Dreamline - dreamline.mptm	Review Score: 5/10

Overall Impression (4/10)

Overall impression is meh, listenable track but not wow.

Technique, Arrangement, Composition (5/10)

Pad sounds are nice, but drums are sounding pretty flat in the mix. Vocals are pretty flat, I would have fix them up a bit with autotune/melodyne and then eqed them a bit. Delay and reverb on them are too high, it doesn't blend well with rest of the mix since its kinda dry.

Development (5/10)

Arrangement works, could have been a little bit better, but not a big problem here. Mix is sounding very flat. The drum break is way to low, and the kick is pretty dull. I would have backed the break snare up with a hard sounding snare, or a harder sounding snare to be exact. I think the pad sounds nice, but fills up too much. It fills up to the point the mix is starting to sound muddy, not a good one. Vocals are horrible though, that is the main problem here. They are kinda flat, I would have used autotune/melodyne to fix the flat spots etc. Way too much delay/reverb, it doesn't fit well with the mix, since the mix is pretty dry. I would have low cutted them also so you get rid of the low end popping, also more highs to get that "air" in them. Also hard to hear what she is singing also.

Creativity (6/10)

Melodies are very atmospheric though I gotta give you that. I like it, even if it is a bit cheesy for my tasting. Simple chord progression, but works as well.

Enjoyment (5/10)

Ofcourse it works, just a few things that needs to get fixed. Track is pretty repetitive actually, but the vocal lines backs it up.

do you want me? - doyouwantme.mod	Review Score: 5/10

Overall Impression (6/10)

Overall Impression is dull, but not bad.

Technique, Arrangement, Composition (5/10)

Structure, melodies etc are kinda boring, not so many effects used mainly offset of some samples.

Development (5/10)

Arrangment/Structure is kinda boring as I said, mix is alright. I don't expect much from a .mod ;P

Creativity (3/10)

Melodies are very cheezy, nothing I would get hooked to. But there is probably people out there who would think this is amazing ;)

Enjoyment (6/10)

Yep, it works. Listenable but not WOW.

Some elements could have been improved, but other than those flaws the tune is amazing, just my style!
