Just Remember I would of given all 10's except I was told to review harder...

WinTang - Final Fantasy 3: Narshe
Video Game

7/10

Mellow kind of song although good at times sounded blocked at other. Very good job in setting the mood of a place but it lacks sound and quality of recording in some areas.

Noe3 - ~Strangers~
Trance

6.5/10

If this song was in a race it would have been ahead in the beginning but then it would not of passed the finished line. The song had a catchy flow to it and the Backround was the only part of the song I really enjoyed the rest of it seemed to get on my nerves you could of chose better samples and what not maybe if you spent more time on this it would of came better you had potential.

Dark6 - Grind
Trance

7.5/10

Wow had a very good feeling in the song. The vocals added an extra touch to it although you could of put more of it in the song. You also kept switching everything around so one cannot become tired of the song this was a good thing. The thing that you went off on a wrong foot on is all the sounds sounded like I was hearing them from outside the room like a wall was blocking them. I was going to give you a 7 but decided on an 8 since the Bass gave it some extra juice.

-Steve- - (\/) <Impossible> (\/)
New Wave

7/10

Your putting me to sleep here in a good way this song was very relaxing and mellow the vocals could have been went about in a better way. Hmm im not sure what sound it is but it’s the one the keeps on going bum bum bum throughout the song that got a little over used and it was a little to loud. The harps you used where awesome you defitnalty have to make another song using these harps. Overall great job!

Haiasi - Dark Heaven
Techno – Trance

9/10

Great! This song really got me going the quality was very very good. Crisp and clear with a nice flowing pattern made this song a pleasure to listen to and even more of a pleasure to review it. You better keep this kind of work up!

AdmiralConquistador - Beyond Repair
House

8/10

This was a tricky song I like that it had a dated feeling to it and that it kept pumping but some tweaks in the Bass could have been made. I liked the pattern you use could of however changed some things up to this song I was not a big fan of what you did before the ending part seemed a bit messy. Overall I liked it I can see myself listening to this more than once keep it up!

DarKsidE_555 - *+ *...Frozen...*+ *
Heavy Metal – Metal

9/10

This was awesome the flow was great everything seemed to be going well even the quality was done well I was not expecting it to be so crisp sounding. Although like all good things there is always a flaw and here it is that in the song there is the percussion is to much made the song sound messy. Other than that great job!

VegetarianMeat - Peaceful Crimson
Ambient

6/10

Interesting but the major problem is not much happened in the song it never took some hard right turns however because of this this would be excellent for some plain background music for like a flash here on newgrounds. Like the feeling the song gave though. Great song for a winning flash, not for a winning song though….

Grumbleduke - Dryad Whispers
Classical

7/10

Nice flowing you have the flute was very well done the harp made everything blend. The flute I could of liked to hear more of it and also if you brought in more instruments that would have been nice aswell. The beginning of the song was my favorite part, made everything seem like a dream. The instruments sounded great and clear. Overall nice job liked the setting you created…

nightvision - Each Step
Trance

8/10

Great song! When I clicked play I was like wow kind of over done here I was expecting something not that great but then when the song kicked into full gear wow is all I can say! This got me going really liked the choice of instruments and samples you took fit in very nicely. My only suggestion though is to not make things so jammed packed with things at times in the song it seemed like there was to much going on.

Love_Hate_War - Broken Wings Part 1
Heavy Metal – Metal

9.2/10

Very well done, the vocals where great although the screaming in the background was a bit creepy at times. The guitar and drums where awesome really great sounding the quality sounded very well done I did not hear any major flaws in this song. The drums is my favorite part in this whole thing they really are something to listen to. Awsome stuff!

MusicalRocky - Introduction, Rondo et Scherzo
Classical

8/10

Im giving you the same score as I did in my other review. This song was great the piano was just incredible real talent some parts were overdone and other parts were bland. Why couldn’t you make the whole song sound like the ending it was just awesome almost perfect I must say it sounded like you got a jolt of energy at the last bit.

Dj_Fanta5t1c - Bass Force (Short Mix)
Techno

6/10

Well the claps brought down your score im sorry to say they seemed overdone and bit to loud. The Bass was awesome though it sounded great on my speakers but then even though you bass were good made for a good start for a song the rest of the song fell apart. I would suggest taking the baseline and ditch everything else and rework this song.

Notes:
This was probably the second biggest pile of shit that I've heard... The first would be anything by LJCoffee but this one came close. It was completely uninspired - there was nothing interesting about it in any way and I'm not even sure that it qualifies as music... unless you can call a dirty crackwhore's queef after a full night on the strip "music"

I would have voted 0, but I reserve zero votes for people actual accounts because I like to hurt the scores...

WAFER THIN ICE LJC :)

This has been very enjoyable! Let's get MAC6 August on the roll soon - as a theme I suggest "insanely difficult jazz-fugues in uneven signatures recorded live with a big band".

Thanks Ruck, you're a poor excuse for a lazy Scandinavian!
Thanks all the judges, thanks LJC, thanks Metalcan, thanks everyone who made this possible.

Watercolour sucks!!

ASK HOW

Response to Mac6 - July 2006-08-09 11:10:40


alright. I guess i could post my reviews.

Musical Odyssey - The Final Warrior - XG Version
Repetitive, but Catchy. The song doesn't really tell a story; It tells a single thought over and over again in different voices. I think it could use the introduction of new instruments now and then. It doesn't really sound like trance, almost like a video game (Which is good.) The ritard close to the end was a bit sloppy.
Clarity 8/Diversity 6/Originality 7/Effort 8/Total 7

pitbulljones - There is Faith in Hope
It's a little too repetitive for me. I'd like it more if there was some structure to it, rather than the same chords over and over with some different instruments thrown in every 8-12 bars or so. However, for what it is, this is a very well made song. Solid chord progression with an ear for texture. I give you props for not overlooking details.
Clarity 8/Diversity 8/Originality 8/Effort 9/Total 8

Flashburn - Enigma
Good start! Nice energy with the chords moving the beat along perfectly. Perfect voicing of instruments. Sounds very professional. Downloaded. Good Looping Quality.
Clarity 9/Diversity 8/Originality 10/Effort 10/Total 9

HouseMasta - || TranceMasta ||
Reminds me of my old Atari 2600. Something doesn't sit right. I think it may be the lead instrument. Drums are good, but a little overpowering. It'd be cool to have some double-bass sixteenth notes at the end. Good Job.
Clarity 7/Diversity 7/Originality 8/Effort 9/Total 8

PedroMancuso - The Nasty Nice Fairy
A little strange. But i think that's what you were going for. I give you points for effort and originality. But a little structure in experimental music is always nice. Reminds me of the free-form jazz exploration in Spinal Tap.
Clarity 7/Diversity 7/Originality 8/Effort 10/Total 8

_Arbiter_ - Dark Winds
The right channel seems a little less powered than the left. The ending was a hair abrupt. Melody was good, but the song went nowhere. I like the wooden flute part in the middle. It's a nice touch. Well Mastered.
Clarity 8/Diversity 8/Originality 7/Effort 9/Total 8

cat_bastards - Diarrhea of Death
Interesting. That's all i can say.
Clarity 8/Diversity 10/Originality 10/Effort 8/Total 9

Kaija - Pajaros
Very interesting. I like the voices. The mix is good and the rhythm of the background intstruments takes the listener away to an indian street market. Well done.
Clarity 9/Diversity 9/Originality 10/Effort 10/Total 9

Watercolour - Cocaine
Very well done. The instruments, the rhythm, the mix... they all fit together perfectly. Keep up the good work.
Clarity 9/Diversity 10/Originality 9/Effort 10/Total 9

SoulStrings - While Heaven Burns
Nice energy at the beginning. I may pick a different organ voice when it comes in. It sounds like a baseball park organ. Nice looping capabilities. I think you captured the spirit of the peice very well.
Clarity 9/Diversity 9/Originality 8/Effort 9/Total 9

-OCON- - Crying For Love (Remix)
Well mastered with a catchy melody. I liked how the layers crept in instead of just starting. It makes the song flow together much better. You have a very good ear for mixes. Sounds very professional. A few more texture effects would make this song perfect.
Clarity 10/Diversity 9/Originality 10/Effort 9/Total 9

Deflektor - Contest Song
Good opening. I think the strings could come in a little bit softer. The solo violin voice you used sounds like it's being played by a person. All around good stuffs. Keep up the good work.
Clarity 9/Diversity 9/Originality 9/Effort 9/Total 9

darkkloud - Misantropia
First off, the mix needs help. I hear some faint drums, a lot of guitar effect noise (the wierd hum you get with a distortion pedal), and what sounds to be the inside of the stomach of a lion. Cool effect, but it needs a bit of help.
Clarity 5/Diversity 7/Originality 6/Effort 8/Total 6

Congrats to Watercolour! Who will be next?

Response to Mac6 - July 2006-08-09 11:14:38


No - seriously there is a prize and a pretty good one too - but we're waiting for confirmation on a few details before anything is promised.

Rucklo will let everyone know as soon as he can.

The SUPERSECRET EXTRA AWARD is now visible on the Newgrounds frontpage.

Mad props to Denvish for agreeing in putting the #1 and #2 contestants there!!! Go check his bluegrass stuff to make him happy!!! :)

#1 and #2 are the ones selected to end up on the frontpage, since the impact of the initial #1 award (sig pic) is unclear how much of an impact it really have/will have. The thought was to have #2 and #3 up there, but yeah this is how it is now :)
