crimsonblod's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[-:YRX:- Gods Fist]

Caught me with the first note.

This song starts epic and just keeps going. So much going on in the background, and absolutely ZERO static. Great job there my friend. About midway, it's rather strange, enjoyable, just different. Almost like a growl. And that solo! man that's wicked. Simple, but wicked. Feels a bit short though. IT ends well, just a minute and a half too early. Great job mate. I love the feel of this song. A brisk pace, with dead sprints and some break-dancing thrown in between. Bloody brilliant this one is.

YouriX responds:

Thanks for the review. Im glad you said that there werent any static since i worked hard at the mixing to avoide clipping. Thanks for that noticing cheers!

[On This Dark Day]

Nice intro.

I love the progression in your intro. It's a fun pattern I've never heard put quite like that. Then the choir joining in, and the heavy drum. Beautiful. Slow, but strong. Second run, higher volume.
Ah, this time I notice the volume on the right speaker. Nice touch, kinda like walking by some dark carnival, and the sound catches the attention of the ear facing it, but until it changes, you don't turn to face it. Nice, stylish hook. I really enjoyed it. Here's to more from you in the future. *Raises glass*.

thats a very interesting scene you've created there, i like it! thanks for the review, and thanks for listening!

[Good Morning {durn}]

Good morning to you durn.

Great song. It is what it says it is. It's a "Good Morning World, guess who woke up on the right side of the bed today?" Waking up to this is a definite must. Lol. Always a good idea to wake up to happy music. IT's not an inspirational piece, or a dramatic one. It's a greeting, and a darn good one at that.

durn responds:

Good morning to you too, crimson! :)

Hahah, yes, yes I have been waking up in a good mood these past few weeks. Weather's too nice to stay in bed so I gave myself somethin' refreshing to wake up to so I'm not such a lazy bum! :D

Thanks for the listen and review, dude!

[Overload (remix)]

I almost skipped.

The intro was long, but the build up was worth it. Waiting, makes the sudden transition worth it. Way worth it. But I can barely hear the melody at max volume in some places, with my headphones. The melody needs to have a little edge over the beat, at pretty much any time there is a melody. If it's just background to the point of near nonexistence, it's just white noise, that could be put to better use enhancing the beat. But other than that, great song.

[Dreamscape - To The Stars]

Pretty gosh darn good.

I really enjoyed it. A strong beat, kept my head nodding. Great harmony, especially with such rough, harsh sounds. That's some great talent there. I'll tell you what I told the last artist I listened to, it's been so long since I've been here, I forgot the sheer level of talent on this site.
But wazzu is right, the words subtract more than add to the song. But the audience is epic. Gives a stadium feel, which is great for this fast, harsh song.

Great song mate. I look forward to hearing more from you in the future.

Btw, I'm not sure I like my spartans in the wazzu... Doesn't sound like a pleasant experience.

[We Run And Fight]

Wow!

The sheer level of complexity in this song is INCREDIBLE! Multitasking? This is beyond multitasking. How you got that many sounds layered over one another, and still had pitches matching harmoniously... I'm speechless, and that's rare.

And I love the intro. Grabs your attention. Not just some of it, All of it.

Remember to have strong intros, I'm sure you know that. People like me don't listen to the rest of the song if the hook isn't in the beginning, whether it be subtle, or like yours, in your face.

[[IMD]~Voltage]

Hey! Two edited tankmen in a row!

I loved this song. It's been a while since I've gone to Newgrounds on a regular basis, and I had forgotten the raw talent this site has. Thanks for bringing me back mate. I like the in and out, kinda inspires a timekeeping nod. I think you could have worked more on the in and out with a left and right fade as well. Other than that, great song. Try to work on the left and right speaker next time, and this run will take the amps to 11.

IceMasterDlux responds:

Wow, thank you a ton! That really makes me very honored to hear. I appreciate reviews like this. I'll have to work on the things you mentioned. Thanks a lot for the kind review, man, it means a lot to me. God bless!

[Dreams {durn}]

Fantastic

Honestly, it's a great song. Interesting, but not overdone, and dynamic. Not just the same things looped over and over again, but rather, a consistent beat, with soloing over the top. Great job mate.

durn responds:

:) thanks crimson. glad the effort didn't go unnoticed! :D

[Reasoner- Dear World]

Yet again

I must seem like a bandwagon fanboy by now, but I see no problem with that. I hear great music, and I leave a post.
An interesting inspiration. This inspires me to let my mind wander. The tones leave one pondering the mistakes of the path, but like any good balm, though it can sting when it is first applied, it soothes over time and heals more than just skin deep. Relaxing, it inspires creativity while also encouraging the constants of life. So to me, this piece is a song of folly, strength, and rebirth. Constantly changing, but consistently similar.

[Reasoner- Living Transparent]

Incredible

This peace screams passion. The beautiful bowl of the bassline, filled to the brim with the thrilling treble. As a musician, I understand your plea. Having something this perfect, and wanting to make it better is frustrating. But don't forget that this is groundbreaking. This is what keeps me coming back to your music. A fresh taste of strength and warmth in this bitter, swirling, world of forgetfulness and half truths. Repetitive, but in the good way. The simple elegance wrapping the listener in wonder and pondered dreams. The best way to describe this is Revitalizing. The classic soft, almost random patterns of true treble, and the deep, rich tones that you feel rather than hear for the bass. I personally have no idea what can make this better, but I wish you the best of luck in your crusade.
