Oi.
Very laid back groove, I like the overal feel of that throaty saw synth. Good work there.
The drums are standard dance drums... try ading some variation in the future to them. Sure, its nice to have that groove, but you also need to add a feeling of a beginning and an end to the beat.
No complaints with the song theory though. It all worked very smoothly.
Good work :)

sry about my doubt in u zenon i was having a fing bad day.
...FL?
This is simply a bunch of FL loops played together. It would at least be better if you sliced the loops yourself and made it more original.
Well, at least its an original piece of music.

JonTerp?
That name make sme laugh :D
I could see this being a main theme for a good lil' animation, like for 'Bonus Stage' or something. Very nice.
Now, you've got the main song idea down, infact, this is pretty enjoyable. Now you just focus on what to play one at a time, or else the song will get clogged and that will take away from the whole feel of the song. In this song, near the build up, it sure did it get clogged. In my main melodies, I'd only have like, 2 or 3 instrumenets playing. Maybe 4. A bassline, my melody, my drums, and if its a too empty, a quiet pad. Then you can hear everything and its enjoyable.
You'll be making kickass music soon! Keep it up!

"Misantropia"
Wow, theres nothing but distortion in this song :( Turn down your sound levels when you record :(
Originality: Its a heavymetal piece with lots of screaming and solos. Not very original. 4.
Diversity is a 7, because of the changes in the guitar. Thats about that.
Clarity is a 2, because all I can hear is a guitar and screaming and a tiny bit of drums. :(
Effort is an 8, because I can hear the great guitar playing, but the mastering takes down the effort quite a bit :(
Overall, 5. Sorry, even though it was great playing, there was no quality whatsoever :(
-zenon
err....im no good at mastering....
"Bannerama"
Your first ban? I went through countles bans... literally. My bans are probably in the hundreds.
Anyways.
Originality is a 4, because this si the most cliched trance song I had ever heard. Offbeat bass, 4 by 4 kick, and lots of filters to add diversity. Tsk.
Diversity is a 7 because of the repetitiveness. I really don't care if you made the most diverse song in the world, if you have parts repeating like this, you'll still get a low mark.
Clarity is a 9. Well, its a clear song. Nice.
Effort is a 7, because I know you can do much better. The drums were just drums, the melody was rather just a teaser and not a melody, and the rest of the song was just... a breakdown. Not a song, just a breakdown.
Overall is a 6. I give you this mark because I know you cna do better. Make a trance piece that will amaze me.

"Forbidden Love"
Amazing piece. It built itself very well... lets look at the scores.
Originality is a 7, because it seems like just another love piece, but since you put it under heavy metal, I'm almost waiting for the huge distortion to bust in. Doesn't seem like thats gonna happen :(
Diversity is an 8. You did a great job piecing it all together and making it all diverse.
Clarity is a 9. Simply because no one is perfect :)
Effort is a 10 because of the great work you put into everything, including the heavymetal part (by the wya, that just came in XD)
Overall is an 8. You did an amazing job, but I'm marking hard :)
Keep it up!

"While Heaven Burns"
Originality is a 7. Everything in this genre has been done, but I hear a subtle sub bass in the backround. Nice :)
Diversity is a 9. Amazing changes of the melody whilst the song still sticks together.
Clarity is a 9 because of the crashes(in the beginning). It seems like every orchaestral composer on newgrounds always gets those volumes wrong on the crashes...
Effort is a 10. Nuff said.
Overall, 8. A powerful orchaestral piece that sounds very muddled in the beginning, and clears up a little later. Pretty unoriginal, though :(
Good work, keep it up!
-zenon
Unoriginal you say eh? I strive to make every piece something new, I am quite surprised by that comment, but then again, i'm not going to sit here and say I know every song everywhere, it's entirely possible I've relied too heavily on small subtle things to give it an air of originality, or merely have made a song which I thought was original and was not.
Live and learn eh!?
Thanks for the review Zenon, i'll be sure to keep them coming.
"Diarrhea of Death"
LMAO! I love you bastards :)
Originality: You guys are seriously the most original heavy metal band ever. Seriously. Who thinks of adding bouncy punk+cats+heavymetal together? You get a fucking 10.
Diversity is a 9, its a great, diverse piece, with lots happening with solos. Great.
Clarity is an 8 because eof the cheap quality of the drums and the low quality of the farint sounds and the cat 'meow'.
Effort is a 9. Nuff said in itself XD
You guys did a great job, and earned the score of 8/10! Keep this up in the future!

"Star Stealing Girl"
Video game music is impossible to judge. They are all the same, except for the instruments. So I'll only judge you on what I can, for the other rules don't apply.
Clarity: 9. Good work, but no ones perfect.
Overall: 7. The piece os nice, but you added no new riffs yourself, or anything to that extent. I can understand a cover, but that changes the genre entirely. If you tried that instead, then I'd be impressed.
-zenon
Thanks for the fair review ZENON. I will agree entirely with your review. However, this particular piece was intended to duplicate the original, as was Chronomut's version. Part 2, 3, and 4 of our contest will have variation and improv riffs involved.
Thanks again Z, it's always nice to hear from you.

"Bezerker"
Its impossible to come up with something new in the DnB genre, so lets see what you pull outta your ass.
Originality sits on the fence at 5. The only things that made this song original is the serious glitch work and some of the psycadelic synths you used. The amen breaks and all that were compeltely untouched, and right now, I'm almost thinking of lowering that score to 4...
Diversity is an 8, what can I say? Its a diverse piece but the bass is very repetitive. The drums though? Weren't.
Clarity is a 9, cause its a clear piece. But no ones perfect, so you get 9.
Effort is an 8 becuase of the drums. Thats it. If you spent the time to make diverse drums, I would seriously welcome this to the 9 or 10 mark in effort.
Overall, 8. Its a good DnB piece, but nothing new other than glitch.
