Don't make me drive from Houston and pee in your mouth.

You'd just be led on a merry chase up to IronKnuckle's abode up in Fayetteville for the meetup next week.

But seriously, I liked your track, dude. It was mostly the "this will be dark and brooding yet epic watch how awesome i am also guitars whoo" stuff that got on my nerves.

"A good job" would be the correct answer to that question. I thought Rivera produced one of the more awesome tracks for the album. But hey, to each is his own, right?

I'd say it was more of a travesty and an abomination unto the ears, but yeah, to each his own.

I've listened to about half of the project and so far I have been pretty underwhelmed. There have been a few tracks that made me go "Yeah. Okay, this is pretty good," but they've been greatly outnumbered by tracks that were either mediocre or downright bad (Jovette Rivera, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?)

^^^ I don't think you're the only one.

G Gundam, anyone? Man that show was silly.

More like Robot Jox.

Hmmm... I've been working on something for T.Hawk's stage music but I'm not sure if it will meet your "punch in the face" criteria. While working on it, I couldn't help but make it in a South Western style kinda like the original track(heh, anyone who's listened to my mixes would know I'm a sucker for that syle ). It does have a bit of a hard edge to it - I guess it sort of has a Tarantino/Rodriguez "punch in face" feel it.

Anyway, here's what I have at the moment.

I don't like 0:45-0:57 (will probably replace that part with something else).

Solid. I like it.

EDIT: I personally think that adding hiphop drums would would take away from the atmosphere of the piece. However, one way to add a bit more "face punching" might be to add some higher-energy, heavier brass. Maybe? I really have no idea when it comes to music composition (I tend to just listen to it rather than make my own), but that's my suggestion.
