my-garbage's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Skywards]

Hmm not sure about this one

It sounds almost identical to some Christian song I listened too. Just maybe different instruments but the exact same beat. Oh well. You probably made this all but the originality is way down. I like the beat so I'll give you a decent review score.

PianoFortress responds:

hhhmmh too bad I don't listen to that kind of music....

[[MS] - Stepping Stoned]

Logo name same

I think music-story has the exact same logo. MS I'm talking about. This song is different so here it is:

1)The beginning sounded like ethnic instruments. Lots of them. I like uniqueness.
2) That fuzziness is bad. You need to fix up the clarity unless that was done on purpose.
3)Yah. Decent amounts of diversity. Like those atmospheric drums in the background.

Not much more to say. Some odd stoppages in the song but I didn't like that uber distorted part. That hurt my ears. Here is your 8 stars. See yah.

MackerelSalad responds:

For your information, music-story indeed has the same logo. =]
I like the stuff i used for this, it's all experiments really, for example, i used foley footstep samples for the percussion thing.
I can't master, I'm shitty at it. I'm trying but i still can't.
thanks for the review

[Our Moment]

This sounds familiar

I like the happy feeling from this song. It however reminds me of music that my sister played in piano lessons. I'm sure you made this from 100% scratch, but I think you were influenced by another musician correct? It's very difficult to come up with something entirely original since so many historic classical musicians yet I'm happy to hear something close to it. After watching "Composer" the flash vid I kind of like classicals more. Keep making them. See yah.

Winterwind-NS responds:

This piece was slightly influenced by Gershwin's "Love Walked In"
but also by a million other piano pieces deep within my noggin.
I'm not a particular fan of the animation, but it warms my heart to hear that it sparked peoples interest in the genre, even though it just barely touched the idea of a real composer's anguish.
thanks for the review!

[Let Me Take You (UnF)]

Before you finish take my advice.

How long is the final version going to be? So I will list the good and bad I hear so far.

1) Some nice delay on that lead sound. I'm talking about that 1st sound at the very beginning of the song. Keep that in effect.

2) The intro drums honestly suck. It ruins the whole mood and makes me just want to stop listening to the song. Change them.

3) 33 seconds the song gets better however! now that you got two sounds going at once you must make sure they are in unison. So you got the higher pitch (I will call it "A") sound and a lower pitch sound (I will call it "B" ). Careful listening and you can sense the unison is not there. Solution: Lower the attack time of sound B a little bit so the sound aligns with sound A.

4) Song works well at climax. Bass makes everything sound better.

I think you should just trash the first 33 seconds of the song and start the song at 33 seconds on. Your decision to take my advice or not. A respectful 8 stars.

DJ-Infinity responds:

Thnx for an honest review. Its not as often as id like that people put that much effort into saying all of how they feel about a tune. Finished verion should be done by hopefully a little past next month, but with college work and all that, I never can tell.

Responce to good and bad:
1) I'm glad you like that and i will incorperate another kind of delay effect further in the song

2) Now that you mention it, I could change the intro and make it a whole lot better. Im thinkin drum n bass intro =) Or maybe ill just make it really exciting from the start, builing it up to the euphoria... or both =D

3) I will work on the pitches of the synths and bass somehow. Not sure how but ill see when I get to it. Perhaps will do as you suggest.

4) You're right! And i will put that kinda "chorus" in twice to make this more like a full song.

About getting rid of the first 33 seconds; I may just try and make everything sound better then get rid of it, as starting from the euphoria would just sound a bit wrong... I dunno, I'll see how it turns out.

This song only took me about 12 hours to make (in total) so Id say that 8/10 is EXTREMELY generous, especially as this is only a demo sorta tune.

Anyway, thanks for listening and reviewing. Ill try my best not to dissapoint with my next tune =P but hey, not everyone can like a song, no matter what genre they like. Thnx agen =)

[>>Waiting To Die<<]

Good stuff

I like this beat. Decent vox. Need to work on your vocals. Brought the song down.

1) Fix the vox. I can barely hear it too since it background sounds are overpowering.
2)Like the good beat with the stringy guitars.
3)Length of song is a bit too long.
4) Suprisingly not that much vox in this song. Not sure if a good or bad thing. Weird though.

Can you tell me the lyrics sung here. I can't hear some of the vox. A respected 9 stars. See yah.

Gunshy responds:

yeah, at the last min i turned up the guitars. it does overpower the vox a little, but then again i hate it when the vocals are the loudest aspect of the song. guitars should be loud as hell. thnx

[[Explosion g-R]]

Good to an extent

Your ideas are good, but unoriginal. Good to chill to. Problems are:
1) as you said highly repeating stuff
2) unoriginal beats thus decreasing difficulty to make factor
3) happy bass? tends to be overpowering everything
4) your songs tend to start good than drag on near the end. Try a song that completely exciting from start to finish. Feels like you rush the last minute or so of all your song all the time.

Good and respectful 8 stars.

g-r4ve responds:

i appreciate the review man... but nothing u said i didnt already know ;p

[.pot roast.]

It is a deal

Weird song title for a weird song. I actually thought at 28 seconds in that I was at a basketball game listening to sneakers slide across the floor. Weird fx sounds and mysterious. I agree with Katsuo. What he/she didn't say is that the song loops with only the fx changing. It gets boring quickly. For a scary scene it could work. Not a 1:54 long scene though. Only like 30-40 seconds and the scene would finish. You get me? A respectful 8 stars. Enjoy reason! See yah.

VegetarianMeat responds:

I agree, the song in it's entirety wouldn't really work with a flash. Thank you for the review :)

[my little hole]

sucks

I noticed like all your songs got a lot of downloads and votes but barely any reviews. You ain't fooling anyone! Now stop downloading your own songs or getting your online buddies to repeatedly download your songs. Also stop voting 5 for your song. I've heard way better ambiance and you don't deserve to be way up on the top 50 list. See yah.

snayk responds:

Hello, fucking idiot.

[Summer Funz]

Say maybe

I see you review a lot of music-story work so I chose to review your song. I'm not as nice as Music-story in his reviews. He gives everyone a 5 vote and like a 9 or 10 star. He is easily pleased. XD Now my review. Song is happy like you said. Lacks ingenuity or originality. That annoying sound that just blares out hurts my ears. Piano riff means you didn't make it right? Lots of kick drums. Maybe too much cause repetitive. 8 stars. Your better than me. No surprise. I suck in music. My reviews are based on the best tunes on NG and I compare them to other people song. Your not quite up there. See yah.

Trunks responds:

Yeah that blare was kinda evil to me, didn't really mean that there... but no, I wrote the piano lol

I tried to make it really repetitive to get you in that happy trance, hence i put it in the Trance section.

Thanks for the review

['Twilight']

Umm no

Way too plain stuff. Okay yeah better than my stuff. Every song on NG is better than my one song. I'm not here to give scores in relation to my songs. My scores relate to the best music I heard on NG. This is so boring. Sorry but frankly it is true. I agree with capncrunch. Why is this song so high scored and not many reviews? Are you voting and downloading your own song. People aren't going to like your stuff more if you fake your score. 4 stars plain and simple. Your song don't deserve a better score than zero bass stuff. I try to be honest as much as it hurts. See yah.

tobycreed responds:

No need to apologize, I thank you for being honest. This song was foremost a melody experiment for me and I never completely understood its score, and truth be told I can't stand this song anymore. I take no offence to your review because i agree with you 100%.
