[Still Alive (Remix)]

Yeah, it's okay. Nice job.

Sorry man. It's a really great song and all, its just... the words are what I love so much about the original version. Its the humour in the original song that just gets me every time I listen to it. Don't get me wrong, this is a great song, I really like your version of it.

Great beat to it though. I really like the kinda techno feel you gave to it. Has a more upbeat feel to it, which I really like :P
Also, the "beepy" beat adds a little bit of GLaDOS to this song, which I think is also pretty awesome. I think it would've been cooler with an intro though, maybe like... a really funny GLaDOS or turret quote. They can be found in the resources folder in portal, under sounds. And also maybe a slightly longer ending, but apart from those points, awesome song. Nice work!

Believe me, I wish I could add vocals too! The moment I can, I will :)
Thanks for the review!

[Brambles {RMX}]

Well...

This is one of my favourite songs on brawl, and yours didn't disappoint.
However, what I loved about the brawl version, is its use of strings. You've obviously taken a different approach to the song, and I respect that, but it doesn't exactly live up to the brawl one. Then again, that's a fucking hard song to live up to.

Great job, I like the ambient mood of this song, its pretty calming. Not sure about the electric guitar type noises, but I guess it just adds to the overall mood of the song.
I enjoyed it, but the fact that I've heard the brawl version kinda ruins it for me. However, I won't hold that against you, you've made an awesome song here :P

8/10, 4/5.

hey thx for even reviewing this. I am aware that brawl did it better, and i plan on remaking this. to be honest, I love brawl's version better than all the other remixes i've heard. ^_^v

[Drums Of War II]

Epic.

I absolutely love this song.
It just... reeks of epicness. Brilliant.
The heavy drums really get to you, and I love the strings, it just brings the whole song together.
Works great for an intro, I love it!

Seriously, great work man!

[South Windsor Ft. J-Kellz]

Wait a sec...

Why the fuck does everyone hate this?
Sure, the beat isn't yours, but it's obvious to see that you've put quite a lot of effort into this song. A "0"? C'mon, that's a little harsh. Even a 5 is just stupid.
Pretty good lyrics, porno bit was overdone, but amusing, and J-Kellz bit was awesome. Vinny B... eh, you need to get a better microphone I think, but you can at least spit out a pretty good rhyme, no stuttering or anything, pretty awesome.

All in all, it had its flaws, but it's a pretty damn good song.
Nice job guys. And this is coming from someone who fucking HATES 50 cent and eminem.

[Mad World Instrumental.]

Very well done.

A bit off, but it has the same feel.
The only thing that was really long with it, was that the notes are a bit... short and choppy, if you know what I mean.
They don't flow like in the original version.

Still, you're a very talented piano player, and this is a great, really moving song.

Happy birthday, happy birthday...
Yeah, good job man.

[Bridal Creeper]

Love it!

Abso-fucking-awesome song, I love this.
I actually can't stop listening to it, it's just so awesome!

Intro's great, endings good, and everything in between is just brilliant.
Really good to just listen, and chill to.
Well done, awesome song :D

WritersBlock responds:

Thanks, mate! So glad to hear you like it.

[To Be Continued]

Freaking awesome.

Punk isn't dead, and this song proves it!
This song is awesome. Starts off great, and ends great. Great guitar, and absolutely awesome drums. Oh, and great vocals.

Everything about this song ROCKS! Sometimes the vocals were a little bit off, but its hardly noticed. Besides, this is mainstream radio worthy! Seriously, I've heard waaaay worse songs in the charts. I wish your band good luck in the future, you have the potential to become chart smashing!

Congrats on Number ONE in all time top scoring!!!
Again, love this song, and well done.

[[Trance Mix 2 g-R]]

Fucking sick.

Not a bad start, awesome song, brilliant ending.
I loved this. I mean, its a bit of a generic rave song at first, but it gets so much better.

Very upbeat, very awesome, love the bass.

Keep it up, awesome work man!
<3

[Music Is My Extasy [Remix]]

Awesome. :D

It's a great song, but I absolutely LOVE 0:56 onwards. That rhythm from 0:56 onwards makes the song IMO. Great lead up as well.
Well done, fantastic song altogether. The beat, the ambience, the vocals.

You did a great job, love it.
<3

[He's going to be the...]

Nice!

Top 6! Congrats!
Anyway, I thought it was pretty decent. A bit generic at times, but the piano worked well throughout. The dialog was a bit of an anti-climax, but meh. Scratching fitted in well, and you led up to some bits very nicely. Nice job, you're pretty skilled at what you do.

Well done!

(Just as a sidenote, what was the speech exert from?)
