"Take You to Hell" reviews

Well, I don't know that "Take You To Hell" will get any more reviews at Garageband...it's been entered for a long time now...so I might as well post them all here for posterity. The song will still be there if you want to hear it. I'll provide the link at the end of this post, and by all means, listen to some of the other songs I have to offer on the website.

And now, the good, the bad and the ugly, from most recent to earliest:


~~~Electronica~~~
Maybe this song would be better placed at experimental electronica, but who I am to say?
Synthetized sounds, some recurring quotes, no really singing. Experimental for sure, but it didn´t get me at all. The melody is quite repetitive, not for my tastes.

~~~clutch into~~~
immediately refreshing, trip. but takes a bit of a grip to cut into the hook etc and make it a cram nasty mixolydian groove hook. drums sound good. voice/
- Deviants from San Francisco, California on 17Sep2008

~~~Interesting electronica~~~
the general arrangement of the song is nice. the old movie dialogues in the background add interest to the nice vibe of the music.
- WJMcKay from Santa Cruz Mountains, California on 5Sep2008

~~~Herbie~~~
The synths sound rad, a lot like Herbie Hancock.
The vocals are good too, keeps the track interesting and ever changing.
The electronic drums are a good support for the space age tune.
You guys sound like Plaid and Squarepusher.
Relaxed mood that is definitely trippy.

~~~Nice guitars~~~
the guitars are nice and i like the general idea.
- FluvenHuven from Israel on 29Aug2008 spacy
to me as a total amatuer the mix is good but a little crowded, some warmth is gained for a loss in distinction. Mood is not harsh, but edgy. as a soundalike i suggest duritti column crossed with orb.
- davidjubb from Bolton, Lancashire, United Kingdom on 28Aug2008

~~~ Very Interesting Arrangment~~~
The Arrangment Never Lets You Of Your Guard,which is great to me cause thats what im looking in a song.nice programming,regarding the mix-i was missing the low end,maybe its the streaming quality though.
i didnt really get into any mood with this so i cant react to that.
- MysteryForever from Israel on 28Aug2008

~~~Love the Chatter~~~
Interesting intro, I always like the lo-fi chatter background if its applied tastefully, and it is here nice job.
Great build up, very smooth.
Good bass, a little quiet.
Great mood, Im lousy at describing mood directly, so I have to go with vague metaphor through description of what I see. For you guys its a walk down a busy, but not overly crowded street, where you can make out snippets of persons lives and days as you walk past. Its kind of soothing really.
Well mixed, no real comments there, sorry guys.
Same with who you sound like, you sound like yourselves! Which in this case, is a very good thing.
Keep up the great work!

~~~funk in the trunk~~~
very cool vibe to this song, love the bass line idea and all the sound effects that accompany it. i find myself wondering if this has any relevance to the composer's personal life and it intrigues me to look into more. it sounds like this was mostly made with the computer but i must say that you have learnt the program very well and created something beautiful with it. absolutely no critisms for i really enjoyed it.

~~~I am a sinner~~~
Not sure this belongs in the Experimental Rock genre. Sounds more like straight electro-chill. The funky midi bass wah is appreciated...thought of Herbie Hancock thumping on stage, then the beat moves in and spins it right onto the dance floor. Way to change the tone of drums at about 2 minutes to clean up the sound and add contrast. You would dig De Phazz, Caia, Blue States. Great background piece for a party. The use of dialogue is very well done. Beat and mood are consistent and keep the track moving steadily from beginning to end. Simple structure, but simple is works perfectly here. Good stuff my fellow musician.

~~~Pretty rad song~~~
I really like the music to the first part, it has a strange urban vibe. The guitars(i believE) are also pretty sweet. The only thing really turning me off of this song is the samples.
- ShatterSubOne from Berlin, Michigan on 17Aug2008

~~~he's preaching to me~~~
I like the mix and the mood. The voices seemed to be placed in the appropriate speakers and they are not too loud.
Mood is interesting. The music seems to be a juxtaposition of the voices. So, it feels ironic.
Not sure who you sound like. Maybe Porcupine Tree.
- ENM from Mount Pleasant, Michigan on 12Aug2008

~~~Samples and Sweeping Synths~~~
This is a down tempo track led by vocal samples. The beats are chill and complimented by the sweeping synths. The vocal samples could use a little more clarity but didn't stop me from bobbing my head.
- ShycoMcPhatz from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada on 10Aug2008

~~~What is sin, What is untouchable~~~
The mix just starts out abruptly
with a sermon. Sin touching your soul. Never. Can't touch me there.
The sermon continues, is the sermon authorized? The loops meander and scatter with panning
and pitch modulation. The sermon is panned to the left speaker.
Which promotes analytical right
brain activity. The best part of the brain, in my opinion is frontal cortex, which is responsible for potential violant
and impulsive behavior. Damgae to this area can result in irrational behavior. Sin, what is sin ? Violating the laws of society? Violating the laws of
the judicial system. Violating the laws of God, Mohamad, Buddah,
and Vishnu? Is this a parody on Reverend Wright?
The mix has an Earthy flavor, like fried Possum. Sin often has that delicate fresh intestinal flavor. forgive me, I will recite 20 Our Fathers and 10 Hail Marys,
while I sit at my computer texting

~~~The doctor says it's over~~~
This one starts off on an interesting note using samples and effected deep bass tones over a programmed beat. We can hear bits and pieces of the vocal samples used peeking through the computerized music. "The doctor says I'm sorry, it's just a matter of days or weeks..." one of the samples clearly heard that gives this a desperate mood. You've done a good job on the mix, I like when the more organic sounding drums come in and you've done a great job of bringing different elements to the foreground here and there. This keeps the listener's attention by allowing us to taste the different spices used in your audio stew. Not quite sure who you sound like but this is definitely an aural collage of sounds. It is experimental but not rock in any way. The loops created were nice but lack real emotion. Great job on the production end, though, as you keep all of the elements seperated and the overall sound is clear.

~~~nice beats~~~
a lot of songs have narration stuff to start out, so... i'm gonna' need something else to reel me in. so far, the beat there sounds real cool. i like the work done with the words as the song moves on. nice atmospheric sounds. i like the beats that come in and out the most throughout the song. maybe this song should be in the experimental electronica genre?
- bunnybrown from Los Angeles, California on 30Jul2008 ...

~~~(no title?)~~~
i like the samples and how they were used. the song is just a little too boring for me though. mix was good, but nothing exciting.
- darkestofwhite from Green Bay, Wisconsin on 16Jul2008

~~~SIGASIGASAMPLE~~~
sampling madness... with geetar or something topping it off. sounds like something i would do kind of. i am liking mucho. KOOLAIDCHAINSAW.
- koolaidchainsaw from Lincoln, Nebraska on 10Jul2008

~~~retro space~~~
sounds very interesting coming in, then it goes into some kinda retro space with media contents..I'm not sure how musical this thing is but I still like it!!!
- yu123 from Oak Grove, Kentucky on 5Jul2008

~~~Very Interesting Song Experimentally~~~
This song is interesting from the start because I am trying to hear all the effects and get into the groove of the rhythm. the vocals sounds a little like rap in the background and then talking.
Really good guitar effects delays, reverbs, echos and whatever else you got going on. I would love to be able to pick out all the vocals.
Musically this is well done, nicely produced and mixed. Good stuff.

~~~space jazz on jupiter!~~~
very innovative. this song is a perfect example of not always needing a direct beat to still have a groove. i love the work with the samples in the background. what really catches me with this song is the simple elegance in the guitar playing, it works well. this is the vibe i would imagine if Jupiter had a jazz lounge!
- OO@40499153~apokafunk from G-Town, Texas on 3Jul2008

~~~Trippy~~~
Nice intro, i like that sampled voice. It sounds like dub, very trippy. This song is very inspiring, since it's a little different from what I'm used to hear. Very good song to sit back and relax. Keep up!
