Score: 10

"... oh wow."

submission: Guitar Vs. Piano

It's unbelievably rare that something earns a high score from me, much less a 10, but this is beyond imagination. How you managed to pull this off with so few instrument tracks is awe-inspiring, and the title you used is a large part of what gives the song its meaning. If you'd used a more traditional, phrased title I don't think half as many people (myself included) would have been able to appreciate it as they do now.

Excellent work in all aspects, I honestly don't know what I could recommend to improve this.

Score: 9

"No menagerie of 10's on this one?"

I'm actually surprised, because I really enjoyed it. True, there are songs of yours that I've enjoyed more, and trance isn't my favorite genre (which isn't to say I don't enjoy it), but it's very melodic, and that much I love.

Glad to see the 'bot is still going strong, though. I haven't gone through your songs since you submitted Heaven is Open - good job.

"Fantastic song,"

But how in the world did Fullmetal Alchemist inspire it? I must be having trouble hearing the connection.

Score: 8

"Truly fantastic."

submission: Circus to my Sanity

date: October 6, 2009

My first impression wasn't unlike that of Zelda's Song of Storms, but the feel seemed to fluctuate throughout the song. A few other themes I noticed were mafia-like and, of course, the original "deranged circus" feel.

While the song itself didn't vary too much throughout, I was captivated enough to listen to it all the way through. The surge of activity around 2:22 was a nice touch, and while this isn't my taste in music to a T, it far surpasses anything I could accomplish, and you painted the picture you set out to portray flawlessly, so for that I salute you. 8 points.

Score: 7

"Slow to start and a little repetitive..."

submission: Drunken Sailors dance mix

date: September 25, 2009

... but otherwise fantastic. I wouldn't say it deserves the #1 spot, but I got a chuckle out of it, so let's say 7 points.

About the only constructive criticism I can give is the second stage of the song, right after the techno elements start to kick on. The chord repetition did seem a little stereotypical/out of place, so either starting the synchronized techno elements earlier on or using a slightly more subtle introduction would probably boost you up a few points on my vote.

In any case, hats off to you, much better than I could ever hope to manage.

Score: 10

"As timeless as... um... time."

Still as fantastic as ever. I've been hunting for this song ever since seeing Yoshi's Jam Session. Better than most, if not all of Psybot's, personally.

Keep up the good work. Easy 10.
