Chris-V2's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Faster Than Light]

Really good playing, man!

It's very good but I'd tighten up the low end on the rhythm track, it's taking away from the tightness of the chugs. Maybe just a touch of a HPF, you'll be surprised how much of a difference it makes.

Automate them, maybe, so that when the new guitars come in that they're given room to breathe, this can mean EQ'ing some guitars to that they're only using the range they need. So when a slightly higher part comes in you tuck away those frequencies on one guitar so the other can use them properly. Sort of like the way you can take up an entire 4 seater couch by yourself but you can fit alot more people if you just designate yourself a specific seat :D

Other than that, very good. Quite tight, good muting, some cool layering and harmony ideas going on.

[Halindir - Skovtur [RAC4]]

Synergy.

Funny this, I was gonna write you a review just before I saw the one you put on mine.

Hardcore.

[What Is There To Say?]

Liking the concept

Good ideas, nice mellow groove. I'd make the vox samples abit louder, to be honest. Chuck some nice dubby delays on them too and I think you'd have a really solid tune for yourself!

[Terra Angelica]

A good song with a few griping bits.

The opening part of the melody is alarming is similar to While My Guitar Gently Weeps. The riff breaking up the "Is it worth it" bit started off sounding very Nirvana, reminicent of Heart Shaped Boxed. Then turned into a quiter section which really needs less distortion, it just agitates the ear at that part. Then becoming an eastern influenced psychedelic thingy, which was going somewhere and then got cut short abruptly. Really should have expended that into something bigger.

Nice riff idea around 5:00 again. It needed to go into one of the old ideas again after that, constant new material is great creatively but you need to have a level of repition.

Gunshy responds:

fuck repetition
fuck repetition

[~Burden~]

Brilliant!

Really nice peice of music! The harmony is perfect, it allows your voice to shine through while still keeping things together. Goth isn't the right genre, it's psuedo classical really. But the main thing is that it's a very nice peice of music. Great voice, keep it up!

hania responds:

Hey! Thanks for the review - yeah, I wasn't sure if it was goth or not - I think the lyrics could be in that style ... I think? But I can see why you'd put it into the classical genre. :)

[Cotton Field Blues]

Meh

The Lack of the whole blues sound kind of killed it for me. No blues scale 12 bar blues. And since you said cottonfield blues and thats not what we get with it. I would have to say as a song it isnt great. but when you compare it to what the title implys its worse. Also very repetitive and no vocals.

RadRacer responds:

yeah, shouldn't be classified as blues but i didn't know what the fuck else to put it as. It is repetative yes, but I sorta like it that way so thats how its gonna stay. I would hope you didn't give me a lower rating because of a bad title tho?
