[~BH~ Summer Breeze]

Wow

Your songs just get better and better, and this is proof. All the instruments were chosen correctly to fit in with the name, and the percussion flowed very well with the feel of the song. Piano made it feel a little medievalish though, like cleavethedragon said, but who cares. Medieval rocks when you make it :P. Some sound effects would be cool, like a sound of a breeze taking over some transitions in the song. As for the instruments, apart from the piano being medievalish, the flute had great notes, and the strings gave a nice touch to the song. Ending was a little off. Try ending it with some slow flute and strings or something. Anyway, all in all, the song rocks, keep it up :).
Darn, I still can't find a song of yours which I won't give 5/5 in :(.

Another 5/5 review, darn :P

I like the ending, I don't know why everyone else doesn't...

Thanks 8D

[Worms theme (piano)]

Awesome, just slightly empty...

You should add some strings or percussion to make this a little less simple sounding. I still enjoyed it though, especially since it's one of my favourite tunes and snce it's on piano. I spotted a mistake though; I hope I can explain it to you in musical terms:
The first time the melody plays, the fourth note, which I believe is G and then the fifth note which is G again has a missing note inbetween them. The first G should be a dotted quaver and then a semiquaver of A and back to G again, so it should sound like this:
C (quaver), D (quaver), E (crotchet), G (dotted quaver), A (semiquaver), G (crotchet) and it continues as you did it. Yeah, I know, I'm hopeless at explaining, but I hope you get what I mean.
Anyway, good job on the song overall, it's really good, keep it up :).

[XS - Just One Thought]

Really cool!

This piece is extraordinary. Fits the name perfectly, and that piano is amazing. With just 2 main instruments and some drums, you made an awesome song such as this. Very good percussion, really well varied and very well done. It loops as well, which is awesome. This is what I call a song. You really rock, keep up the awesome work.

Ahh thank you so much. Comments like this really do cheer me up and make my song go from "just another thought" to being worth something =P cheesy I know

Thanks

["An Aspect Of Dance" -Akopa]

You really made it better since the WIP :)

This rocked. I really like the bass, great job. Still kind of repetitive, though. The melody was really catchy anyway, you managed to stick it in my head =\. I liked your use of the reverse cymbal and the snare, too. The main drum beat was really cool too, and very well done. The ending was still too sudden though. If you added a buildup before it and then ended it with the same ending or something like that, it could sound better. I still enjoyed the song a lot. Good name, good melody, good instruments, good drums, what can I say, great song :]. Keep up the awesome work; and sorry for the long review XD.

[Crushed land]

Really cool!

I love that guitar, very good notes, and overall the song is very relaxing. Percussion was quite good, but it didn't vary much. Neither did the song itself change too much. I still enjoyed it though. A piano would add a nice touch to this song, but it's a great song anyway. I don't see why it should be in General Rock, though. It sounds a little more ambientish to me, and the name is a little strange. You should try something like The Deserted Wasteland. It doesn't loop well either... Well, for a song itself, it's really good, especially since it's only your fourth submission. Keep up the good work, I enjoyed it, even thoughit's not really my style.

BigDrawMantheGoloid responds:

well thanks for the review
i will consider your opinion
The program i used was MusicJam so im not surprised the music didnt vary that much, i will see if I use a new software.

[Abyss - F-777]

Really cool!

Fits the name perfectly, but the notes of the instrument in the first part blur together a little too much, and were too loud. That's the only bad thing I could notice. Drums were great, and the melody itself was very catchy. 1:49 was, lthough slightly strange, really good anyway. Effects in this song are amazing too. The ending was really good as well. All in all, it's amazing. Keep up the amazing work, it's songs like this that make the audio portal. Great job!

[Reasoner- Champions Green]

2 things impressed me

First thing, it's this song. Amazing. Secondly, 71 reviews (now 72) all 10/10 :[]. That's amazing! Anyway, onto the song...
I really enjoyed the piece. The piano gives a really great touch to a song like this. Really good melody, and even though the piano was quite repetitive, I didn't really find it annoying. This song is amazing. Very high quality of instruments, just a little blurry overall, but that doesn't change a thing to a song of this capability. You deserved top 5, it's amazing. The ending was pretty well done too. In general, this whole song is well done. Keep up the great work, when it comes to piano, you're the only person I've seen on Newgrounds with such command over it. Excellent!

[the other world(wip)]

Whoa, quite good.

Well, for now, so far so good. The melody is pretty good, and the drums were quite good too, although a little too repetitive and a tad too loud. The bass needed to be heard more, though, I barely heard any of it. The melody itself was pretty repetitive, especially the bells, but the choice of instruments were great. The transitions were very well done as well. The ending however was quite strange. Well, good luck continuing it. Keep it up :).

[Darkness Dwells]

Fits the name, but has some defects

Starts very well, but the apreggio-like bass didn't change at all, which starting becoming annoying. It isn't such a bad ambient track, but sometimes it does get a little repetitive. The piano should have a little more emotion in this song, with both a bass and a slower treble; that usually has a powerful effect on songs like this. I agree with mjattie, the length was a little useless, since all the song did was repeat itself again. Instead, you can make it a loop; after all that's what songs in games usually are. Add some more effects as well, like occasional drops of water, and maybe a sudden loud effect somewhere near the end of the song (or loop if you're going to change it into a loop). In all, it's not bad. You fit it with the name very well, and some parts in the melody were pretty catchy. Some choices of instruments were quite good as well. Keep up the good work.

Taketheleap responds:

Thanks for the review, I'm starting to kinda see what everyone was talkin about with the repetitiveness, I probably should have made it a loop after all but even still, I appreciate the 8 lol.

[:technotest:]

Not bad!

Melody is pretty good. A little syncopated at times, in other words, hard to follow, but the notes are really good. It needs a faster drum rythm though, with different drums, and maybe some electronic effects. If you need any send me a PM, and I'll make some for you :). Anyway, overall it's pretty good, you should continue it. The pace is quite good for techno, just add a decent bass, some more and louder percussion, some effects, make it longer, and you've got a 5 star techno submission. Good luck with it :)

yoda2112 responds:
