Or you'll get TUBED Srsly though, stellar mixes this week folks. I'm loving this compo!

One-line reviews. Experiment - Really digging this, especially the sound & the weirdish distorted square? lead, only the bass seems to be playing a different tune at points. Apart from that I like the strange feel. You Know The Game - Vote for change. Vote Maverick. Vote Astley. Tortured by Dreams - Nice combo of black metal cheese and synthy synth cheese. Lots of variation. I do feel it was on the same gear throughout (even with the drop and all), but I think it was all right in the end. I appreciate the time sig change in the drop. The writing in the drop, mainly the bell-y synth was kind of unfocused. Generally the arrangement could've "gone somewhere" more for my tastes. Overall tons of ideas & creativity, unexpected combinations & enjoyable journey. Myth Lab - Admit it, it feels good to rickroll. You did this just to do that. What's with the H in Astley anyway. Anyway, solid stuff. The chord progression in the instrumental part brings a nice sense of movement to the arrangement, the brief synth solo is very nice. I appreciate WillRock's effort, nice that you chose to leave it like that, embracing the process et cetera. Reminds me of OCR Talkback, which I miss. We are Many, We are One - super digging the sound & deliberate pacing. The structure doesn't sound fully realized, starting and ending quite abruptly. Good stuff though. A change in chord progression at some point was very effective. Beautiful Bloody Bats - cheezy listening sounds, but some dark vibe in the arrangement itself. Lots of room left in the mix, nice, it works. Some off-harmony stuff on the e-piano around 1:20? 1:48 the melody comes in really well. I quite like this, kinda meandering but doesn' seem to lose the point. Gate's Secret Dream Lab - interestingly similar to previous track. Much more defined structure & full sound in comparison. Make for a fun segue. There's a couple of chords really off here and there. Otherwise I really like what I hear, nice full sound with good leadwork, good flow to the track. Really need to double check those chords. Lost Chemistry - strange fade before 1:00 mark, seems to kick off only afterwards. Lacks a bassline. Feels like it could use one. Weird harmony 1:50-2:06. I like the overall sound & the driving beat & bell/epiano riff. Out of Time - punk-metal feel, I appreciate! There's a bit where the chords & melody doesn't quite work together (0:47-0:48 & 0:56-0:57) though I like what you're going for. Mixing is murky/unbalanced, structure feels incomplete (I don't mind that it's short) and I think I get what you mean with the title, I still enjoyed it!

I would like the following things to appear on my official record: This has been the most stressful week of the year at work. This has been the most stressful past few months at work. I've moved apartments in the last month. I hate the gauntlet theme this week. I hate my maverick theme. I have had a few drinks tonight. Needless to say, I will be working nonstop on my song til the early morning tonight, and most of my waking hours tomorrow. Dammit I will not let these things come between me and my compo entry!

One day I'll learn to not be over-ambitious in compos.

We're posting lyrics already? Ok. For analysis purposes here are the lyrics to my remix for this week. Lyric 1: eeeEEyyyYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lyric 2: eeYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH! Lyric 3: EyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyAAAAAAAAAHHHH... Lyric 4: aarrrreeeEEyYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fun Fact: In Japanese it sorta sounds like "No" In German it sorta sounds like "Yes".

I don't know why the forum lists you as Slime (+5) but I can assure you, you are not nobody to OCR... all people are special little flowers here

I did! Subtly and elegantly done, just how Maverick Astley (rick)rolls

"Never Gonna Give You Up" is definitely growing on me. It's a catchy little tune, and I found myself getting a little smile when it came up in "You Know the Game". I'm finding myself looking forward to it more than to some of the Mega Man X themes. I'll be sad to see it go.

Lyrics: verse 1: I'm back in the lab while I brew a new gab with this lyrical jab, concocting a dab of this and that shit that's so fat that the rest will sound flat while they look at just how many addicts we make every day. They can't keep away it's like crack or cocaine. Am I really okay or am I insane but my drug is this music it eases my pain. I'd take a syringe and shoot straight to my veins, but unfortunately I can't get it quickly enough so just hit me. Bear with me I'm sickly from listening day in and day out to music I can't get to leave. So is it just me, or did we hijack this whole compo spontaneously? But seriously, these myths we create will be legendary. It's scary just how far we've come in these weeks, becoming so viral we spread to the streets, with just a few beats from the myth lab. Chorus: Rock Hard Mandrills, Bringing it down, Rock your body, To our hard sound, Verse 2: We go triple bard when our mixes bombard, straight from the yard they call us rock hard, we're the man drills, we got mad skills. Bringing dope ass tunes from the streets to the hills so listen to the sound, while we bring the house down, we don't mess around our lyrics are profound, when this whole thing is over who you think will get crowned? cause it's not gonna be just anybody Well let me see, who else could it be who, maverick ashtley? They do the same thing what, every single week? Comeon don't get hurt but the Rick roll, it gets old. I never wanna lie, just let truth be told. We won't let you down watch our legend unfold You don't have to cry man up and be bold, so lemme say goodbye you punks just got trolled. Verse 3: Will Rock here with another clean rap The Rock Hard Mandrills don't give a crap As we make musical songs on OC Remix with lots and lots of really really cool tricks We've got Ghetto Lee Lewis on the keys And I rock shredding my guitar with ease Jason Covenant brings the big epic choirs And all of us together.........???? Man, Will really lost it at the end. The guy has some anger issues I guess.

I'm surprised this was looked at as an album project that should be finished "relatively fast.". I have no say on anything, since i'm no one important to OCRemix, but I believe a man who has shaped the VG industry, as much as he did, deserves the patience and dedication towards creating a perfect representation of his career achievements in our industry. I don't think waiting too long will affect the impact of this album. Just the fact that people like myself can see this located on the front page of OCremix shows that we know it's coming, and we are all ever so excited! Regardless if time is extended, I wish the best of luck to all remixers, and I'm hoping this album is as amazing as the legacy that this man left us. Thank you OCRemix for this project, and thanks to "The Damned" for the idea, execution, and bringing together the resources needed to create this.

Thanks for the kind words. You may end up being surprised. #NoSpoilers

Welcome to OverClocked ReMix's ReMix Reviews forum, with dedicated topics/discussions for every mix. Before you get started reading, replying, and posting, please read the following guidelines. By following them, you make our jobs running the site and moderating the forums easier, and reduce the likelihood that your post will be edited or deleted against your wishes. 1. Post on-topic reviews that specifically address the corresponding ReMix. Don't post generalized opinions like "I hated this game" or "Why are there so many techno remixes?" or "This is the only good mix in the last month". Your review should be specifically about that ReMix. 2. If you didn't like a particular mix, please refrain from using an insulting or offensive tone. It's okay to say you don't like a mix, wouldn't recommend a mix, would never listen to it again, etc., but making personal attacks or posting extreme and non-constructive reviews like "this sucks" etc. is not cool. Just try to keep things civil, constructive, and respectful - again, this makes everyone's life easier. 3. When replying to someone else's review, please keep the above points in mind. Two wrongs do not make a right - if someone else posted a comment that was out of line or that you disagree with, please refrain from extended debates. The purpose of these reviews is to let each individual voice their opinion of the mix - replying to other's views is a secondary purpose and should not get out of hand. Sometimes you just have to agree to disagree. Use the General Discussion forum for extended discussion about topics not related to the mix, or send a private message to the individual involved if the message is specifically for them and not of general interest. 4. Reviews aren't limited to professional, technical review posts. General feedback is always welcome. ReMixers and other fans love hearing how much a mix resonated with you, moved you or helped you through a rough day, etc. 5. Do not be discouraged from reviewing a ReMix that has not received comments in a while. There are no restrictions on what ReMixes you can comment on, and ReMixes with fewer reviews or no recent reviews deserve additional attention. You never know what great tracks you're missing out on. Why not go through them all! 6. There's sometimes a delay between when the newest mixes are posted and when they become "reviewable". You may need to wait a bit - it's not a bug. 7. When viewing the list of topics in this forum, they are ordered by most recent response. You can either search on a given mix title or ID number to find the mix you want to comment on, or access it via that mix's details / download page. 8. ReMixers are not only allowed, but are encouraged to post comments regarding their own mixes. Some of the things you might include would be your inspiration for making the mix, the equipment you used, your own evaluation of how you did, and relevant anecdotes. 9. Failure to read these guidelines and follow them could result in your post being edited, deleted, or if there's a consistent problem in your account being banned. Please help us out and follow the above guidelines - it shows consideration not only to other visitors of the site and to us, but to the artists that spent their time to contribute this free music for all to enjoy. Thanks,
