The Hunt For The God Particle My review, your song.
Intro to 0:44 is good.
0:45 choir aahs are added. I found them a bit breif and backgroundy.
Ahh become sustanined at 0:56, piano added. Building nicely.
1:05 guitar is added and piano begins playing all over (in a workable music kind of way).
1:35 piano scale should have adapted abit better to the music I think. The setup is great, but the notes themselves repeating the same few note scale could have been transposed up and down to fit better.
2:00-ish guitars back doing a rythmic grunge background thing - it works.
2:30 Drums are becoming very background noise at this point in time. Just constant hammering of the kick with the only detailings being snares. Or atleast thats how it feels.
2:55 rev-pickup effect is nice, makes the shift to the next section of the song quite dandy.
3:19 introduction of a new guitar riff, drums show some more diversity here in terms of hits/sounds used.
3:51 high contrast light section, I felt some indication it was going to pasue from the metal section would have done well there.
4:00-ish soft strings / guitar gets woventogether quite nicely.
4:15 piano is added to the mix, works well. Piano plays nothing too solidly attached to the music. It feels like its wandering.
4:50 piano bridge I feel could have lasted longer for good effect. It made a nice break and contrast from the drums thrashy pace.
5:30 Mesh of strings and guitar becomes abit more complex melody-acompaniment wise. I like this section.
6:00 Still liking, drums build nicely here.
Choir sound is adding well.
6:25 guitar fades in and out very briefly, had a nice effect, felt a bit like someone taking ina breath at the endo f a sentence.
6:50 strings get discordant, I think had they continued to get louder and louder, the synth section could have been introduced in a much more dynamic way. As is, it just kind of is tacked on. I feel it could have built up more.
7:30-ish strings / guitar plays out.
8:05-End, song just dithers out, it didn't have much of a proper ending. I think a reintroduction of the acoustic guitar used in the opening alongside drums/strings/synth could have just built up to a b ig bang. Or alternatively, just have the acoustic play the song off.
Over all, mix is quite good, FX are subtle but help move the song along, writing changes often enough that repetition isn't a great concern.
Drums could use a bit more diversity in terms of pacing, as well as perhaps a greater set of durm sounds used so progressive layering could have more possibilities.
Some of the song transitions could have been built up a bit better I think too.
Pleased to have picked this as a song to review, and I'm pleased to see a decent song of hardy length on NG.
Continue as your doing. :)
