"Absolutely Amazing"

submission: Madness Antipathy
date: September 21, 2006

This flash is by far one of the best flash on newgrounds. I registered for the sole purpose of reviewing this flash. It has great graphics, amazing detail, and amazing music. A masterpiece, and a classic like all the others.

Speeding Through Infinity

"Sooooooooo cheeeeeeesyyyyyy"

date: December 12, 2009

The synths in here are, unfortunately, painfully cheezy and overly phased. Ignoring that, the basic idea and melody here is actually fairly good, if a bit random. The drum sidechaining is also totally absurd, as is much of the FX, which doesn't usually help. Try to avoid such an extended outro where everything is so filtered out you can't even make it out anyway. The percussion samples all suck but that doesn't really matter at this point since the drum lines are horrible anyway. You've got the right idea on some of the addin percussion, but without a real drumline they do nothing to help the song.

Seriously though, the volume is just going crazy with all that sidechaining (although you likely don't know what that is, so its limiter abuse). Go read that EQing tutorial again. The piano solo is commendable, but it swaps into major key in an offsetting manner, so you still need to work on the melodies.

Also this entire song never actually uses a pad. Ever.

6/10
5/5 cuz 0 bombers suck.

Author's Response:

Thanks for the review! I'm new to the Fruity Love Philter so I just grabbed a preset phaser from it and used it; maybe I could turn it down a little... Yeah, the drums... I have them fixed - maybe not the best samples, but now they're in the background where they're supposed to be. As for the outro, maybe two repetitions is a little much, I think one'd do the trick. Yeah, I do know what sidechaining is xP. It's when one sound covers up the other whenever it plays, and it's usually used in hardstyle where the kick sidechains the saw. I think that's what it is anyway O.o. Yeah, I'll be adding a pad probably after the intro, and maybe in the ambient part too. I'll try and work on the piano solo too. Anyway, thanks again for the review and all of the constructive criticism - I'll be adding a V2 with more melodies, more fullness, some pads, a better piano solo, a better ambient part and calming down that phaser a little XD.

[DjBjra] - The Decisive Battle

"YES."

date: December 10, 2009

Honestly it could be a lot better if given more time (FASTER damn it!), but I like the song too much to care. Now remix the 20 minute long final boss battle suite! -shot-

[DjBjra] - Eternal Fire

"It's that damn melody again"

date: December 10, 2009

I don't even care what the first part of the song is like. The melody takes this thing and throws it into the sky, on fire.

9/10
