[Our World {durn}]

Nice man!

I agree with the last guy though some more 'movements' like the one at midway, would have been really cool, also, sometimes, just taking the time to run a second lead track can make all the difference in variety! Just a tip! Time to see ur other stuff!

durn responds:

ya, I layered a copy of the lead synth in the last section using a rising stab pattern, suppose I shoulda tried more with that idea earlier throughout the song coupled with a different melody. :) bit of artist's arrogance on that one. I just like the way the melody's harmonic with both bass riffs, don't think I'll change it. :d

thanks for the review, man :)

[Fall Away]

did a nice job here ;)

I like this song! Nice voice, good piano, an i like the whispers..

[Pobeb-Metaljonus]

Hey man!

Love the tapping, reminds me of Gojira kinda, did u have to tracks in the tapping part it almost sounds like you had a track that wasn't tapping in there too..probably an illusion tho, yeah and the timing wasn't perfect but close, and fix that and the score will go up i'm sure ;) . Real good driving verses, and great solo as always. Do you script those or are they free flow? Always wanted to know...

Metaljonus responds:

Thanks dude! I just fixed the intro, when it comes to my leads its mostly improv but it depends if I have a melody written and play the melody and kind of do some improv based off that. Anyway thanks for listening!

[Obsession For Opression]

Well....

I must they it is quite entertaining... But I'm not much of a fan of cookie monster metal...
I can tell it was written well. The recording is kinda fuzzy, but its not to fuzzy. Its really hard to understand what is going on. The guitar at 2:47-till the end really shined out! At 1:30 - 2:06 was really good to. You remind me of divine heresy's new album. Good parts in the songs, but not so much with the whole thing and the speed metal sections the guitar tuned real low. (theirs is like F#BEADGBE, yeah 8 strings..) So what I'm trying to say is that, Its really metal, but its too messy, just make the music a little easier to understand, its not just about making noise. I would just fuck with some of the verse(?) part so its less muddy, maybe try different distortion or mix it better, also this song isn't really for this singer. I know you wont tell him to fuck off cuz of me, or if its you voluntarily leave, but maybe get him to be less Canibal Corpse, more Randy Blithe, Devin Townsend (Lamb of God; Strapping Young Lad, respectively). I know I don't have any metal screams up yet so maybe you wont listen to me, but I'm just sayin'......

SentinelX responds:

well live this song actually kicks ass :D we had some good reviews, but since this all recorded digitally it does sound fuzzy, so excuse us for that ;) And the guitars are normal 6-strings, but tuned like this: B E A D F# B...

And this is also not our normal singer, my brother who does the backings, made this lyric and placed it on the music... Since i thought that moment his voice didn't suck that bad... Now i know better! Also thnx for the helpful review!

[Search your grave(1st Dra]

Amazing

Was about to vote 9/10 until the change at :50 then it turned into a song kinda, I'm not metaljonus (lol) but i would say your song was definatly in there. Requires more riffs and stuff, and I have total confidence in your ability to write, so I can't wait till its done!!

[Nana's Song-Metaljonus]

Good too!

So many reviews! *sigh* gotta keep goin'.....

Ya, my great grandma died this spring. I get where this came from. I had a 5 hour jam session the day I found out. I just let everything come out. There was sad stuff, metal stuff, happy stuf, fast stuff, slow stuff. It really helped me out to pour out all my shit.

I didn't record any of it. I wanted to move on kinda (after all my family has a history of depression) so i just kinda left it at that.

[Zhoxu-Metaljonus]

More metal!!

This is the most hardcore thing i've heard you do! What tuning was this? sounds kinda like a seven string.... same tuning as most of the songs from Alien by Strapping Young Lad.....

nice phrasing, and everything!

Metaljonus responds:

Thanks man, I tuned to A on this one lol. I love SY L and that album it's so fucking evil!

[Dainy Rays-Metaljonus]

very good jam!

I agree with that other dude i just bumped off by leaving this review. Sounds kinda western/southern......except for the solo. Speaking of solo, Nice one ;)

Metaljonus responds:

Thx guy

[Beat it-Metaljonus]

Thought i'd redrop this here.

This time i'll be less of a dick. ;)

Great Steve Vai-ness goin' on!!! Second best muscian ever, Steve Vai (#1 Devin Townsend in case any1 was wonderin') Great metal-ization of an amazing pop song. Yeah you didn't write it but it seems, contrary to my mislead beliefs, it seems no one cares. So I'll ignore it too (but minus 1 lol, didn't think you were getting off easy did you?) 5/5

And you DID write the solo, and be god, and mix it, and arrange it and everything. So you get your nine.

Its just me and my buddies firmly believe anyone can play music, but few can write. And you did transform this with much writing, but you had a shell. So not as hard. Just sayin'. I got way to carried away with my shit. thatg first time so I thought i un-be a dick. Sorta.

Metaljonus responds:

Its all good man, I totally went vai before even redid this tribute lol. I have the time and date lol. But you gotta understand there are shit load of tributes on this website wither you like it or not. But I am glad you came back and gave your honest opinion which is cool. Thanks I also write my own killer original I am pretty sure you'll love it! I hope you check it out and lemme know when you guys got new tracks that are up!

Hail!
