DarKsidE555's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[less human]

Promising start...

but after that it just wents down. The guitar work is fine and with a couple of more additions it would be perfectly fine but to be all honest with this. The mod delay fx on the vocals are terrible! Just annoying to listen to. Now I see where you wanted to go with this but as for the listeners...I think it's just doesn't work.

I heard the whole song but I wanted to stop directly after the vocals came in cause...it just didn't fit.

Ok contest entry but I don't think it'll get somewhere. None the less, good luck! 3/5!

[the Happiest in the World]

Not bad at all!

That you singing? If so...quite impressive. It kind of surprised me when I first heard the track. It's a bit too sappy yes but it fits the contest and that is what counts. Not much to say else here. The quality is good that's for sure.

Overall I say good one and good luck! 5/5!

[[MAC8] Myrkrið]

Good composition, bad execution

Quality is everything. Without that a song can be composed as good as it get's, it's not gonna reach the listener. So is this. With some better equipment, this could get somewhere. To bad it's very short as well.

Still giving a 4/5 because the composition itself wasn't bad at all.

Kiddmeizter responds:

OMG, THEN I MIGHT HAVE TIME TO REDO IT

[{MAC8}Essence of Time]

Noic!

My only complaint would be the very long build up till the final break through at 3:00 and the kind of weird ending. Other than that I enjoyed it. Good quality with this as well.

Good luck in the contest! 5/5!

Mrmilkcarton responds:

Thanks, I always seem to mess up on how long things are. I want to give songs length but not keep it too long.

[Thunder Tree (Finished)]

It has something!

Job well done I say. It's a little bit dreamy...not actually sad or depressing but overall it has a good vibe. Some shallow rain would have been a perfect combination with this track. It would really give it a more ambient like feel.

It's a good song none the less! 5/5!

giovanni808 responds:

And thx for the review :b

[Requiem For A Lost Land]

Good beginning but...

sad execution afterwards. You set a really good mood with the beginning but I was a little disappointed seeing that it only lasted for 56 seconds. :/

There would have been several ways to expand this into a real calming/sad song. Too bad you didn't take the chance. :(

Ah well, good luck anyways! 3/5!

CryogenChaos responds:

It was sort of rushed, I admit.

That, and it was made in FL Studio, meaning I had no idea what the hell I was doing.

[SR - I Do Say Make Think]

Not quite fitting.

I kinda have to agree with FatKid. It's kind of weird. Though, I catch the mood of this song. I mean, after all...it's Ambience...right? I think FatKid meant that some "sad" melodies are missing. You already set a good backing track here but it just misses something that goes trough. That keeps the attention. A 4:22 track with only a couple of minor changes is not very satisfying.

Yes, it's still ambience but seeing that it's for the competition, a bit of emotion is missing. Something a user can get a hold on.

Don't get me wrong, the track isn't bad at all. I only think it's not suiting the contest very well. As an ambient song itself it's very good, no complains there. All in all, good job. 4/5!

SineRider responds:

Hmm, thanks Darkside for clearing that up. Now I see what fatkid was saying. I suppose I should try and add to it before the contest is over. I kind of have an idea in my head and gotta see if I can get it down.

[.:Sleepless Nights v2:.]

Very good!

A strong build up which leads into a very fine and motion driven main part. I really like the energy it delievers. The drum beats are indeed a bit repetitive but that's quite all to bug about this one. Overall, very nice!

Good luck in the contest! 5up!

GronmonSE responds:

A review from you is greatly appreciated, thank you =)

[(NUB)I would have hated myself]

Wow...that was deep.

That's why I always say...Music is the way to show your deepest feelings...It's not just a mindless saying, it's a fact. And this song shows it to me yet again that it's true...I shed tears. Songs like this touch the soul and the heart, let you go back...let you imagen how it could have been, what was and what is about to come...Close your eyes, let your sould fly.

This is very powerful and really something else. The dreams I had as a child were often unfulfilled. Now...beeing older, kind of grown up...I "could" fulfill some of those dreams...but I'm standing still. It's kind like zach mentioned it. You're running but you're getting slower with every year that walks away.

Would I hate myself, if I go back? Probably yes. If I could back I would take the chance to say...sorry. Sorry that it couldn't be the one I wanted to be. I'm not having a bad life...infact, I'm having a pretty good life but sometimes you're just missing something. Lying around in bed, thinking what's wrong with yourself or perhaps just isn't...

I don't want to "grow up", at least not completely...but I guess it can't be helped in the end.

Anyways...wonderful song and one of my personal winners already. 5/5!

nubbinownz responds:

Thank you dark ... thank you very much . I'm glad that you enjoyed it .. if i'm not mistaken .. your song made my eyes water as well.

[(NUB)Please Wake Up (Acoustic)]

Good!

Nice entry. Sad and slow. A gentle piano sound there as well. Acoustic it is like you pointed out, yes? It really adds something to the tune...ambience I might say, more than digital "pianos".

I enjoyed it and I think it's a good contender. Job well done with this! 5up!
