carl565's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Celestial Fantasy]

I'm loving the intro! The way the song fades in from "fog", I like to call it, is great. The leads hit home too. My god I can't get enough of this song, haha. The bassline for the song... it's leaving me speechless. Usually I like to find something that the song is missing and pick on that "something" for awhile in my review, but I haven't been able to find anything wrong with your piece. Congratulations then? haha, great song you guys, and keep up the great work!

AeronMusic responds:

That's great to hear. Many thanks for the comment! We appreciate it very much! :D

[DJSS - Golden Dreams]

Really love the intro with the hard kicks that come in at the perfect time. A lot of the transitions are perfect. The one flaw that I see in this project is that the vocals have a wah-wah effect to them that doesn't really seem appealing, at least to me. Not too big of a deal, but it makes it seem like its the bass of the kick that makes that effect happen to the vocals. In all, I love the leads that you picked for the song and the sweep up transition added a nice effect to the song overall. I really can't get over how nice the transitions are, haha. Awesome song, hopefully I will see more of your work in the future.

steelside responds:

I had orignally not had the vocals be affected by the kick's power and changed it just to see how it'd sound. I found myself gravitating toward this because, to me, it sounded better. without the up-down "wah wah" effect as you call it, the song felt very flat.

[Djentocide]

Was not expecting the relaxing intro to switch to being so heavy all of a sudden haha. Love the fast transitions, makes a short song actually feel finished and complete especially when there are so many. This one I actually do have a complaint. When the drums come in for the first time, they seem to be overpowering the song a little too much, but perhaps it's just my headphones. The rest of the song is great in my idea and I love the second transition where you bring in the guitar from the intro again. Kind of reminds me of Linkin Park a little bit. Awesome song.

Lublub194 responds:

It's almost the same in the end as the outro, but it's a bit different. I suppose you could be right about the whole over powered drums. It's just something I pushed out quick to go against fire118. We're having a djentoff :)

Check his stuff too! It's pretty awesome! Far better than mine!

[Hellspawn]

And I thought that last song reminded me of DooM. Dude, this is awesome. Got to be the best intro I've heard in a song in a long time. Got me hooked. The distorted guitar is definitely DooM, haha I love this so much. When it got to the end I was begging for more. Thanks for awaking a blast from the past. Time to put Doom 3 BFG edition in my xbox and play some DooM.

Lublub194 responds:

:3 Glad you enjoyed it! I felt super accomplished when I had finally finished this. It took me a good couple hours just to get the drop right. I watched the doom 3 trailer, over, and over, and over, and over again, until BAM! This.

Glad you liked it man! I always appreciate your reviews!

[Super Mario]

Wow, haha I'm literally speechless. I just saw the generic title and I expected garbage. What I got instead was pure amazingness! I'm definitely glad I clicked on this song. Everything about this song is perfect, I love the transitions and the Mario FX added in. Great job, I really cannot find any flaws.

Vernam responds:

Thanks a lot, bro)) Glad you like it)))

[Punk Song 1 (acoustic)]

Wow I love the chords played. If this could be turned into an actual song and this little loop became the melody to that song, that song would be one of my favorites! I can definitely see lyrics being added to this. Kind of off topic, I remember a time where I would vote 3 or sometimes a 4 on songs because they all seemed like shit, but now I find myself only voting 5's! haha, people have really stepped up their work I guess. Anyways, great job and I hope to hear that you extend this! if you do, you have to message me!

DFerociousbeast responds:

i was going to extend it on a new album im working on, I will totally see if I can make it a song :)

[The Party Goes, On!]

Pretty good, I liked the melody you chose for this song. I have to say, hahha, I was like "ok... just another boring song" and then the bass came in and I was like 0_0. Very much liked this song, had great transitions, and my favorite part?, near the end where the tempo is slowed down and then picks back up.

flippytomtom responds:

thank you for the feed back it means a lot

[COH:R - Cathedral Theme]

The title is very fitting! For me, if a title is fitting that usually means I will really like the song, hahaha. In this case, I would have liked it regardless. What I hear here is a great piece put together with all the right instruments and all the right emotions put into it! Love that deep dark feeling it gave me, not many songs can do that to me! Liked how it eventually was given a beat in the background and became more drastic! All in all, loved the song and I hope its used in great Newgrounds games/videos. Great job man!

Ironclover responds:

Thank you so much, you have no idea how much your review means to me, including on this particular song. I'm really glad you liked it c: Thank you.

[Your Mind]

As the reviewer below me said, I also don't like vocals in House music. Aside from the vocals, the song was BEAUTIFUL! loved the transitions, the beat, and the leads picked out for this song! Very good piece of music here.

djahmusic responds:

Thanx :p

[Game Over Theme]

I'd have to say, does sound like a great Zelda tune to me! Hopefully it turns out to be a great game, I'd love to check it out when it's finished. Anyhow, getting back to the song, definitely has a lot of dark emotion to it, which I love! Can't find any flaws so great work!

Newsect responds:

I was trying to convey a vibe that was dark and one that was true to the game. thanks for commenting. :D
