The beat is wicked, and I like the easygoing yet very 'awake' melody. This makes me feel more alert, but with a sort of coolness. I saw the title and was all, "Hmm. Heavy metal? Better be good to be on the top 5." And what do you know.
It's a lot better than good, and it actually sounds industrial, with some heavy, low sounds that give it its Awesome Feel.
It's also the dirty, complex industrial sounds, which basically sound like awesome mixing and scraps of sounds jumbled together in an awesome song. (I just love that word today xD)
Kudos on this! It is Pure Awesomeness (there it is again..)
You know what's weird? Okay, off-topic, but I've been saying that phrase for a while now, and I'm seeing it everywhere now! D:
Anyway, I voted 4 mistakenly. This deserves a 5.

A 10 because of its outstanding originality and randomness, its superb recording and melody. Your voice is perfect for this type of song, and I am very impressed by the whole song, overall.
Just a little thing you got to fix, though. There is about 30 seconds of complete silence at the end. Trim it off; it's unnecessary.
Other than that, I think I've said enough. Great melody, theme, voice, and everything was in sync. I don't think I heard a single thing wrong.
Excellent! I just voted you 5. Didn't make much of a difference, though, since you're currently at a 4.85

"Banish the authorities.."

submission: Remove Police

date: May 19, 2008

Haha! Excellent song, mates.
All aspects of the song were just glowing perfection! Nice voice, lol.
The bass and the synth leads were an awesome touch to the song, and were well in sync. The drums were always in time, and I like the little slow down at 3:15, and it still contained the same upbeatness. Awesome melody, by the way. This is by far the best done vocal song on all of NG. I am very impressed by its professional sound and the overall theme and hilarity. Personally I don't agree, but your voice is convincing :D
Remove the police!
This is a definite add to my faves.

"Ambience at its best."

submission: Gracious Winter

date: May 14, 2008

At first, the bird chirping was getting a little extra, but now I realized that was pointless to say. Anyhow.
The bass was PERFECT. Not too loud, but definitely nicely put in to be recognized and appreciated.
I love the overall vibe of the song, although it doesn't really make me thinking of winter at first. I guess it's the birds..there's really none in winter.
Anyway, this is very nicely put together, it's soothing, and the rhythm is nice and easygoing. The piano was smooth, and the flute? I love to death. Amazing work, very professional sounding. You have my 5.

This is probably the best I've heard in a while. Very professionally funk sounding ;D
And the theme? I cannot not love. This hath stopped me from doing my hmwrk. Which is good and bad, lol.
Don't let the funk stop! ;D

"5 team? o.O"

submission: Oh No Remix [TranceCore]

date: May 10, 2008

I think was pretty good, the crowd cheering made it seem kinda of real, but also made it just a little bothersome in a way. Still, the tune was catchy. I think the only main piss off is the bass. It didn't seem loud and clear enough.
And the ending. Way too abrupt. If you want it to seem real and filled with energy, that's fine, but it was the crowd that did it. When it ended, it sounded like it got cut off. Fading out the crowd would sound more realistic.
However, I'm impressed with the overall progression. And the kick was good.

the piano was the best part, and the pads in the background definitely added a soothing feel to it, kind of forcing you to relax
>:D lol
Teh guitars especially make it a homey feeling..it feels..really disarming. Makes me think of exploration, walking through a garden of memories :D
Nice work, I'm glad I came across this :)

submission: Reasoner- Approaching The Sun

Yay, my vote counts so much xD
Anyway, I was looking in the ambience section and I was like, oh! It's Reasoner again. Lemme check this track out.
And guess what? Outstanding work, AGAIN. I think what you really accomplished here was the steady tempo along with a natural, carefree piano in sync. It sounds like exploration...made me think of open space; either in water, space, or spring fields. But more the former two.
So like I said, creating a certain mood and a smooth melody seems to come quite naturally to you. I'm amazed at your work, you are now in my favs O_O
Lol, I don't usually state that plainly.
Anyhow. Au revoir, ciao, adios, namaste, good day ":D

submission: Aquatic Ambiance

date: April 20, 2008

It was really hard determing the score and the rating for this song, because in some parts, it sounded wonderful; others...not so much.
you had a constant string ensemble playing either D or B ( I think) all the wa through, and it got to me after the first few seconds, and I was all thinking, "..." Is it going to change? Haha
The piano part towards the middle/end sounded really nice, and the (panflute?) also sounded great, except in the beginning, it stopped and then started off again a little awkwardly :/
Even though this song lacked any kind of bass, the rhythm certainly made up for it. It was very professional sounding, as well as all the other instruments. What program do you use?
The ending was a little abrupt--I guess I was expecting the reverb to last a little longer before it got cut-off.
Overall, nice job.
4/5

Another 10! So far this is my 4th review, I think..
My, I must really add you to my favorites since I keep coming back to your songs. Like after the first one, ?I decided not to. But then I did. And then again. And now.
T.T
LOL back to the review. Another impressive one, I like the theme you have here too, buddy. And how dare you call yourself an amateur composer..?! To me, I am an amateur. You're close to professional.. at least in the type of music that you work with.
I foured the first two songs, but now I'm reconsidering. That's why this one and the last one I fived. Because it makes sense :D
I guess I have nothing else to say for this amazingness..
