InsaneSmilie's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Kinslayer (Intense)]

I concure

Much more agressive and powerful. Very cool synth riffs, esspecialy in the middle lik you said. Only thing is I whould go with a little less distortion on the synths.

Laikros responds:

Yeah, much better
And look! 4 5's in a row!

[Break - Final Fantasy 7 DEMO]

Too distorted

Way to distorted. Kinda grimmy too, clean it up. The arrangement works pretty well, but as mentioned before it's kinda ear shattering.

arcanedragon-2004 responds:

I was going for the distortion, but its too distorted? Ah well, I'll come back to it someday and master it, I promise. Thanks for the review!

[Courage for you]

This needs to be re-worked

The levels are not set correctly in this, you need to balence your instraments better. Also this does not qualify as industrial, it's way to down beat. It's also somewhat repetative. If you are going for the industrial style, add lots of reverb, and some distortion, guitar riffs too if posible. Lastly I whould add a stronger, faster beat.

onefish responds:

What does it qualify as then? So I can submit it to the right place. It seem Industrial enough to me. I agree that it is ''downbeat" but that is how it is written. Stronger faster beat? 150 bpm isn't fast enough?? I'm not going to rewrite this over one review(I don't even have the original score, it was lost a long time ago in a format, this was written in 2004), but a suggestion of where it belongs *could* be helpful.

[Hong Kong Club 1]

too long with to little variation

This song is just way too repetative, it does have a pretty cool beat, but thats about it. Some of the synths are a bit off key with each other as well. It's not bad, it's just not great.

WCCC responds:

it's meant for aloop in like a bar scene or something.

[Amped Dust^DFT {DEMO}]

Not enough there

The bulk of it just some droning synths, did pick up a bit at the end but too little too late. And it's too short.

Darthfett responds:

Well it is a Demo, but it probably sounds too little too late because it only loops once, and cuts off. I had to quickly add an ending so I could submit it. I wanted it to morph into a different genre. The rest of the song will be like the heavy guitar part once it's finished.

Thanks for your honesty!

[Hatshepsut's Tomb]

Aggressive Indeed

It's got a strong beat, which is a big plus. Kinda eerie, but it works it's good. More synthy than I normally like but what ever compliments the theme best is good right.

Sephora responds:

It was synthy, but hopefully it served its purpose.

Thanks for the 10

[The Gangsta (V.1)]

It's good needs some lyrics

It actualy sounds really good, much better than alot the stuff people here try to pass off for hip hop. It's got some really cool synths in it, and the beat has alot cool varations in it so it doesn't get too repetative. What it really needs in vocals and lyrics, thats just a key element you can tell should be in there but isen't. Overal really good though.

mr-jazzman responds:

yeah, i agree with that. in the second version that im gonna put out, ill make sure to record some lyrics. right now, i just kinda wanna see what ppl will say. my songs may get crappy scores while theyre up on this site, but its only b/c its the first step. in the second step, i plan to improve all of my songs with the advice given. i am prepared for domination! ;~)

[Terminus]

Very Dramatic

It's good. Nice work on the strings and the progression, seems like it belongs in some sort of soundtrack. As for the wings at the end I whould suggest something more like multiple wings flapping fast like crows, that may fit the theme of the song better. Overal very good.

AlexanderZero responds:

The wings are a strange part. I can't say myself just exactly what they represent. But they're analogy is that of death catching up with you.

[Tuesday's Suck Shit]

Nice

I'm lovin it, the lyrics are funny and the guitar riffs are epic. This song pretty much kicks ass, real metal, a rare commodity on NG. Nice work.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Thanks man! Glad you like it!. There is quite a bit more real metal tho. haha. Check into my favorites list and dude...if you liked this song...these dudes will BLOW you away. haha.

Thanks for the awesome review and listening!\m/

[Windows Techno]

This So Demands A Music Video

Really, I've don't think I've ever seen anything like this. Nice work, you should really collaborate with a flash artist to make a music video of this cause it has so much potential.

KillaRemix responds:

I wish somebody'd use this in a flash movie.
