stiltonchees's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Intense Power Struggle!!!]

Sick piano

The drums sound a bit awkward to me, (I think they are kind of distracting when it is just the paino and the hi-hat). But that may just be me.

Mrkapow responds:

Okey Doke! I'll get to experimenting with some more different drum sounds then! Thanks for the comment!!

[Brawling Spirit *C-Star*]

Really nice work

Maybe I listen to way to much Kamelot but I can totally hear some guitar and drums going here...
oh and what's with people giving an entirely positive review and then rating the thing a 9... I'll never understand that, sure it's not fucking John Williams, but hell you earned a 10.

CreamingStar responds:

Guitar and drums? I'll have to ruminate on that one. Just so I can get a better picture, what kind of drums do you mean?

[Still Blastin']

You are a Newgrounds Legend

Seriously, you never fail to make amazing songs.

NemesisTheory responds:

Thanks! That really means a lot. <3

[Something Wrong...]

I'll try to be quick

Since I know you said don't rag too hard on the vocals so I will make this quick, do yourself a favor and find yourself a singer. Also not a big fan of the vocal melody. The instrumentals on the other hand sound great and the only thing I am missing there is a solo, in my opinion with very few exceptions a great solo is what makes a metal song great.

Ryan-of-the-Metal responds:

You know what? You're probably completely right, my vocals are fairly sub-par, and so is my singing too. And thank you about your honest opinion about my instruments, I appreciate it immensely, you're like the first person to review one of my songs in like forever. O_o

If I also may mention something, I was actually planning on placing this in the 'Pop' section, since it's not really metal enough lol due to t he lack of soloing, but I don't think everyone would so much appreciate that.

But I like that change, thanks mucho, if you need reviewing, message me pronto.

[Space Lag]

Really quite nice

I have a few complaints, though to warn you this is not a style of music I tend to be a fan of so my advice might not necessarily be advice that you want to take since I am not an expert. But one the song was long enough I wish there was some build up. Second I am not a huge fan of the drum track, two main reasons, one is that I don't like the clap sound, I would much rather hear a snare, but I tend to listen to music with real drummers, second I wish there was variation in the drum track, it'd help the music build and make the part less boring, this could also be due to a bais towards a real drummer. I like the rest though so overall good work.

stackz989 responds:

Thanks for your review. You did give alot of info. there. I really appreciate it. Everything you said is completely clear - I should have added more variation onto this music track but, simply just kept it the way it was and posted it up as an audio submission on NEWGROUNDS. I do also like your idea of adding a snare instead of a clap and having real drum sounds. Thanks alot, yet again for your review. I'll keep the words of the reviewers like "you" in mind.

[Hobbit Trance (demo)]

This was great

And I am usually not a very big trance fan, so really nice work.

ThunderBeats responds:

thanks :)

[Concert in A(no score)]

Nice Chords

Will keep my eye out for the score.

michaelt15 responds:

haha its a progression that I have yet to score but when I write it I will give it to u :Dthx

[the way to heaven(little demo)]

Nice riff

The backround riff is cool, to me it feels like there are a couple of wrong notes in the melody line.

david1405 responds:

yeah there are some mistakes of you liked the riff
the riff is made by buckethead not by me
the song he uses this riff in is the way to heaven!

[.Inferno.]

I like what's here

I think it starts really cool, but then starts to a little overly repetative, but I like the ending part were it builds to.

HarvestThrone responds:

Aye, the repetiveness is because it may be used for a film, so I didn't want the music to distract from the movie. Thanks though! Glad you enjoyed it :D

[IYD - powermetal (w/o vocals)]

Good

This qualifies as power metal by definition but it doesn't really remind me of any of the power metal bands I listen too, is this based on the style of a certain band? Any way nice solo and a good song.

InYourDreams responds:

thnx 4 the review!
Nope, i think its more of my own style. I wasnt trying to be similar to some band. But i think it tuned out a little bit of what "Kamelot" normaly do.
