lidlurch's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[[JL] Sodlikaw]

weird name, awesome song ^_^

Love it! my favorite part is the lead synths towards the end of the song. it sounds like it would fit a cheap arcade game pretty well. I thought you did a great job with it, but it could use a bit of detailing. I think that it could use a more interesting bass line, more dynamic contrasts and shifts, and less generic drumbeats. Other than that, great job! just needs to be tuned up, and given some attitude details you know?.

btw, i make music as well (garageband) would you mind reviewing a song of mine?

JohnLeprechaun responds:

Wow, that was a very meaty review. I agree with pretty much everything you said, and I'd be glad to review a song of yours. (BTW, in the time that it took for us to both type this, I've uploaded another song.)

[Solemn Prelude]

got sort of boring...

The mixing and blending of the notes was cool (didn't really like the fact that it was all synthesized), but it just didn't really go anywhere....I suppose that it's more of a background. my advice for you is to put some lyrics or something to it. That might make it easier to listen to.

OpenLight responds:

Thanks for the score and the pointers. I know it didn't really "go anywhere," but that's how it was intended. It's a prelude, somethat that'd precede something much larger.

But, I agree. It did get a little boring at times, but only if in the wrong mood.

I would not agree with adding Lyrics, for preludes tend to not have lyrics, or at least these kinds of preludes.

Thanks!

[Mario Theme (first try)]

I have no problems with it...

It's exactly the same thing as the mario theme. Rather than a remix, this seemed more like it was just transcribed to me. It's a great song, a lot of fun to listen to, but the question is: will you ever make it your own? Try doing that, and your reviews will be more constructive, because now it's just the mario song. as far as making the song, it was perfect! just if you wanna do a remix, make it your own ;)

i make music as well, mind reviewing a song of mine? thanks!

Tix92 responds:

Thanks for the review :) and yeah it sound exactly like the mario original song but with a other sound. this is kinda like a test something i wanna make a remix kinda like drum n bass style but first i had to make this :P

[[CS] TetrisHardcoreRemiX]

astounding!

I've never remixed a song before, but if there ever was an amazing remix of tetris, this would be it. I LOVE how it starts out with the original sound and changes to the rave version of it. great job, can't wait to hear more!

btw, you seem to know what you're doing, so if you have time, could you review my newest song? thanks :)

Unrl responds:

=P Thanks for reviewing! And I will check out your song soon!

[Drunk as Shit]

beat was interesting

i understand that you were experimenting, so i'm guessing it wasn't supposed to be all that great. it had some pretty neat mixing in it, but i would suggest adding more it than the bass line for the first half of the song. Add a few more synths as well to give the song more substance, right now it feels empty.

LiNaK37 responds:

Thank you for the criticism

[-586rick- soul braver demo]

great progression!

I really liked this song! the bass and bass drum interacted very well, even though they were very simple. The beat was formulated and thought out well. The only problem i have with this song is the synth that goes through the chord progression in the same form. do you think you could change up the rythm/form it's played in every once in a while? I think that would make the song much better!

btw, i make music as well, and was wondering if you wanted to review a song i posted just recently. thanks!

586rick responds:

thanks for the review, like I said its only a demo so the more help I have the better the full version will be. And i'll check your song later

[Lackadaisical Cohort - Part 1]

eh...potential?

I really can't decide what to say about this song because this song can't decide what it's supposed to be about! Your beats are pretty incredible, but you really need to decide on one beat! make a form to the music as well :P. As of right now, it's just a three note chord progression being played over and over and over and over and over and over in different ways! make some sort of refrain, bridge, intro, and conclusion. It's a cool idea, but it really doesn't go anywhere. the only thing that does go anywhere is the beat, which really doesn't make an entire song. My advice to you is to totally redo this song....but that's just me. From my point of view it's like 15 different forms of the same basic idea..pick one and build off of it.

InvisibleObserver responds:

Not to be antagonistic, but the idea of doing an overhaul of a song thats 12 minutes in length is absurd. You can be the sole indiviudal who is given acess to the file if you'd like to crap a brick and experience a change of mind.

Up to the 1:50 mark it is the same riff, after that things start getting mixed up and are not the same 3 chords.

Unfortunately a chart comparing complexity VS popularity displays a negative trend.

Its funny what one can conclude about such trends.

Editing my response for clarity, my last comment there is suggesting a lack of complexity on your part. Yes this is mildly inflammatory.
