[Forest of Illusions (ZX Remix)]

Bad Form -- Wrong Mood

Nice idea with the remix of SMW Forest of Illusions. Unfortunately, I don't like it. It loops well, sounds good, but it doesn't give the same feeling the original song did--this is too techno for the forest, and doesn't feel so mysterious.

FullMetalROXAS responds:

I wasn't so fond of this song myself, I guess I just had enough of remixing the same Sonic 2 song... Haha, well feel free to build upon it if you wish, although I don't have the RNS (Reason Project File) anymore.

[Off To War -AF-]

Nice

Nice song! I hope someone uses this in a Flash submission, it's excellent!

ArisingFlame responds:

Thank you!

[Time Dies (v2)]

Nice

Nice song! It's slow, but it's got the emotion to keep me listening. Great music, keep it up!

Black-Cloak-of-Night responds:

Thanks man

[OoT Temple of time]

Eh...

Quick review...

I don't like how you changed the lead instrument at the beginning. I preferred the first one.

I don't really have much else to say--it's a remix of a slow song and it stays that way. Mediocre song--4/10.

[D4 - Keeps on going]

Nice Intro

Random negative thoughts:

The lead is slightly too 8-bit for my taste (for this kind of song).
The claps are too preset-esque. Get new ones or effectize them.
The song is fairly monotonous.
The song fades out too slow.

Random positive thoughts:

The tune is pretty catchy.
The intro is REALLY great--if the song exploded at 25 seconds with a fast crazy cool theme, I would be lovin' it.

So, like I said. Try to not repeat the same tune over and over. The intro was excellent (I might download and cut the intro by itself so I can listen to that cool stuff =p). If you were going to improve this song, make it explode and go off to another world at 25 seconds =p

5/10, 3/5

Deefour responds:

Thanks for that =] nice of yuo to post both ends of your thoughts =]

And i might have a remake of it... :P

Thanks for download to

Didn't Vote

What program are you using? You need to read some tutorials.

The song started horribly. The beat was annoying, and claps should NOT be going at the same time as the claps--every other beat. Not to mention that the clap needs some work.

The place where the beat starts going faster doesn't work. It's all off-beat.

at :55 seconds, you actually have the beat right with the claps and stuff where they should be. Now you need a melody and some bass. Every instrument shouldn't do >> - - - - - - - --- << that beat. The only thing that should do that is the bass.

Then you need a melody--a catchy tune or something.

I couldn't bring myself to vote 0, but I can't vote any higher, so I didn't vote on it. Sorry, but this needs a ton of work.

(If you are using FL Studio by any chance, I might be able to help you a bit)

i'd just like to say... FUCK YOU!! i hate people that think they are better than me!!! i have a LD (Learning Disability) so i have trouble with things like this... no more bad reviews, OR YOU ALL CAN JUST BURN IN THE BOWLS OF HELL!!!!!!!!

[A Little Rhythm]

Alright

The intro is good--it had me hooked.

Then I realized that the "intro" was the whole song. All it did is repeat the same thing over and over for the first minute >_<

The person singing is distracting...it needs to be better blended and effectized.

The guitar thing at about halfway was okay. Then it goes back to repeating the intro.

Overall, this song needs some work--more diversity throughout the song, better effects on the singing, etc.

5/10, 2/5

r-17 responds:

Shirk, thank you for your feedback! I may have gotten a little carried away on the vocal mixing since it's the first I've ever really dabbled in it (i.e., using it as a more of an effect rather than a message). More work it shall have, likely with chord progressions and slightly more complicated rhythmic overlay.

[FC - Sensations]

Oww, my ears...

The intro is horrible. I have nothing good to say about it.

The first half was incredibly boring. It repeated pretty much the same thing over and over. The nasty sounding thing that plays three quick notes together is horrible--it gets really repetitive and annoying.

At about 2 minutes, the song sounds like it might redeem itself, but screws around until 2:43, when it gets to be not so bad.

Then as it enters the third minute, it goes back to the boring stuff again.

Overall, this song isn't very good. It is incredibly boring, repetitive, and needs some work. For one, the thing that plays the three notes together needs to be replaced or removed--it stinks.

Try listening to other Dance/Trance tracks and following their examples--it needs melodies, not repetitive things that hit three times.

Sorry for the low score, but that's all I can give this song. 1/10, 1/5.

[Solus- Dragon Dance]

LOL

I don't have anything to say except that I was laughing throughout the whole song. XD. 7/10, 4/5.

Good work on it, though. I could tell there was a good bit of work put into this.

SolusLunes responds:

Glad to hear you like it :D

Never intended it to be funny, but I suppose it may be :D

[*Violent Storm*]

Wow!

When the song started, I wasn't expecting what I got! Another amazing track by ZeRo-BaSs!

Definitely worth listening to. Multiple times. It doesn't get old as fast as many other songs can.

Calm before the storm--the intro was great. The energy that flows starting at :26 is the best part of the song. The end, likewise, was excellent.

The song was properly named. The storm gets my highest vote! Keep up the good work--you're one of the best artists on Newgrounds, and a great example to new artists like me. Thanks!
