"And Again..."

submission: BeautifulSound(DaisyChain)

date: September 20, 2009

I must repeat that I would rock out with you any day. You have serious chops on the guitars. I imagine several of your influencers would feel put to shame if they were to hear this. Great work :D

Score: 8

"I'd rock out with you"

submission: Coming Home (Daisy Chain)

date: September 20, 2009

It's a little messy, but you said you didn't want it as ambient, so you did very well making a fuzzy, fun little thing. I really, really like it. Again, like most people, I have complaints about the drums. They're very well in the pocket, but the cymbals and high hats are a tad distracting. Still, this is so gosh damn happy! I do hope you keep it up!

Oh, and those strings at the end: phenomenal.

Score: 7

"Decent Ideas"

submission: Post-Hardcore Song 2 (Final)

date: April 28, 2009

The compositions are strong, but the execution is kind of unpleasant. This is something that would work well with a real band, but programme sounds don't do your ideas justice, I don't feel. Keep at it though!

Score: 8

"Sounds Like Year Zero"

submission: Vindictive Illusions

date: April 6, 2009

You done good XD. It's a tad plodding without lyrics or something else going in there, some good hook, but the sounds and that pulsing bass are really really good. The backing, droning synths are really good too.

Score: 7

"*shrug*"

submission: Chrysler Aurora

date: April 5, 2009

Not as good as the other one I commented on, but I like it. The bass tone reminds me of the Cure, and I'd say the general song is more post-punk than straight punk, but that's no discredit to it.

Score: 9

"No Worries"

submission: learn to swim

date: April 5, 2009

Don't hate on the drummer too terribly much. His voice sits somewhere between the vocals you'd hear on a Strokes song and what you'd hear from Alkaline Trio. He actually sounds great for something that I'm assuming is indie. As for the rest of the song, it's very clean and crisp, so again you all deserve to be commended. Any more info you can give me about your band?
Oh, and if you just cut the name down to All I've Known, you would probably have a good band name. Be proud of yourselves though for sure; it sounds great.

Score: 10

"The Single..."

submission: Sound Barrier (Original Mix)

date: March 22, 2009

...best song I've ever heard on Newgrounds, hands-down. My only complaint is that the breakdown starting at 45 secs is WAY too long. Still, that guitar is ridiculously amazing. IDK if you really played it or if it was programed, but it's shredtastic and kinda puts a lot of the "Metal" players on here to shame. I want more of this sort of thing, and I definitely want the final version!

Score: 8

"Good Composition"

submission: Gothic Song Pre-Release

date: March 14, 2009

On any voice but the keys or synth you used, like with a real band, this could be pretty awe-inspiring. That lead is pretty awesome. I could see a good deathrock band pulling this off. If you came back to it later in a different form, I'd be rather pleased :)

Score: 8

"A strong effort"

submission: Ambient Watermelons

date: November 29, 2008

Sure, it's not going to be everyone's cup of tea, but it's solid for what you were going for. I figure some folks will get their boxers in a bunch over it being described as "goth" but that's such a vague term any more, like saying "alternative." Personally, I think the description is just fine. My big complaint is that the bass is a little too strong. It may have actually been more captivating if it hadn't been distorted. It would have been very Depeche Mode or Cure-esque. I'm still really fond of the droning background noise and the clicky bits. Makes a really good loop too :D. Hope to see more good work from you!

Score: 8

"Cocteau Twins Much?"

submission: Memory of Marbles

date: November 21, 2008

All the layered vocals and the sparse guitar work really make me feel that similarity. It's interesting, very restful. Still, is that or isn't that English?
