Well, for your first attempt at creating a song, I'd say it was good. The song has a pretty "underground" feeling, I believe this was your intention (no wonder why it's called "The Sewer"). I liked the waterdrop effects that you put in the song, they were pretty good.
However, I found this song a little dull. The beat was the same all the time. There were very little effects throughout the song. Basically, you could mute your speakers for a while, unmute them, and it would be the same.
You need to add some variations to the beat, along with some effects. This isn't a bad song, but it has a lot to be improved on.

Yea I will admit theres a bit of repetitiveness in it, but also i realized the bass melody is inaudible through laptop speakers. I think people might be missing that...

From what I listened to, it sounded like something big was coming. This could be used in an intro for a Flash movie, no doubt about it.
The intro sounded like a funeral, with a depressive felling on it. However, the "mood" of the song changes drastically at 0:45. It was a well made change.
The rhythm at the faster part was very good. the song was doing fine when it suddenly ended. Well, it's just a demo, anyway. =)
I'd like to know when you're going to release the final project. It sounds great so far, the full version should be even better. Nice job.

I made a bit of progress, but I've stripped it back to the intro because the final song wasn't going to be as good as the demo.
Glad you like it. ^_^

This song is very good. It gets better as it goes on, there's a major change from the intro to the ending, I liked that.
The first 30 seconds were pretty random, like a jam session. You could have reduced it, I didn't like that intro a lot. But after the drums enter, the songs changes completely.
What impressed me the most here was the guitar. You made a great solo in the middle of the song, it was very relaxing and easy to listen, very well done.
Great song, very relaxing, but I suggest you changing that intro a bit.

Wow, what the hell was he saying? It was pretty weird, specially with music on the background and all those "things" he was saying. It sounds like he wasn't very happy!
Anyway, as for the song, it wasn't very good. First, the music itself was too low, you gave too much priority to the speech, leaving the song on the background. What you could do is put parts of the speech during the song, making the song louder while he wasn't speaking. This would sound great.
And from what I could hear from the song, it was very repetitive. You could have created your own song instead of using someone else's song.
Not a bad... uhhh... speech, but it can be a lot better if you make the song louder, leaving the speech on the background.

I like this song a lot, both this and the original one. I never watched Pulp Fiction before, but I will watch it someday. Still, I know this song, and I really like it.
It was very interesting how you made the original guitar sound here, but I think you could have stuck more to the original song, you added some sounds that I thought unnecessary, but whatever.
The beat was great, I really liked it. I also loved the introduction, it was very good. I'd like to point out that around 0:50 there's a little rushed sound, so you might want to "fix" it.
Overall it was a amazing song, despite some part of it. I added it to my favourites, I thought it was great and it deserves a spot there. Nice song.

The introductions was quite random, as you said. But it wasn't bad, I liked it. The whole song is very involving, it makes us imagine a lot during it.
This song reminds me of "Space Oddity" by David Bowie. Not by the rhythm, but by its theme. Space Oddity talks about a man who's lost in space, and so does yours. I liked it, it shows very well the loneliness theme.
I appreciate how you play the piano. I've heard on some other songs of yours and I like it a lot. You have a great talent playing it. Keep up, I really enjoy your work.

I really like Mario themed songs. And yours wasn't different. Just out of curiosity, from which Mario game were the sounds?
I liked a lot the sounds you used. It was cool that sometimes you put them backwards, it was very good. The songs get better with time, I liked how you build it.
However, some things can be improved. You could change the beat a little, make more variations with it. Build the song a little faster, the beginning got quite boring after a while. And you could have changed the sounds a little, putting them always on the same order makes the song quite monotonous.
Overall, a very good Mario themed song, but you can improve it on some parts specially on the beat.

Nice tune. The beat was very good, I liked a lot the variations. The tone drop was a great addition, very well done. The looping was good, although it sounded a little rushed.
This could be a little longer. There are lots of things that can be done on a trace loop, just use your imagination. Nice tune, keep up.

I've heard better loops than this one, but this doesn't mean that this is something bad. It has some points that can be improved, to make this song better.
The song has a good variety of instruments, but some of them can be used on more parts of the song. This loop can surely be used in a game, as some other reviewers here said. More in a menu, I think.
Something bad about this is that it doesn't loop very well. If you pay a little attention, you will hear that the loop sounds a bit rushed. Also, the song is repetitive, but, as you said, it's meant to be this way.
Nice loop. It's just a preview, so I expect the full song to be better. Fix the looping part, so it doesn't sound rushed. An enjoyable song, but it has room for some improvements.

This song was very well done. Lots of variations, nice instruments, a story (yes, even some sort of story), some catchy parts... wonderful song.
What is most impressive here is that you made a story into the song without pronouncing a single word on it (well... only on the author comments). It is a bit of a cliché, but it's just great. I'd love to see someone making an animation out of this, it would be fantastic.
Something else that impressed me were the variations. The song starts in a slow, calm ambient. Then out of nowhere, it catches in a fast beat. It ends in a sort of melancholic way, but it was still very creative. Excellent job.
It could be a little longer though. There's a lot you could make with the story, you can build it much more. Since it's a work in progress, you will make more changes here. But so far it sounds amazing. I really liked this, I hope the final version comes out soon.
