Hmmm. Fairly decent.

For one, the buildup's too slow - after 8 measures, the only thing you add is a clap, and then you add a little bit of percussion. The notes you introduce with the harmony synth is waaay cliched, too.

You do well with harmonies... often I find myself telling people they don't have enough. You do well there, you have the right amount. Keep it there. You change things up now and then, which is good... though you could do it a bit more often. ;)

Ooh, you're bringing in some nice synths now. And now everything just got quiet... don't do that unless you really know how. And you do - you introduced the drums again decently, and then that other synth... this is fairly decent. You did a nice job with this. Keep going. =)

Why don't you review my stuff sometime? If you were to review Phantom Zero, the latest version of Dark Storms at Sea, or And So This Story Goes (or any combination of the three >=) ) it would be nice. =P

I agree somewhat..the build-up is slow..and if you listen to my other songs..you know that's not my style..I just figure that I'd try something different..I listened to a couple professional DJs and noticed they had extremely long build-ups..longer than I did..but different people have different tastes and opinions and I'm perfectly cool with that. I appreciate your review and I really enjoyed your song..I'm gonna go back and DL it and give it a 5/5 as well.

Hmmm, I've noticed something...

You seem to have similar reviewing habits to mine, don't you? Reviewing the most recently submitted songs of similar genres to what you submit in... smart. =) But I'll start reviewing your song.

Honestly... I don't know what more I want. This song's genius. You've got my 5/download. =D I love your melodies, harmonies, everything... it's all so melodic. =D I just don't see how you can have so few downloads and reviews, even though you've just gotten here. Awesome stuff.

It sounds fairly professional, as well - darn it, I wish my first submission was this good. =D What program do you use to make your songs?

My one problem is that the second time you introduce the lyrics, it seems a bit too sudden... and I can understand distortion, but it seems a bit too distorted... I can't pay attention to them AND the rest of the song at the same time. Work on volumes/mastering.

Other than that, your song just gets better and better. Keep making songs, and PLEASE send me a PM next time you submit a song so I can listen to and review it! If you do, I GUARANTEE a review. Seriously. This stuff's awesome! XD

So I hope this review made your day. And yes, if you reviewed my songs, especially Phantom Zero, my latest version of Dark Storms at Sea, and And So This Story Goes, it would make mine. No need to review all three... just my reccomendations. =)

Recap:

Great Song.
Work on lyrics/individual volumes.
Great Song.
Great Song.
Review my songs if you have the time.
Great song.

=D

DistortionResonance responds:

Well, I haven't really "just gotten here" :) Our main accounts are BLACKNOISE and CagedRealm. This is just our "musical-duo" account :D

Well, lemme address the "lyrics are too sudden" part... trust me, that was completely unintentional. We just turned the mic on, and read the poem. It turned out that the vox was 4 bars longer than we needed it to be... but since we had wasted enough time on the vocals, we just left it at that.

Thanks for all the compliments, we really appreciate reviews like these :) I'll go review one of your newer songs :D

See ya later!

Different.

You're giving a different feel in this one than in TreekinGameplay. It's a very nice one, too. This would work nicely in a game, too.

Like your other song, you would do well to work a little more on individual volumes, but it's not that big of a problem.

Overall another fairly good song. Go ahead and PM me whenever you want a review for a song you've recently submitted. =)

WolfySnackrib responds:

Hey ya. I know it was a while ago since you wrote this review but recently I got into another music program, Reason. I made a song called "The sword and shield" and I didn't get any feedback from Newgrounds whatsoever, so a review on that one would be appreciated. :)
Thanks.

A decent song. =)

This is really nice. I love that introduction. Yeah, I can really see this in a game. Nice job on that. =D

Your instruments are well-chosen and original. You keep everything about the song fresh, which is nice. This song's unpredictable and consistent at the same time... I like it. =)

You could have worked a little more on the individual volumes of each of the synths/sounds/drums a bit more, but otherwise I have nothing to suggest. Great job with this, I like it a lot. You have my 5. =D

While I'm at it, mind if I suggest you visit my audio page sometime and review my songs? Especially my latest, Phantom Zero. =) I'd appreciate it a lot.

WolfySnackrib responds:

Thanks for the review. Glad you liked it, what I try to do with my songs is to add some taste into them, making them as melodic as I can. I keep hearing techno songs which has got nothing but a few drums and a constant noice, no melodism or anything that makes it sound any good. Also I wish I had more real instruments in my music program so I could do something more dramatic like an orchestra type of thing.

So about the volumes of the instruments, do you mean like maybe I should increase volume of the drums a little, making them sound more powerfull and keep other instruments not from sort of crashing because of the volume differences?

And I'll check out your audio page now, I'll see you around. ;)

Hmmm.

The beginning sounds fairly amateaurish for what I know you can do, though it gets better as the song goes on.

I've seen better songs for you, that's for sure... I liked Bass It Up 2 more. =P That's not to say this isn't a bad song to begin with... I still like it a lot. =)

Better not stop now that you're back! =D

Draze responds:

Nah the beginning is the best part ;) lol but i agree i can do much better.

Its funny, you say you prefered BIU2 but this track gets higher ratings from ya ;) haha.

A break? The sewers?

NOOO! DON'T GO! XD

All funny implications aside, let's see what you have in this nice song of yours.

Orchestral introduction - that's a new one, for DnB.

Ahh, I see a melody coming out now...wow, that's really, really good! =D

Hah, I need to start listening to your Drum and Bass more. Right now I only have I Don't Need You Anymore, Big Bad Fish-Man, and... this. =P Got any others to reccomend? I'm 90% sure I'll review whatever you reccomend, so... just don't reccomend everything. XD

Overall a pretty good song. =) I'm looking forward to your next submission. =P

cornandbeans responds:

oh, I'm not gone forever. I'm just taking a little vacation. :)

Thanks for the review, man. :D

I really don't have any other good drum n' bass songs though sorry :P

actually, you might like big boss, arabian assassin, and popo runaway... but those are pretty old.

Ahh, about time. =D

I'm a big fan of your songs - so this is the first one you made after I made my account. So I'll review it, of course. =)

Well, it's fairly (very) short and I'm not one to review Drum N Bass, but I'll tell you what I think: for one, it's mostly drum and next to no bass - I can't hear whatever melody you've got going. You might want to make that a bit louder. No complaints on the drums. So that's it. =)

You know, you should really get back into making your Dance and Techno songs - you were really good at them while you were still submitting. =) I'd guarantee you a rate/review from me immediately, anyway. =)

DJRunaway responds:

Well then, you're lucky ;) A new song is going to be released somewhere next week :) Worked fawking long on it and it paid off.......... brace yourselfs :)

Another great song. =D

It seems a bit plain or slow right after the introduction, compared to some of your other songs. But for a year and a half ago, it sounds pretty good. =) Fairly unique, too, with that flute-thing playing. You made a good choice, there. I can imagine this is what you'd hear if you were to give a pair of turntables to a technologically deprived African or Indian (or something, anyway...) village, or something like that. =D

ZeRo-BaSs responds:

^^

Currently what I consider your best. =D

This is my favorite song that you've made. Heh, I've had it ever since you uploaded it, though I started my account only three weeks ago. =P

That synth you introduce at 0:15 or so makes you want to stand up, and before the melody hits, you're jumping already. This song's a real partier. XD My one problem with this song is that when you first introduce the vocals (lyrics?) it seems a bit quiet, and that you could have faded everything out rather than cutting it off so when you reintroduced the melody it would sound like the song just exploded and you could get an even bigger "rave" effect. Know what I mean? =)

The rest of the song is great, too. You really should make more like this. =D

ZeRo-BaSs responds:

ty karco!!!!!

So I have a bit of spare time on my hands...

Review spree! =D I think I'll review this, Eternal Flames, and Damaged. =)

It starts out quietly and you build things up - heh, I really like that buildup. The melody sounds nice, but the song is in my opinion a bit slow. It's still pretty cool, though. The second time you introduce the melody, it's even better. =D It's a bit short, but that's ok - you end the song nicely, which makes up for that.

Keep submitting - I'll review every time. =D
