DoctNik's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Lights]

Would love to hear some lyrics to this but oh well, it's still a nice and smooth if unremarkable beat.

B-RadGfromOV responds:

Lyrics are possible, though I have a backlog of other rap projects. Thanks for listening.

[TIGER M - When Something Is Broken (Screws Unloosed)]

Content does not equal quality. That's a rule of thumb for game designers, and one that I think applies to all art forms, including your song, which at times feels like several instruments playing their own solos rather than as a conglomerate. I felt that the guitar was more Seinfeld than suspense, the synthesizer more horror than anything, and everything else just came across as noise.

The only advice I can give you is to keep trying, don't feel discouraged because if you feel anything right now, you should feel challenged, challenged to improve your skill and eventually perform at the best of your abilities. I'm here to review submissions, not the submitter, good luck on future projects.

TigerM responds:

Thank You for your critical ear DocNik. Reading and listening I thank You for Your time
and as received honestly I think your personal review is important to You

Happy New Year

Sincerely
BAM! P.E.F. WAM! DJ, TIGER M! ^_~* =) =]

[Remedy - ACT]

This is alternative/experimental rock, not heavy metal, not to me at least but whatever it doesn't really matter. At first I liked how it switched from a softer slower paced rock to much stronger metal vocals and sound, it was a fun transition but as the song went on it kind of blended into a mish mash of sound that was to soft to bang your head to and to heavy to just listen to, it was weird man. Good effort all in all, but I couldn't connect with it.

nolife1 responds:

That's fair enough man, when I write music I can force transitions a bit too much.
Thank you for the review :)

[Bloom]

Unlike an artwork or an animation, music cannot be dissected. You either love it or hate it, you either feel it or you don't. There's no technical feedback I can give to you other than that I like it, until your next upload, happy holidays!

B-RadGfromOV responds:

Glad you're listenin, happy holidays to you too

[TIGER M - This Fiction]

A lot of love went into this and probably sonded smooth on your in but on my end it sounded like a recording of a radio, very bad audio quality made it the opposite of smooth and relaxing. It felt a little too attention grabbing at times to be a lounging song, and its ending felt forced. Better luck on future projects.

TigerM responds:

Thank You for your response =)

BAM! P.E.F. WAM! DJ, TIGER M! ^_~*

P.S. And you do mean 'better luck' from DocNik critiques I imagine =)
Thank You for sharing your experience D.N. =) And yes =)
A lot of love did and does -- check your hardware =3 (Earphones?)

Nothing was forced -- Thank you for your audience =) An enjoyable experience received =)

[Gale's Theme | 2012]

A serene and calming song that was in of itself, rather forgettable. But the same could be said for most musical scores in video games, so mission accomplished. Music like this requires context or graphics to have its full effect and while your description helped it I feel it would be truly recognized if used in a game or animation. On a less professional note, happy belated Thanksgiving!

Bertn1991 responds:

Thanks for another review, sir! Just to clarify, this song is from way back in 2012 :-)

Hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving as well ^-^

[Forest]

The strange distorted style wasn't my cup of tea but I can still appreciate it. Can't wait to see where it goes.

B-RadGfromOV responds:

distorted? :( ah well, sorry bout that.

It's not going anywhere else, I posted cause it's done :P

[the crack speakin (trash)]

DJDureagon sent me here, the beats he added gave even more life to this. I was convinced this was a song you spent weeks working on but 15 minutes? Really though? Color me impressed cause damn man, that was awesome! Well done!

A word of advice though, you seem to think this is garbage, but it isnt. As an artist you need to show your work up not talk it down. You may think its funny or cute or you might actually think its true, but no matter the quality of your music, it's yours, and that should be enough to make it better than anything else. Hope you realise your talents man, peace.

B-RadGfromOV responds:

I appreciate it. I only say this is garbage cause I didn't put any effort forth.

I am very proud of my other stuff that I work hard on, a lot of my other raps have my heart poured into the concept and delivery. My other stuff feels like complete songs, that I really nail and mix on beats. I don't talk shit about those ones trust me ;^)

This is just an exercise for flowing ideas onto paper, pretty much throwaway material.
