Title: Dark

Rated 6 / 10
not bad, nor remarkably good. has a good beat, fastpaced, with decent choice of instruments. i must say though, the very beginning of the song is a bit sloppy, just a little. i particularly like the deep bass-ish sounds in the background; they give exellent support to the sound. same as above as far as how good this was. i always find this part hard to do since i have never made any mods myself (can't find a tracker). from what i can tell though, this one is, again, not bad, but not great either. probably better than i could do, in any case...

BLEGH!BARF! i'm sorry, but this thing sucks. period. very depressing, boring, repetitive, blah,blah, blah. perhaps useful as an intro to something, but by itself; PUKE!! technically, there is nothing wrong with this P.O.S., but i don't understand why they have 16 tracks and only use 5-10 of them. instrument and sound quality was fine, etc, etc.

some back and forth comments from me this time: good melody, but it is partially overridden by all the other tracks which could either be quited down or removed. main comment would be that the flame-obsessed angel needs to learn the importance of subtlty; loud is good, but everything totally loud is, well, not. technically this piece is reletivly flawless. all the tracks are nicely put together, it has good instrument choice, and the sound is pretty good for an s3m (yeah, so i'm picky as hell! so chop my head off!). all the problems with this one (besides volume) are in the music department.

good. i LOVE the bass!! the melody played by the other instruments is not bad, but could use improvement. kind of short though. i would recommend the artist make a remix of this using higher quality instruments (see tech rating below). the conclusion needs work. musically, this one is good, but what it lacks is in the tech department. the instuments other than percussion and bass are sort of whining.their arrangement is exellent, but their quality is relativly low. my recommendation: get a better tracker or higher quality instruments (i have never made a mod before so i have no idea how it works) and: A: rewrite the song noting my recommendations above). B: remix the song.

the best i've reviewed so far (as of 5:55pm pacific, 5.22.00). an exellent beat and good sound, if a bit high pitched and slightly repetitive. what i like about this piece is that it makes you FEEL something; the hopeful tune evokes emotion (in me at least). could use some more low voices and bass. very well put together. exellent instrument choices, with high quality sound. this piece makes good use of all 32 tracks. in my experience, songs with 32 tracks either kick serious @$$ or they suck. this one is not the best 32 track mod i've heard, but certainly dosen't suck.

very nice, with exellent flow. the flute solos are a good touch. so short though! i would recommend extending this, taking it through some different phases; a darker sort of part would be a great addition, as would a more technoish, faster part. exellent sound, no breaks or messed up parts. the mix of techo instruments with flutes and other conventional sounds is nice. it could do with a bit more bass, the drum does not stand out enough in my opinion. very good overall.

pretty good. not a great melodic tune, but has a good, strong beat from start to finish. has a nice feel with the dominant percussion. what this lacks is the 'hook'; that melody or beat that is so irresistably good that you just can't stop listening to it. good use of percussion instruments. the voice samples about farmers cutting off the beaks of chickens (don't ask) were well implemented, if a bit... insane. much of the time, using as many as 16 tracks in an S3M sounds horrible, but this manages to run smoothly.

the main thing i don't like about this one is it has no real melody, just varying fast-paced beat. not entirly bad, per se, but not great. i would not recommend this to anyone looking for something good to listen to; this one would only be good (maybe) to have playing when you're doing something else. i don't mean to offend the artist, but whoever made this one needs to learn how to make their music have melodic flow. no outstanding technical achievments in this one. just a basic tune with (as far as i can tell) no special sampling of any sort. the instruments are not particularly interesting either.
