DENT-de-lion's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Nature Motion]

Here's some feedback!

This is awesome! I don't know why after a whole year, no one has commented on this... I have to say, I could definitely see this building up into something bigger! It's still good though for being just shy of 2 minutes! Keep it up! Maybe you could try another track like this.

marlgryd responds:

Thanks! This is the only song I've actually really worked with, and not just killed some hours with, so it isn't surprising that this is the one of my songs that I personally favour.

[Chocolate Space]

Surprisingly cool!

I don't really know if this is industrial. Very beautiful and poppy, though! No complaints except it is very short and doesn't really evolve into anything very different then how it begins. You probably wanted it that way, but it makes it a little boring after 1:10 - which than the song ends anyway. If you wanted to expand it into a full song, I think at 1:10 you should completely take the song in a new direction. Keep it up!

marlgryd responds:

Thank you for your review! I don't really know much about the industrial genre, which explains why the song probably is put into this category.

I'm glad you liked it, and thanks for the tip!

[My Girl's an Eldritch Abomi...]

Uhhhhhh... Ummmm...

The best part was definitely the screaming. Yeah.

NotASpatula responds:

The best part was possibly the screaming. Maybe.

[Mild Tempest]

I like your use of random bells :P

The song starts off interesting - for a little while. I guess I have high expectations, but NOTHING really happens at all. The lead synth/bass sound gets very annoying. Maybe introduce some new beats, take the song in a new direction, etc. I'm all for musical spontaneity, but the drums sounds here (claps, bells, maracas) come off as random, because they are so inconsistent. This song has potential - the track just seems very stripped down. I think you should try adding layers, changing some instrument voices, adding some new beats. Really dissect it and expand the song into new territory. It was a good effort - I don't know how much time you put into this, but keep practicing and getting better!

mIdYeTtLeS responds:

Thank you for the advice. I've done some new things with the beat, more dubstepish. The instruments have had a complete overhaul too. As far as time put in, I spent a whopping 10 minutes on this track lol but thanks again for the positive criticism!

[Chalktopia]

Very smooth!

You are a very talented musician - I love all of the twists and turns this track has! Keep making such beautiful music!

Maxo responds:

thank you! glad to hear you like it!

[Bossa Nova Tale]

It sounds okay, but...

The instrument voices you're using sound horrible! Are those straight up MIDI sounds? Also, add some drums! If you made the keyboards sound real or even semi real and added drums I think this would sound a lot better.

PIED3 responds:

They aren't quite straight up midi, but they're close :P I'll try adding some drums and tweaking that, thanks for reviewing!

[Satanic Bells]

This is okay...

But I feel like it should only be about 40 seconds long... That's how long I could listen to it anyway.

SHIshimoro responds:

Okay Thanks for feedback

[Skyward Stretch]

This song is amazing!

I hope most of the 45 tracks sound this good! Keep it up!

Maxo responds:

thanks so much!

[Television is the End]

Sweet vocoder in the beginning!

It sounds pretty eerie... I just had to voice that once again, it just starts off TOO DAMN SLOW! After 0:55 it is blissful though. Starting at 2:24 could use a little more bongos/tribal drums. Good stuff! 3:03 - YEAH! Nice!

RawGreen responds:

Thanks~ I might come back to this one and work on it now.

[SkyRiderX - Under the Moon]

I really like the choir and saxophone sections!

This is mixed a little harshly. I feel like the middle tones are punching my ear drums out, while the high and low ends are a little quiet. The keyboard parts seem is a little messy (maybe it should start out like the harpish thing at 0:37) and some drum parts seem out of place to me (like the first drum part you hear - I don't think that is a very good intro drum part). This definitely has its good parts, though! I would plan on reworking the drums and changing some of the piano voices if you were going to use this for anything serious... I think you have shown much improvement in your newest song! I enjoy this style - Keep writing music and getting better!

SkyRiderX responds:

I will definitely change the drum kit I used, listening to this again makes me realize that the drums don't quite fit the song's attitude. The piano has seen many reworks but I'm sure many more on on their way xD Thanks for the review and I hope you continue to enjoy my songs!
