Falonefal's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[-Drifting Away-]

Yes, definitely good.

It's really dynamic, well mixed, and you change how the melody goes pretty often, I really really like that.

Good job, don't change anything...
Well, you could do something interesting with the drums during the moments when the orchestral synth starts to play...

But it's good without that too.

aDropInTheOcean responds:

Thanks for your feedback and the generous score, really appreciate it, yeah sometimes I forget about the drums and focus too much on the music. I will bear that in mind in the future. Thanks for pointing it out, helps a lot.

[The Five-Ton Elephant Swing]

Angelus sucks.

This song is ingenious, I don't know what the fuck that dude is blabbering about, the trombone (the main melody?) is INGENIOUS, I could see this in an animation about an elephant having drunk out of the polluted river and then walking around drunk through town destroying everything, with a text in the end "Keep our waters clean, it makes elephants drunk"

Ah well, maybe I'll make it one day with your permission of course, I'm having lots of flashes in my mind which I'm going to make someday :P
I'm already listening to it for the 50th time on loop, ingenious.

Don't change anything, maybe you could add a washboard instrument sound in some places, but it's perfect already :)

samulis responds:

Thanks for the kind reply, although I do have to agree with Angelus on two things- we were desperately out of tune and had not played for over two months. :)

Feel free to use the song, or any of my songs, whenever you want as long as they are non-commercial, you attribute me, and you tell me. ;)

And best of luck if you ever get to that flash. :)

[Highly Superstitious]

HOLY SHIT

THIS IS THE BEST THING I HAVE NOT HEARD IN MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!!

5/5 AND 10/10 FROM ME EVERY DAY BUDSZZ

FlameRetardant responds:

;) Have a good one.

[Blu's ballad!]

Woah.

Only sad that the drums kind of distract me from the melody because they are so freaking loud, they really got to be toned down.
Plus, those drums kind of don't fit the song, the bass drum does, but the hi-hat and the snare don't, they sound kind of too empty.

So it's ONLY an issue with the drums that I have, but for the rest, the song is REALLY great! That guitar, that is just fucked up man! In the right way! Maybe you could add a little echo to that guitar, to the long notes... I think that could be interesting :) VERY nice composition.

My 10 cents.

Theeinferno responds:

Glad you liked it.

[Spade]

Awww

Nice little simple song... your rain is sure softer than my rain.

This song sounds as if a Turtle just said "fuck it" and started dancing them paws off.

If you could add some "wind-like" effect to the background, like "swwwwwwooooooooooooooooosh" that would waltz through the song, it would be really cool.

Very nice work.

My 10 cents.

TerrorMantis responds:

Why thanks for the input. I've decided that I'm going to continue working on this track and add a lot more onto it. I'll be sure to try out your advice and see how it sounds.

[Dirty Stuff]

Hmm...

at 0:50 I was kind of expecting an explosion, a climax, but that never came.

Although I like your style, when that stuff kicked in at 1:33, kinda cool.
But still the song is a little empty, not enough dynamics.
On 2:00 you got it! That's when the song really got some dynamics, but that has to be done earlier in some way.

But nice stuff anyway :)

My 10 cents.

alvys18 responds:

hey thanks for the review dude very helpful...I made another version and fixed a couple of things.

[[VN] Eclipse]

It's a really attacking song.

And that's nice, I feel as if someone is having a debate with me, and is more powerful in his arguments, my arguments are completely shadowed by his strength, and I can do nothing, I am helpless.

Nice nice nice nice...
Don't change anything, it's very well this way :)

VNStudios responds:

Thanks very much! Please take time to visit our bandcamp and thank you again for your review!

[Luminescence]

Hmm...

There isn't enough change in the melody, it's really repetitive, head out on a limb and change it somewhere a little, instead of going down, go UP, instead of slow, go really fast, and then EXPLODE IN A VIOLENT melody of happiness :)

scrappy777 responds:

Thanks for the review. Yeah, I sometimes tend to have trouble veering from repetitive beats. I appreciate your suggestions and will definitely keep them in mind for my future songs :)

[Cricket City Level]

Well I immediately...

know a good melody when I hear it.
It's good, a good start, now you need to add a violin ensemble on the background, which will make your melody RISE, give it an atmosphere...
But this is starting out RATHER well I should say.

It's not done yet, so I can't really give you a high score yet, but when it's done, I'll definitely look into it again, it has potential :)

nsb411 responds:

Thanks. I see what you mean and I'll get working on it tomorrow.
