Angelus1818's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[In memory of our lost]

Amazing Work!

This is very good music. The flute reminds me of the six feet under main menu music for the dvds. (show not the band) That is very good, it's very heartfelt ans sincere. I am sorry for your loss, there really are no comforting words I can think of as a stranger, other than keep playing music, it's helped me.

5/5 10/10 Not Because I'm just trying to be nice to you, it's actually good.

Maverlyn responds:

thank you, not only for your kind words but because of your honesty.

i just uploaded it for some of my friends and all the users who are still grieving the lost

[Dark Forest - IO]

A Little Hectic..

Hey,

The overall idea in this is quite good. However the instruments really clash. They are doing to much with the sound they are making. It's like when you use to much sustain on your piano, the notes may be good, but the sound as a whole isn't. I don't mean to be ajerk, just telling you what I think, I to have the same problem every now and then.

3/5 6/10

-Angelus

InvisibleObserver responds:

You jerk!

Thanks for the honesty, I can understand why this would come across as exceptionally cluttered, though it was a very conscious process to make it this way. With the file being corrupt though I couldn't adequatly tweak things to improve on clarity. It would still have been cluttered, but the sounds would be more definable as their own sources isntead of jumbling a bit together. :(

Nothing wrong with layering.

[Symphony of the clouds - WIP]

Nice, But Stay Away From...

Overall, this is a nice listen. I think you should stay away from such popular samples. Like Magix or Apple Garageband stuff. Yeah, you can make a quick and easy song with them, but so can some one else!! I suggest using a midi program such as FL or Reason etc.. to put a twist on the samples you like, by mapping them out in another app with a different instrument.

8/10 4/5 But Please Stay Away From those well known samples!!!

-Angelus

Maverlyn responds:

Im not botherd by some other people making music like mine or better. i think it's actually better. that way we can get more flavours and versions of the same songs.

i have like 200+ megaman2 remixes of dr.wily stage all of them have the same theme but all of them are also diffrent.

in fact, if anyone wuld make a remix of any of my songs i wuld see it as an honor.

All Aside, This Is A Great, Relaxing Tune

Wow, I don't know why some douche bag left you a 1.00!! I gave you a five in an attempt to recover you hehe. This a nice tune. Aside from some of the finger picking being slightly out of tune. (I think it was your B string btw) Also your strumming was very "tight" sounding. Overall this song reminds me of Fireflies. It's like the guy who wrote fireflies, wrote a song when he was 14 just for fun. You obviesly have some great potential here. Keep up the good work and I loved the harmonics as well,

5/5 10/10 from me. Soley beacuse this song was made for fun, and it most DEFF comes off that way. it made me feel casual bliss.

-Angelus

Ragin-Asian responds:

no finger picking actually. ironically, the out of tune stuff was auto tuned :P thanks dude. i didn't realize people actually would like it. yep, this is definitely owl city/hellogoodbye inspired.

[Eurodancer (Airchoir Remix)]

Balanced

Hey,

Overall I like this, the Air Choir really fits in. This is a little below, but near the same level of When A Tear Is Shed by F777 or whoever that dude is. It's a little baren but I think it's a nice tune. Keep it up!!

-Angelus 4/5 9/10

minicoz responds:

Umm, thanks. I really thought on the name Airchoir. I listened to the other song but it doesn't really sound like mine.. But I liked it so thanks!

[Lost Love (Remix)]

Nice Combo

Hey,

It's very interesting. The guitar and vocals have way to much effects on them. But for some odd reason it works really well! Also the lyrics are really well written. "This ain't the life for me" or "A soul has been crushed" - "all for this worlds ungodly list. Incredible, simply amazing. I also love that you didn't stick to a traditional composition method. Yeah, you have a chorus and versus. But to me this does sound like a story or a piece of writing. I think you would do really well writing a musical. You have a unique sense of music, however it sounds quite commercial. I don't know, I wouldn't be surprised if I heard your music in a professional play.

9/10 5/5

Stereocrisis responds:

Thank you. I wrote this song using the whole "the one that got away" theme.

[My Duty]

Perfect

Hey,

This was done very well, if I heard this in a professional game/movie I wouldn't doubt it was made by a big name artist. IF you where planning on using this has main menu music or something I would probably wait to start the game until it ended.

5/5 10/10

Keep it up,

-Angelus1818

vai90 responds:

Wow, thanks a lot! :)

[Out of Your Control]

Second half FTW

This is a really good peace, however it sounds like two separate songs half way through. You start off "ConnieB" Style then suddenly go all "Red Hot Chillei Pepper" on me haha. I think the second half is better by the way. It has a hint of you in it, yet sounds commercial. I'd try expanding on that!!!!

Good Luck!!! And Keep It up!!!!

If it where not for the first half I would have given you a ten btw.....

ConnieB responds:

so you prefer the red hot chili peppers part? lol

[Guitar Time (WIP)]

Good Work!

It's actually a really good piece!

People listening! Give it a chance!!!! After the distortion comes in do not run away! The artist finds a way to use it appropriately! I'm telling you!!!! Anyway back to you hehe.

Your song sounds quite scattered at first, but I listened to it all, and liked a lot of it. I think it would be a good colab. I think your more of an acoustic guy with some "punk" in you. I suggest doing the acoustics and letting another person do the distortion part. There's a guy here goes by "ConnieB" Hit him up. (PM him lol)

I'm sure he'll work with ya. Anyway keep it up you have great talent!!!! I'd like to do an acoustic piece with you sometime to as well!!!! Or maybe you could distort over my acoustics for practice? If you want....anyway PM if you want more info on that. Overall 5/5-9/10

Good work dude!!!!!

Parkerman1700 responds:

Yea man, I know I need some practice with the distortion. Part of it is the fact that I can't get the distortion quite right with my amp.

But for sure I need some practice, thanks.

Yea dude, if you send me some stuff, I'll practice with it.

If you want, I can send you some acoustics.

1 more thing. This is actually the first time for me to use this program, and its the first song I made using it, so I'm sure I'll get better quite quickly. Thanks man.

[im not really sure]

Great! Soloing!!

My god man!

You can rock!

I did not know you has suck soloing powers in you. As you can tell from my "Acoustic X2" I ca not solo lol. Anyway Amazing work. I was blown away. You made an ambient song like all rockish. I don't know how lol. That must have been a lot of time and effort on your part and I thank you for it. I hope we can do something in the future a little better planned out! And me actually in tune!

I didn't vote as it's "our" work btw.....

TO ALL WHO SEE THE "0 Stars" !!!! I would have given it a 9!!!!!!

Peace-Angelus

ConnieB responds:

wow lol thanks, i litteraly just had it looping and doing my usual bullshiting around until i got sumtin that sounded good, then i hit record and tried to do it agin..(very hard when im not paying attention to what im doing) lmao
lookin forward to anything else ur plannin
