Отличная работа! Очень интересно слушать изза разнообразия элементов. Особенно мне понравилось вступление гитары, и подводка к последнему дропу
Очень круты и атмосферны эти части
Reviews for "Zenology (NGADM - Round 2)"
9 HOURS!
WOW!? THATS A LOT OF TIME WHEN IT COMES TO YOU!
And damn it, it pulled off! Some transitions could be improved! But the beats themselves completely make it an insignificant mistake! I especially love the vox(?) and acid basses you used! And of course, the signature g2961 epic guitar! This is a drum n bass song of the days!
Amazing work mate, keep it up!
Прочитал коммент с вопросм про то, как ты начал делать музыку, и на душе приятно стало. Причина неизвестна

That very initial intro has a nice hook, and sets the tone for the song pretty well. The hype sections feel loud and overly compressed. You can especially tell like with the piano, it's compressed enough that the hammer strikes (at 0:53) themselves are quite noticeable. The mix is just tiring. While it is loud, it's not unbalanced, which makes me think it's more of a lapse in mastering instead of mixing/eq. I don't have too much else to say on that. It's adequate, but it would be nicer to have more headroom before maxing out the mix. I understand that you have a lot of sounds going on at the same time so I do appreciate what it took to be as clean as it is.
Compositionally, it feels super hype and frantic, but at the same time it doesn't feel varied. I do like that it has retro EDM feels, like OG Newgrounds with ParagonX9. Originally I felt like the sections don't feel varied on my first listen though, however as I have listened through it a couple of times I appreciate what you did to separate the sections. What I did notice is that while they are compositionally different, they have the same feel of energy. Most of the song feels a lot like "I'm sonic! I gotta go fast!" Some of that might come down to how you've done the mastering, and some of that could be that the melody doesn't slow down at all either. Stylistically, it definitely doesn't help that you have a high BPM for this style of music even though I'm not against it. However I do like the sliding driving bass in the last section and it really adds a good element. The outro feels like it just ends which I feel like is kind of a let down. I really liked the 1:14 section with the acid synths, and you did a good job of making a big open space in 1:58. It's similar to how I've done song progressions in the past since I tend to like making similarly big spaces.
Generally speaking, I feel tired after listening to the song lol. But it's a fun ride, so I'd say it's a good work :)
