DarKsidE555's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[=The Lament=]

Sorrowful and simple!

Nice little track with a good bunch of harmony changes. Short but enjoyable. Played with a real piano or at least keyboard? Sounds very "lively" to me.

Good job with this and good luck in the contest.

Hades responds:

Thanks for the comment on the piano sound, it is actually a soundfont, and a lot of people criticized it for having too much treble, so it's good to hear some positive views on that.

And thanks for the contest, I wish you luck with your submissions, too!

[Cult Of Whisperers (With Solo)]

Ambience alright!

sad? sorrowful? Hm, that's another question. Doesn't sound like that to me. Sorry. The blues guitar solo is a nice touch to this but for me it's not very well fitting in this contest. As you pointed out yourself it's more DarK (lol) Ambience.

So overall I say good sound quality and well done, though I doubt that it will score in the contest...buut, ya never know. ;)

[MAC 2008 - Monster]

Wait for it...wait for it...

still waiting for it. >:(

I was a little disappointed to be honest. The track begins nicely but it just builds and builds up till 1:40. I thought, it would get a little more dramatic but then you punched back to the start! >:(

I think if you had changed the composition there, it would have taken a much better effect on the tune. Like mentioned in another review...it's good theme, but it gets repetitive. Varitation would be a benefit indeed.

None the less it was enjoyable to listen to but it had it's flaws. Still a 5/5 from me cause this is was a good quality work.

[MAC8-Michael's Theme]

Way too short!

I know I know...A theme is short in general...though, this doesn't sound like a theme because there is no end. It kind of stops. But that's really the only let-down here. The soundquality is very nice. The piano has a very very gentle sound. It also reminds me a little of FF-7, which insaneclownjoe already pointed out.

I think it's a little too short to score in the contest but that's just me. Composition wise this was a job well done! 5'd!

Flash-MX responds:

Yea the lenght was really something I wasn't all too happy about; to be honest I'm not all that worried about this scoring too high in the MAC this month; there'll be plenty of those to come, my main purpose here was really to get some of my music out there, and it has done so! :-D

Although I am hoping "The Darkest Place of All" gets far, I tried to do something a little different there.

Thanks a ton for the review!
Peace

[MMX2 - Flame Stag (Metal)]

Nice! :)

Never thought I see another MMX2 - Flame Stage Metal remix around here besides my own. Cool. Much guitar variation and nice soloing. Though, I have to agree with Metaljonus. A bit too trebely and maybe a bit raw but overall pretty sweet job there! :)

5up!

Devastus responds:

Thanks, yeah the mix is a bit trebley, though I can admit that I had a bit bad day that day and playing could have been better too :P But who cares.

Thanks for your review.

[Retrospect!]

NO U! D:<

Another great one. Damn you for having too much time on yer hands! >:(

Nice clean bridge there! Fits well with the rest! Hope all went well in da US of Ass...lol. ;D

\m/

[Turn of the Ages]

Sexcellent!

Damn good quality my friend! Let me in on your secrets! lolol. Very very nice! Cool tune as well of course. :D

Kicking! 5up!

[Mac8 - A Long Time Ago]

Good vibe!

Simple yet effective. Reminds me of steve vai somehow. Chilly laid back track. I wouldn't say sad, more like a soundtrack for the good memories, as you already explained yourself. ;)

Of course, that's always a matter of opinion. All in all I really liked this one. A bit abrupt beginning but overall, perfect background music!

Ya know da score! ;D

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Thanks dude. Vai, wow. You are my fucking hero.
I know this has made some people cry...but oddly, with a smile on their faces. I do believe relating to sadness though happier melodies with a bit of sorrow, is most effective.
Either way, I'm glad I actually tapped some deeper stuff in me and its weird to share those kind of intimate feelings through music. Usually aggression is best for me.

*ahem* well anyways. Thanks for the review brother. Nothing but brooOOotality coming next. I should hit up a collab soon with that DS555 sonofabitch soon. :D

Rock on, dude.\m/

[The DarKside of the Farce]

The darkest of the haters!

Is me! ;D

Naaa but bro...this was funny as hell. First time hearing it, I laughed my ass off. Pure win!

5'd because it's da boomb yo!

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

haha, <3

[Angel Of Deadly Raining Blood]

LoL Beatcrap!

You still work with the same old stuff ey? Stop it already and get something real stuff for a change. ;D

Lazy bastard! 4/5 for da lullz!

Casualty responds:

What would you recommend then? =D

And thanks for the review, cheers!
