[Blood and Envy (demo)]

Ooh very powerful moment when that bass is first introduced! Some impending doom or a very emotional moment. Again, a lot of potential!

pitbulljones responds:

yea when it kicks, it kicks. Track needs extensive work, just need to refine it

[Solace]

I like this, it has a very interesting feeling that I can’t quite pin down. Solace explains it well. I would be interested to hear it again if you develop it more.

I feel like that haunting harmony/vocal (or whatever the official term is) could use some more distance, but that is just my personal taste.

But yeah, good work. This has some interesting potential.

[Creo - Octane]

Pretty good, my dude!

[Pitbulljones- Quiver]

These chords feel really good with the guitar. Gives it almost like memory vibe. But yeah, I like it, nice work!

pitbulljones responds:

cheers bro

[Pbj 230819 Demo 1st Phrase]

This gives me the impression of an intro into a detective game/movie where the detective is investigating a merciless homicide.

I don't know why. Maybe the effects of October are making me a little... maniacal?

I like it a lot, though! Has lots of potential.

pitbulljones responds:

thank you for the review bro!

I glad you found a vibe for this. my intention is to always create atmosphere.

it's my first run of the opening, it's definitely going to be improved.

[Blissful World of Garbage]

This sounds very 8/16 bit and I can see it in a happy pixel video game. I don't see how it relates to a world of garbage, it sounds more adventurous to me.

That high pitched instrument is killing my ears. Consider EQ-ing out the high end of that instrument to help reduce ear fatigue.

I like the drum beat a lot and the almost tubey bass!

I like it, but you need to do something about that high pitched instrument.

[_-=[Beware the Ancients]=-_]

Very nice! This gives off a very "We have to win right now or else!" vibe.

[-Glorious morning-]

The nostalgia! You sir, will always be known for this!

[T.E.O.M. - Newgrounds Anthem (Produced By TheEyeOFMusiK)]

I like the bass and the kick, but honestly, I don't really like the song. It's not that its bad, its just not my cup of tea. You asked me to review this and I will honestly, but please do not think I am trying to be mean; I am just trying to give constructive criticism and be completely honest.

Some of these instruments don't feel like they fit together very well. The siren-like sound for example at 00:55 is distracting and pulls me out of the song; it doesn't to feel like it fits very well with the overall theme.

This is mostly me being picky here, but the reverb does not feel right for some instruments to me. Mostly the beepy noise around 00:40 feels like its needs just a bit more reverb, but again, just me being picky.

Me being picky again. The vocal at 2:10 is too quiet, I didn't even hear it on the first play.

I am just trying to give you feedback on what I thought could and should be changed with this song. If you loved making this song just the way it is, then keep doing that! make songs just the way you like them, don't let people tell you how to make music, otherwise you will stop enjoying it.

P.S. I may not have liked the music, but I can appreciate the effort and time put into this, good job.

[This Is War]

Nice! I like the beginning a lot. Has a nice movie feel to it. The ending is a little chaotic and loud. That, however, may be your point since you do say there are a lot of explosions. But I think there is just a little too much going on at about 1:48 and beyond. other than that nice work!

Thank you!
