shadowmana's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[[We Are All Belong Here]]

Can you get rid of the silent beginning?

Nothing for...almost 15 seconds? No good my friend. Need something that jumps out right at you.

Then it starts into something that almost sounds disorginized.

Ah, I'm just being negative about the song. It's pretty good despite what I said.

3/5, 6/10

Koriigahn responds:

The reason why it doesn't jump out at you is because its not Drum and Bass, or Rock, its Ambient music. Its meant to be like this.

Sorry you didn't like it as much as the others! :)

Woah!

Amazing build up in the beginning. Had to write a review basically to say that.

But can I say this, the song takes a bit too long to change. I found myself kinda wanting to skip ahead to see if it even changes. When it does change however, it's great.

Keep it up, grats on the #11

xKore responds:

Thanks fo the review shadowmana, I'm kinda not really happy with the repitition in the intro too..

[Opaquely Clouds]

...despite what people said before me

As relaxing as it is, I found it really REALLY boring. That doesn't mean it's not good, it's just not something I would actually stop, close my eyes, and listen to. I'd find myself falling asleep before I'd enjoy it. Of course, that makes it a great relaxing and falling asleep song.

But hey, it's still good...just not something I enjoyed (Not that my opinion only matters, but my vote isn't going to change based on what other people think, rather what I think.)

Semaphore responds:

I know what you mean if you don't like this genre it is difficult to listen
but you have to see the time that spend in and the sounding of the instruments
even you dislike the notes ,chords , tact ,structure

you have to look at all sides of making a song

I could do such BOOM BOOM songs but this is an ambient song , for quiete moments in a movie or a game , thats not a try to infiltrate the world with that kind of genre , it's only a work that comes from heart ...

besides it was my 4th song ever before I hadn't nothing to do with music

when I give a lesser point review I listen at all these things and mostly it's at least a 5 but I respect your opinion and thank you for your critic =)

not everyone have to like everything ;)

[Daydream [Remix]]

Sounds like it's right out of a dance club

Although dance club music is a bit repetitive and sort of annoying after a while, it does give you something to bump and grind to.

Koodles on your success.

Thanks for your review

[Heaven's Tears]

Ever played Legend of Mana?

Or any game from the Mana series? The beginning sounds like something right out of that. Once the beat comes in however, it definantly sounds a lot like an...adult film if you catch my drift. Either that or the background music for a dramatic part in a soap opera.

Despite, I like it! Great job

shadowmana

BlazingDragon responds:

I am in the midst of Secret of Mana, actually. I am quite familiar with the music from the entire series and am a big fan. (Fear of the Heaven's...Great song!) When you say adult film,...Never mind.

In any case, thanks for the review!

[Tech Metal #2]

Sounds like an 8bit game

That might be the reason I enjoy it. I could see it on an old fashion fighter/shooting game. Or maybe even like an FZero menu song.

Great job!

aveus128 responds:

Thanks a lot man, i admit the "lead" is kinda annoying but im on a really shitty comp right now. I don't like synth guitars and this cant record any real stuff. its also just random wankering aha

[_-={When Madness Descends}=-_]

Hm..

The beginning sounds like noise. It clears up eventually, but man I wouldn't normall continue to listen to something that sounded that clustered and noisy in the beginning. But hey, one of the best of the week, so I had to take a listen.

Not bad after the beginning. Hope you continue to create and explore

shadowmana

MaestroRage responds:

Hey shadowmana! Thanks for the honesty, I made the intro to have that guitar noise for a purpose really, as I felt it was the best way to convey the madness, the unstable chaos that is this person the protagonists in the movie were about to face.

Still I know what you mean, thanks for the review!

[Quarantine (revised)]

How do you have a 2.65?

This is a great song! I mean, I enjoyed it a lot. The singing is a bit weird, sure, but the harmony of the two voices really pulls it together.

GREAT JOB

Jakspeed responds:

Haha thanks man! Yeah this is still a rough draft so the singing's going to be even better on the next one. Keep listenin!

[Konami Code]

Good job getting featured!

Nice song, I find myself bobbing my head to it.

Keep up the great work.

SMA responds:

Thank you for bobbing along, and for the great score!

[.:ZX - Summer Nights:.]

Awww man, you're killing me!

(I write as I listen)

Nice intro. I like the beat and fell of it right off the bat.

And a very nice build! The only problem is that it didn't build up to anything. It had all of this building up of sound and drum that leads to a solo. I didn't particularly like that, but it did flow through well enough to keep my attention and enjoyment.

Man! There's two parts where you build up to nothing. I really just wanted a part to jump up and dance to, but it never really hit. I mean, I guess near 1:30 it picks up, but for some reason isn't as loud as the drums had made it seem like it would be.

I enjoyed it however. Great work.

DJ-X-POSED responds:

Thanks for the criticism.
