X-TERRORIST-X's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[High Octane Mk I]

Rock on indeed.

The second submission I'm reviewing for you was even better than the fist. As hard as it is to believe, the guitar on this one is even sicker than your last. Words can not describe how impressed I am.

Intro was amazing, caught my attention quickly, and the drums were a very nice addition to the insane guitar!

Everything about this submission was good. I can't find anything wrong with this one, unless you count being SLIGHTLY repetitive. Other than that the transitions were spot on, in conjunction with everything else.

[Flesh Eating Bacteria]

Some great metal

Newgrounds now-a-days doesn't typically have metal music. As it is much more populated with techno and the such. This was a nice break from that, and a good one.

Rhythm was good, and you incorporated the vocals good. Even though they weren't the best in my opinion. Just my opinion though, as I don't like the raspy voice in songs. They were still very understandable, contrary to most metal songs.

Nonetheless, you did a good job on this song. Guitar absolutely blew me away! I would love to play this on Guitar Hero or some other game. Because the solo was out of this world.

You should consider further pursuing music as a career.

[Beach Melo Remake 2008]

Catchy

Beat was kind of cool, however, it got annoying after awhile. Would be good in a madness-type flash. Variety was a nice touch as well, one beat wasn't used for too long.

You have some potential, only thing I would adjust would be to not build up without producing. The begginging had me in that "Something big's going to happen!". But than all I got was a piano part.

Keep working at it, because overall this song was very good. In fact, I'm going to add it to my favorites. These were just some slight things you can adjust.

I'll be keeping an eye on your work.

Madness type flash? Then i would suggest more upbeat and dare i say more aggresive songs. Maybe DnB. To be honest, the most stereotypical madness song is probably that one from paragonx.. Wait one!? ah nevermind.

There wasn't much beat variety. So i don't know what you exactly mean. :P

'' The begginging had me in that "Something big's going to happen!". But than all I got was a piano part. ''
That's what intro's are about, keep your audience waiting for more. Well i messed up the whole intro anyways.
Thanks you favorited it. Maybe there will be more songs in this style ( kinda harddancy ).

[Mastermind: World Conqueror #4]

Very Cool

I really like this submission. It sounds like one of those loops that would be on the home screen of like a star wars game or something. More variety in the instruments would improve this, because after around the 2nd loop it starts to get boring.

On another note, the bass and the overall beat here sound like something I would use if I were making a futuristic strategy game. I'm going to favorite it.

Keep up the great work on the audio / flashes!

The-Swain responds:

Honestly, if it sounds a little boring after a few times then mission accomplished :) This loop is actually a break from the more energetic game music, as I needed something simple between high-intensity songs to kind of give the player a break from it.

[Windstorm]

Powerful

One of the best Techno songs I have ever heard on Newgrounds. The intro really got me into this song and the drums and other effects really kept me interested. You outdid yourself with this song.

Thank you, I hope to push myself even further in the future :)

[Rose At Nightfall]

It was amazing..

I could write out a few pages with everything you did right, but I'm confident you have already heard it a million times so I'll skip that an just award you a perfect score. Would work great for a boss battle.

Keep up the great work.

NemesisTheory responds:

haha, well not a million times... but it really is nice to see people enjoying it so much. :)
Thanks a ton for that perfect score, and moreso that you also think it works for a boss fight!

And I'll do my best. :)

[Tankmen (Aug. Audio Contest)]

Doesn't really work

In my opinion, this type of music is not the kind I incorporate with Tankmen. I'm not sure if it's my own problem, or yours. Who knows, maybe the series is just not meant for a theme-song.

I salute your effort here, I'm just not feeling it. Sorry.

[Saber's Crunk]

Sounds cool

I love this song, and the way that you messed with it. All the parts just seem to work together perfectly. Surprised you don't submit more audio, shame on you!

Before this song, I never thought that piano and drums could work so well together. You proved me wrong with this piece, I hope you take the time to give us some more song in the future!

[Everyday - J.T.]

Okay Song

I like the vocals, most NG songs don't have them. So that's a big plus for this song, even if some were a little awkward :(. This song is very fluid and mellow as well, cool to see Mindchamber is going to get alternative as a genre.

Would be a nice addition, even though most NG artists don't make music for it. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed listening to this song.

[Long Walk Home]

It was alright.

It's good, don't get me wrong. But I think all the reviewers are too quick to grant it a 10/10. It's a sad song, but too redundant I feel. Maybe I'm a heartless person, but it didn't make me all that sad either. For me, some vocals have to be incorporated to really get to me.

With the effect you used, and what you were aiming for, this song was great. But for myself personally, it was only good.

To each their own, naturally.
