TraxInSpace reviews for the song "Back to the riddle" by Sergeisergeievich ======================================== Reviewer: roncli Date of Review: 8/7/98 Overall Impression: 5/10 Creativity: 4/10 Creativity Comment: The idea for the piece was creative, but the song itself is not. There's too much repeating in this piece to keep a listener's interest. Artistic License: 4/10 Artistic License Comment: This piece could use a volume balance. Some instruments (like the strings mentioned below) sound way too loud. Arrangement: 5/10 Arrangement Comment: This piece is very repetative and does nothing for the listener. There should be more varience than there was in this piece. Sample Quality: 6/10 Sample Quality Comment: What sounds like "pizza" strings in this one gets annoying quickly, and sounds out of place. Other than that, the samples are okay in this one. Does It Work as a Piece of Music: Yes Does It Work as Music Comment: Barely. There needs to be more going on to make this piece worth the listen. Review: You hear too much of the same thing in this one. The composer should have changed up the chord scheme to make this piece more interesting. Also, the song's volume was out of balance occasionally. ======================================== Reviewer: Fame Date of Review: 9/21/98 Overall Impression: 6/10 Creativity: 6/10 Creativity Comment: This is something that just required some techniques for the linking of the patterns. They're really natural. Artistic License: 6/10 Artistic License Comment: Did not add many things to my listening experience. A very repetitive kinda song. Arrangement: 6/10 Arrangement Comment: Sample Quality: 8/10 Sample Quality Comment: The only thing that is really great. Does It Work as a Piece of Music: Yes Does It Work as Music Comment: Yet, this song works as a piece of music because it's easily digestible. Review: This is an average song. The kind of song that is easy to listen to, but does not add anything to your listening experience. The beats are kinda repetitive but it's because of the type of the module. Interesting for it has been done by someone from Russia. ======================================== Reviewer: Clark Date of Review: 11/16/98 1:25:08 PM Overall Impression: 5/10 Creativity: 4/10 Creativity Comment: Really typical "average" song, nothing new. Arrangement: 5/10 Arrangement Comment: The drums are mixed too high. Sample Quality: 5/10 Sample Quality Comment: Does It Work as a Piece of Music: No Does It Work as Music Comment: Too simple. Review: This song is far too simple. The melodies are ok, but too simple. The arrangement isn't working either, because the drums are mixed too high. Very average song. ========================================
