XeroJoy's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mystic]

Good for a sunny day when you want to be chill and calm in a peaceful area.

Great song, my only advice would be to change it up a little bit towards the end, raise the intensity on the background such as the choir at 2:40, the song seems to have less meaning without some kind of change during the middle.

In my opinion, yes, you did have a change, but it was too subtle. Overall great song, keep up the good work

Thank you for taking time to listen.

[SWeissen P - Addicted]

I love how it goes from epic to insane, and the whole song isn't just some build up. its cool because it actually does reflect the title, (constant struggle etc...). anyway, keep up the good work!

[Colossal Assault]

Great song, very cinematic, It sounds as if it should be in a movie! I like how the tempo changes towards the end and becomes more upbeat (with the adventurous theme in there as well)

Furthermore, I like how you mixed in the wind section with the strings, it works very well. The only improvement I would recommend is to make it slightly more intense by either changing the dominance of the base track from the choir to possibly a baritone or a bass guitar (the baritone would likely be better). It's a great song, you have a new person who added you to their favorites

Also, how do u make your songs, Do you use a program only, or do you have an actual band at your disposal?

Mattashi responds:

Thank you XeroJoy!
With baritone do you mean like a baritone horn?
I wish I had an actual band (that would be awesome! xD) but I used samples from EWQL ; Symphonic Orchestra, Goliath and Storm Drum 2.

[Lair of the Crimson Death]

Not my favorite,

Overall it was great, however I expected more OOMPH from the choir (baseline) and a kind of dub step feeling in there* where the strings are just a little bit more edgy and clear. This would probably create a more defined melody, and then with the base in the background adding the power, complete awesomeness.

4.5 because it got kind of cluttered towards the end, however it was still pretty epic

*I am NOT asking you to make dub step

[Sunshaft - Hate Machine]

Ryder Revenge was more hateful than this,

(make more like it please)

[Champion Encounter]

Ace combat 3

Sounded like that soundtrack in the background. I just wish that there was orchestral strings in the background instead of the flute, otherwise that was awesome.

[Maybe one Guitar day]

Really good song, reminded me of the Ace-Combat series,

Really wish it went into something more hardcore though, I mean it got epic, but when I think of the format for wordless songs, I think of the most slow/interestingly-grab-your-attentio n part, and then it goes into something awesome (sometimes dubstep) where the guitar for example would get louder, it would loose it's trance-like feeling, and continue to get more and more epic, on top of the intense-ness thats been building up, then make it more quiet, and sort of return to the first part where it's slower, and less upbeat, but still different. And from there make it more and more epic, awesome, fast-paced, hardcore, intense etc... until the end, where you just let that guitar chord go till it fades out

Thats what I expected, It was still completely awesome tho, so here is a 5.

[Cup of Nostalgia]

Pretty good,

Just kind of repetitive towards the middle, also I wish there was some kind of solid climax, overall, you did stick with the nostalgia/up in the clouds feel, and since I'm guessing that's what you were going for,

so overall, great song, just wish that somewhere towards the middle, it solidified, made some kind of solid sound (EX: electric guitar, increase in volume on some aspect, etc...) and then went back to the cloudy theme of the song. overall I liked it

[Ghosts of Asgard]

Great, but...

the thing where there's the patting/ beat and stuff, it's too off beat, other than that, nice tune, awesome
