darkkloud's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Witching Hour]

eh. its okay. the rhythm guitar dosent really have any rhythm, its just palm muted chugga chugga chug over and over. the lead is just doing random solos over and over, not bad, but not seeming to link to the rest of the song in any way. the bass is.....non existent as far as i can tell. and the background keyboards are just a couple simple loops to make it sound like theres more than just chuga chuga solo time going on.

youve clearly got a good bit of skill. keep it up and composition will come to you before you know it.

Metaljonus responds:

Eh I heard your stuff man and I will take this all with a grain of salt lol. Thanks for listening tho!

[Ultima Eternus - Part II]

I hate you.

This is the type of music i hear in my head constantly. the entirety of this Ultima Eternus album/song/whatever. I hate you because i hear things like this, but dont have the ability to play them. Amazing job, everything is beutiful, and perfect. but fuck you -_-

Lashmush responds:

I haet u 2 lol :3

[DETH]

hmm

so how drunk were you when you did this one glen? overall it sounds pretty damn good for a "shit one", a bit to short though, and i must agree with neophyte-ronin that you need to be screaming random shit underneath it all.

GoreBastard responds:

I was probably under the influence of alcohol a little bit. I have cut down though over the last couple of years... a little... haha
I'll get to work on more vocals stuff soonz!
Cheers man!

[Disposable Breed]

as always

as always, a pleasure to hear your music. loved every part of this of course, but saddened by the fact that your voice is so low in comparison to the rest of the piece, you have amazing vocal range, and a great voice in everything ive heard from you.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Thanks very much, dude. Only thing I can figure, is if your eq setting while you listen to this is on "rock", with the mids dropped right out, that will dampen the vocals quite a bit. I mix with my eq off, usually I check on all my mediums. Sounds alright in my headphones, stereo and car. I'll have to muck around with getting them the right level on as many settings as I can. Thanks for the input dude, great to hear from you.

[Pokemon Sinnoh Pokerap (FULL)]

hmm

was this made as an attempt to mock the ever growing number of Pokemon?cause it seems that way, but for a song, i must say its annoying as hell.

sonicmega responds:

Well, I do suppose it could be seen as a testament to the fact that no one even remembers the new Pokemon anymore, but otherwise it's a completely serious submission. Just remember you aren't required to listen to it just because it's featured.

[The Darkest Hour {BMI/CM}]

Great Job

The song is amazing, every part. i can not find a single thing to down talk this, your musicianship is amazing, bmi's vocals are fucking great as always, and it all fits perfectly, i hope to here more like this from you, shit is going in the fav's list

[Are You Dead Yet? (CoB)]

not bad

the guitar and drums, are a bit to low, making the vocals stand out a little bit more, but you still did a good job on the g-tars

the vocals arent bad at all, but a little bit strange....actually being able understand them that is lol .im a big fan of bodom, but i never had any idea what alexi said in this song, so thanks there.
i might make a recomendation though, which is to lower the vocals somewhat, to make them even, or almost even, with the music itself.

KitsuMech responds:

Yes, what Alexi is saying is always curious... After hearing their Stockholm CD I realized I got some of the words wrong... Not bad though.

It was my first try at this type of vocals, which I was panicked about throwing my voice out. I didn't though, so I must be doing something right.

Lower the vocals? Will try next piece I do. Thank you for the critiquing review!

RAWR!

[Dark After(Remade)]

amazing as always

i liked the acoustic part, but then the riff kicked in, and i started loving it, and then your first lil solo kicked in, and i started head bangin, then the song just kept rocking more and more, man you are always amazing at this...why you gotta be better then me?

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Holy fuck man, I'm sorry for the late response. I never check the older shit for reviews, then this popped up again.
Really glad you like it man. This is definitely one of my favorites, although...I can't claim responsibility for those fantastic leads. Those were done by FlameMesial of NG here.

Thanks for the support as always.

[The Hard Road Ahead]

wow

i had to review this

i love it, is that a slayer guitar effect your using, or a real guitar?also, are you using a real bass here, or a synthetic bass, cause if its a sound font, hook me up with it, it sounds extremely real.

DoobyTimePiece responds:

guitar fake, bass real, the bass is just sampled out,

[Beer Basted Oranges]

hmmmm

i love the music in the background, but the rapping is not personaly my taste.

the begining verses, before it goes to the first montonic rant is very bad with the flow and the vocalization itself leaves alot to be bad.

i got alot of laughs from the monotonic rants.

the second tonal verse came in, and made me realize that it sounds alot like juggalo rappers, who i hate.

then the monotone came back and i was amused once again, as well as i like the fade out.

all in all, 4/5, good job but it does need some work.

Scribbler responds:

Thanks for the constructive criticism, I will take everything you said into consideration for my future tracks.
