MattReeves's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Determined Battle]

Very good.

Epic battle music is always fun. And I like how you incorporated the metal influence into it. Very well composed, and I particularly like the transitional chord progressions, and the triplet transitions. The only thing I thought could use improvement has nothing to do with the composition itself. I just feel like the drums could use a little more "beef". Maybe bring the kick out a little more. I understand the piano is what drives the song, and that this song is meant for being in the background. But as a song by itself, I think a thicker/heavier foundation would compliment it a little better. Either way, I enjoyed it!

P.S. Reminds me of Dragonforce. Did you record the guitar?

corbetweller responds:

I agree completely with you Matt. The drums could certainly be more beefy! My mixing skills are still sub parr and I have been trying to improve them. As far as the guitar, I used direct line in with guitar rig.

[When We Die :: Px]

MAN this song makes me sick.

Ah man, I just puked all over the keyboard. There's chunks stuck between the keys, and it smells horrible. I think there was a little blood in there. What did I eat? Something with ham. It's already thickening, and my fingertips are starting to stick to the keys. My nostrils are burning. Even if I clean this up with a hot rag, the chunks will still be stuck in between the keys. Maybe I'll get a toothpick. I should probably take a shower too. It's just everywhere. All over the wall, the monitor, I can hardly even read what I'm writing through the yellow film that's starting to crust over it. I'll have to take a knife and scratch it off. And I should probably brush my teeth, because I can feel the stomach acid eating away at them. Or maybe I'll just leave it all to remind myself how much this song SUCKS.

JK

I actually like this song more each time I hear it. I really like the harmonies in the chorus. This song could actually sound really awesome with upbeat pop/rock music under it. We should do a remix, haha. But seriously.

5/5
