Anima-Theory's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Memories of Melodies (demo)]

Wow, this is nice.....

Wow, this is nice.

Well done, this song really moves me.

There is nothing I can pick apart with this, maybe needs to be longer though. Just so you can feel the song for longer.

Well well done :D

KTRECORDS responds:

Right now I have the song clocked at around 2:30. This song is just a quick demo of it. Keep your eyes and ears peeled for the album hopefully to be released on the newgrounds store!

[Laser beam]

Could be a lot better

The vocals are a little annoying, especially the high pitch one. The laser beam part could be done a little better as well. There isn't a lot of structure to this song either. The ending talking thing is pretty average as well.

Could be a lot better.

Hunter2091 responds:

hey thanks for the review! i will definitely take that into consideration in my upcoming projects. I noticed the high pitches were more high pitched than i though when i took out my head phones after upload, ill try to revise it later on! thanks again

[God is Hard]

I find the opening a little annoying....

I find the opening a little annoying but the tune sounds awesome from 1:16. The stuttering sounds really good, and the pluck instrument sounds cool as well.

I don't like the kick either, but that's my tastes

Either way, you have a written a very good song.

Well done,

Anima

Cutting-Christ responds:

Thankya.

[KTR: Chillin' in da club]

Well done :D

I thought this song was going to be crap because the name sound's like RnB. But I was wrong. This is great :D

I love Jazz and you have pulled this off fantastically.

Well done :D

epic

Pretty good tune. Sucks that you lost this file, you could have made it so epic. The only thing I dislike with it is the drums are too quiet. Other than that great track :D

Anima

TiiBag responds:

Thanks for the review :D
I'm not very big on making songs twice (or anything twice that I ever lost really >_>) but maybe one day when my skills are a bit more advanced I'll revisit this =p

[Hominid [Box-Killa]]

I hate writting in here >:(

Now on to the review :D

I don't mean to sound mean, but this sound sounds a little clumsy or something. Like to genre's tripping over each other. It's hard to explain. The drums could be a little better, as in the samples don't sound to realistic. The Techno parts are well done though. The guitar solo sounds like it stuck on...it doesn't meld with the music or something. Maybe a little reverb would fix that.

Needs a little improving in my opinion, but other than that a great track my friend :D

Box-Killa responds:

I understand what u mean, all the notes fit, i think maybe it is like too fast or something. Maybe i can go back and see if the beat is all in the right beat/tempo/place, if u know what i mean. Yeah you cant deny it, it is a kick ass song, specialy ay :30. Anyway, thx for the critic... peacout :D

[That Fuging Icehole!]

This song has odd structure to it...

The opening sounded cool. The drums are way to quiet, especially the kick. The title of the song is pretty crap, but that doesn't really mean a whole lot.

This song has odd structure to it....not bad, just interesting and different, and in all honesty it wasn't really a song. Just....short music.

Overall though not too bad.

adompeace responds:

1) "Title is crap:" This is a fugue so the title is simply a play on words. I think it's funny and I don't regret calling it that.

2) "The drums are too quiet:" In my opinion, the drums are fine. In fact, I think the drums sometimes overshadows the synths. Especially in the part where it modulates to major (00:42-01:02).

3) "Odd structure/wasn't a song/too short:" Again, it's called a fugue. It's obvious to me from this review that you've never heard of a fugue. It's a classical structure that was quite prominent among composers in the Baroque era like J.S. Bach. It's a piece for three or more voices and apparently one of the hardest kinds of music to compose. In fact, the structure of the fugue is so complex, some composers spend their lives studying the composition of the fugue. My piece is only the bare minimum of a what a fugue consists of. It's really short because I'm not Bach and I can't handle composing three independent, simultaneous melodies that last for three or four minutes yet... I like what I did with this one because it's powerful and it's short and sweet.

If you want an example of a fugue, Bach's Art of the Fugue is the best place to start.

[driver (midnight mix)]

Nice fusion :D

It's not too bad.

Though, when I think DnB, I think epic drums, and epic bass line. What you've written in good, but not epic enough. The snare isn't "in yo face" as it should be, and the bass line need to be heavier, deeper and louder.

Saying this you did say it was a fusion between 2 genre's, so I guess the drums should be very predominant. You did fuse those two dance elements nicely though.

The tune and general song construction is good though.

Overall, a great track.

Hope to hear more from you :D

[-Sonar-]

This song reminds me of FF Crisis core...

This song reminds me of FF Crisis core for some reason.

It's very good, though the percussion could maybe be a little more complex, but I like that sorta stuff in music. Really sharp sounding snares. Also, maybe the kick sample could be a bit better.

Overall a good job my friend :D

Well done

Anima

ChrisisD responds:

Thanks! Hmm... I worked quite some time on the kick and the snare :) I chose purposely to make the kick really electronic.... As for the complexiation of the drums... you're right... its maybe a little bit too simple...
Glad you like it! Thanks for the review!
Greets, Chris
