Everything on this song is great.

AeronMusic responds:

And so are you! Thanks!

I agree that you do well when you take more than 5 minutes on a song. I'd agree on the strings; I also wonder if you'd consider changing the chord structure in some of your songs in the backing synths to give some different progressions? Specifically I'm talking about the part of the loop that starts at about 0:43 and ends at 0:55? Different chords would really strike some contrast.

This is actually a pretty dope song. I love the samples and the transition between keys as well as fields of A and B portions. In order to get that drum volume back, you may want to invest in a good mastering program like Ozone. That will help you with the volume issue.

DragonKnights responds:

Thanks man! I really tried hard on this one.. and believe it or not was my first attempt on creating something in a program..

I think if u produced this as serious as you did your other songs it would work. But this may be cuz I just went thru the same thing. The girl called me today, WHILE I WAS LISTENING TO THIS SONG, in fact!! I didn't pick up, cuz I was on my Listerine Spittin game...str8 clean shit. Yo, I totally lurked ur FB page...you have a LOT of hot friends. PICK A NEW ONE!!! LOL

Yeah i just didn't really have the motivation with this song. I had it written, so i figured i'd whip it up real quick and upload. So people know i'm not dead :) I have so much shit written i could put songs out like this everyday for the next month. I just wouldn't be very proud of them. Pretty much used this song to experiment with some effects and whatnot. Practice makes perfect! And hahahah yeah I'm gonna have to do that eventually. Thanks Johnny!

THIS. TRACK. IS. ALSO. THE. SHIT.

THIS. IS. AWESOME.

No personal offense to Godunknown, but I have some serious issues with the review below.

I can't agree with most of the supposedly genre specific advice of GU. First of all, the best musicians are the ones who completely shirk genre, so if that is what he is basing his changes on, my review must at first consist of telling you to shirk any and all advice that tries to pigeonhole you into a particular "accepted" sound. That includes "extending the cymbals, more reverb time on the transitions, etc."

Then he says put more bass in the stuff, but more high end. Well, that would just make the mix sound tinny and non present. That was kind of a WTF moment for me.

So I totally dug the tune, seemed good to me. The one thing I can halfway agree with GU on, but would say a much different way, is to focus on original synth creation. This will bring you your own sound, give you a unique and recognizable image, yet still be recognizable to genre snobs, if that is important. To me it's not. Whatever comes out of me is what comes out.

tomdink responds:

Wow thanks dude! I think that's pretty good advice, especially about original synth creation. That makes a lot of sense to me! Always good to get reviews!!! Thanks SJD!

I didn't notice any lines that were too long because the performance was spot on. I loved this.

Were you depressed when you made this? This is a murder contemplation song. I could see Mobb Deep rhyming over this.

BOULLIE responds:

I wasn't depressed, but I was caught between a moment of reflection and action, stuck in the middle like a shaded grey area, knawmean?

Murder did cross my mind while I was on this though XD
