NikolaosTheDark's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[-Glorious-]

You're in the right genre.

Awesome stuff. Has an old school electro feel to it. It's awesome by itself, but see if someone can rap to this. I'm sure it'd be perfect.

5/5. I'll do what I can do prevent zero-bombing on this piece.

jiggamaneZ responds:

Thanx! but i don't think that this can be a rap song. Maybe an R&B. Thanks again for liking this song. :D

"...i gave it a 5/10 myself and i made it."

There's just your problem: There are thousands (if not millions) of Newgrounds members that frequent the Audio Portal, bringing about thousands if not millions of different minds. They don't always think that a 5/10 is what you deserve.

Quite personally, I agree fully with Mystery-Moon-Pie-Aud, that metal is more than just guitars and drums. Not only that, but the quality is poor and the synching leaves much to be desired.

XunpureX responds:

all i have is guitar and drums though. i have sad equipment really. i have no professional way of recording, no mixing and editing software other then windows recording. i also use my amp to record to record into the computer, instead of directly. i dont use a metronome or even write the songs. i just make it up as i go. really i put no effort into any of my recording tracks. bare minimum dude.

[Brando - The Beginning]

Just enough...

It has that touch of Yelltek but is still original. Well done.

Dj-Brand0 responds:

Thanks Nicolas! Really glad you liked it.
Yeah definitely that touch.

-Cheers Brando ^_^

[Edge of Faith]

Very well made.

The synths, guitars and drums mix very well.

NemesisTheory responds:

thanks, I'm glad you think so! :D

[Napalm and Children Remix]

I'm going to be BRUTALLY honest.

I have absolutely no clue as to how this got SOTW. I'm sorry, this is just bad. It doesn't even SOUND like any real effort was put behind it, humorous or not. How this song even resembles humor escapes my imagination.

-Opening instruments sounded incredibly generic.
-I would've let the vocals go if they were actually funny.
-I understand that house songs are supposed to have a little bit of an "airy" or "open" feel to them, but there was absolutely no depth whatsoever.

I'm not a douchebag; believe me, I'm saying what I feel as civilly (albeit realistically) as possible. So, in closing, please put more effort behind your songs.

daperson1 responds:

As I have stated numerous times, there was little effort put into this music. It was created as a joke, submitted to enable easier distribution among a small group of friends, and, thanks to the efforts of hundreds of members here, attained the honour of being one of the songs of the week. I did not choose for this to happen - it simply happened. You guys did it, not me :).
There was no consideration to genre conformity given to this piece. It has no genre, so none can be allocated to it. As a result, the allocation of this genre was somewhat random, but seemed to fit best.
Perceived level of 'funnyness' is subjective. It would appear you are outvoted by the majority of your peers in your opinion of the vocals (All about 12 seconds of them, you will note. In this several minute song. Hmm.)
