This song competed in the rookie division of Music Contest 6, where it ranked in block 8.

Judge: Szekely ,Saar

The beginning of the song is fine, we'll say... even it's just drum loop it is quite a promising beginning for a song. But from order 1, when the instruments enter, they sound too unreal because the quailty of the samples isn't too high... Sample 6 that enters in order 3 deosn't fit the song in the bit and the harmony. This sample isn't good for solos too, that's why order 9-10 are wierd and not-good. The solo in 13 and on isn't gooo also because it is only 4 notes - boring and not intresting. The song has no actual end - that's maybe intresting - but not more then that! vel.

The song overall is honestly boring as you never introduced a lead that grabbed the attention of the listener. I was however impressed by your structure, and your chorus had a nice feel. I found that using the loops in your song is what made it a bit uninteresting, because when you use loops, unless you are very experienced the limit you to only whats in the loop. The song needed a good grabbing lead, you could have shown us how you use the .xm effects, as i think you have written a few original songs already. I did not like the way you did not track an ending, MC6 is where you enter your best songs, and you dont hear songs on the radio that play for 24 hours a day because the artist could not or didnt bother to write an ending, and ending is a crucial part to a song, as is the beginning, the song should take you somewhere or tell you something, songs are not just notes you put in a tracker, so take some time to give your song an ending even after the competition is over, it just makes it more rounded. The song got boring very quickly, and the acid loop you used didnt work with the song at all, and you avoided tracking your own drums by using drum loops, so this song didnt take much tracking, just keeping everything in time...quite lazy for the premiere internet music competition dont you think? Good Luck.

Iīm sorry to say so, but this tune is not very enjoyable. Very monotonous and few interesting ideas. Lacking meldoy. Some very long loops doesnīt help raising the score either. The transitions arenīt that bad though. The sample quality arenīt very high and the song is far from original in itīs concept.

The title explains it all. This song was basically an insult. It used ripped samples, all low quality. The drumbeat was reused over and over again, as was the rest of the song. There were no key or tempo changes, and no panning whatsoever. Some samples kept going, creating an annoying sound with only a drumbeat backing it up. The whole piece had the feel of taking about 30 minutes, maybe less, to write, explaining the only 7? patterns used. It didn't even end, though! Instead, it looped back to the beginning, where it just kept playing on its way. Nope, think I'll pass...

I can tell the author had a nice idea for this song before writing it, and pretty much stuck with it through the process... but the finished song's *overall sound* is just not clear enough for me to digest. It's just difficult to let go and fall into. The mood is not clear/sharp in this song. The author combines a happy/groovy beat with angry acid, grumpy guitar, and depressing strings... and the result just doesn't work for me. *BUT*... (i've said it before and i'll say it again and i do mean it)... for a rookie it was a real nice attempt. =)
