Omgwtfcritz's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Metical - Revolution]

Amazing

i would give you a twenty out of ten if I could. The stuff you make is beyond amazing, I love it man, you are by far one of my favorite audio artists here. And I only leave long reviews to artists I actually really like so here goes.

Good Things:
-Loved the beat, really well implemented. Edirol Orch Is My Bitch is still top played on my iPod heh, and this one is definitely on it's way there.
-Liked the way you used those electronic and other sound effects.
-Orchestra was incredible as usual, no surprise coming from you though jray.

Bad Things:
-Piano intro was a bit too long for my taste, and sounded kind of like elevator music, haha.
-Sometimes the beat was a bit too drowned out and it sounded weird, especially near the end.
-There were some slightly awkward melody transitions like at 4:57 and at 56 seconds, but I'm not quite sure.
-I feel like some more choir could've been used more.

Well, yeah, that's about it. I would leave a longer and more in depth review but I'm kind of in a rush now. But in general, this song deserves to be at the top in the classical section man, you seriously kick so much ass at making music. Oh, and one more thing, I think it would be kind of cool if you took this melody and made like a symphonic metal remix of it, if you got the time you should try it out. Well yeah, later for now man, I'm really lookin' forward to all of your future works whatever they may be, keep this stuff coming! 5/5, 10/10, and a definite download.

[Burning the Past!]

Amazing

All those zero bombers need to go die. Seriously, does metal get much better than this? Great job man I like it! Only one small problem which you shouldn't really bother to fix, the beginning of the epic solo sounded kind of scratchy for some reason. Great job either way though, keep this stuff coming! 5/5

[Zajed|K-Dm - Liberation]

Epic

Godamn, whenever you and K-Dm do a collab, I swear, they somehow always manage to make something that gives epic a new meaning. But as always, I just gotta leave a long-ass review so here goes.

Good Things:
-Loved the beat, although I think it could be a tiny bit more powerful, to pack more of an impact. And maybe you could vary it every now and than.
-Loved the epic intro, the implementation of the snare, bells, and the faint piano.

Bad Things:
-Everything sounded a bit too high-pitched at times. And the transition between notes, especially in the strings during slow sections sounded kind of strange. But it got easier to overlook as the tempo got faster.
-Sometimes when long notes were held out, it seemed like the tone was vibrating, I don't know it's hard to describe, but it sounded weird. Kind of unnaturally echo-ey.
-An epic song like this? With no choir? Come on you guys what were you thinking? haha
-A small complaint that's more of a personal preference. Kind of sounded very generic and I don't know, "cheesy." Like something that would play in a sports movie or something. But, ah well, who cares.

Well, what can I say? You and K-Dm just simply kick-ass. Major ass. You guys are the best hip-hop artists here on this portal by far, haven't heard anyone else that can get to this level of musicianship. Great to job to both of you, keep this epic, symphonic/orchestral hip-hop stuff coming people! 5/5, peace.

Zajed responds:

finally your review lol

-well i dont have a really big drum library actually im overall limited on sounds i just got my hands on a really really good orchestra vst, didnt figured everything out yet, i still have to work abit more with it, all i need now is better drums
-and all those drums i have well they dont made for sometihng like this, i just tried the best with the samples i have

-well i tried many different ways to master it but im guess this one was just a too big project, and im not that expierenced with projects of this size, but i think the high pitched thing is more a matter of taste
-i know what you mean there is a moment where 2 strings clashing at each other, but it gets better when a trumpet goes with it because the trumpet makes it easier to sort it, well or maybe im just too nooby lol
-dunno about the vibrating but when you work ilke 3 hours straight on something then sometimes you easily overhear something, maybe when im listening again to it tomorrow i will think/hear the same so i can change it
-about the choir lol, well i dont have a good choir yet im limited on my sounds lol i have to do the best with the things i have
-lol sports movie, i can imagine many different things to it but a sports movie? lol

thanks alot for the review man, always a pleasure to read your reviews,
i know that im not responding that much on reviews lately its like
''i should response, but i got a s**tload of things to do'' lol and im kinda lazy, i jsut dont wanna write to good review ''thanks alot i appreciate it''

anyway, thanks alot for your review, i guess this track is just the beginning of some bigger things

[Beyond the Dimension of Time]

Nice

Really good man, nice to see another song from you. I love how you take your old songs and remake em' into something a lot better. But I got a couple things to say about it.

Good Things:
-I love your solos (2:08) and the way you play them. I can practically feel the passion radiating from the song as it's played. No joke, you're an amazing guitar player.
-I really like this new crystal-clear sound quality you got going.

Bad Things:
Only gripe I can really find about this song is that the drums are sometimes a bit overpowering and loud. And is it just me or does it sound kind of off-beat around those parts too? (At 32 seconds and 1:20.)

Well yeah, great song man, you were probably one of my first audio portal artists that I really liked when I first came onto this site and I'm always going to be a fan of your work. Oh and another thing, if you haven't read my billions of other reviews on your songs, have you thought about ever doing a symphonic metal collab with anyone (Devastus, Jrayteam6, Sasha_Tarquin etc.) or just simply doing it by yourself? It's just, not I only do I think it would sound amazing, but I think it'd be really interesting to see how you approach symphonic metal with your guitar skills. It'd be cool so see how you stylize the song, because they're many different playing styles/guitar integration that I've heard before. But yeah, it's just a suggestion that I'm hoping you would consider, or it could be that I just like symphonic metal too much... heh. Later for now man, 5/5 and keep this stuff coming, peace!

Xenogenocide responds:

Thank you very much for your review! I love having loads of stuff to read like this. I appreciate that man.

I'm glad you took a liking to my new producing techniques and my 'passionate' solos. :P

The drums seem a little over powering because I compress them quite a lot, though I don't quite understand why they're load myself - I set limiters on all the tracks to try to get them all at the same level. :/

One thing I do notice though is that the left lead is slightly overpowered by the right lead and it's annoying as hell because I can't quite find why that is! ><

Anywho, a collab you say? Symphonic metal you say? I'm sure it can be arranged. Sit tight dude. ;)

[K-Dm - Desolation]

Nice

Sup' man, nice to see a new song from you. Here's what I got to say about it.

Bad Things:
-The background strings sounded incredibly off-tone with the piano. They both really clashed. Because of this, it made the song sound a whole lot worse than it really was.

Good Things:
-Piano was great as usual.
-Liked the drums and the beat was nice.

Well that's about it, the strings were really the only problem. All in all, pretty good job man, 5/5, peace.

K-Dm responds:

hmmmm ur right those actually dont sound too good LOL

i dunno y i thought they did...

neways thx for spottin that ill upload an edited version soon with a new string pattern or just no strings at all

[The Devourer (Preview)]

Wow...

Dude... seriously, you're symphonic metal stuff never fails to blow me away, damn... I'm still recovering from the shock of hearing this incredible song. Geez, I like this song so much, I just gotta leave an extensive review. Here some things I think this song needs, which isn't much!

-More choir, throw in some bits here and there to get that epic feel.
-Fade ending was weird but of course this was a preview, so yeah, forget that.
-Beginning was good and all but I feel like it needed more. Like crash symbols or some choir to make it sound bigger and more dramatic if you know what I mean.
-Orchestral usage was mind-blowing in general, just simply incredible man.
-Guitar integration was great, I love it when you throw in those high-pitched squealing kind of notes if you know what I'm talking about.
-I love the way the brass was implemented in the background. The recurring brass blares were tight and really added a lot to the song.
-I usually like my symphonic metal songs with the orchestra more in the front, but damn, did this change my opinion.
-Guitar entrance could've been less abrupt, but it was fine really.
-I kind of didn't want to bring this up but that tapping part or whatever it's called that started around 36 seconds kind of bothered me. I feel like it didn't really fit in well with the song. It could be just because I like the more melodic kind of playing and not the fancy guitar techniques but whatever, it's cool. I personally don't play guitar so I don't really know what I'm talking about, heh.

Alright, well I think that's about it. You've gained yourself a permanent, and forever-loyal fan right here man (even though after hearing The Summoning I sort of already was), keep this symphonic metal stuff coming man, seriously, it's amazing! After hearing this, I've vowed to always 5 your songs and review every single one. Sorry if I sound a bit overenthusiastic but hey, that's the way I act after I hear a great song! Again, keep it up man! Peace,

SYMPHONIC METAL FTW BITCHES!!! \../ (>_<) \../

Devastus responds:

Haha, a long and a very good review from you, thank you very much :P

Yeah, now to response to all of this :P

I will be doing more choir onto it, maybe even a real choir. I'm gonna try to make this as detailed as possible without my computer exploding on me. The fade ending is just because it's a preview and there's no full song yet, the finished one will have an actual ending.

I like the guitar-drums-only part at the mere beginning myself (somewhere around 36 seconds like you said), in my opinion it gave it an kickstart to the coming epic move. Or that's atleast what I was trying to implement with it. I was picking it all, by the way :P

I'm very impressed to have gotten so much compliments from you, and I'm very grateful for the extensive and good review you did. Makes a fuzzy warm feeling deep inside :P

Gonna try to keep the quality up (and get better too). Thank you for your review and for being a fan :P

[K-Dm|Zajed - Annihilation]

Nice

Well, two of my fave hip-hop artists in one, who could ask for more? Well I'm in the mood for an extensive review, and you guys seem to like that kind of thing so here goes!

Good Things:
-Guitars were great, kind of fake at times, but it really suited the song.
-Strings were great not much to say there.
-Piano implementation was nice.
-Brass blares in the background were a nice touch.
-The recurring electronic noises in the background were nice too, usually I don't like them but hey, I guess there's a first for everything.

Bad Things:
-Only thing I can really think is that the beat switch-off between the clap and the scratch noises kind of sounded jumbled at times but not really, just trying to find something for the bad category; kind of hard for a song this good.

Well all in all, you guys both kick ass. Keep this stuff coming you two! 5/5, peace.

K-Dm responds:

wow what a review haha

thx for all the constant support n reviews for sure guy

glad ur a fan of our music

[Tubular Bells DnB - ST]

Great

Really nice song man, the beat and drums were great. The bells added a really nice touch to the song as well. All in all, good job! 5/5

[[ f ] Brawl Remix]

Nice

Sounded bad at first but damn, it blew me away as the song progressed. This song is packin' a lot of power man, keep this stuff coming! 5/5, peace.

flashmac responds:

Yeah it defenitley becomes more epic as it progresses. Glad you liked it man, thanks a lot for the review.

[K-Dm - Failure (RE)]

Great

Great song man. Only problem I really had with this song was the weird plucky noise at the beginning. I don't know, I just didn't really like the sound much. But everything else like the strings, piano, and drums were great.

K-Dm responds:

hmmm i like the pizzcato... but i did use a dif plugin for it...
(cuz i used the edirol for everything else)

so maybe it sounds a lil cheap or just kinda seperate from the rest of the song

i might try an edirol pizzcato or maybe just a piano n upload a dif version later

thx for the review
