[~EnV~Come Home]

This is amazing.

Why? I'll tell you: because as soon as I started listening to it, I got out my guitar and started jamming along. That is the definition of being lost in a song, and you have accomplished something that few on this sight have. This is accessible, unlike Ian Slider, and consistent, unlike ParagonX9. It's few faults are irrelevant because it takes you in so well. If I had to criticize it, I would say the chord progression is elementary, IE, lots of other songs have something like it, and your not exactly stepping on uncharted territory with this. But that's irrelevant, because you will wont experience songs like this often. Mad props to you.

[Dead Virus]

I'm sorry

I'm very sorry, but I can;t give this song anything higher then a six. You have the same problem as ParagonX9, in that your songs start off fine, in fact the drums in the begging were rocking awesome. But that doesn't make up for the awkward or incredibly out of place piano and the fact that again, just like in dead tribe, you smash three entirely different songs into one giant one, and while each is good on its own individually, together they all just sound awkward and uncoordinated. Keep trying. I know you can make something awesome. I know you have the skills. Keep working, refining, and working within a set tone, and you'll have something more awesome then Jesus.

[Dead Tribe]

Overall good

This was a really neat track, and I give you massive props for innovation as well as having the guts to try something like this. I certainly don't. The only real problem is the fact that you made it one whole song. It felt like it should have been 3 separate loops, rather then one continuous song. Also that synth thing at the very end is totally out of place and gives the song a weak ending. But overall this song is good. If i get of my ass and make a flash submission, I might even use this song.

[Pikmin: Tutorial]

LOL

Very Cute.

[ParagonX9 - Chaoz Fantasy]

There we go

This is it. This is what I'm talking about. Unlike your other songs, this one doesn't break the tone so suddenly and doesn't have the consistency problems your other ones have. The breaks feel smooth and natural, and your experimentation on the main progression don't get in the way. This is the best song you've made, atleast form the ones I've listened to. Great job.

[Guitars Are Getting Restless]

This is better then ParagonX9

I'm not even kidding. This is a beautiful song. In every single aspect. You can Lose yourself in this song quicker then a fish can lose itself in water. I love the jazzy riffs, and the chemistry between the two instruments is amazing. This is beautiful.

[ParagonX9 - HyperioxX]

It's still very good.

But you slip. The beginning is pure awesome. And then the slow part comes along and it feels so out of place, and the part after that fails to get you pumped up and dancing again. This song suffers from inconsistency problems, just like Chaoz Impact, although in this one its much more apparent. Pick a tone and a theme and stick with it. Inconsistency can work, but it's very very hard, and music is all about being able to get lost in the rhythm.

That's my two cents. Don't feel down though, your still an awesome musician.

[ParagonX9 - Chaoz Impact]

It surprised me.

I had listen to it a while back, and its been about a year since then, and I thought i remembered what it sounded like. Well I didn't. This song blew me out the window. It's very well polished, catchy, and you can lose yourself in it very easily. What it lacks in innovation and consistency it makes up for in the pure skill behind the engineering of the track. I would say the tracks a bit schizophrenic because the opening riffs seem kinda bluesy and it feels a bit odd with all the synths. But it's an awesome song regardless.

[I'm hXc BITCH]

It's nice.

You let the voice get a bit out of hand. Well a lot actually. But I really like the pulsing thing. That's really deep. And the bass is intense as well. And the begining is also nice with the "aaaaa" thing. Keep it up man. I can lose myself in this song.

Mid-Night responds:

I don't gget it, this song was a joke. haha..

[Activate (FL 6)]

The voice gets a little repetitive.

Well that's a lie. It gets very repetitive. I don't know if it needs to be saying that for the whole second half of the song. But everything else is awesome. Keep up the good work.
