[Isalick34 - Ran Out of Building Materials]

(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: 11

Mixing: 11

13/8 implementation: 11

Other thoughts: Big props for your time sig switch being to another odd signature, but I didn't find the overall composition to be very compelling. The feeling you're trying to covey comes across well, but some decisions were a bit odd or unmemorable to me. Additionally, the switch from sounding ominous to sounding almost carnival-esque towards the end struck me as a little odd. Overall though, I did enjoy the track. It reminded me of something I might hear from a pinball machine, in a good way!

Average score: 11

Thank you for joining the competition!

Isalick33 responds:

Thanks for the feedback, I like to make everything weird.

(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: 10

Mixing: 10

13/8 implementation: 11

Other thoughts: I think there's some good ideas here, enough to where I can see the direction you're heading in. However, a lack of direction and some seemingly out of key notes hold the song back in my eyes. Additionally, the drums may have benefitted from being more electronic-sounding.

Average score: 10.3

Thank you for joining the competition!

[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!

[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!

SteveMaddenFootball 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-)
