Holywar20's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Finding A Fairy]

Discord is not bad

i disagree with the below assesment. That out of key note is deliberate, and gives the song some tension. I think that single note gives it some charactor.

[Time (The Milkman_Dan Finale)]

Awesome

your probally sick of people kissing your ass by now, but this rocks.

Deep and engrossing. Good music should imerse you into another world. There is no technical defination or style that does this, no correct or incorrect notes, it simply does what it does, draws you in, and when the last note rings, you don't want to leave.

Its like an epiphany one has as they stare from a mountain top onto a bustling city below you .... it just clicks and for a breif second, you feel as a god, and can truely change the world.

And this what this does. Simple yet elegant. Well done.

My only critism for this (and i know its old, but good to hear) is the guitar. It doesnt sound like it belongs. A guiter would work, but it sounds to 'tinny' like the amp was in a cardboard box. A revered instrument with more punch would have finished the peice off perfectly.

[Tick Tock Life's Clock]

good work

I want to go smite something now. :)

[The Calm Before The Storm (RE)]

Awesome

I love mixed orchestrated and techno back grounds. it has such an inspiring feel to it, like warriors ready to engage a great enemy that have rent assunder their entire world.

[=[The Assault]=]

heh

not bad. And you have good taste in games. Halo, UT, and Dues Ex.

[*-*-*Last Breath*-*-*]

Wow

Its in STEREO! Freakin awesome.

Sounds almost like Rob Dougan or Paul Oakenfold. Good City Music. Like a man sitting on the sidewalk of new york while a thousand people walk by him, and he speaks aloud some great wisdom of his life, that no one around him can hear.

[Evisceration Nation]

I like it

It has a nice feel to it. I think it needs a bit more of a consistant theme to it. It gets a bit dislexic after a while. Like maybe a meledy that changes intrustements and style beneath it without loosing tempo.

still well done. I need to get garage band. it sounds like a fun program.

[The Beautiful Savage]

Awesome

Well done sir. No crits. Sometimes art must be left as it is .... art.

[~First to Kill~ - kelwynshade]

I would have to agree with

The below asssement of the peice. Its interesting, but that sweep thing your using on the drums aren't doing it any favors. I would take the sweep effect off all together and try something with a bit more base and punch. Then change up the melody a bit, add an instrument or two for deeper harmony.

I like the chorals midway through, its a nice touch, but there's no real build up, they just come out of no were.

Good peice, better than most on new grounds, but not one of your best works. That being said your one of my favorite artists here, and i been habitually checkin this place every week or so for new stuff, so keep it up.

kelwynshade responds:

Thanks for the comments. I tried some stuff out. More of an experiment with the full effect on drums. I'm so / so on it myself. I agree that there should have been a build up on the choir. I went for that..."Smash TV" feel.

Regardless, thanks for the review!
