Mizox's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[KR- S3&K Act1 Boss]

nice remix!

epicness seeps out of every pore, good job, bits of it sound like old midis, but of course you had to work within the limit of your materials, and it works out pretty good all the same, nice job!

knuxrouge responds:

Thanks.
I'm kinda ashamed of this one.
I felt like I could do better.

[Somewhere in Nevada]

pretty good

not QUITE the madness style, you need something a bit more like GSscreamer's Rock'n temple zelda 2 if you know what I mean, but it is still a very good piece, just not what you were going for, I guess Metal just isn't your thing, oh well, it's definitely still worth listening to

WritersBlock responds:

Madness isn't really metal, more drumn bass, which is what I was going for. It just wasn't dark enough. I'll try and get an update on this with moar bass.

Thanks for the review.

[The Death of Hank]

YOU CANNOT KILL HANK!

but if you could, this is how he would want to go, in the beginning it sounds like you're just looping the same melody over and over, but that's excusable, but you can just hear the sad hopelessness of a great warrior who has fought one battle too many, poor Hank

WritersBlock responds:

I added some instruments here and there, and overall it's a pretty long loop before the progression repeats (I think I do it twice?).
Thanks for the review, and
YOU CAN SO KILL HANK!

[Closed for the Weekend]

DUDE!

reminds me of your snowboard kids piece, fast, hyper, happy, and catchy, also, do I detect chiptunes? and no, it isn't crap, if I could compose stuff like this, well, I can't, you have a talent, you have a skill, if you can throw together stuff like this in a few hours, then I cannot imagine your full potential in the ZOMGHYPER genre

WritersBlock responds:

The instruments used lacked a lot of depth, so yeah, they're kinda chiptune-y but weren't made that way. I just think I messed about with 3xOsc until I got something ok. I think the bass was a preset off a free VSTi I found.

In terms of quality, this piece is crap. Little to no effort went into the mixing, the drums were just thrown together without consideration, if I put some effort into the mix and drums, added some depth to the instruments and organised the song better, rather than have a verse and chorus, repeat with glitches, yeah, it probably would be 100X better. Maybe I should redo this. Or I should do my other songs first and if I feel up to it, I'll redo this one, m'kay?

[8 bit carramelldansen]

LOL

pretty good, although alot of the description you gave was copied from the wikipedia article

[One Winged Angel (Metal)]

whoo!

hearing this just after listening to some hyper techno stuff was a bit of a jolt, but I don't care, THIS IS PWN, THIS IS SPARTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!! kinda reminds me of starfox, dunno why, but it OWNS all the same

[Hall of the Mountain King--_--]

nice!

first 2 minutes I was like "this is good, but it's not the song I remember" then suddenly it was like "oh! HERE we go!" guess you wanted some originality eh?

PERVOK responds:

Yup.

[Fantasie Mystique (NG Cut)]

hmm...

starts as nice, slow, calming ambient music, a bit creepy, but not much, and then it pretty much stays that way, with enough variation to keep it interesting but never actually changing the tone of the song very much, could work for a large yet simple dungeon in a videogame, or something of that nature anyway, possibly with some water mixed in, very calm, the industrious feel it gains later on, though busier, still retains the calming, ambient feel, this song feels very deep, with the layers of complexity being added one by one

WritersBlock responds:

Yeah, the drums are just repeated throughout and the composition for the lead is really basic to add a whole new feel to the track while keeping the relatively laid back feel.
Thanks for the review, Mizox.

[+The Lycanthrope+]

whoo!

it's... interesting... not quite like anything I've heard before, it sounds like a sort of high-speed chase/fight, and the chaotic feel is... stimulating I guess you could say, I cannot compare it with other musical tracks on a 1 to 1 basis because it's so different

WritersBlock responds:

Hey, I'm glad it works on its originality basis. Thanks Mizox.

[Iron Man (Black Sabbath C]

I am so using this in my flash!

largely during the credits, but whatever, this is just too bloody awesome! I AM IRONMAN!!!!! besides, metal is supposed to sound like it's being played badly,

himenow responds:

No it's not :/
