[As I Bleed (Demo)]

Awesome

The sound quality makes me happy. It really sounds great. Your playing was fantastic and I really liked how melodic it was. I'm not too great with playing some of the more melodic riffs. The drums were perfect I don't really have any complaints with them.

The vocals sounded sweet but it's not really a vocal style I'd say is a favorite. Though I will say you can really sing. I don't know if I can really give any tips on the vocals except maybe a bit more reverb? Anyway man for a demo this sounds amazing. I can't wait to hear a finished version.

I'm not sure if I've asked this before but how do you record and what gear do you use?

[Possession]

Not bad

The tune was pretty sweet. The guitar's weren't the best quality but they sounded good. The drums drums were pretty sweet. The actualy playing was kickass though it sounded like you were having trouble with the rhythm at parts. The lyrics were awesome and you did a pretty damn good job of singing them. If you could hit some higher notes they would have been perfect I think. Like do some King Diamond style vocals. Well anyway I liked the tune a lot keep it up man.

Extar responds:

Thanks for the review! Indeed, the guitars were pretty untidy in places though I wrote and recorded the song all in about two hours so I didn't give myself much time to get to grips with the tempo.
I was most concerned with getting something really fast so I didn't worry too much about precision. Really pleased you liked the vocals as I've never tried singing that fast or aggressively before.
If I could sing stuff like King Diamond, I would be very happy indeed! :D

[HRC - heavy friggin riff!]

Nice riff

Looks like I missed reviewing this one. The riff was nice and heavy with the the drums going along nicely. That phaser was it? Was a bit too much though I think. Maybe back off on it a bit and it'd fit perfectly. Though it didn't sound bad. Well anyway cool tune.

DarKsidE555 responds:

Right with the phaser. May was a bit too much. Well, whatever. Second place in ur face. :D

Thanks speedy! \m/

[Rucklo - Tankdick Skratched]

Hahahahaha

This is too damn good man. You really used the samples well. Nice beat and just in general it's hilarious. Sorry for the short shitty review.

Rucklo responds:

Thanx for the short and shitty review ;)
<3

[Descending]

Hmm

It wasn't too bad. The drums were a little boring I think they could have picked up the pace a lot. The bass sounded decent but was a bit hard to hear sometimes but that just might be because of my speakers. Overall it was pretty cool but could use some work to make it really good.

Qwertyuiopasd responds:

yeah, this is the version with bad drums... I peroidically go back to my old and pretty good songs to er-do them, and percussionistic was done basically to fammiliarize myself with some percussion things, since up to a point I had only been using the plainest default Kick, Snare, Clap, and hihat... XD

the problem is the really good versions I end up making of this song are too long or big for NG :'(

thanks for the review.

~Qwerty

[Percussionistic]

Not bad

It sounded pretty cool man. The rhythm was great but it got really repetitive. I did like the snare you were using too. Overall it wasn't bad but could use some more diversity.

Qwertyuiopasd responds:

Thanks for the review man! it's not very diverse 'cause I just basically put some random beat things together, while keeping it sounding good, and then built them up, and once I had everytyhing going I eliminated random parts... probably could've done something more melodic with this, and I still might...

and I was using like, every snare in FL....

[Lucy is Dead]

Nice

Not bad at all. There is some clipping in it. You should try mixing it a little more quietly and not normalize it then throw on a multi-band compressor. The riffs were kick ass and the drum programming was great. Nice little jam you through together man.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Thanks man. Now that I've listened to it on here...its sounds like shit. I'll have to let you and dark teach me the ways...cause im pretty sure it didn't sound like this in Cubase. haha. Oh well, just a jam. I'll figure shit out eventually. I might make a 100 of these little tunes in the meantime.

Thanks for checkin it out, man...I'll let you take over my comp next time, and show me. I learn better by watching, than following directions...hahaha

Thanks again \m/

[Crushing Impact of 1,000 Tons]

Fuck yeah

How the hell do you make one riff sound so good. It doesn't get boring. I hope you get around to finishing this one man it would be really badass.

[Rucklo - Distress Call]

Kickass

This is the first time I've heard somebody actually skratching on NG. The beat was great gave the song a nice flow to it. I really liked the kick. The synth sounded pretty sweet and fit the song well. Overall a really great track man.

Oh and that chick from Alias you're talking about do you mean Jennifer Garner?

Rucklo responds:

Yeah not so many actually use skratching... kinda surpirise me, but after all, NG AP is more electro-techno-FL stuff :)

And yeah, that´s the girl! Jennifer Garner. hawt!

Thanx for the review mate!

[++Cryptic Divinity++ ~Part 2~]

Great

It's about time I got off my lazy as to review this one. I think I already voted and downloaded it but I forgot to review. I didn't think the intro was too long then again I've always loved listening to clean section's. When the distortion kicks in it really get's awesome. Your rhythm playing is as good as ever and you've gotten even better with your soloing it sounds like. I liked your transition's between the heavy and clean section's.

In the end all I can really say is awesome riff's and awesome solo's. Keep it up man.

rocker206 responds:

Hey man! Yeah I personally didn't find the intro to be too long but I guess everyone has their own oppinion. Anyway Thanks for the awesome review! Glad u liked the song man.
