the instruments weren't that great
I guess you right about the new instruments
Thanks for the 7

"Nice dragging and dropping skills there..."
You have really nimble fingers there. I mean, it does take a lot of skill to place a Garageband loop in a timeline...

You'd be surprised, the good lord only blessed me with pointy and thumb-pinky.
Anyway I've only just started learning so I don't expect any praise. You might want to work on that anger management or you'll end up pushing your mom down the stairs, if she's still alive.

This is tasty for my ears. Its so dissonant and full of little bits that give the song a great feel. It really didn't need to go on for so long, but I still love it.

Appreciate it. This was originally going to be a song, with singing, but I could never come up with lyrics that I felt fit with the song.

If only it went on longer. The feel of this song is amazing. I could listen to this for hours. The build is perfect, and when the bass drum kicks in at 34, its just killer. I'll have to check out the rest of these songs. Cause for a 1 day song, this is fantastic.

I'd have made it longer if it was a song every to days haha :P
Thanks man!

Press down on the strings maybe? Strumming muted strings really isn't playing.

3.4 my ass. This song is amazing. The sound quality is fantastic, and nothing can beat that chorus, specially that guitar lick. Made me shit my pants.

That beat was kickass. I would've however, made the original synth a little more treble centered, I think that would've pushed it over the edge. But it builds perfectly, and the flow feels great. I prolly would've just put some sort of amp sim over the lead synth.

Yeah.

Liked the original better. Though this song had a stronger beat, it totally lost the distortion and grit that made me like the first one. If you had just added the beat to the old one, it would've been phenomenally better.
Author's Response:
Yeah, I just tried some harmonizing.
And kinda changed some things up a bit.
Well, can't win everyone?
