Genre: Classical
REVIEW
-------
- INTRO = 2/2
--- A magnificent build up into the main theme, i can say that this got my attention instantly, and at the same time it stirred up a large conflict of
emotions within me. I felt that the sad feeling portrayed by the song relates perfectly with everything ive gone through. And i also love how it always
mantained a slight degree of hope to its music. Utterly superb.
- BLEND = 2/2
--- A real highlight of the song, the way the instruments seemed to blend together so well just made the listening experience so much better. I love how
theres a lot going on at any point of the song, with alternating instruments and melodies, and how they just mingled together to form such a great whole. The
use of strings was a particular help to this aspect, because the way they shifted and changed help to make some sections a sheer joy to hear. Great work!
- TRANSITIONS = 3/3
--- Pretty well done, they mantained the flow of the song almost perfectly, and i feel that that's important in any classical song of this style, so the fact
that you did it this well makes it a great addition to your score. The current of the song was pretty constant, and the nice use of climaxes and short
anticlimaxes gave the song a nice ebb and flow. Nice work!
- BASS (DEPTH) = 1.5/2
--- Not bad, but it could've been better. Most sections of the song were pretty well layered, with some nice secondary melodies and chords to give the song a
sort of 3D feel which was quite enjoyable, however some other sections werent quite as good and could have used several more layers to their respective
melodies. Other than that, i liked the original chord progressions and how the instruments were pretty well humanized. Decent work.
- ORIGINALITY = 3/3
--- Pretty original, despite the fact that its very similar to some of your other songs, but there's nothing wrong with that as every artist needs his own
unique style. I liked the variety of different melodies that you used, and the cool voices in the background gave the song a fantastic atmospheric sound.
Overall, i'd say that you did great on this aspect too. Well done!
- DRUMS = 1/2
--- As usual, drums aren't exactly your strong point. Sure these had a good punch and directly put the message through, but they weren't used as well as they
might have been. Especially in parts were there was a constant use of drums, the use of some variety in terms of secondary drums would have been better, and
i wasnt a particular fan of how they started and finished without a real transition. Still, not horrible, just not great either.
- MELODIES = 4/4
--- Now while drums might not be your strong point, melodies certainly are. I love the sheer emotion you manage to pack into each note. the tension, the
sadness, the desperation; purely superb. I also admire the fact that they sound as if they've actually been played by a real orchestra, which is always a
sign of good humanizing, and thats a sign of work being put into a piece of music. So overall, id say that the melodies on this are brillian. Fantastic work.
- OUTRO = 0.5/2
--- Probably the only thing that really really bugged me was the fact that this song didn't actually have an outro. It just ended abruptly and without any
sort of indication as to why it ended. Now this would've been acceptable in a loop, but seeing as the intro of this doesn't link well with the outro, it
makes the lack of any sort of anticlimax a real let down.
