[13 Hot Dogs Over 8 Buns]

(Please note that instead of being scored on a 0-5 point scale, tracks are judged on an 8-13 point scale, with 8 being the lowest score and 13 being the highest.)

Composition: 12

Mixing: 13

13/8 implementation: 12

Other thoughts: Doing my best to set my bias aside since we've worked together many times before and I'm a fan of your music, but gosh darn it man can you shred. The composition has a lot of great ideas, but they ultimately feel disjointed - although that sort of feels like the point! I was going to score the composition at an 11.5 due to this, but the solo bumped it up.

Average score: 12.3

Thank you for joining the competition!

CrossCarrasco responds:

I appreciate the generous review haha. This was a fun competition idea.

[Up On The Housetop: THE MOVIE!]

This track makes me laugh every time I listen to it. Super great idea executed excellently!

(Seeing that this was inspired by Chug Jug is INSANE btw)

Irish-Soul responds:

Specifically the Rok Nardin version of Chug Jug. Rok Nardin has other "trailer like" tracks but that one is the funniest to me.

Also, glad you like it!

nexketch responds:

i would die

[THA YOINKY SPLOINKY]

this is SO SIGMA

Made me laugh lol, but also very groovy. I can imagine a full rap track over this. Nice stuff

LazyKitten21 responds:

I planned to rap over the whole thing but i was having too much fun and got lazy. Thanks as always.

[AhWham / 25 / A100]

Lovely hearing about Wham’s history and philosophy. And Aalasteir is such a natural host; the conversation felt guided very professionally!

Aalasteir responds:

Hello MH4! I'm super happy to see you!

I fully agree! Wham is awesome!

[2023 rejects - gonna cry ?]

These tracks being your "rejects" is so wild dawg; even your scrapped songs go crazy...the little melody at 0:40 adds a lot to this one!

nexketch responds:

bit of trivia i started making this as a BF vs Mettaton FNF track for funsies and that little melody was intended to be for their voices

[2023 rejects - like flora]

YOOO so glad this is finally public! Thank you again for letting me leak this on the FP Blog all those months ago :)

Love the relaxed feel this one has; it's very easy to just vibe to. It really gets you in a "flow" headspace. I also think the mixing and instrumentation, as usual, are awesome.

nexketch responds:

thank u dude :-J

[Jungle Funkin']

This was one of the segments that I did the vocals for myself, and I think it you did perfectly with the requirements for the collab! An instrumental that stands by itself, but that also lends itself to the vocals nicely. Well done!!

xanxoepico responds:

Ay thanks! I think I remember my train of thought being to have a lot of chords to make it easier to pick notes for the vocals so it makes sense it'd lend to vocals 0-)

[Winter Lives Within Me]

Perfectly melancholy, jumping between sounding hopeful and destitute. That feeling of looking for direction is exacerbated by the juxtaposition between the lower vocals and higher vocals; as they jump between each other, it's almost as if two aspects of yourself are finally realigning.

Your signature skills shine through, with your lyricism and passionate solos shining through as the hallmarks of this track. (Seriously, that solo is so sick. Every time I hear a CrossCarrasco solo I'm floored.)

Good to have you back on NG, Cross! So sorry to hear about your loss.

CrossCarrasco responds:

Thanks man! 😊 Always glad to hear from you

[BOING (ORIGINAL MIX)]

the transitions from 4/4 to 3/4 and back are so tasty dawg......

rxdial responds:

OK UR NOT GONNA BELIEVE ME BUT IT'S ACTUALLY A TRANSITION TO 12/8 LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO thank you though it means a lot, many people dislike my work and it's taken a bit of a toll on my mental health.
I keep hitting a wall and trying to improve my craft everyday as much as I can, until I can make people happy with my work.
