[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

[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.

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 :)
