[Jxl180 - Distorted Dreams]

Not bad.

I enjoyed the introduction to the song and liked the nice little build up that you had. Kind of your generic trance song, but I guess they all are. The whole song did have a very dreamy sound to it so good job on fitting the song with the topic/title. It had a nice catchy beat to it and it was fun to listen to.

Overall - Perhaps a little generic, but I usually have the same feelings for every trance and every techno song that I listen to. :/ Still a fun song to listen to and pretty catchy.

I appreciate all the reviews you have written for my songs.

Thank you.

[express]

Not too bad.

I also noticed that at times the guitar was just a little sloppy, but my overall opinion on it was that it sounded pretty good. I don't think I really liked the "sliding" noise that you made with the guitar though. The song itself was pretty good and it was definitely worth a listen. I thought it had decent variety, beat, tune, etc...

Overall - Overall a pretty good song to listen to with a few things that I wouldn't say fit exactly, but still not bad.

NeverHundred responds:

Yeah, it's pretty here than there kind of. The part with the sliding was a little off because I slid the guitar pick from the head down two the frets where I sort of did a hammer down on the E and A strings... I liked the sound but it playing it right was a little difficult... but than it goes from that dark kind of atmosphere to a more upbeat light tone, which for me is typical wild and crazy spontaneous fun... but usually other people like songs to be more consistent than that.

[Natural State]

Pretty good.

The beginning of the song was sort of video game like and then it reminded me more of a space like song or at least it gave off that space like feeling of just floating around and everything. I like the build up effect that you used in the beginning of the song. The song had a lot of variety and never got too repetitive. Perhaps it could be something useful in the credits of a flash submission.

Overall - A pretty good song that is worth a listen. Pretty relaxing and it uses nice build up effects.

Thanks for the sweet review!

[Jxl180 - Throw Down]

First Review :)

I thought it was sort of interesting, but you can really tell that you rushed on this one. Throughout the entire thing a lot of sounds just sounded like they didn't really belong that much. Also, throughout a little bit of the song there were a couple of errors that I noticed. The one that stuck out the most to me was somewhere right around the 1 minute mark of the song.

Overall - A lot of interesting and great sounds in this song, but for the most part I don't think they really fit well together or at least they didn't fit that well the way that you had them.

I did put this together very fast.

Thank you,

[6AM No More]

I'll miss her?

So this song is about a girl? Or are you simply saying that you will miss working on this song? Because I guess you can take it either way here. :/ If it's a girl then I'm sorry.

Anyway, the song itself sort of has a sad tone to it. Pretty good beat to it and it is quite catchy to listen to. Maybe sounds like the credits to a movie or game that is finally over. Such as it took a very long time or that it has a little bit of a sad nature to it in the event of it being over.

Overall - The song is done pretty well and is very relaxing in nature while still containing an upbeat manner in most of the song. Good job all around.

GronmonSE responds:

It's about a girl. I end up making better songs when I'm feeling particular emotions I guess. A fight's behind the song's name and feeling.

Thanks for the review. You give out 10's too easily though :P

[Echo's Dream v.2]

Very dreamy.

This is a pretty cool song. I could see it being used in a RPG type game such as Final Fantasy or another related game during a dream part of a story. It really had that dreamy/relaxing feel to it that you would relate to dreams. It would probably be great for a introduction or in the credits of a flash submission. I actually might find use of this in the future so I might go ahead and add it to my favorites. Like I said in the game it would be great to use in a flash during something that would be considered a flash.

Overall - I think would be a very useful song for flash artist and I'll probably use it within the next year or so. Perhaps more than once.

Oh, thank you! Glad to be appreciated!

[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.

Element responds:

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
