Suspended-3rd-Chord's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Eternal Slave]

Welly Executed

I definetly am not a "metalhead" but great job on this track. From what I've heard, usually (non-professional) people don't effectively use metalized vocals in a song like this. the growling, screaming is from deep within and sounds insanely evil in this track. So great job on the vocals, I usually don't like this style but this was definetly my favorite part of this track. They are very nice around 1:35 as well. I'm lovin the heavy ass guitar riffs. The guitar riff in the conclusion is perfect.

The acoustic sections adds a really nice creepy touch, the tone sounds almost medieval. I like the drums, they're suitable but sound a tad cheap. Would love to hear an electric guitar solo in here, even a acoustic solo fading out in the end would be perfect. Some gothic sounding choir pads would be a perfect fit in here as well.

excellent stuff! \m/

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

I'm astounded that there are people on NG, that actually review according to product... whether or not they like the type of music. I'm so used to seeing..."not my style..so I give it a 3". Not that I care about the score...its the attitude.

So HUGE thank you!
I agree with every aspect of your review. We are evolving...with every tune we work on and put out. So I hope you stay tuned. Definitely would like to hear your thoughts again.

So thanks for the kick ass review, and hope you listen to MORE metal in the future! \m/ haha.

[Articulate]

Quarl? More like COORL

Cool + Quarl = COORL ahem excuse the lame joke...>_>

this a lovely, soft ambient piece. Once again, great job on the beat and drums, very rhyhtmically sound stuff as usual. They have a nice sound too and the whistle you add in every beat or so adds some diversity.

I love the cloud? synths stuff as they just skip through the track so sweetly. And I love when you harmonize the sounds. I love the lead guitarish sounding tones. Very serene melodies.

Great stuff! If I had to give some criticism, I guess you could use different levels of volume through out the track to make it more dynamic...maybe that would ruin the feel...but i'm loving it!

Quarl responds:

You mean some chrechendos and dechrechendos? I used a few in there. Dunno. The program I use doesn't have alot of dynamic control with the mixing process so it's hard to get things to sound right. Thanks for the nice feed back :)

[Caribbean Sunflower.]

I got say this is top ten!

In the most relaxing tracks I've ever heard. Perfect, proffesional sound. Perfect levels of reverb and its almost flawlessly mastered. The slowness, simpleness is calming and is perferct track to listen to right before going to bed.

The airy pads are perfect in here, they sound like an ocean of love. And I love the carribean based percussion with some jazz influenced bits in here(and I love how it picks up in the end!) The piano is so peaceful and the melodies flow with the track so perfectly. The Bass sounds amazing in here. I love the kinda muffled guitar sounding tone, and the riffs are sexy!

Great work!

No1r responds:

[~'{Sky Aura}'~]

Happy Mix

Lush Mix of euphoric sounds and melodies. The saw melodies flow so well. The panned chip synth around 1:30 is floaty...the drum beat started off pretty weak, but got nice around 2:00....also adding the bassier pad around this time adds a nice feel complementing the second half of your track and rounds out your track rather nicely. good clarity all around, I think you could have made the snare samples a bit louder. track definetly invisions a sky. nice work!

Kid2Will responds:

Thanks dude, My next song should be a lil better.

[Wyldfyre Attempting an Original japanese anime theme]

LMAO

i've listened to this countless times, and its SO FUCKING HILARIOUS AND RANDOM. MY BALLSACK IS REALLY FUCKING BIG <----lol man. do more like this.

wyldfyre1 responds:

whats funny is no thought went into this! I just did it RIGHT on the spot and we used it in a flash. People liked it there and BAM i put it here. Next time i go on a random rant i'll post it!

[(WF1) Jaded Midnight]

Pretty Interesting

sounds like a search in a maze of some sorts...i like the beat in this one. Love the effect used around 1:30 and the more vibrant bell tones used after that. Nice choice of synths for the composition, good stuff.

wyldfyre1 responds:

Thanks again for the review! I was happy with how this turned out. Should check out my last 2 Demo's.

[Chemical Love]

Warm and Uplifiting

I've been feeling pretty depressed for the past few days or so but this made me feel a bit better inside. Love the percussion bits employed in here, nice conga stuff mixed with traditional drums. Clear, concise string pads makes me feel like I'm lieing down on the most comfortable bed ever. Some simple progression and melodies in here again, but once again you did a perfect job at it.

I do like the simplicity of the compositional side of this track...but a part of me wants you to leave it as it is, but it just seems like it needs a little more something...such as the long intelude without any percussion, I think you could have incorporated more of a build in there to make it more epic. then again, a soft track like this doesnt need to really be epic, so im kind contradicting myself.

mastering and clarity = perfect. perfect levels of reverb. sounds 100% professional did you go to a school for this?

once again tho, very nice track!

Gillenium responds:

I'm glad you liked it! I've been trying a different music-making technique recently, and it's really been helping me release both good music and timely music. If you'll notice, I haven't submitted much in 2007, and some of the stuff from 2007 hasn't gotten that great of a reaction. I wanted to change all this. My new strategy is to create as many song ideas as possible, build on the best ones, but never layer it too much. Stuff like Strange Petals is layered HEAVILY, but by some miracle it came out great. That doesn't happen very often. I kept this song at its simplest form, and I think it works best that way. When a song is simple, the listener will do one of two things: They will either go "This is underdeveloped, I hate this" or they will focus on the details and get drawn in. I hoped for the latter. Thanks for the review!

[Sonic 2 - Aquatic Ruins]

The way it should have been

I remember this level...I did not get to experience the aquatic level until the age of six...after losing for one year consecutively drowing on the prior stag...forgot what the level was called.

anyways, sick mix. sounds kinda like a medieval battle theme. Nice opening with the brass sections and timpani drum. great intro. I love the little sci-fi sounding melodies right before the main section, great way to introduce the chorus phrase of the main song. interesting job of slowing down the tempo a bit and mixing up the rhythms to create a more epic feel. Love the saw synths around 2:25..great job at intertwining classical and eletronic styles.

the quality could be a tad better. but no real problem.

Great remix!

PaulyBFromDa303 responds:

Thanx bro. The level is called Chemical Plant. That was sorta hard when I was about six . . .

Yeah the quality could always be better but its cause of the program I use. Its sorta crappy lol.

Glad you liked
