[Krowe - Juggernaut]

Long buildup... a little too long...

Overall, this song is pretty good. You've certainly done an incredible job as far as mixing and composition goes. However, the one thing that bothered me was the extremely long buildup at the beginning. I understand that you were trying to get the listener pumped for the drop as well as trying to make the drop more intense by building it up then dropping the levels, but I feel that you dragged it out just a bit too long. I actually lost the anticipation you had worked to build up before the drop finally came.
As for the drop itself, I like the sound, but I don't feel like it was quite as hard hitting as it should have been after that long buildup. Perhaps a little bit more low-end would have helped with your wobble. Of course, that's just my preference, and overall it was mixed in extremely well. So, no points off there.
All in all, this song came out incredibly well with the exception (in my opinion of course) of the overly long buildup. Overall, nice tune! 4/5 8/10

I can see where you're coming from. The build-up is pretty lengthy. And I also wish the drop was more hard-hitting, but my mixing skills realllllllllly hinder the outcome of most of my songs :/

I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

I am in awe.

This track is absolutely incredible! You've meshed the orchestra together with the dubstep flawlessly, and the strings sounded incredibly realistic. What did you use to program them?

On another note, I have only two criticisms. Firstly, the wobble bass could have used a little bit more low end to make it sound a bit fuller. It's not a huge deal, though, and it still fit beautifully with the rest of the track. So, no points off there.

Second thing isn't really a criticism, but more of a note. When I listened to this track for the first time, the glitch seemed really out of place and ugly. However, after listening to the track some more, I feel that it really adds to the track and gives it an awesome feel.

Finally, the ending was just insanity. It was so powerful, yet short which leaves the listener wanting more (and in my case listening to this track on loop :D ). Great job on all counts! 5/5 10/10

Nice!

I know this was posted almost a year ago, but it's pretty sick. I'm usually not a big fan of that repetitive bass drum, but it flowed nicely with the music in this case. Also, very nice synths and riffs! 5/5

Thanks for the review! It's better late than never :)
