AlmightyZenTaco's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Building the days away]

I'm playing Minecraft right now.

This isn't shabby.

Needs more measures of music. Add a part B, buld to a climax, resolve, and this'll be great.

Good start though.

[QE2 - Quantitative Easing 2]

Good.

The song made me very tense.

But I don't think it had enough movement to justify 16 minutes of playtime.

Tealc-Bratac responds:

Thanks for the review!! Very much appreciated!! I'm glad you listened to it, and gave me a good review!! You rock!!

[Sunshine Through The SnowStorm]

Interesting.

Unusual choice for ambient noises, but it worked out alright.

It was at it's best when the guitar chimed in, and resolving the climax with a nice deeper guitar tone was very satisfying.

Good work.

Jonah-B responds:

Thank you

[RememberThatGIRLWeSaved]

I want to like this.

The sound quality is very nice, and the melody is pretty good, up to a point.

The main trouble with the song is a lack of cadence. You make the listener wait too long to hear you resolve back to the tonic.

Instead of a calming affect - which the sound of the instrument was betraying - I found myself gritting my teeth.

KNIGHTMAREcomics responds:

I don't think the lack of Cadence is a problem but the song lacks another dimension which seems to slow the progression.. it either needs another guitar part and more instruments and/or a riff that pops up now and again.
I will get to work on it soon.

[Demo - Critics Wanted]

This is absolutely horrible.

And by horrible I mean pretty good.

My only complaint is there's a part there where you sort of mess the timing for a second. Sounds like your finger slightly missed the string or something.

Not sure what the first critic is talking about at 0:08 though. Sounds good.

[Dope-Step (TimmyDope)]

Not bad.

Nice beat and interesting ambient sounds.

the Timmy Dope repeat was annoying though.

[[DJP] 000071]

I'm a fan.

Of your work.
Keep it up.

I liked the arrangement, but not so much on the voice choices.
Still very good.

Have you studied musical theory?

DJPureSuffer responds:

Never studies musical theory :( kinda wanted to but sucked at reading sheet music XD violin for 9 years tho :D

[[DJP] Piano solo 4]

Vergy good.

Didn't really sound like a complete song, so points off for that.

But excellent composition. You are a very skilled musician.
If you aren't making money doing this, find a way to.

DJPureSuffer responds:

If i could make money off of this, that'd be pretty epic XD i just threw this together real quick in like 15 minutes, so its definitely not a complete song.

[[DJP] Space Indians]

Bad ass.

I love chiptunes, and this had a very chiptunes sound.

Also, the melody is excellent, which is what makes this whole song.
Would have liked it a little longer though, with perhaps some cooloff time after the climax.

But it was excellent anyway.

DJPureSuffer responds:

Thanks man! :D

[Serene Destiny]

Quality work.

Very good all around!

Nice arrangement, nice melody, harmony, and it's varied enough to keep my interest the whole way through.

I especially like when you bring the strings in. They sound good with the orchestra drums.

It could be improved by adding a part B though, to break up the monotony of the underlying pattern. But the arrangement is so interesting it's not that big of a deal.

Excelent work.

Clerkius responds:

I don't compose on a regular basis; so your critique's greatly appreciated. I am glad you enjoyed listening to it as much as I do with satisfaction of the completed product. =]
