"Awesome, I likes it much!"

submission: Passionate Playing-UMSL

date: May 2, 2008

Indeed though, the pauses inbetween the parts of the song either needs to be shorter, or an uh... stretchy thingie should join them... hopw you understand what I mean :P (sorry, not a music person).
Overall, the music was nice to listen to, and quite a happy song. I also enjoy the ending with the bass and all. Awesome work :)

Score: 7

"Hmm... Is this really a loop?"

submission: BoomChick-Demo-UMSL

date: May 2, 2008

I don't know if it's still a loop if you just end the song ;)
Anyways, I like the build up. Very effective, and it sounds awesome. Too bad it's a demo, I can't wait until the "real" thing. The chords are very nice, and fit the piece very well. In fact, it almost seems uplifting with the build up. A happy-ish tune.
I like the combination of different synths. It might be a mattter of opinion, but i think it could sound nice if you switched chords using say... strings... of some sort, but it might be just because i like strings. Nice work though! :)

Score: 7

"Seems like a trickling stream"

submission: Waterfall [R1]

date: May 2, 2008

I enjoyed it quite a bit, but I feel it's more like a trickling stream... in slow-mo. Not that that could really fit into a title... "Hey, have you heard A Trickling Stream In Slow-Mo?"
Back on topic. Background sounds would indeed be appreciated. Maybe kick off the song with solely the sound of a stream. For the music to seem more watery, I'd suggest going up a few notes/octaves and pressing lighter. Like light dancing, as it seems a bit forceful around 4:45 when your attempting to press many keys very rapidly. I'd work on the rapid part too. Seems a little out of time.
Overall, very enjoyable. Good work. :)

Score: 6

"A tad repetitive"

submission: In-Rush

date: May 2, 2008

It's decent, but it also gets a little repetitive. However, you did use quite a few instruments, and that's a good thing. I'm also not quite sure about the rush in this... It seems to drag on a little too long for that. Maybe a little explosion of things 3/4 of the way through the song.
Some nice SFX would've been nice... some fade in and out, more distortion... But all in all, it was alright work. :)

Score: 5

"Yeap, it's alright"

submission: Hey There Delilah Suck My Dick

date: May 2, 2008

Ok, so you got the basic concepts of rhyming in the song, but you should revise how the song flows, since on some lines your speaking really slow, then really fast, then slow again. I feel this occurs on the third line of most of the verses, but maybe it's just me.
"Holy fuckin cow" (if you notice, it's the third line of one of the verses)
I feel that the fuckin isn't particularly necessary, as it makes it more vulgar (although that's opinion) but more importantly it makes you have to rush to say it, where as I believe it'd flow better without it.
In addition, back to rhyming, I'd suggest not putting any word that rhymes "just because", for example:
"I'm rasing my right eyebrow
Get on that right now"
It doesn't... flow right. Either way, this was an alright song. Good work :)

"Mmm... lovely..."

submission: Children Of The Night -WSpawn-

date: August 24, 2007

I love the orchestral instrucments, and vocals. A problem is the lyrics... It's really very hard to understand much else besides 'evil'. Again, it's very nice, though some hint so as to what the lyrics are would be nice. Different versions of this could work, like a techno version, although that may ruin the awesome ambient tribal effect this gives. Maybe a latter section when the music breaks off into awesome heavy metal, or something really strong, this 'evil' I hear about. Something that stirs up emotion.
Very nice. Looking forward to more work, maybe with some of my suggestions, maybe not. Looking forward to it!

Score: 4

"Pretty good"

submission: Dj Corny - Skyhigh

date: August 24, 2007

It has a nice beginning... the notes (the single notes) were seemingly a bit off-pitched. It was pretty good, and I'd get it for my playlist, but it sorta continued on and on and on... really annoying... Sorry, if you can build on this, it may become recognized. Add variety, both instruments, and notes, and this could become something great.

Score: 5

"Nice. I enjoyed it."

submission: Dove high over the sky

date: August 24, 2007

Not something I'm used to see on Newgrounds... Sounds almost professional, but not quite something I would enjoy hearing on my playlist. I said before, I enjoyed all of it, but the vocals sounds just that little bit cheesy, no offence. If you were to include a version minus the voices, I'd take it.
The issue I have with the lyrics (the piano's fine, I love it. Strong. Beautiful) is that again, it's cheesy. 'Child this' and 'child that' is sorta repeated over and over again. If you were to put up different versions (no voices, with techno, base, etc), I'd like them. Thanks for this, and keep up the work, and remember I'm criticizing, not discouraging (I hope). Keep it up!

Score: 7

"Nice... I like it."

submission: Sky High

date: August 24, 2007

Slow, nice flow, good variety of instruments for a good score. I like the simplicity. Unfortunately, only a 7 because it's relatively short, and it seems relatively easy to make (I'm no music pro) but I still love it. Ah... another issue. The ending is a little... unsatisfying... No solutions here, but otherwise, I very much love it. Keep working on new ones! I gave you a 7, but it's a low 7... bordering on 6. Benefit of the doubt! As I said, keep working hard!

Score: 9

"Sweet, loved it"

submission: This Must Be A Dream

date: August 23, 2007

It sounded very much like a pros work, and one of the few songs on Newgrounds with vocals (I love songs with or without vocals, but yours was very well done. You can understand it. That's what made me like the vocals). The beat was very smooth, very... upbringing. Makes you feel happy.
The variety in this song was astounding. The instruments... the vocals (again...) It's great, the synth, the voice editing. Looking forward to more of your work!
