speedmetalmessiah's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[-Broken-]

Hahaha

I missed so many damn songs while I was moving now I have a shitload of tunes to review.

The song was probably your best from the sappy rock tunes you've submitted. I have nothing better to do at the moment so I'm going to do a bit of nitpicking. The closed hi-hat in the beginning was just a bit too loud I thought. Your vocals were great but just a little quiet and a bit distant at times. With some tweaking to the mixing this could sound a bigger.

Guitar was great the clean and distorted riffs fit the song well. The solo was good you are getting better. All around I liked it a lot.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

haha, thanks man. I did turn down the closed hi-hat for the beginning, but then couln't hear it throughout the rest of the song. I'm not real happy how the build up on the drums sounded just before the chorus either. Sounds too "fake" to me. But every song is a learning experience. I appreciate the awesome reviews, too. Nothing but aggression left, so I leave this sappy song in the dust. Thanks again, man!\m/

[Forged in Hell(LOOP)]

Cool shit

I liked the riffs a lot. The drums could use a some tweaking but nothing to drastic. The guitar was a bit bassy you could turn that down a bit to give more clarity though it was still nice and clear. Overall it was a cool loop.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Yeah, I liked the riffs alot too. I want to expand this tune..but..I wanna get some production issues cleared up first. Plus, I wanna find a bit cleaner distortion so the picking of the riffs are slightly more audible. It seems when I export the drum track as a wave rather than mp3 out of beatcraft, it picks up distortion. If I use the samples in FL, then the export is clean. Then the mixing in cool edit, will sound great...as long as it is played in the cool edit player. I don't know man. Maybe I need a different recording and mixing program. Or tweak with the settings and put out a few more test tunes, but write down every step I took, instead of trying to remember them. Anyways, sorry for babbling. Thanks for the review.\m/

[dd2 - shadow master]

Nice

I'm guessing it's from a videogame but I don't recognize it if it is. Maybe it's because I just woke up...who knows. Anyway if you wrote it great job very catchy and overall had a good feel throughout the song. Whether it's a cover or an original kickass tune man.

mhb responds:

thanks! yeah it's from double dragon 2 at the end when you fight the shadow master. i'm glad you like it.

[to be with you cover]

Hahahahaha

For a second I thought you were taking a more serious approach to this tune. Thank god you didn't. I still can't believe Paul Gilbert and Billy Sheehan were part of this song. Anyway I got a kick out of it so you get a decent score.

mhb responds:

lol. yeah dude it's a pretty bad tune so i just tried to make it fun. thanks for the score man.

[Leatherface]

Awesome

Sorry I took so long to review this but I'm really lazy. You rhythm playing is great very tight and clear. The drums fit really well and must have taken a while to program in beatcraft. The only thing I would suggest is a solo. Oh yeah and I liked the samples you used too.

pitchblak responds:

yeah,it takes a while programming beats into beatcraft.glad you Dig the song.Thanx for the review!

[Caged (Loop)?]

Nice

The riffs kicked ass man. The drums were good but you should have had the bassdrum doing a bit more like in the beginning have it to some 16th note triplets. Anyway man cool loop even though it seemed more like a short song that you cut right when it was getting good hahaha.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Thanks man..it was getting late, so I did cut it short. WHen I truly looped it I had the song just play twice...and threw the beginning on the end. It was kind of effortless and boring...so I may spend a little more time on this on...thanks again speedy!\m/

[Dark Saga Cover song]

Nice

Thanks again for putting vocals on this man.

Rickbass21 responds:

No problem speedmetal. You should put this song on your page as well. afterall you did play the music.

[KoT - Lord of Storm and War]

Woah...

The percussion is fucking awesome in this song. You and Maestro worked really well together on this track. Everything just sounds so damn good even the bell kicks ass haha. I loved the harp it really had a great sound to it and added a nice touch to the song. Everything sounds so powerful in this that it just makes for an amazing song man. Great job to the both of you I hope to see you guys do more collabs. in the future.

Oh and yeah I do have MSN messenger. Is it your Yahoo mail account that you're signed up under?

Slayer-of-trolls responds:

Glad you like it. I spend alot of time just on the drums to get them to sound just right.
