DENT-de-lion's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Asleep Atop An Atom]

Pretty cool stuff. The drums come in almost too late. Right at around 1:47 I was SO tired of hearing the same thing, but the drums added some more interest. I almost lose interest again until 2:53. Man, you really tread the line between being boring and awesome. Once I crossed the 2:53 mark it all sounds good though. Around 4:36 I'm really digging this. Nice one, dude. The latter half of the song was really a treat!

LLAAPPSSEE responds:

Great review. I really really appreciate you taking some time to hit me some comments. It's a slow builder. I've been working at more ambient tones in my work lately. I tried to fill the beginning with various interesting bits woven in. I may have to turn the light guitar up some, give it more presence within all that crushed guitar noise. Glad you dug the latter segment - It's a a sharp turn of direction from the beginning - seems like a lot of my work has been like that lately.

[Change of Scene]

Nice, man! Pretty enjoyable groove. My only complaint is that the bass is not nearly as deep nor as funky as it should be for a killer tune like this!

stackz989 responds:

Thanks for the review man.

[Lectro Funk[Electro Mix]]

Awesome stuff, man. I'm really getting into your music!

KSBeats responds:

Hey thanks man. you should check out my latest track

[Goblin]

Everything before 0:24 made me want to stop listening to the song. The noise at 0:52 was pretty awesome/unexpected. The beat at 1:21 was a WIN! 1:34 the beat starts getting repetitive. Make some fresh beats. Bake them. Sprinkle them onto this song at 1:34. Then... Masterpiece!

ChickenTechno responds:

Thanks for the pointers! :)
this took less than an hour to make. It was making new sounds that took long.

[[HOWLBANE] Overdrive 1.0.]

Nice bubble pop! Or was that a drip? Anyway, cool beat, but it's way too short!!!!! ARGHH! Add some more beats to this!

Howlbane responds:

I'm still working on it. I'm gonna make an extended version ^^

[Blind Elephants Dali]

Pretty cool. Take these suggestions if you want. I wish somewhere in the first minute there was 4 bass drum hits in a row! I think that 1:28 should start out with a drum part similar to 1:42 rather than build up to one (pr at least keep the palm-muting on guitar the whole section). 1:57 is pretty sweet. I like the guitar part on the left, although for 2:25 I think you should hold out a higher note (like maybe an octave higher). 2:39 was a nice change. 3:11 came in weird with the pause and i don't think it really fits. The last part brings the piece full circle again. Pretty good song, man. Rated 4 for effort.

BiviZ responds:

Oh. So much useful information. Okay. That 4 bass drums should be sound like tr-t-tr-t-tr-t-tr-t, right? The moment with 1:28 in original version start out with similiar drums, but there are so many unexpected turns so then i decided to just leave as is. About 2:25 im totally agree and 3:11 too. The problem with this riff that I have not formulated his idea.
Thanks for feedback, bro. It is very important to me ^_^

[Late Night Sprawl]

I voted 3 because 2:46 is a step in the right direction. The rest of the song seemed robotic. Nothing was really moving about the composition. 3:13 was way too over the top and killed the cool vibe you had going... 3:40 just pushed the song further down the hole. Try coming up with some different chords and progressions. Decent track. Keep practicing and put as much time as you can into composition!

What I have always gone by was to change the melody if not once, twice. I changed the melody from eighth notes to chords. I didnt want to change the melody too much, because if you ask me, the melody is just purely addictive.
