Here before the front page!

Ok, serious time. This is now one of my favorite works from you. The combination of monologue and instruments make this so emotional. I can tell you really put your heart into recording your lines, and you've only elevated it with the song itself. I felt every bit of the pain, the hurt, and the hopelessness you've conveyed. You've taken me on an emotional roller coaster that I didn't expect to ride tonight lol. I have such massive respect for people who can convey emotions in their music, it's something I've always loved.

Keep on going man, I am a huge fan of what you've done. If this reflects your IRL situation, I hope you figure out how to navigate this. You got this, and I'm so excited to see more from you in the future!

I'm glad the combination gives you an emotional feeling, because it was made with PLENTY of that. Hearing that you felt all of this too... is probably the most fulfilling thing I could have been told about this, because that's my goal for this entire album. Honestly the 8th and 9th were even more emotional to me, but I can understand that they're not suited for everyone's taste.
All of the music I create reflects my life because that's where I draw inspiration. But don't worry! Music is how I express those demons, and how I keep them from affecting my mentality. I'm staying completely upbeat thanks to the freedom of expression music provides.
Thanks for reviewing, have a nice day :)

it wouldve been my fault

These melodies tickle my ear in such a great way, something that could easily get stuck in my head. There's only two pieces of feedback I can give.

At 1:57 the drums seem to be peaking in the waveform. Maybe a compressor to bring it down? It already sounds great, but if you're willing to compress I'm sure you'd be able to raise the volume of the track even more. However, it's not really needed, just up to personal taste.

The drop at 3:00 is epic, I love it! This might be losing the point of your track, but personally I would add a louder bass to really make that drop hit hard. Again, it might not fit with what you're going for in a track, but that's just what I would do.

Overall, yet another amazing OVERSCORE track! Like the guy below said, it's hard to review something when it's almost perfect! All of the stuff I've suggested are just things I would personally do, so it's all up to you to figure out what you'd like to do! I trust your process, as it already is great. Great song! Also it's funny that you've been front paged at least 5 times recently lol.

OVERSCORE responds:

Thanks for such a thorough review, I’ll do my best to address everything you’ve mentioned!
At 1:57, the drums might be sticking out in the NewGrounds visualizer, but they don’t seem to stick out too much in the mix to me, so I thought it was fine.
I probably could have included more bass in that huge drop, but didn’t want to overload the mix. With a wall of sound like that, you gotta be REALLY careful.
Glad you enjoyed, I can’t do anything more for this track since it’s already releasing in this form but I’m proud of it as is tbh. And, crazy fun fact, 10 of the songs on this album have been frontpaged! The last one just now uploaded, so I’ll give it some time lol

Coming from the R4F thread, great ambient track! Your sound selection and arrangement make this perfect for what you're trying to do. When I listened to it, I immediately felt anxious and nervous. Only feedback I have would be more personal taste. When you add a new pad at around 58 seconds, it sounds pretty distorted. My personal taste would remove the distortion (or clipping, if that's what it is) and make it cleaner sounding. However, I understand that for this song you might want to keep it distorted. It's all up to you, I like the way you've composed this track! For what you're going for, you've done it perfectly.
