VGSongbird's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pokemon RB: Final Battle]

Ok.Ok. I'm head bangin a little...

Hey cool beat. Although right at about 25sec. it was kinda pounding on my ears.
Would've been great if you had not just done octaves for this, either.

But the idea was great. Keep it up.

dondrummer responds:

thanks, i never heard the original, so i'm glad you liked it!

[Zelda OoT Song of Storms Remix]

whoa, I feel like I'm on bad drugs...

Sometimes the beat really wasn't clear, even though it was....that's kind of confusing, but so was the song.

I liked your idea, but some of the harmonies really fell apart.
I felt like maybe you should've taken a step back to look at the whole picture. =(

sorry

carl565 responds:

no, its ok

im going to make a new version
thanks for your review

[Zelda Rock]

You Passed Your Test; A+ YAY!

The beat could probably be a little more defined, and I would bring out the base line a little more.
But for a test, this certainly has a finished feel to it. ^_^

Anthouse21 responds:

Thanks man, ill be posting more zelda tracks as well as an updated version of this track. So keep on the lookout!

[Dr. M Fever]

yay for drugs

This theme always made me smile and think of like a chicken with it's head cut off.

Great version. It really stuck to the original, but there's your own individual feel in it.
*sniff sniff* so proud....

Cosmos8942 responds:

"*sniff sniff*" 'so proud...' >:] Glad to hear it ;p. I try to stick to the original as much as I can for most of the songs I do. I mean, what is a remix if it doesn't hold a semblance of the original feel and emotion within it? I strive to create remixes that are better then their original counterparts and to do that I must add in my own feel with that of the original piece. Thus creating a whole semi-new song. Meh, here is me blabbing again ^^;

Thanks for the review! and damn those chickens ><,

[The Weight and the Sum]

oooh rockin >.<

Who's singing?
I loved the guitar. Is this an original piece?
Great job ^_^

Cantosphile responds:

Thanks!

Yes, it's an original
The middle eight's like the most overused riff ever, but that didn't stop me from using it.
I'd like to say my guitar playing has improved, but that would be a lie.

[Game Town Tune]

I'm not sure I'm familliar with this song...

If this is an original, than that explains the fact that I have no idea where this is from.

Everything was well drafted and had great sync, which is very important.
It did feel a little bit dry though; maybe consider switching up some of the voices next time.

Cantosphile responds:

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it.
Yeah there's something fundamentally wrong with the song, and I'm thinking it's the instruments, too.
If that's what you meant.
It is an original, by the way.

[Echoz- Zelda09demo]

I've Got A Suggestion...Finish It

This is awesomeXcore dude.
I'd dance to this shit any day. ^_^
I think it would be even better if you defined the bass notes a little more, maybe bring them out; the bass and the beat are the two most important parts of a dance song, and I couldn't really hear the bass melody.
Great job though

EchozAurora responds:

Yeah.... it's finished now... I can't edit the file anymore lol. Unless I feel like redoing it all entirely,..

Who knows.. maybe eventually. Glad ya liked it though! =D

[Zelda: Kokiri Forest]

punk rock

Very Nice. Someone obviously has skills with their guitar.
It was very short; I would've loved an extended version. But it was well done, and that makes up for the length.

DeathBasket responds:

Thanks.
It's shorter because I tried to stay close to the original with this one, which is only very short anyway. I suppose I could have improvised a bit though to extend it, I'll bear that in mind for the future.

[Ice*Cap*Zone [DL2kMix]]

Pretty Sure You Showed Me This At The Apartment

But this is seriously bad ass.
I could see this in the background during a chase scene in someone's flash.
I like the mix of the violin with the technological sounds, because it doesn't sound forced like it always has the possibility of being.
Straight up 5s and 10s.
When I get my iTunes working again, a 5-star there and on my "Best of the Techno" Playlist.
That's how FUCKIN rad this song is.

DarkLink2000 responds:

lol. Ok. Thanks ^_^ Makes me feel pretty good, although I'm pretty sure you completely 1-upped all my work in the 5 songs you've done. Lol Imagine how epic it would be if we did a collab song?

[LOZ-Gerudo Valley Remix]

I Could Get Used To This

I think this song really needs a beat.
The effect of just having the one voice together is great, but I personally believe its only effective if the tones are soft; electronic sounds need beats to even them out.

But other than that, I thought it was good. ^_^

flippicat responds:

Thanks. I agree with you, actually, and I'm trying to find an appropriate percussion sound to mix with the sounds well. If you listen to the original they actually had a castanet-like sound for the percussion line, but I really haven't found one that's even close to that.
