Dude, this is very nice hardstyle... a little different from what I consider hardstyle (check out my hardstyle song ;P), but nevertheless a great track!
There is too much of this tune that I like, so I'll only list the bad points:
- The intro seemed slightly rogue as it is only heard twice in the song and isn't really dwelled upon throughout the rest of the song... a better intro could be a pre-reverb of the vocals with claps and first lead, then going into the kick, etc.
- End bar drops (like doing mad drum skips at the end of every 4th or 8th bar)
Bleh, these are just personal taste aspects! Everything was fantastic for your own style. The vocals were a great choice =) A hard track all the way (apart from those bell-like sounds which are nice adds =P)
Great work! Love it! 5/5

"Deserves to be played at big concerts! =)"
This sounds very Ian Van Dahl, or at least up there with them lot.
This is a very professional sounding piece you have created here, and I could certainly imaging this being played at places like Gatecrashers and God's Kitchen. This kinda stuff can get you on a CD mate!
I love the euphoric breakdown and even the build-up. Every sound is clear and punchy. The vocals could do with a touch of pre-reverb and could be turned down slightly, as they distort a little bit.
A great full track, extremely professional and I think quite a few british people can relate to it! Nice work!

Thank you, a very nice review :)
Yeah I put alot of work into this one... The vocals however I kinda rushed, I had just bought my new microphone and recorded my voice on the one take... Hadn't even put the pop filter in front of the mike which apparently is supposed to make it sound clearer ;-I
Thanks for the review my new tracks should be better :)

This is truly a masterpiece. Every sound is so well mixed and the melody is awesome, the whole thing sounds so professional!
One thing that bugs me tho is that hollow reverbed sound is a bit over-driven and could do with a bit less mid EQ. Everything else is wonderful.
I could stay here typing about this song for a good 15 mins, but I wont, as the brilliance of this song goes without saying. Great submission, dude! =)

Thanks you for the review Infinity,
It originally had a minimal mid range in the song but I added some arps and stuff to sound like some of the trance I had listened to, and Karco said making some more mid would make it sound fuller, but I guess it's down to taste.

It's nice to hear something old skool here. This is a very good and fast paced, full song you've created here! Love the "3, 2, 1" intro to the bassline =) Great synth fillers too! Progression is brilliant!
Im struggling to find anything wrong with this, but i think the bass could be centred a bit more in terms of stereo, given a less sine-y sound and the kick could be compressed better into the song, i.e. could sound a bit punchier at the start of each beat.
But still, it's so good im gonna download it. Very nice work! Love it! =D

I have absolutely NO idea what you mean about "sine-y sound" what so ever, but that does not change what I am about to say:
Thanks alot for the review, not to mention the score:D

"Ok, but needs moderate adjustment"
I must, very nice work on this. Love the glitchy metallic vocals, especially at the intro where they just sound so crazy XD
However, I feel that there are quite a few things wrong with it, although most of them are due to my own personal taste.
First of all, the vocal parts where it has not timestretching or glitchy processing, sounds quite out of sync still.
Second of all, the drums (in particular the kick drum) do not sound quite loud or compressed enough into the song to make it sound like hardstyle. (Maybe its just the crappy speakers I have now =P)
And lastly the drums seem very plain at times, although there is a glitch fade in of what sounds like a heavily repeated snare or kick, I feel that some more special unique drops could be put in every 8 or 16 bars.
Check out my hardstyle song to get what i mean. It may not have the acid blasting vocals you have, but its my idea of hardstyle. =)
Great tune regardless of these flaws. I will not vote this down, so you get a 5 =D

*Turns up volume*
I really like the version of this track that you've done! It is generally well structured and the use of the vocals are great.
Not to be picky or complaintative however, I have quite a few things that I would like to point out:
The piano and strings sound like they have really been messed about with by a Timestretcher, much like the effect you get on Windows Media Player if you increase the play speed on that. That could do with a readjustment.
The kick drum is also very hidden amongst all the vocals and other drums, so I would suggest that you up the gain and compress it so that it bangs through every other sound without distrupting them. You could also do with giving the bass such characteristics to give the song a bit more balance.
There seems to be NO lead synth in the song, only pianos, strings and the vocals. To make this song totally epic, you need a good, fat arpeggio in with the vocals and in between vocal placements to fill it up a bit more (arpeggios are always an excellent choice =D).
----
That's it really. Sorry if I sound like I'm complaining, especially about stuff that may just be YOUR style. This really is a great remix.
Well done on this! =)
P.S. Check out my other songs =D

You get 1 star for the fact that sound is actually present.
I'd make a better comment, but i don't even know what this is.

I love this kinda "hybrid" song that you have created. It is very original and very enjoyable to listen too =D
I also love that kinda simple yet perfect sounding bass, it fits just brilliant with the happy theme of the song.
I would recommend that the beat be a little loud and increased in bass just a bit, so it measures up to the volume and frequency of the bass.
Altogether though, brilliant work mate! 5/5

"A great mix! Although I must criticise..."
Your attempt at remastering this song has created an incredible imbalance of frequency. There seems to be tons of high and mid, but little bass. It sounds like you put a HPF through it =/ Please add bass, that will make this sound so much better.
Also, although the synth was absolutely awesome, it did not remind me at all of the original hamster dance, which I assume was intended (if it wasn't, my fault). You could have done with the hamster dance sample in there to give it some familiarity. The sample is approximatly 122 BPM and you can simply Google it if you need to get it.
I really do like this mix, it has such a happy vibe to it, but I think it just needs optimising.
