Godknown's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Last Known World]

5/5

This work of art is superb! I love how you mixed all the elements together. The drumbeat is really chilled and not in your face, however that moogish synth kind of is. Also, the melody in this is pretty kick-ass. I like how many different instruments were used, which made it sound really full. My favorite part was probably in the beginning when you had multiple electronic sound effects being used. My second favorite now, come to think of it, is right about when it hits new key chords at the second minute. The ending acid synth is pretty awesome too, and then those random robotic noises. Overall, you kept it pretty different, and well-listenable. Keep up the excellent work! Take care.

3/5

I'm not going to tell you out loud what you did wrong, because that would be mean of me to do something I know would discourage a young artist. Really, nothing can be wrong, but there are things you could do better. First of all, this piece resembles a lot of playing I knew myself to do, and that was before I knew how to do better improvising. It'll sound good for a while, but it isn't quite a song. Its more like a new-age style of playing. Not quite random, I can see a pattern here, but the notes are still somewhat erratic. Second, the beat in the background is pretty good, though isn't matched up quite how it could be. Its also very soft, and the piano kind of shutters it out. But that's about it. You did good for trying something new. It personally isn't my taste, but that's just me. I'm sure others would think differently. I hope my review is helpful, at the least. Please don't be offended, and keep up the playing! You're getting there!

Well,yes...it really isn't that random,since I used a kind of tune I made out a LOOOOONG ago.I just add a LOT of improvisation to it,so I can re-use the real tune later on if I feel like it :P
The beat is supossed to be really quiet there.I didn'r really want it to sound louder than the piano or anything,I wanted it to be quiet and be only there so the piano is not alone (lol).
I really want to make another song like this one...without all the improvisation,lol.

Well,your reviews was helpfull.Thanks!

[God$peed - Kill them all]

5/5

You have a great talent for making fast yet calm drumloops. Also, I haven't played the game Detective Grimoire, but apparently people did enjoy your song in it. I love your music GodSpeed. Keep coming out with more, please!

[Dubstep Loop]

4/5

Another quick review. I underestimated you just a little, but not too much, because you were already a good composer. This has a little old fashioned acid in it, which I liked. Its a very good walk-through loop, like Valve's Half-Life does it, or Epic Games' Unreal Tournament 2007. Ha ha. Keep up the damn good work, my friend!

Jimbobsthebest responds:

Thanks for the review Godknown... I hope you didn't take the linkin park song too seriously. This is just a loop I made for flashers so theres not much in it but I thought it may be useful for game menus or something.

Thank you for the review man, James

[God$peed - False Reality]

5/5

I give you my utter respect. You are an excellent composer, and one of the best I've heard here on newgrounds. This song was very emotionally powerful in the beginning, and then it drove on to become even more powerful with its throttling bass, quick attack strings, drums, and guitar. The guitar is my only gripe with this song, other than the sometimes fake sounding brass as it reached its peak velocity or style of play. Anyways, I love the melody in this song, and can't wait for anymore to come out from you. As a fellow God* user, I hear you, and feel you. Keep up the awesome work, man!

GodSpeedIam responds:

Thanks. I agree about the guitar though. There are NO good guitar VSTs out there but I really wanted a guitar so I bit the bullet and used what I had.

4/5

That is really cool sounding, for an industrial song. I like that you still had a faint melody in the midst of all that racket. I was pleased to hear so many different samples at once. The smashing and clanging was ideal. Thank you for your submission! Keep it up, man!

2/5

For a classical song, its just a little to unclassical. It sounds more like an RPG town element that you would hear in most RPG games. It sounds more robotic than realistic, which it sounds you like you were trying to make it sound that way. It isn't horrible, but I just think it was a bad choice to put it in the classical genre. However, keep up the good work, none the less! Good job!

Liau responds:

:P ya, youre prolly right, but NG has such a limmited category selection that I just dumped it in the closest one I could think of at the time... especially since I rarely make music like this ^^

[something weird]

4/5

This is a nice, short, and sweet sounding song. I love the intensity of those bongos you've got going on, and then when you added the mallet instrument in the background. After the hi-hats entered, I was very happy with it. So sad that it had to end so short and without melody. Make it into a song, not just a motif! Keep up the good work! =]

3/5

Awesome miscellaneous noises used! It has a Ghost In The Shell kind of feeling, or a gadget game feeling. The strings are a bit annoying though, and you could build a better melody. At least in one point of your song, make a bridge where your strings at least stray from their unchanging chorus. Overall, it sounds pretty good, but should absolutely be improved. I do not doubt your skills. You did a great job, so keep it up!
