[Blank Stare (RD2010)- Japillow]

Good

I like it, and I see where you were going with the classical.
Only problem... it's not very "robot-y" if you catch my drift. It's just too smooth.
It's a good song, but I think you should add a tad more synth-sound and jerkiness to it.

Japillow responds:

Ya, I'm starting to think I shouldn't of entered this for Robot Day at all...my song OUTLAW is a lot more robotic if you care to listen to it. Thank you for the review!

[Rig - Sentience Loop]

Awesome

Kinda repetitive until the end, but still pretty cool.

It sounds like if you were to pour the Amazon Rain Forest into a garbage disposal.

Rig responds:

That would kinda hurt.

[RD2010 Robot Death Machine]

Very nice

Hilarious lyrics, nice idea, good tunes.
But like the others, I gotta mark this way down because of the sound quality. You can barely hear the individual sounds or lyrics.
Fun fact: This song has some very similar ideas to the song I'm planning to submit. Let's see how we do =)

Pure-Metal-UTA responds:

I have constantly been EQing this to try and get everything to sound good. So at this point, I have no idea how I would go about fixing everything to sound right.
Although When I listen to this with headphones, it sounds alot better.
But if you should listen to this with headphones, and it still doesn't sound good. Do you have any pointers in which I could use to fix this song and bring it to it's full potential?
Thanks!

[Hardcore LOOP!!]

Nice

My suggestion to you is to have a slower, quieter part in the middle. Sort of like a breakdown or a transition. It would make the song longer and more interesting.
Good job =)

DjDema responds:

Thanks man. It was just something I did out of boredom haha. Just a face-paced loop :P

[Nature Is The Law (WIP)]

Very neat :)

Reminds me of some Kingbastard songs.

I like the lyrics and the singing style (the way your tone shifts down in odd places).
Not much else I can say, because it's a pretty simple song overall. I like it. Maybe you could add some more lyrics, possibly modify the second and third versus from the first one.

StickyRemnant responds:

Cheers. Not heard of Kingbastard before. Will have to check him/them out.

About the lyrics, yea, I should have said that the lyrics aren't finished. Verse 2 and 3 will have their own lyrics by the time I come to finishing the recording

[keep a hater mad]

Pretty neat

Not a big fan of rap/hip hop type music, but this is pretty catchy. The lyric(s) are quite humorous for how simple they are... hopefully that's what you were going for.
Just a side note, that background beat pop/clicky noise that kinda descends down sounds like chuckling, and I like it. I don't think you were trying for that though.

[Melonpoly]

Like it

Sounded kinda like montage music, hah.
Very happy and a little sentimental-sounding I think. The intro feels like waking up first thing in the morning... now that I re-listen to it, the whole song seems to fit that progressing-through-the-day feeling.
Very nice, good job.

[Caught In The Wake]

Gewd.

I thought the intro was pretty cool (Sounded kinda like 2112 by Rush), and I especially liked the piano parts. You used enough instruments so that it sounded full, but not overflowing.
Nice job.

[Caught In A Dream]

Pretty good

I liked both the bouncy upbeat parts, and the echoey atmospheric parts, but I think they sounded a little mismatched together (though that's just me. You really did do a good job with it).
I especially like the beginning and the quiet fast notes throughout.
Nice job.

[[dj-Jo] She (Aftermath Mix)]

Nice

Wow, this is really great. I haven't listened to the original piece, but this song is pretty amazing on its own.
I can tell you put a lot of time into it. The intro was cool, and it got nice and epic-sounding from about the middle to the end.
Like others have said, it gets a little repetitive at places.
