Great stuff!

it has a very dark core to it, a very dark and mysterious core that resonates hatred and anger... I love it!

I love the vocals, is that a reason default, or where did you get it!? I need GOOD VOCALS >_<!

I didn't quite enjoy the really high pitch sounds, after listening for a while, they begun to hurt my head, but still, it was an exceptionally enjoyable piece.

The ending was quite interesting to hear, I liked it ^^, keep them coming RemedyX.

4/5 from me this time Remedy.

RemedyX responds:

I love you Maestro. Thank you.

Pretty neat!

noisy doesn't begin to describe it X_x, this is something Satan would listen to while eating skulls and devouring the souls of the wicked with a silly straw!

It had a very cruel beat to it, however I would like to hear some variation, it gets repetitive, and I can hear the percussional work change in the background, but I can't appreciate them because the guitar distorts too much. There is of course changes in the melody but not often enough, and not drastic enough, I was imagining a rather high pitched guitar doing an insane solo on top of what you have now, wha tyou have is a very powerful foundation, you can build on it like mad.

A grand example of distortion happsn at the end where the sound is heavily warped, for sure you gotta tweak that area.

However I know that you havn't done that much heavy metal tracks, heck I know how difficult they are to master, so i'm not going to hold that against you.

4/5 from me this time DJdarkangel, keep them coming ^^.

DJdarkangel responds:

Satan pwns all :)

Anywayz

Yeah i know it'a repetitive but i sorta designed it so it can take a vocal... but i have yet to find a vocalist :)
Ironic

Anywayz :)

If i find someone who can sing it out i'll post it up here :)

DarkAngel out...

now THIS is teh great!

my GOD darkangel, I leave for a few days, and you've got like 4 new songs up here... FINE FINE, now I listen to them all ;).

I love the flute work here, sounds very ethnic, and you must tell me from where you got this sound, and I will let you live, it moved me to NO ends my friend, NO ENDS!

The melody is great, the percussional work stable and inviting, the piano subtle, yet present.

I can imagine a grand violin singing with this flute in the extended version, heh, maybe i'll do it myself ^^ (just for fun of course).

Regardless this is the second time i've given a 5/5 for such a short loop (I think the first one I gave you as well)

Keep them coming DJdarkangel, for sure I am listening.

DJdarkangel responds:

Hey wassup :)

I finaly got some time to answer my reviews :) you the only one that reviews me *cry*

Anywayz :)

Yeah i have tons of ideas fot this one but i've been kind of busy lately.

I'm sorta making a demo disk... of sorts...
Anywayz :)

I'll try to finish this :)

DarkAngel out...

This is zorgasmic!

Bad_Man_Incorporated has a reason to want to collab, indeed you have demonstrated some EXCELLENT power and skill here, I would like that guitar louder, so that I can fully enjoy its cruel glory, and that melody it plays in the background, that was enough to move the heavens and crush them!

Your solo's are truly exceptional, and that is something I believe we can all enjoy ^^.

this gets a 6/5 + 1 voodoo curse!

Keep them coming Chrizzly, I will keep listening.

Chrizzly responds:

Omg thanks! An honor to be reviewed like that...Thanx for the 6/5 too!...we should put the voodoo curse on Zero-Voting theyll need it better!

Impressive.

heh, I love the popcorn song, and you've given it a new flavor... extra buttered up METAL XO!

This time the drum beats are quite powerful, however the crashes are too numerous, and loud, it distorts the sound in the background, and distracts the listener.

The guitar sound should also be louder man, I mean come on, this thing should be WAILING at the skies, screaming its power! And by that I don't mean increase volume by 600% and overdrive it, I just mean make it a bit loudre ;).

I rather enjoyed it Chrizzly, as before, good work.

4/5 this time because of the numerous crashes, keep them coming, I will keep listening ^^.

Chrizzly responds:

Heh thanks...yeah i could have edited this one a bit more i did it too fast...i hope ill work more on editing as a continuance...its hard knowing whats too much cymbal and whats too much...at the first of my tracks there were too few (which i actually agree, now as i listen to the "earlies") and now theres too much...but ill make it...citated by Lars Ulrich, Metallica: "Weve got to find a balance"...thanx for the review, man i enjoy ur reviews!

Excellent!

niiice! For sure you must make this longer! I feel though again, the distortion levels were a bit too high, but it is greatly improved, your skill in this field has no doubt expanded rather neatly, and I look forward to what you can bring to this song's full versoin ^^. Keep them coming CagedRealm.

5/5 from me.

CagedRealm responds:

Thanks for the input and review I will definatly make use of your advice. As far as distortion goes I will try but I have shitty speakers.

Quite impressed.

Look at you John, got a great deal of good composers listening to your every note, I will now joine them ^^.

Onto the review!

The sad melody was exceptional, it grabbed my attention right away, and as John_Floyd suggested, some eqaulizing would have done this piece a lot of justice.

There seems to be a clash in notes here man, the two piano melodies are not very compatible, I would recommend introducing them seperatly instead of at the same time, or look over those notes, keep one of them simple bass notes, and keep the lighter melody going.

I would advice against trying to create melodies on top of an instrument with the same instrument, that keeps them muffled. For example, instead of having them both piano's, have one of them perhaps a violin, and then the other a piano, this adds a lot of flavour, AND it allows the melody to flow much smoother, as well as adding to the voice and emotions of the piece.

4/5 from me JohnF_N, keep them coming, I will keep listening.

johnfn responds:

Thanks for the review! It totally just made my day :D

Yeah the melody was a stroke of luck. I was hitting random notes and then I realized 'hey, that's pretty good'. I realized after testing out John Floyd's advice that that did really help it out (especially drums)

Yeah, you're right about the two piano melodies, the second one totally drowns out the first. I'll keep your idea about bass/melody in mind, that could be helpful.

Your also right about the two instrument thing. Most of the time I try to use seperate instruments for each melody, but for some reason now and then I use the same one. I'll keep this in mind in the future, cause your totally right :D

Thanks for the review again, this is very helpful!

Great stuff!

so ashamed at not visiting your page yet, but I am here now, ONTO THE REVIEW!

The melody for this made me feel so powerful, its the song of the undying warrior, forever pushing on, those who stand in his way, will find the cold taste of steel!

There is too much distortion, I would highly recommend an compresser effect (if your using Fruity Studio's) to keep the distortion levels down.

Overal, its a very up and going piece! I loved it.

Theres just the volume issue, if that was fixed, this song would not only rock, it would pwn!

5/5 from me, because I play this in my head with proper volume levels and it blows me away.

Keep them coming JohnF_N, i'll keep my eye on you ^^.

johnfn responds:

Haha don't worry it's no problem. I like your description, I must say, it's nowhere near what I was thinking when I finished it.

Your right about the distortion. I always screw something up and then come back a little later after I submit and realize. This time I left it open overnight to come back in the morning and listen to it again, and fixed a lot of stuff. Then I submitted. Later on I was listening to it again and I was like holy crap, that instrument sucks. So yeah, hindsight is 20:20 ^^ I need someone else to listen to my stuff beforehand. :P

And also, you're totally right about the volume, that's something I never even realized before.

Anyways, thanks for the fair vote and review. And I will keep them comming, as long as I stay bored like this :D

Heh, nice!

heh, so giddy, so light. I love it!

I hope she enjoyed it, truly its quite a delightful piece! I'm sure it will be used for a flash, its got a very light kinda step to it that could be used in pretty much any comical flash.

4/5 from me again Rythim_Man, keep them coming.

Rythim-Man responds:

Again the instruments are out of proportions because of a problem converting old files to new mp3. I'm making a new one right now so tomorow expect a well detailed song. I feel so special! I have 2 reviews! Wow, my song must be like...listenable! Someone else review, comeon, someone else! Don't be shy...I don't bite...often. Wait till you hear Pick-a-boo, (shoot I need better names for songs.) And I hope she enjoyed it too. Love her like a cuzin.

Good stuff.

I don't play Kirby much, however you've done very well in this remix, very soft, very gentle, yet firm and aggressive in its stance. I loved the instrument choice.

Though the trumpet should be louder, I had to strain my ears to hear it.

Good work, keep them coming ^^.

BTW, you should have posted this in Video Game, when you put songs in Misc, they very rarely get listened to.

Rythim-Man responds:

I've had a problem with audio. There is a version of this song that has louder Trumpets and more dynamics but it was too big of a file. The only way I could manage to fit it on here was to redo it without the dynamics (it's a problem with MiDi). Since it was an older song that I made years ago, converting it now was difficult.
And sorry, I should have put it in video games, I don't know what I was thinking. *kicks self in the face* :p

It's been one hell of a ride guys, but it's time for me to leave. I will still be looking at my inbox, if you want me to look at songs, I will check back every once in a while. Take care Newgrounds! full_metal_slashemist@hotmail.com AIM: MaestroSorrow
