Urukhai

"Kickass riffs."

submission: Urukhai
date: July 23, 2008

I really like the main riff with the triplet harmony. Sounds brutal :P

About the mix, I think the crashes were abit too quiet. And you hardly used any crashes even though normally you use them at the beginning of a part :P And the lead guitar in the end was a bit too loud. But other than that, awesome.

10/10 and a five ( 4.53 / 5.00 (+ 0.060) ).

Wind Harmony

"I like this one."

submission: Wind Harmony
date: July 23, 2008

However, removing the pad in the outro does kill the mood and continuity. And better to have less of the snare offbeat, it distracts from the feeling a bit. Someone has already gave you these two advices though :P

A nice, chilling beat. Would fit for quite many things. I like the melody quite alot.

Great work. 9/10 and a five ( 4.32 / 5.00 (+ 0.020) ).

Requiem (Preview)

"Very nice."

submission: Requiem (Preview)
date: July 22, 2008

I like how the lead and riffs go together. You should maybe check on EQing some of the middle off from the riff guitars (a golden advice that was given to me when I uploaded a certain song here). Makes it sound less muffled and sorts. Other than that, I like the mix. Better to finish this off :P

10/10 and a five ( 4.50 / 5.00 (+ 0.037) ).

Mega Man X4 | Double

"Very nice."

date: July 22, 2008

The real guitar riffs definitely make it much better than the original theme. I have some minor quibbles with some of the electronic beats, but that doesn't matter much, since I am still giving you a five and 9/10 :D

Keep it up.

Author's Response:

It would be cool none the less if you had pointed it out. It's not like I and Zero-Resurrected want to get better too. ;)

Anyways, glad you took the time to review me back. Thanks as well for the 5! :D

**\ The Sleep Pt II /**

"Pretty fucking nice instrumental."

date: July 21, 2008

Don't have much to say, actually. It's like, it's fucking awesome, and it leaves me with nothing to say :P

There's some really, really minor quibbles with the mixing in my opinion. So minor that those could be taken as artistic choices than minor mistakes. However, you should have panned the riff guitars to the two channels to have it as stereo. That way it would have sounded more filled, and still would have left enough space for the leads to play in the middle.

It's awesome, and one of the few songs that I have favourited over here in the Audio Portal. Keep it up.

July 21, 2008

Author's Response:

Thanks for the review man !

All the rhythm guitars are panned to the two channels, in fact. Listen the song with a headphone, you will notice it.

Thanks a lot for faving the preview and the whole song !
Keep on rocking \m/

Path Onward To Oblivion

"Sweet."

date: July 17, 2008

Your compositions are fucking awesome man. I had missed this, and I'm ashamed of that :P

I could crit you for the sound details, but I'm too fucking lazy with that, and you did it 3 years ago. So let me just say that the whole thing just fucking owns. Period.

Five'o and a ten. Stay metal.

Author's Response:

Thanks man but I don't have the dooms day orchestra behind me like you do ;D You are the one that's fucking awesome :) Next time please crit me with the sound details :) Cheers.

I'm a retarded man

"Short but sweet."

submission: I'm a retarded man
date: July 17, 2008

The soloing was plain tasty. Couldn't hear much of the riff, and the riffs could be stereo panned to the sides. Gives more space for the leads in the middle.

Does the name have a connection with the composition itself somehow? :P

July 18, 2008

Author's Response:

Haha, no. I names it "I'm retarded man" because I wasn't very inspired lmao. Plus, I don't care of this account, so FUCK THE TITLES ! lol. Check out my real account, I have good music there ^^.

btw, thanks for the very Helpful review, I will take account of what you suggested about the mixing.

Zelda Song of Storms Remix

"Very nice."

date: July 17, 2008

I like how much this sounds like Ensiferum and such :P The guitar leads were pretty awesome. The piano thing at the beginning kinda sounded out-of-place to me (like, they do not belong there), but it doesn't bother much.

Although the mixing's pretty good, when getting to nitpicking, I think you should have brought up the riff guitars a notch in volume.

Props to you. I really liked the style.

July 19, 2008

Author's Response:

No idea who Ensiferum is! Guessing its someone off of Newgrounds aswell? I did this on a whim then someone told me to throw it up on here!

Yeah Piano is just there to set the mood give it some lead in really. Can't fault you on your nitpick of the mix, you're spot on, like I've mentioned a few times before this was a really quick job, done on cans at about 4am one evening haha.

Thanks for the comment though, glad you enjoyed!
