CriticalHit's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Crossing the Threshold]

Sweet

A great song. The name would lead me to think that you would set up a huge build-up or something like that, but there weren't any thresholds crossed (IE: The energy remained rather constant throughout), which was slightly dissapointing. >_>

Still, a very solid core.

Michael425 responds:

haha, yes, I know this somewhat lacked a true climax, but I am working on that for my new songs.

Thanks for the review

[The Technomancer]

Cool

Nicely mellow. Would work great as a "prelude" song in a flash series. The static sounds every once in a while make it sound more "cinema"ish.
Takes just a tad too long to build up, though, and can get a little repetitive on its own (As in, feels like it's designed to go with a movie/some text, and something's a bit missing when it's not).

Also, I think the genre should be Trance, but that's just me.

Great work.

Maltloaf responds:

I guess it's nice to have the choice - if someone ever did use it, they'd probably chop any dead space off the start. :)

Back then I had a thing for really long intros. I remember one that ran to 12 minutes with a four minute intro, although I seem to have lost that file at some point. Probably for the best. :p

[-Orr- Four Brave Champions]

Great

Just a question: What did you make this in?

DavidOrr responds:

Cubase 4, thanks for the review!

[{Ceb} The Cosmos [DnB NG Cut]]

Awesome.

Freaking awesome in every way. Your efforts really paid off here. I could really see lyrics added to this. It's on par with most of the songs played on the radio.

Cebster responds:

hahah thanks man =}

[{ceb} Whisper In My Ear Demo]

Awesome

You've got a lot of feeling going on in this song. It's like the piano is the inside voice, and the techno sounds are the whispers. The way you bring them in is really nice.

Cebster responds:

hey good i dea. :} thanks for the reivew wow my first ten from you.

[Being God {Remaster}]

Eh...

The melody seems a bit random-notes. >_<
I really don't know what to say to this. Sorry.

Cebster responds:

[_-={Everlasting Times}=-_]

Fantastic

One of the most beautiful loops ever. The way you add the nature sounds makes the effect very complete.

MaestroRage responds:

Thank you CriticalHit! I'm glad you liked it, thanks for the review!

[Rig & Spawn - 16 Bar Assassin]

Great

The components are extremely well-done, but there are just a few nagging flaws; one, Spawn's (Fantastic) rap is kinda of quiet in comparison to the beat, but that's minor, since you included the lyrics. Second, it's kind of short, though you can consider this a roundabout positive. I wanted to hear more. ^_^

9/10, 5/5.

Rig responds:

I just turned up the vocals - give it another whirl. :D
Yeah, it IS fairly short, but this was just a spur of the moment project that we did. We never thought it'd be this popular, haha...thanks for the review!

[Sailing a Ship Into The Sun]

Great

The only thing I don't like about this song is that some of the repeating notes sound a little too artificial; perhaps make them chords instead?

I really like the rest of it; the transitions, how you fade the instruments in, and the overall feel and effect, especially how you go from being peaceful to a sort of horror-wonder effect, and then to a successful air, then blend them together.

This totally deserves Best of The Week.

5/5, 10/10.

Cebster responds:

haha thanks at first i thought i had a chance. anyways i guess it just goes to show you cant get to attached to one piece.

[Into The Sun {DEMO}]

Great

I don't know why some people down-voted this, but I have to agree that this song does indeed go very well with thought and etc...would work excellently in serious movies.

Cebster responds:

thanks man
