I agree with the last reviewer on how it needed to be sped up just a little bit, but just by going with the title and the speed that you did choose to go with you almost get the vision of someone sitting their thinking about things that could have been, that they should have done, or maybe thinking over why they should make a difficult decision. Almost sad, but not exactly, kind of has a dark twist to it a little.

All in all I enjoyed it.

Uh oh, if I was reviewing this outside of the RRC.

If I was reviewing this outside of the RRC I would be giving it a 10/10. Oh well, it has to get a completely honest review from me. I hope we're still friends after this is over. :(

The sound/voice that happens right in the beginning shouldn't be there at all. It almost adds a beat when this loops over and over, but nah, just shouldn't be there man. You also talk just a little too close to the microphone. You can tell because on your higher sounds you can hear static around it. Back up a little bit, stay nice and loud, clear, and then speak. Don't put the mic in your mouth man! :P

To be completely honest it does make me smile a little bit, but wouldn't this be much more fun with some background music, a few extra words here and there, and a nice beat? It could actually be a pretty awesome loop if you think about it. Maybe I'll make it into a song some day. Probably not though so it'll have to stay the way it is.

Wait, what am I saying? I had too much to drink and I simply have no clue what I'm listening to.

Hows it been?

A nice song man. It's been awhile since I listened to something of yours and it looks like I may have some catching up to. It definitely has the heavy sound that I've been craving lately from my music. The lyrics are great as well my friend.

I don't have the desire to write long reviews like I use to, but when I'm enjoying everything and not finding faults in the song I guess it doesn't really matter!

Rock on

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Glad you dig, brother... Not necessary to write long reviews. I don't. It takes away from the listen-ability of the tune...appreciatory reviews are even better than critique.. You enjoyed, then it's mission accomplished on my end. haha

Glad to see you, out and about, dude. Thanks for the review!@@.

Do I?

Do I have permission to use this song for games/movies and what not?

By the way, this is quality. Radio, concert, and you'll be famous someday type of quality. Keep it up and don't choke brother.

Sonofkirk responds:

You know you can always use my stuff! Thanks for the review bro, it's been ages I haven't checked my newgrounds account, glad to find a review from you :)) Don't choke.

Woah, 0 bombers stop and think first.

Well, Here it is, the second song to the Heroes Series. I've really been waiting for it for what seems like forever. I have to say, I prefer this one to the other one to be honest. It has more cheerfullness to it and just a very happy theme all in all.

It's 4 minutes and 30 seconds long, which is slightly less than the previous one, but it has more feeling and emotion in it in my opinion. Four minutes is about the right amount of time for a song like this. A little less and you really don't build up to what you need and a little more and you kind of get bored with the song.

It sounds like you used a whole lot of soundfonts. You know the ones found by blackattackbitch and put into a thread called '3.5 GB of orchestral soundfont'? It really is amazing if you're one a budget because they're all free!

Aha, ok I'll get ot be serious. (Got bored. I was actually going to do it to the entire review) I think that you did a great job here. I turned my computer all the way up and really enjoyed this one. I can see it being set in medievil times in some sort of old RPG game for the playstation.

A cool song all along and you'd have to be silly not to enjoy it.

Decibel responds:

You Know what, you're extremely awesome =)

I'm actually really glad you like this one more, that means you heard the other one =) Yeah, it is quite happy, isn't it? =D

Oh, Just realized you were joking in the first three paragraphs :P

I'm really, really glad you like it, The only reason I make music is to satisfy you guys =D

Thanks again

[deciBel]

Hm, different for sure.

Perhaps it only seems different to me because I've never heard of AfroJack or anything that he's created. So I can't really enjoy it like those afrojack loverz will also luv it....

Anyway, it had a pretty cool sound to it. It seems like it was lacking in some department, but I can't exactly put my finger on it. It seemed liked parts here and there were just off by a little and perhaps some sounds weren't exactly fitting. Like I said though I couldn't put my finger on it.

Maybe I should check out this Afro fellow. Fro's should always stick together, but chances are I won't and it's even unlikely that I run across the name ever again.

Mans0n responds:

look up afrojack on youtube. you wont miss him!

I agree with Steph's review. :P

This 7 is more of a 6.5 in my opinion. It's a neat song to listen to, but something about it just seems very odd. It's like when everything comes together (notice I have no technical terms because I don't know the technical stuff about music) it just seems very out of place and awkward.

I kind of like where you said, "I don't expect everyone to like it, as this is hard for the ears." :P It's not that it was hard on the ears, but it was very different. It's probably only seems out of place to it's listeners because it's not really something we've heard before.

While it does seem to be a little off it seems fitting to be used in small portion of flash games or movies. Perhaps during a time of anguish or in a dangerous situation. (That might seem weird though because a Tango is usually about fun and/or love and this song doesn't seem to fit that theme)

camoshark responds:

Thanks for the great review, Fro!

The odd progression chord (because that's what's it's called) was meant for this very purpose. I probably should have mentioned it in the author's comment, but the song was created to feel wierd, disturbing at some point, because I was using the most awkward chord movements possible.

It just so happened I managed to make it sound almost decent for most part, but the out of place feel was kept to keep that modal feel, wich is when a progression move around following no particular structure or key.

Actually, when I mentioned it was hard to the ears, I was actually refering to non-initiated ears, those wich cannot truly get what the hell is going on.

I'm happy you still found some good in the song, it proves people here aren't closed to that kind of music, and it proves I'm not going totally in a bad direction with this song.

Thanks again for the review!

Cheers,

Review

This one seemed a tad bit rushed. There was one part that I had thought you messed up on, but after listening to it again the pause was actually fitting and correct. I just noticed that in your author comments you say, "in the presence of King George V", but in the audio submission you add "his majesty." Maybe you want to include that in the quote in the author comments, it through me off when I was reading along.

A good voicing here, but I think that adding some background music could really help. (I'm sure I'll say the same thing on your other piece) I don't know if maybe there is an official song that already goes with this or if you could have find a small tidbit from the newgrounds audio portal. I envision something sadder, slower, and ambient quietly playing in the background.

Coop responds:

You know, I never really noticed that I added "his majesty" on it. Not that it really makes that much of a difference here... I hope.

The idea behind it was to rip off Ben Miller's bumbling historian character, that always seems to break stuff in various circumstances. I wasn't going to the joke, just for the wonderful voice that he has.

That and releasing two audio pieces in a day with the same voice of mine would have been a little too much.

Awesome!

The vocals, where did you get the vocals? They really go with the song really good! In fact, it would be awesome if you used them throughout the song. Well... throughout the song... if it were a little more than thirty nine seconds long. It does loop really good though.

The guitar is really awesome in this piece. The drums are pretty simple, but do add to the song overall. The sound effects really add to this piece as well. I think you could take the guitar of this and make it into a much darker heavy metal song with a little tweaking. You might want to revisit what you did here someday.

Anyway, it's been a long time and I felt like reviewing a piece of audio today so I figured I'd drop by and give you a review as a way of saying hi.

Sonofkirk responds:

I got the vocals from some kind of software on the internet that will say things that you type, and you can choose the type of voice you want (male female old young etc...). I typed "the pigeon master" and I recorded it and then I edited it to make it sound louded, fuller and also to get that " the pi, the pi, the pi, the pigeon master!" :D.

It's really short yeah, I tried to compose a longer version of it but I didn't do anything convincing. After some thoughts, I hardly see this piece as a full length song, I like the catchy side to it :).

Anyway thanks a lot for the review and saying hi, catch you on msn soon! :)

Yeah..

Basically what the other lower reviews said. The WaWaWaWaWaWaWa noise gets a bit annoying. :( I liked it, but you needed to do one or more things with it. You either needed to tone it down a bit or use it less often.

I can see that without it that the rest of the song is really basic, but I think it's a pretty chill and relaxing song. In fact, I'd probably give it around a 7 or an 8 if it wasn't for that sound effect echoing in my brain over and over again.

A good song, a good idea, but too overpowering.
