Celx-Requin's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Strangled - to be the sea]

A disjointed melody...

Hello,

I certainly felt some aspects of the aquatic, however it felt a little too disjointed to carry the feeling throughout the piece.

The story you included does help add some context to the submission,
that said if the plot wasn't explained, I feel most people wouldn't be as sympathetic to the way the music unfolds.

I suppose it's not bad, but it could be better.
Thanks,

Calamaistr responds:

Well its quite logical that the story is an important facet, afterall the music was made as a atmospheric theme on the story, comparable to a moviescore if it were one.

thanks for the review.

[Experienced Loss]

Hmmm...

Hello,

This music seems like it would be fitting for a significant event in a story, not too much is going on, and the music seems serious...

I usually dislike repetitive music, however in this case it seems natural for the audio to do so, the light beats add a elegant touch to the submission.

Well done!

im glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the review!

[Your Makeup is Running]

Lacking innovation.

Hello,

I must say this really felt like something I've listened to many times before,
it's not that it was bad, but it did feel boring. The length is another issue I have with this piece as it felt about 1:30 sec too long. It could have also used some dynamic sounds to spice things up a bit.

I feel I need to reiterate the performance of music wasn't bad, but when everyone is doing the same thing it gets monotonous to listen to something that's very similar to the other submissions in the same genre.

I will say one thing in your defense, at 0:52 sec you did have a moment of chaotic energy that I did like... I just wish the whole song could have kept that kind of energy.

Sincerely,
- Celx

Sawdust responds:

Yeah, it is a rather generic song. Not much life or anything, I should probably do something about that, but hey, remixing and adding more melodies isn't very easy, especially if you're terribly uninspired.

Thanks for the good feedback though.

[The Last March (Plz Reveiw)]

A solemn sounding march...

Hello,

I like that this you decided to go for a more low key approach to the music,
as opposed to the more common "epic" sounding march themes others have done.

Unfortunately I feel that is also the submissions main flaw, It's too hard too hear, I think you should have made it a bit louder, and possibly included some dynamic sounds.

That said I do like the overall feel of the music, it seems a tragic, serious, and "heavy", well done!

Sincerely,
- Celx

Cimba responds:

I have never thought it was hard to hear. Are you sure both of your speakers are working?

[ComTune]

Delightfully upbeat!

Hello,

I really dig the energetic tone of the music, the vocals were well done, the lyrics were not bad either, although I do feel they were super generic.

Adding dynamic sounds would made this cooler, regardless it was still
very well done!

Thanks,

:) why thank you, yeah i know its fairly generic but at the time i though differently :) you know how it goes, yeahh thanks :) i might go back and work on this song and add a few things in the near future :) but thank you for liking it :)

[[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!

[i ate the easter bunny]

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!

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,

Birdinator99 responds:

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

[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,
- Celx

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!

[[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,

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.
