[Nakazakicho Station]

Weird

The only thing I could think of when listening to this submission was that it had a different sound to it. Almost a weird sound that I haven't really hear before. The song itself had a lot of variety, but sometimes it seemed like it would get a little messed up and "cluttered" is the only thing that I can think of how to explain it. Like some sounds didn't sound right with other sounds. The sounds of a train? At the end of the submission really sounded weird in my opinion. Listening through the second time I realized that it made me think of an old movie from the 60's where there was cops, murder, and drugs involved. Like during the introduction of the film or something.

Overall - A very different sound to it, but it was kind of cool and original in a way. Perhaps even something old fashion and abstract.

oh thanks sir.

[The Weighted Companion Cube]

Pretty good.

Seems like your band would be pretty good at heavy metal or faster pace songs. I think some of this would have sounded awesome with some screaming lyrics and everything. Whoever is on the guitar is pretty good. The only problem that I have with the song at all is that it almost sounds like you recorded it at different times and then put the pieces together because the different parts had slightly different sounds to it. One part the drums would be loud enough and some parts the drums were weak compared to the guitar and vice versa with the guitar sometime. I do like it though and think you had some good sounds in there. The band sounds pretty good. Try to find some good lyrics for this and I think it's about perfect the way it is. More screaming lyrics where it gets heavy or fast and then more calm when it slows down.

Overall - Sounds pretty good. Really needs lyrics. The guitar is this submission is really good.

Well thanks for the review kind sir.

[Understandable Leflin (S. Mix)]

Interesting.

The submission was done pretty well. Very simple, but at the same time it had a catchy beat to it. Perhaps could have used a little bit more going on with it, but I think you got the right sound here. Some vocals might not be too bad, because after awhile a lot of the song did get repetitive, but I just can't see this submission including vocals. So perhaps just a little bit of variety throughout the song would have helped it be a little less repetitive. Other than that stuff pretty good all around.

Overall - Starts to get a little repetitive, but I don't think there is too much you could do about it. Good job and keep up the good work.

Thanks for the feedback and the 9! I'm going to keep it in mind.

[Difference]

Pretty good.

This would be a great song to use in a flash movie or game. Probably somewhere in the introduction or credits, but even during the animation itself would be really good. (Looks like it was used in a flash submission anyway)

A little bit of it sounds a little off for some reason, but other than a few odds and ends here and there it sounds pretty good. Great job and especially as a first submission to newgrounds. Did you play the guitar yourself or did you use a program?

Cyberdevil responds:

Thanks for the review! I play guitar, but this is made through a program, don't have the right equipment to start recording through real instruments, yet. :P

[*Wolf of Hate*]

Again.. I dont know how you do it...

I try so hard to get my screams down like that, but I'm not even close. Maybe it would sound better if I recorded it and listened to it on something. Just hearing myself do it sounds like shit though. Great vocals for this man. I wish I could do it. It's good that you put the lyrics up on your userpage though because I had to listen through a couple of times and read along before I understood everything. That's how heavy it was. Great job all around and you had a good piece of music to work with.

[Quiet Killings]

Kind of sad.

Kind of sad, but at the same time it still rocks. Another song that I remember reviewing before. >:] Ha, another song that will just have to be put right back on my favorites. As great as the song is already I think this would be amazing with some sappy sad lyrics to it. Perhaps enough to make the manliest men tear up a little bit. :P Great guitar in this submission man. MindOverMatt did a great job on the bass as well. Great job all around.

[The Theme Song(metal inst)]

Nice flash theme

This is a great flash theme all around. I could see this being used in a flash or flash series. Great guitar and great drums in this song. A little short, but that's probably what the flash author wanted for his theme. I would love to hear the version with vocals and wouldn't mind seeing the flash/flashes whenever the guy gets done making them. Good job again.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

I can't wait to be able to get to the version with vocals. Thanks for the review, bro.\m/

[Hero's Bottle]

Favorite

I remember hearing this on your older version. (WHICH YOU DELETED AND DESTROYED MY REVIEW COUNT) Haha, I don't care about that though. I can't say I remember what the old one sounded like exactly, but I can honestly say that this sounded professional. Not only the instruments, but the vocals too. I would honestly pay to listen to music like this. The only thing that I can say against it at all is that I feel like it just kind of ends way too sudden. To me personally it sounded like the guitar needed to fade out there or something similar so it wasn't so sudden.

Great job all around and thanks for another song on the favorites.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

haha, just left you wanting more. haha.
Thanks man. I have ONE final version of this coming. Soon, I'll pm you when its up. I'm gonna sing with crux on it. Should be awesome
As for quality, I'm spending a lot more time on my shit. I could usually plunk out a song in 4 hours, from start to finish, now I'm spending a lot more time developing it, and playing it over and over...just so its "right".

Thanks for the listen, review AND favorites man.\m/

[Theme song request: Hip Hop]

Nice job.

I was excited when I saw Hip Hop because it made me remember all of those funny as hell rap and hip hop songs that you have. Ah, too bad you don't have vocals on it yet because this is just what this song needs.

I just loved the sound of this song. It was like a mix between Hip Hop and Metal. The guitars were really heavy and gave this song an awesome sound. You had a good electric sound going on during the whole thing too. Another great one man.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Thanks man, vocals one day. FUck, I have no time for those anymore. :*(
Thank you for the review, sir.\m/

[(CMBC) Breakdown Motherfuckers]

It's been awhile.

It's been awhile since I've heard that godly music of yours. I was busy with college and everything, etc... Should be back long enough to catch up on all of the songs that you have made that I haven't reviewed. It's good to here some good stuff again.

You know I've been practicing my scream and I just can't... just can't get it to sound good. What's the secret man? Perhaps I just don't have the lungs for it or something, but I just can't get it to not sound... cheesy I guess. Perhaps we can't all do it like the pro you are.

Anyway, nice addition to the contest. Good job all around and rock on like always.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Thanks man. Good to see you. Yeah, r/l can definitely be a bitch. A balancing act that I'm slowly losing.
Anyways, there are a few instructional videos on the web for vocal ranging.
But my way....

When you are taking a huge ...and I mean HUGE shit...the "hold on to the towel rack for leverage shit scream". Then just open your throat a tiny bit more. And you get brootal. Haha.

GOod to see you man. Thanks for the review!\m/
