schizophranic's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Eagle River]

Nice work!

I get the feeling of your song. It's relaxing... If this is how your town is like: Calm, everything runs at it's own speed and isn't hurying in any way. Great!!!

Though, I'd really like to hear a little relaxing solo instead of those "love spirals downwards"-guitars at about 2:30 which later melts together with the themes you work before.
Unfortunately I don't know Eagle River so I can't tell if the crashes which come after the guitars at about 2:55 really fit, but considering the rest of the song it creates a quite strong tension which dissolves the atmosphere you built up earlier.
All in all 9/10 - 4/5

Great work! I really enjoy listening to it.

you are the type of person that motivates me to make more music, thank you

[Broken Glass (Opening) WIP]

I see...

You like Phillip Glass a lot, don't cha?!^^

I like the way you combine different complex and unusual rythms in this song. Plus you did right with the delay. Most people tend to use way too much feedback on piano and everything starts to mess up. You have a clear defined the difference between wet and dry sound. The reverb also works very well on this piece of art.
At least I wanna say that I like the fact you used a very hard sound of piano since the title of your work is Broken glass.

Slaytesics responds:

Thanks, it is nice to see someone knows who Philip Glass is.

[Midnight Black Guitar]

Composition vs. Mastering

Nice one^^

I see it can hepl you sleep.

But watching the song from the mastering, you put the sustain too long and in some moments the flow is heavily interrupted, when this loud sustaining guitar sound stops all in a sudden.

The composition is great. A song to listen to. It does not push into your ear, it flys by. The melody is constant and alows your mind to relax. Fine work buddy^^

Thanks for the review, I know what you mean though with the sustain pedal. It is something that I've been trying to work on. (still kinda new to making music and all that fun stuff).

[-Looking Forward-]

Boring...

Some sounds of this pieace are very interesting, but
1) every sample you inserted seems to play for itself without any responding to the other voices.
2) this synth you make playing nearly through the whole track drives me crazy. None stop the same theme with a little alternation in rythm at serveral moments.
3) waht's the intro all about? Is this a rmx of some computergame of the 90's?

[-Glitch-]

Honestly

Much better than this imminent thing.

This sounds really professional. The mastering is correct. The composition of sounds, rythm and is well done^^ Congratulation. Only critic: What a pitty you didn't use complete vocals.

[It's Imminent]

Yap,

Solus's right.

The songs catchy, altough the lead is sounding quite... cheap...

I liked the very begining though. If you'd used some vocals, that would have been absolutley enogh for a great hip hop track^^ Keep up the good work. I like this one much more than your tetris rmx^^

[~Tetris!~ Trance RMXxx]

Intercultural rape...

Not didn't just rape the tetris theme with this rmx you even pulled kalinka in this...

sorry man, but to do an remix you should at least be able to reproduce the notes of a track.

I know you were -or still consider you- being a newby, but that shouldn't protect you from any negative critics.
To be honest this rmx is crap. You made it in a spacial way listenable, but not for my ears.

I'll rate the rest of your songs later. Don't have time right now.

Keep practicing.

MomoSmoothie responds:

Negative criticism is fine, if it isn't a useless review with absolutely 0% constructive criticism.
Considering I made this years ago, having very little experience, yes - it's by far not the greatest remix, but giving the lowest possible rating and just trashing the song is low. Next time, something useful would be nice.

[Automatic Dreamer]

Amazing^^

Walking above a dream like the title suggests^^

I like this heavy kick you use in this song. Amazing play with the dynamism of the drum at all. Plus this heavenly lead^^ I like this song very much^^

S0LUS responds:

Thanks a ton for the review. I'm glad you enjoy the song! ^_^

[Cannibal Remix (2)]

NIce!

Excellent work!

The sounds fit perfectly together.
Nice drum and the acid synth is amazing!

What a pitty it lasts only for 2:38min :(

[Hope of Life!]

I can't belive this^^

I swear I rated all those songs at once not knowing the others from the earliest to this one^^ And they're really getting better all the time^^
This is a great song. Love it. It is both calming and exciting as it has this undefineable tension in it while it still sounds like an ambient song^^
