[Shine Cover (NO VOX)]

I actually LIKED the guitar in it.

I'm glad that you put the guitar in it because it would be bland with only drums. I also liked what the beat is at the end but this song is WAY too long and it was the same beat so it got pretty repetive like in thge middle. 2 minutes would be more reasonable. but on the last minute of the song I heard this beeping noise, was this the guitar because I think it was. But I agree with Alix1, It DOES need some lyrics and singing to it and can imagine what it would sound like with it and it would sound very cool if you did. I also don't know why this is called "Shine Cover". The namejust doesn't go along with it. So this is your SECOND attempt, i can't imagine what the first one sounds like so I looked at it but I was suprised that the first one is better than this. Other than that, here is the overall score:

Choice of Instruments 10/10
Beat 10/10
Guitar 10/10
Drum 10/10
Originality 10/10

Hope you enjoyed this review!

Well it would seem that I assumed to much about this song lol

This song is originally by a band called "Collective Soul". I should probably put that in he discription for the people who probably have not heard it. It's called "Shine Cover" because it is just that, a cover. I wish this was my original song. The beat is only as repetitive as the original, but with some slight tweakings to make it so it's not exactly the same.

The first go had a lot more mistakes than this one, especially the bass part.
The reason why it's not shorter, is because the song is about that length. So yeah sorry the length wont be changing unfortunately, but i will be adding the vocal part hopefully soon.
It makes me feel kind of old to say this song was pretty popular way back when. And it's been one of my favorite songs. So if you want to research it and listen to the original.

Anyways, thank you for the review. =3

[-Zestify-]

Would make a great theme song on a game.

You did very good at the beginning with the drums and the bass guitar and all of the other instruments and I liked the beat a lot. I think this is pretty neat. It wasn't very glitchy like you said, you probably have a slow computer or something because I'm on my laptop right now and it sounds fine to me. Also to me, the static sounded pretty cool for this song but im sure it would make it sound crappier on other songs. But I skipped to like the middle and It sounded the same which made it sound sort of repetitive. The ending is very cool too how it just faded out. But I had first opinions on the beginning because I though it wouldn't be very clear but it sounded like it was on a radio of some sort at the beginning but I still liked this song and I think you should keep it up. Here is the overall score

Originality 6/10 (Because it was inspired by another song)
Effort 10/10
Beat 10/10
Choice of Instruments 10/10
Drums 10/10
Bass Guitar 10/10
Like I said, keep it up!

Liam3003 responds:

Thanks for the very constructive review, Joshsouza. The song was very glitchy, I removed 3 layers of drums because I thought it was abit over the top, All the sounds you hear are intended so I wouldn't say I have a slow computer. I know it's repetitive, but most songs are really. Thanks again for the review.
Cheers.

[[DX] Haunted Hip-Hop]

I though it was pretty cool.

I liked the beat and you did a very good job with the drums too. I can't really picture it in a Halloween Genre though. I agree that it was kind of short though. But i still liked it a lot.I kind of feel like I have heard it in a boss battle in a game. It would fit very well if someone was looking for a boss battle song. I mean like a HARD boss battle. Kind of the same when it got halfway so you should like break off half and make it loop and I bet it would sound the same. I really liked the beat a lot but you should add more instruments to it or something to make it sound cooler because It gets kind of bland with like 3 or 4 instruments in it. Other than that, here is the overall score:

Beat 10/10
Choice of Instruments 10/10
Originality 10/10
Effort 10/10
Do I want an encore? Yes.

Thanks for the review. I know there are only a few instruments, I couldn't find good ones that fits the song :\
I even considered making a loop, but songs never loop correctly for me.

[Aleos]

Awesome Job!

First I thought it was a halloween song at the beginning but when it got farther in, I noticed that Halloween Genre wasn't a good choice. I liked how clear it was when I heard it.

Why don't you make it a flash game if you inspiring for a game unless you don't have flash. It made a good haunted house tune. I liked how you used the instruments in it.

I still can't believe that no one has reviewed on this yet. This is a good song. I really enjoyed it. I think it would be cool if someone downloaded this and somehow got it to a big stereo set and play it outside a house tonight because it's one of the things you usually hear when you are about to enter a house transformed into a haunted house.

Other than that I have nothing else to say.
5/5
10/10

Kirbyfemur responds:

Wow I'm glad you liked it!

I got the inspiration from a screen shot of a flash game someone in the audio forum is making. So it's not that I had the inspiration to make a flash game, it's just inspiration in the hope that it could work out for the particular video game.

If someone randomly wanted to use it in anything of there's i'd probably pass out from excitement, even if the thing ends up being a turd, it would mean that I'm starting to at least get good enough in my composing to be noticed.

I'm more surprised that anyone has reviewed it at all lol I either have one, nor mno reviews on my songs, so having even one review is nice. Thanks again! =3

[Windows Wars]

Best song I have heard all day!

I had heard all of the sounds that Windows and Macs made and I thought it would be the crappiest song ever because I would hear all the annoying sounds I hear on My computer everyday but Instead, it came out very good!

It was also very clear and almost sounded like a symphony. Bu you should make a flash of this as a music video. I'm sure It would get a good score if you did. You also did a good job with the drums and sometimes I didn't recognize the sounds because it sounded good.

It i amazing that this song took 44 sound effects. I'm sure it took a lot of effort for you to make this song. I found this song when I was looking at your post on the BBS and then I clicked one of the links at the bottom of your post.

Dont stop going to Newgrounds. You should make more songs like this. I really enjoyed it enough to download it on my MP3. Also how all of the annoying sounds we hear every day got collected and put into a great song.

10/10
5/5
Kudos to you

Step responds:

Hey, thanks for the awesome review! I knew it was a good idea putting that link in my sig XD. I wish I could make a flash out of this, but I can't get head or tails how to use flash :(. Maybe I get lucky enough to have a good flash artist pass by... Yeah it was quite hard to do, even though windows songs are usually easy, plus I wanted this song to have loads of variety, so it was even harder, so I'm glad you appreciate my work :D. I don't think I'll be able to ever make a song as good as this any time soon, but I did make some XP songs before in case you're interested (they're not half as good as this though :\). Anyway, thanks a lot for the great review, you've improved enormously from your old reviews ;).

[Waltz of Reminiscing]

i like it

It feels like I have heard it from a game like Figure 8 or something but it's not. I really liked the beat and it was very simple and relaxing. It sounds like something I'd sleep to. It made me not want to press pause or something to stop it. That's why I favorited it. This is probobly one of my favorite songs now it ssounds like sometyhing I would hear if I was looking at a photo album. You did a very nice job on this one

Tysuru responds:

Thank you so much. =]
That means a lot to me. Really.

You should hear it on a real piano, haha. I end up getting lost in it and the midi sounds aren't as cheesy.

Thank you so much =]

[The Travel to Polaris]

I like it

It was very silent but gradually it got better. Kudos to you you made a nice song! It was very long. It was only 7 minutes but it actually felt felt like i was going somewhere like that. It also had good rhythm. Keep up the good work.

Helth responds:

Haha thanks! :D
