Black cloud and Silver Linings? Totally a Dream Theater Album. Maybe similar to Trial, Error, and Silver Linings? Anyways,

Quite enjoy this song. Love when you get to put some grove in your riffs. I didn't notice the clipping. But it does seem that your drums are ridic loud.

Favorite part, 1:06. Right after the heaviness and build up!!! Then, let me grove on my guitar and have a groovy drum beat. The next transition i feel is not quite as smooth. Although the next section is after that little bit is heavy as fuck. Breakdown! And then it dies off...

Your shit could be extended! As most of your WIPs i guess. But love what you have done with this.

Burn7 responds:

FUCK YEAH! I love the 1:06 part, I want to just write music like that all the time, just groove forever. But I'm not quite that good yet. I need to work on my grooviness skills. Maybe I should play bass lolol...

We seriously need to jam soon or I'm going to die. We can either set up at your parent's place or my pa's new house cause his neighbors need to know who they're fucking with :3

I really like the buildup at the beginning, with the guitar riff building along with the drums. And then the drivingness of the next part is great. Into a pretty sweet little chorus-y riff.

Always love your soloing. Doesn't always have to be a crazy speedy solo, you always seem to deliver. The weirdness of this solo fits in quite well i feel with this song.

I feel like the drums could use a little spice in a few places. But as I know you probably eventually will, if you ever get back to this song. It also could be continued on in a few different ways. Sorta ends abruptly.

Like the song though. Nice addition to this months medly.

Burn7 responds:

Haha, thanks for the feedback man! It seems like I get less and less of this nowadays, honest feedback I mean.

The drums are pretty lacking, I wish I had more time for each song. But quantity > quality for this month D:

Just a straight up comparison to the first, it is in insane improvement. The mixing/mastering and placement of each drum piece, each guitar, and the bass are greatly improved. The first, the drums and bass guitar were very muddled and awfully heavy. This, the guitars are much cleaner and clearer. Each drums pieces is very distinguishable from the other, snare and kick particularly.

Great improvement made to about :35. Nice effect/addition there to fill in the emptiness that was there before. Also deeper drums help too. Right after, at about 1:05, the crazy drums, also great improvement from the original.

1:25, personally, I like the original better. It has a more "lully", dont know how else to describe it, feeling of just the guitars with minimal drums. I like the fullness that you put into the drums of the new one, just kinda liked the original.

Solo at 1:46, also like the original better. The old solo, the speediness, the specific rhythm pattern and usage, is just very your style. Possibly older style, maybe the new style is better? Plus the new solo continues the song, so... guess its better. But the solo does end, sorta abruptly.

But love the next sections rhythm pattern. The harmony is awesome. Plus, the great drumming to go in the back.

The panning of the guitars, for the next section, is always nice.

3:27, this is the great solo from the original that i was talking about. Then its breaks down into an awesome rhythm. And the drumming is ever-changing and so awesome! Lol with the random insane drum part that you always do.

I like the choice to bring it back to that original solo patterning to end with. And then it has that effect, and brings it back again. Its a nice little, loopty. Thats what i'm going to call it.

Anyways... hell of long review. Can't wait to hear the next additions:) Great song as always.

Burn7 responds:

FUCK YES. I miss the days when you used to review my shit all-in depth and specific like this. It was insanely helpful.

I love you

Reminds me of when we played this song together once... but without the cool additions at the end. Great to hear new shit from you.

Heavyness, that is what I think when I hear the new additions. Mmm... exactly what you want in a good metal song. My brain is getting thoroughly massaged right now. Great 7 stringness going on. Lol anyways... I maybe me ramblin'.

Anyways... great additions. And I actually really like the abbruptness of the ending. The end...

Burn7 responds:

Who are you again?

Any other die hard Burn7 fans notice the similarity in the solo at 1:35 to another Burn7 song?

Regardless, good work. Can't wait to here more from the EP.

Burn7 responds:

I have die hard fans? What, did every other band die?

And this is a slanderous lie. I, Burn7, would NEVER copy one of my own songs' styling or sound and try to incorporate it into other songs. That's like cheating off my own test!

(See: The outro solo for Reprimand/the main melody of the removed song "Suspended Depression; The drum beat for "-B7- The Showdown" VS The drum beat for "B7 - Riptide?")

Intro... ?

The intro is so long... I'm guessing this was intro video or menu screen music or something? And I dont really see much to the song... so yeah.

Adam-Beilgard responds:

During Game Jam 6, my team had conceptualized doing Joan of Arc and her descent into madness. This was going to be either the title screen music (which would be long, I know) or her introductory 'cut scene' before the player takes control of her.

I'm not sure what you mean when you say you don't see much to it, but thanks for the review!

First in a while

First time reviewing anything in a while... but I love it! Love the breakdown. Oh and your mixing and mastering on this song, at least with my skullcandy's is fucking amazing. Every bass kick and even each individual snare hits are very defined. Nice work man. Very much enjoyed:)

Burn7 responds:

Lol yes, it has been quite a while. I'm glad you noticed the drumset definition since I actually did sit there for a little bit and work on it.

Glad that you're back on what us cool peeps call "The Internets".

Lol

This song turned from anger and depression to... Lets kick some ass! Love the drum kit you added. I enjoy the lead synth/background synth thingy, although it repeats a lot. Lol one of the parts in the song kinda reminds me of Zelda.

And at 2:35, the phaser or whatever you have on there pops really really bad. lol It was kinda bothering me. You know how little things like that bother me.

I also agree that you went a little overboard at some parts with the effects. Overall it was a wonderful idea though.

Burn7 responds:

Lol it's amazing what a simple drumkit can do for the badassitude of your song.

Yeah I know, I really didn't even mean to keep that filtering effect I had at 2:33 anyway, so I'll fix that.

Seriously though, one thing I have learned from writing this is that FX can really make a song. So I'll be playing with them a lot more often now :D

Great great!

Listen to this with headphones. Makes quite a difference. At like 1:55ish, you are playing a pretty complex pattern. And when you have it on speakers, you can't tell very well. It kinda just sounds mushed together. When you use headphones, it is very very clear.

Also like the cleaned up faster parts throughout the song.

Love the new effect on the guitar at 2:37. Awesome!

Also headphones make a huge difference in hearing the placement of everything. Guitars on both sides, drums in the middle, etc...

Love the pokemon sound effects in it:) glad you decided to add those back in.

One thing i did notice that not sure i liked, i guess i didnt hate it though, just different. You changed the very very beginning intro sound just a little bit. Not
sure why. But whatever. Doesnt sound bad.

One thing I did notice about the whole song, is everything flows so much smoother. The guitars flow much much better with the re-recording. And everything fits perfectly with everything else.

Love the new one, loved the old one. Keep on making that bad ass music!

Burn7 responds:

That's right you sit there and compliment my song. I know where you live.

Love:)

So many hours spent listening to this song... Blue, Red, and yellow versions... many hours making up my own little things to this song because you've heard it so many times. Anyways, love the song as always.

Burn7 responds:

Thanks dude. Always awesome to have you check my shit :D
