FlaggedOnArrival's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Hyrulian Rave]

I've loved the Zelda series since I was three. The first game I played was A Link to the Past. I've bought/downloaded every single game since, going as far even as a Chronological Beat of the entire series. Including the games done by Philips. In all my time playing Zelda, I have Nae heard such splendid and evoking work. They should have used this in Skyward Sword somewhere. Im just sayin'.

I usually have criticism.
For this I have no criticism.

5/5 - 5 Stars and a very excited download.

5/5 10/10

omg... this song's power rating is... it's.... OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!

DiroNomer responds:

Arghh. No way thats scouters broken! lol

[Who Sleeps Anyway? [Trance]]

My only complaint

Too much tophat, and ride. Other than that this song compels the listener to finish through to the end. 1:48 was a flawless transition, and the effect you used suits the melody in my opinion.

Try to cut back a little on the tophat riding, as it started to take away from the rest of the song (in my opinion)

Overall: A very well organized piece.
4/5

Or4nges responds:

Yeah i kind of agree. I could of definately cut the hi-hat at 1:14 and at least turned it down in a few other places. Was trying to keep the energy flow in more ways than just a pounding bass drum. Maybe i'll have to get even more creative lol.

I'll take the advice to heart.

[This Dreary Existence]

Imaginative.

I like the melody. When I say that, I don't mean it lightly. I see this as something a person could dance to one night, and fight to the next. It's aggressive without being aggressive, yet passionate to the core and displays a certain attitude that does the song justice. Very well done my friend.

5/5

TheBellmaker responds:

I thank you very much for your review, and the fav. I may also post my classical pieces if you wish to listen as well.

Regardless, I will check out some of your other pieces in the future.

Thanks again!

[Alone Again.]

I can't help myself

Listening to this piece... and thinking of my ex. we spent three years together and have a son... within one day everything came crashing down. I honestly don't know what i want anymore. I still feel like my entire world is being ripped apart, though the break-up happened less than two weeks ago. I just can't believe that she's already with someone else, and is happy. I wish the best for her, truly i do, but hearing this song just brings up feelings that i've been putting off and trying not to feel.

MarkySpark responds:

I know again how you feel, don't ask yourself why and don't ponder on the happy times you had and want them back. Time does heal and eventually you will forget those feelings you had for her. The best healer is to find someone else, and no doubt she's just around the corner. B e a good dad to your son by seeing him often. Good luck my friend.

[Who Knows ( Deep Beat )]

Very createive

Keep it up!

Thanks bro!

[We Are Amazing (NG Tribute)]

Excellent

Great melody with a seemingly flawless intro transition. Loving the background pads used. The transition at :44 was superb, and the change in melody is well pieced together! Nothing really to criticize here!

MTLane responds:

Thanks bro I really appreciate it! I listened to some of your submissions and I love your work!

[Cold Machine]

Very intriguing.

The only question i have is about the intro. Why didn't you choose to mix between the two melodies? i think that by rushing into the second melody at 0:12 the song was a little diminished, but that's not stopping me from giving you a 5! I think this was very well put together other than that first transition, it seemed a little harsh.

well, honestly i just didn't take the time but, i usually release 2-3 diff versions of songs so ill modify it next time i release a version. Thanks for the review.

[Asylum [WIP]]

Hey there

I'm all about honesty, and honestly, the intro is a little short if you're going to make a 30 minute piece. Don't get me wrong, i like it.

1.) Try bring in some strings (softly) around the :50 mark, but make sure they dont overpower the piano, from what I gather you want the piano to be the main theme in said piece.

2.) Play with octaves. Up down left right no matter the case a higher and/or lower octave helps to break the monotony even if you use the same notes.

3.) Light drums as well help to break away from monotony without overpowering the piano. Just make sure that you keep focusing on the piano / melody. If you focus too much on drums you can lose your train of thought.

4.) In order to keep people listening for 30 minutes you have to "make" them listen. Bring in some parts to pump up the listener, then tone it down a notch, make them think "uh, i wanna hear that again" you can buy yourself some much needed "interest" from the listener.

All in all this isn't a bad into at all!

Slaytesics responds:

Thanks, and don't worry, this will be more of an introduction, I will try to bring in the strings at :50 secs

[Why?-seargenthippo(WIP)]

As i was listening to this, someone knocked on my door. when I got up I started dancing to the door. I dont ever do that. I don't dance. Your music made me dance. Just wish it was a little bit longer!
