"Choppastyle" could have used more directions and more hooks. Tick! Tack! Deluxe and Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai were aight.

I enjoyed "Wanlong Mamoth" so much, I just blogged about it. Great energy the whole way.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Also, I like how you accuse Choppa of not having enough hooks when it has THREE distinct and catchy melodies, while Wanlong has virtually no hummable parts to speak of. :P

Choppa had one good hook used twice (1:26, 3:41). The other one (:58, 3:13), I wasn't feeling. Correcting myself, I'll say it could have used a catchier first hook. Just an opinion, as you enjoyed it more.

And you're right, foo. Choppa lacked the GROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE to drive it along. You can only dedicate so many channels to grooooove for an NES chiptune. If it had been an 8 channel piece, maybe.

Why should you have to be able to hum a song for it to be catchy? The entire rhythm of Wanlong Mamoth was the hook, and then there's the verses (:27, 1:41, 2:37) which are developed a lot longer and have 3 different, extended variations.

How ya doing, buddy?
