Celx-Requin's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[[herd] Triumphant]

Excellent but a little generic.

Hello,

I guess this would fall into the "house" category of music, to me it seems that this kind of music is really quite generic, in the sense that there isn't much room for innovation.

Anyway with those sentiments aside, this was pretty well done.
The use of dynamic sounds is appreciated, the only flaw is it seems a little long,
aside from that, & the general lack of innovation, it was pretty solid.

Thanks,

Herdunculus responds:

Yea, I keep hearing its not really original...lol oops. I haven't made much dance music, and I only recently got into the whole genre. I'll try to be more original next time lol. Thanks!

Perfect Parody Song...

Hello,

Not much to say... It's flawless, the lyrics were awesome, the use of dynamic sounds was well executed, and the lyrics kicked ass.

Thanks all folks!
Sincerely,

TheBardOfBlasphemy responds:

Yeh baby!

Thanks man... I really appreciate the positive comments :D

Makes me wanna record some more ridiculosity.

Haha, dunno about flawless... I think it's just that all the flaws cancel each other out :D

[Mentality Breach]

Not too catchy...

Hello,

That said it was something I could listen too, & I must say out of all the audio submissions I've listened to, yours has the best use Of dynamic sounds I've ever heard.

Perhaps this kind of music isn't my cup of tea so to speak...
Still I think you should take pride in how this piece turned out.

Thanks,

Thanks dude! I do like the way this one turned out, a lot more than some of my others lol.

[somber march]

Repetitive...

Hello,

I felt the song was kind of repetitive, but I guess since you designed this song for video game use in mind that may have been the point. I did like the little soft aspects of the song.

I think I've said all there is to say about this piece.

Thanks,

[Your Wall (WIP)]

Uplifting tune!

Hello,

The overall sound remind me of the Servants "How to destroy a relationship cd"
I liked the lyrics despite finding them a little generic.

The music itself was really well done, I liked how much energy it carried, another nice thing is the song didn't overstay it's welcome.

Lastly unlike most of the stuff on newgrounds you actually have a voice that sounds like it fits the tone of the music you singing.

Aside from the lack of dynamic sounds, I don't have any beefs other than it didn't feel perfect to me.

Thanks,

StickyRemnant responds:

Hi
I haven't heard of the Servants before, I'll have to check them out.
As for the lyrics, Writing lyrics bores me tbh (and Im not very good at it). I've recently got in a lyricist of sorts so hopefully they'll be better in the future.
I'll probably cut the length of the track by about 20 seconds but yea, I made an effort not to have it drag on.
I'm not completely sure what you mean by "dynamic sounds" I'm guessing you're commenting on the loudness of everything and the fact that the loudness is pretty much constant throughout but i may be wrong.

Cheers for the review!

[Strangled - Beholder bunn]

...

Hello,

I'm not too sure how to describe how this makes me feel,
I like the overall tone of the piece, it sounds like something that would be heard at a cathedral.

Interesting, if a bit unsettling, as it carries an almost otherworldly feel.
I'm can't say I liked it a whole lot, but it is unique.

Thanks,

[[MC Crispy] - Real Times]

Decent.

Hello,

The lyrics are pretty good,
however you need dish out your rhymes in a more fluent fashion,
as well as work on the background music.

Still it was a good attempt.

Thanks,

chrisG755 responds:

thanks for the review.

i understand what you mean about the backing track.. i can get a better track.
if you mean that i need to change my voice to sound more fluent when rhyming then i understand.

Thanks for positive and helpful comments.

[Seashore Metropolis]

Near perfect.

I felt it did run a little long though... Other than that is solid!
Excellent use of instruments, particularly the piano.
Quite calming, and carries a feeling that complements the title you gave the piece.

Thanks,

Sawdust responds:

Yeah, it is a bit long. I should probably trim some parts then, reduce two piano patterns being played to one, two synths to one, etc. Maybe I'll make it more complex.

[Cries of the Tormented]

Powerful until it turn into something it's not.

The beginning starts out great, it carried a heavy ominous feeling to it,
then it stated to turn into something that didn't complement the mood you had initially built.

I still liked it although I wish you would have continued on with that initial darker tone, It wasn't bad though, the beginning reminds me of the "blank fairy" track on my Akira Yamoka cd.

Sincerely,

Step responds:

Thanks for the review, Celx! Yeah, a lot of people liked the intro and wanted me to continue it in a darker more ambient song like the intro, but when it comes to composing ambient, I become impatient after approximately the 20th bar xP. Anyway, thanks again for the review!
