7.39/10

Whoah, not even a soft introduction, just straight into the action. I've got mixed feelings about that, but i think i kinda like it as an intro. Interesting. I would say that it has a little too much power for it to really work out well, personally. It's hard not to think of it as overpowering. It's still really great in it's progressions. Back to the power by 6:04, and this time it feels a little more fitting. From there on, smooth sailing with a nice big section with a great release say the end.

5.5/10 Still don't think I'm liking this so much. I think its stuck between being relaxing and energetic, likely on purpose, but with everything going on I'm just unattracted by how the noises sound together. Think its okay for 1:57-3:12 and 4:29 onwards though, I like those parts.
Hmm. I suppose that's fair enough. It had the opposite effect on me, I really liked how it sounded as it seemed interesting and crunchy to me.

Here's one I think I've posted here a few months ago, the one breakcore song I've considered to be the candidate of being my all-time favorite breakcore track. It'd be interesting to see what you'd think of it.

8.5/10, I can definitely see why you think so much to it! I dig how the more aggressive sections mix into the more serene parts, thats what really sells it for me. My favourite part is the lead in from 2:00 into 2:17, that's nothing short of epic, I also love how it goes calm again in 3:15 and then its just gorgeous at 3:43.

Definitely a nice experience. Something good to sleep to. The progressions are pretty interesting. Overall I like it, it's pretty good. Also, that-- whoah. Just. The outro. Fuck. That's a good outro.

6.8/10 Pretty fresh wubwubs, I can get into this. I like the intro.

A month and a half sounds about right, I haven't been here very long but the thread went pretty quiet around that time.

7.9/10, pretty gud imo. There were some times in the beginning that I was reminded of Lincoln Park for some reason. Intro and ending were very nice.

Oh hey, it's Biosphere. Haven't listened to the recent stuff in a while. Comfortable, as usual, but nothing exactly remarkable, it's just nice to listen to.

8/10 Just really nice sounds in this, engaging.

Achromalia
7.64/10.

Nothing much to say about it, it's pretty good. I guess it's less diverse in its direction, and it kinda just does the same thing, but there are subtle things that make it somewhat different and engaging. It's alright, quite soothing actually, but hard to listen to consciously as it just makes me feel... rather absent-minded. Not sure how to explain it better.

Oof I'm lucky I caught this in time. I'm about to sleep right now, staying up the whole night is just not working out for me. time zones are really irritating to work around sometimes ;w;

It's 1:39 AM as of now in the midst of writing this post. I should be back up in 6 or 7 hours at the latest if I can manage to fall asleep.

(edit: 2 hours later, I still haven't fallen asleep. checked my emails, starting to feel nostalgic again, im making an attempt to talk to an old friend of mine but no response since about two and a half months ago.)

One of my favorite longer tracks, this is the multi-genre experience "Empty Egg":

8.9/10 I'm 99.9% sure you've posted this in this or that, I still really like it. 1:58 the drunk sleazy sounds are just 10/10 material, 3:45 is incredible. I like the first 7 minutes more than the end by far though, but I appreciate all these shifts because they're all so good to listen to.

You should catch some Zs dude D:. Unfortunate to hear you can't contact your friend, I do hope you get hold of them though and that they're well.

7.89/10

Whoah, kinda cool. I think I like it. It has an interesting direction and does what it can with it. Nothing amazing, but it's definitely... familiar, actually. It has the sort of chord of progression that can be predictable at times, but it manages to work well. Nice overall.

I'm a dumb

I forgot to sleep

Pretty nice. Has some good progression, and the white-noisy distorted atmospheric thing is really cool.

8.8/10 Clean and refreshing, vocals really stick out to me and the guitar fits in so well, perfect length too, not too long but long enough to really immerse you. Awesome vibes.

Lol, that's cool! I don't like most of the sounds he uses, really, they often sound coarse and far too noisy for me, they also lack direction imo. At least when his songs start to use a piano or something similar, it lightens it up and I can dig it then.
I dunno mang, the last time I even mimicked throwing a punch I sprained my wrist o ^ q.


Achromalia
8.79/10.

Hmm. For songs meant to be experienced, 8 to 12 minutes is my golden range of length. This is right in the middle. Speaking of it being meant to be experienced, this is quite the song for lovely progressions. I enjoy the fuzzy atmosphere to it. Growls themselves are yet again may not be my thing, but when they fit the atmosphere like this, they're great. A nice little acoustic guitar in the middle is refreshing to hear, amongst the other well-fitting instruments. Then the lovely progression from 6:55 into 7:12. Wow. from 7:12 onwards, it's just... pleasing to hear for some reason. The growls kinda take away the atmosphere and it starts be a little funny after a while, but overall it was executed REALLY well. Nice outro.

Whoa 9.6/10!
Shit I'm really going to have to listen to this artist cus this is just so beautiful in most every way. I already loved from the start then 2:13 really layers it up, adds some great texture, sounds heavenly and delicate.

7.51/10

Ooh, sounds like a little bit of folk in there. Well, this started off pretty well with the intro. The vocals are pretty decent, and I like how it fits with the song's atmosphere with the reverb. Nice guitar and piano at the end. Overall, not bad.

Oh hey, you know of Arcaea too?

HOLY FUCK.

Well, it's a good mix of concepts, and it's pretty cool to see Breakcore and Artcore are involved. Though it gets points for executing the individual concepts well and sounding stylish, It lacks the depth I typically seek in the mood of songs. Even then, it doesn't sound any less great. It's a bit shorter than what I'd like for something of this nature, and I feel like with the complexity of its arrangement, there's a lot more that could be done.

This was the first song I found when I discovered Arcaea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRnrKsuV-Uo

So good! The sounds is just so epic, and it fits in rhythm games. And yes I know Arcaea but I don't play it anymore because of it's shit judgment line.

7.32/10.

It sounds pretty decent, or at least has decent sound quality along with decent concepts, but for some reason, it just doesn't appeal to me much. The execution just doesn't suit well with me. It almost feels as if whatever structure this song was meant to have but seems to lack... just was there for no reason. Like an eventful battle with no place or context in the original nondescript story arc. It works with what it has, but is too inconsistent judge much of it based on musical quality and forces it to be more focused as an experience-- and it's decent as an experience, but it just doesn't work as a song. It has potential, but it's too inconsistent and takes a few too many risks way too soon that i don't even have a chance to catch the general theme of the song, as it switches the mood rather quickly and erratically.

This song from onumi's "Childhood Friend" album is... concerning. If this album is trying to tell a story, then... whatever part of the plot this pertains to will not bode well. "Regret", a fitting name.

But to have a hint of what I mean, here's the track list titles for the album, along with the description:

"The loss of your childhood.
Something everyone experiences but no one talks about.
You're not alone.
Don't get caught up in yourself, please."

- onumi

1. Nostalgia
2. Fake
3. Desire
4. Regret (part 1)
5. Stockholm Syndrome
6. Regret (Part 2)
7. Confusion
8. Break
9. Forgiveness

Unless you don't look into the moods and meanings of songs much, then that's fine. -w-

It's not really something I listen to on a daily basis. Nonetheless, it's quite enjoyable with a good pair of headphones.

Rook
4/10, Urgh sorry, I really dislike this sort of folky indie music. To me it all sounds the same, bland and pretty annoying.


^ Also, to embed your youtube vod properly, you don't need the full link. You just needed this: 6GqgNebPm50 which came after the '=' of your full link 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GqgNebPm50', so it'd be:

9/10, film scores are oftentimes for me. This made me move my body in rhythm of the music.

Rook
6.8/10 I never heard this version. Shame about the upload quality, but this sounds a lot nicer than the Andy Williams version. Really not my genre, but I enjoy this!

Very serene. I love the sounds. Pretty good overall.

I've got this so far from my song. Not sure how it sounds to everyone else, so feedback is really appreciated -w-

AcrWHOA, you madman, the heck is this and how did you do it!?
8.8/10, sounds are so clean and crisp, the piano at 1:46 comes in perfectly, it's my favourite thing, and the melody is so simple yet so well utilised throughout the song, memorable too, if you used this as a title theme of a game for example, it's simple enough to sound iconic.... Godammit and I'm getting Perfect Dark vibes too u V u!
This is professional stuff! Are you planning to get some songs together for an album? Or is this all experimental?

Achromalia
7.81/10

Pretty good. Not much to say about this one, though. Easy to listen to, I guess.

As for my music, Inertia is intended to be my first single released early-August. Next, I'll be attempting a collaboration with a friend who will be the singer, probably to be released around mid-November. I didn't expect you to like it this much xD

It's a bit experimental, as I'm still trying to get used to mixing and mastering, and with a song of this nature, it's hard to make everything sound good and at a good volume where you can hear it all without the master channel clipping or cutting out any of the instruments. I hope it's received well! Gonna be my first dip into the music industry, I guess, I'll try kickstart a possible career with this.

btw onumi's music has low-key become one of my inspirations in music production:

6.8/10 Still kinda like the sounds, but still can't get into it somehow.

Sorry, was waiting to see if anyone else replied since you posted it about a week ago and my opinion hasn't changed much since then. Also I 100% believe you'll go far in the industry considering your motivation and talent.

Achromalia
8.26/10.

Interesting. I like it, it has some really tense and suspenseful progressions which were executed really well. I'm paying a lot of attention to the gritty bassy stuff, I'll definitely need to start taking notes on things.

Thank you! I have a funny feeling I might do well as a musician. I'm a little nervous about taking it all on now, since I'm mostly self-taught and somewhat inexperienced as far as professional stuff goes. I may try to team up with a label of sorts to get some additional help once I'm certain of my capabilities.

7.8/10 Nice intricate layers in this and I like it's direction. Good stuff.

It has a pretty nice ambient atmosphere. It doesn't have much of anything in terms of progressions, but I still like it.

Welcome back, Rook.

8.5/10 Pretty dope, great fun energy to it and the background noises really stop it from being too much.

Thanks and hiho. I have three orphaned newborn kittens and an orphaned baby rabbit (that one of our cats brought in to eat) that I need to look after, which on top of the other pets we own, feels like I've been living in a zoo for the last few days ;v ; and so I've been a little busy. How's things?

keremaru
7.985/10. little metal segments were nice, but the singer didn't really maintain consistency with that for most of the song. pretty good, though.


have fun >:D
Rook
7.5/10 Quite pleasant and easy to enjoy, nice soothing 20 minutes I just had c: . I'd probably never re-listen to this again though as it's very much background music, but good background music all the same.

Achromalia
8.13/10

Good atmosphere, and the vocals are fucking heavenly, they really fit the song. That progression at 2:19 was pretty cool. I feel like taking notes from all this. Anyways, it's a really good song overall.

Hmm. Yeah, I imagined something was going on that made you that busy, guess I was right. Well, things have been pretty nice actually, today i just got to attend this local convention intended to multiply creators in the area, so basically, anyone with an affinity for the art is encouraged to join, and they'll teach you things on four different fronts of the arts: Traditional, Digital (Animation), Story, and Performance (Improvisation). So I wanted to attend since I'm an artist myself, able to work with pencils and charcoals, along with some mediocre digital art skills. I wanted to get better at this stuff, so I thought it'd be a nice experience while still being informative. And well, yeah! It was pretty entertaining and thing happened as they should have! Unfortunately, I didnt get anything like Wacom tablets or tablet pens, but I did get a huge sketchbook and a few sticks of charcoal, so that was cool.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow, as this is a two-day event. Things should go well, so I'll just be enjoying myself while I can and use this opportunity the best way I can.

6/10, It's got some nice sinister atmosphere about it, but I found it a little boring and it doesn't really go anywhere.

That sounds quite fun! Oh charcoal huh, that's interesting, I always imagine people who like charcoal to be pseudo painters .^. ... Your linework in the 'draw the avatar above you' thread is very good so I wonder if you've ever tried inks?
