"Wow..."

submission: Anthem For The Ordinary

date: December 23, 2008

You had me at "fuck". This is great, really great, and makes me really glad I bothered to check the Audio Portal today.

I agree that it gets a little too screamy at the end, especially during that part that ManiacalGrunt mentioned already. Otherwise, the recording quality is great, and it has a slight unpolished feel to it that I really like. The reggae interlude was really unexpected! Different.

Hope to see you guys on tour sometime. Hey, by the way, there are countries south of the US and Canada that like live music, too. Just saying. :)

"Simple, but awesome."

submission: She's Got a Boyfriend

date: October 8, 2008

So. Damn. Catchy.

Deathzone posted a flash with the beginning of this song in it, so I came to check it out. This is really catchy... it'll be stuck in my head for days. I like the harmonies a lot... you've got some talent. Hope to hear more of your stuff soon.

10'd, 5'd, fave'd, and she has a boyfriend'd.

Score: 10

"Really nice."

submission: ==(Melting Snow)==

date: March 23, 2008

Wow, I really like this one. You described it as uplifting and refreshing, and I would definitely call it both. It's relaxing, too, in a not-boring type of way. Definitely reminiscent of spring's building warmth throughout the song.

Faved and downloaded.

Score: 10

"Wow!"

submission: Intergalactic ZENON MIX

date: August 19, 2006

Dude, this is awesome! This is a great song to begin with, but you managed to *completely* turn it around and make it ten times better. It's got a totally different flavour now, and much more energy than the original. I love it.

5'd, 10'd, downloaded and going on a CD to put in my car. Excellent work!

Score: 10

"Nice work."

submission: DirtySpaceboy

date: August 18, 2006

I like this track. It's got an odd, dissonant feel to parts of it that I really liked. Kind of a creepy vibe around it. I might use this -- or a portion of it -- in a halloween film, if you don't mind.

Interesting fact: my cat, who is usually not one for music, has wrapped himself around the speaker and is purring like mad. I stopped the song and he got pissed and started meowing. You have apparently found the secret to making my cat happy.

Looking forward to checking out the rest of your work. :)

Score: 10

"Great!"

submission: CLOCK DAY 06--_--(1:55)

date: August 15, 2006

I love it! I've been looking forward to this since you told me you'd be submitting something for Clock Day. Sounds great... it's got a good beat to it and a fresh, crisp sound that I really enjoy. Great quality.

An easy five for your Clock Day submission. :)

Score: 5

"Nice, but too short."

submission: Laffy Taffy Ocktane Style

date: August 4, 2006

I wish you'd released the full-length version instead of this one; you said you wanted to avoid haters giving it a zero, but if they hate the song, they'll zero a partial version, too.

That said, I liked what you did with this, and the only reason I scored it a 5/10 is because it was very short and left me wanting to hear more. It didn't seem like this went anywhere new, but considering the length of the track, I guess I couldn't really expect it to. I hope you'll think about releasing a longer version.

Score: 2

"Boring."

submission: The Big Bag Song

date: August 4, 2006

Well, okay, you tried, but honestly, this is one of the less imaginative tracks I've heard on the audio portal. There's really nothing exciting here; it's mostly just a drum track with the "big bag" tagline repeated many times over it. The little bit of music that was added felt tedious and dull. I wasn't impressed with the overall *feel* of this song.

For a first submission, I suppose it's not terrible, but I'm sure you can do better than this. Some more original music, som interesting effects, or some variety in the beats would help this a lot.

Score: 10

"Nah, not grunge."

submission: Open Garage

date: August 1, 2006

Yet another amazing track from you! I'm really impressed by your work. No, I wouldn't consider this grunge either; it's too clean sounding, and definitely has that same upbeat feel to it that your other songs seem to. I like the drum sounds in this one... are those programmed or actual drums? Great, clean guitar sounds, too. This kind of has an acoustic rock feel to it. I like.

Score: 10

"Nice!"

submission: Metallic Rage

date: August 1, 2006

Wow, this one's my favourite of your tracks thus far. Heh, I don't think I would classify it as "metal", though; it's got a slight industrial feel to it, but it's more rock than anything else. Kind of bouncy and fun. This is something I'd listen to in the car on a road trip.

Definitely doesn't bring "rage" to mind, either, though. I guess I get a different impression from it than you intended! :)
