[xKore - Magnum (ExPrev)]

hot damn

helluva nice drop. i think i just revisited puberty because of it.

[HW - Progressive Introversion]

here's a real review.

because as an artist myself, i respect the arts that i can't do myself the most.

It's a great track to begin with. the sampling you did, and the bassline throughout the entire song is beautiful. people don't realise that the correct type of bassline can literally relax your entire mind and body. that's what i truely look for in dubstep.

I love the dirtier end of the dubstep genre, but my most favorite end is the mix between Ambient and Dubstep, and you've achieved both ends of the spectrum with this.

the piano in the beginning introduces the progressive feel to the entire track, and that violin in there towards the end is a great touch, it works seamlessly with the entire song itself. this track progresses very slowly, and that's probably why people are bombing it, no patience to hear the entire masterpiece itself.

the song itself is very dramatic. the bassline that hits in the first quarter brings in "fresh air" to keep interest. it's a great touch, i don't see a whole lot that can possibly improve on this, maybe some type of longer bassline through it somehwhere distant in the background or something. i'm not a music-maker.

rated 5/5 and 10/10 because of what's stated above.

in conclusion, the feel of the entire track is very lucid. keep it up, you did a great job!

Thanks a lot afro, great review.

[IDR - Scrap Yard]

i love a new sound

dubstep needs more new sounds to it besides a generic "wobble" in the background. creating a new sound to a genre full of these.. expectations of generic bassdrops, makes the people who bring a new sound to it a pioneer.

this is right up next to mt. eden's work. this is an excelent track, keep it up!

IDReaper responds:

Wow, thank you! =D Glad you thought it was so good.

[Ancient Knowledge]

It's definitely dubstep.

yeah the track has a nice wobble in the background, but you seem to have focused to much DnB into this one. It isn't bad otherwise, so I'm not downvoting. For your first attempt? this is great. 5/5 10/10 yo.

Keep it up. Make it sound more crunchy and dirty.
(that wobble was to quiet)

[Dreaming With The Eagles 2]

first review

this is pretty good. i'd only expect to hear this stuff from someone like mt. eden.

you did a good job, keep it up yo.

only a few are brave enough to actually attempt ambient dubstep, and you did it pretty damn well. congrats!

yeajimmiboi responds:

Thanks a lot bro! :D

[J+Ø: SCKR(Low) >Master< RD2010]

two words

I CAME.

that bassdrop holy DAMN that was wicked sick. good job!

mr-jazzman responds:

Haha wait till you hear some of the drops I've been experimenting with recently! And FiendO's got some wicked drops himself now too, go check em out! =D Thanks for the review man!

[[oZ] ~ No. (Mellow Dubstep)]

think its pretty good

honestly i think this isn't repetitive, contrary to what half are saying.

it's good to experiment and toss in some variation here and there - it's music, and music is art, and art is to not conform to what people think something should be like.

so with that said, i enjoy the variation. anyone else just can't stomach music complexity in a genre that shouldn't be the same old song and dance like Techno or EuroTrance or something, just as an example.

Keep experimenting, it's nice to hear some fresh stuff come out of the dubstep genre. This song does sound absolutely excellent, and keep up the good work. you're doing a great job.

5/5
10/10

[TCB - no_title (dubstep)]
