FortressLord's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Load]

Melodic and SUPER atmospheric, a word I use more than is normal.

I don't know what else to say, but 04:35 is awesome.
Sorry I'm not doing one of those big reviews you're used to by now, but I am tired and didn't even plan on being on Newgrounds.

Lockyn responds:

Hey FL! How are ya :D

Hahah don't worry, I use that too much too. Habitual xD Thanks so much man, no worries about big reviews, I'm getting lazy as well x3 As you can tell... I need to get reviewing! >__< Thanks for stopping by man even though you weren't planning to be here :D

[Forgotten Secrets]

I usually only REALLY enjoy Drum n' Bass, but now with this keeping the eerie and cool atmospherics but slightly switching up the once-messy ending, this has really hit a soft spot.
Cool stuff.

Spadezer responds:

Thanks. This is the first time I've done an ambient piece and I don't plan on doing many of them, but I just had to do it when I saw the picture.

And I'm glad you like the ending better. ;)

[Preview - AIM]

Negative out the way first, it gets a bit chaotic near the end, like at 04:55.
POSITIVES now, I really like the structure and beat, and I'm loving how atmospheric this is, the melody at 02:50 is very well mastered and sounds effective and overall just good.

Also, since I usually put lots of time thinking of stories for my tracks, I must acknowledge that you've explained your interpretation of the art piece and events pretty well.

Not perfect, but VERY close to it, especially for an artist who's only just been scouted. 4.5* here and 5/5 on the side ratings.

Spadezer responds:

I'm excited that you liked it pretty well. For the part at 04:55, I did plan it to be a bit chaotic, but do you have any suggestions at cleaning it up a little bit?

Thanks a bunch and Happy St. Patrick's day... laddie ;)

[Special Move]

Smooth drums, rich bass, cool melodies at the drops, and a good balance between complicated/simple. Definitely one of the best indie DnB songs I've heard in a while.
Keep it up man!

[Tribal]

First off, I like that sequence at 1:25. Now that's said:
A very full and nice track indeed! Outside your usual style, lots of bass and detail. Since I need a negative in order to assist you... Harder snares?

Keep up the good work MhD, but I know you will, from what I've seen since Enter The Raminox.

[regrets]

I've done a lot of things I regret, and the amazing emotion in this song reminds me of them without actually making me visually remember.

johnfn responds:

Deep sigh with me: 1... 2... 3... sighhhhhhh

okay

[SkyDrive]

As you said it's not your best, like I feel some of your signature captivating flows are missing, HOWEVER I am fond of pluck-like leads, and some chord changes in this piece are very exciting.

The drums are mostly good, but maybe take a bit of bass out of the snare? It sounds a bit hollow when it's fading in.
But still a NEARLY perfect track, so you get a nearly perfect score!

Geoplex responds:

First thing I'd made in about 7 months, so yeah. No surprise there :P

The snare was meant to sound hollow when i'm low-passing it, it's an intended effect that I like. I even cut the highs further on those fades to enhance it, so i dunno.

Thanks for the feedback

[DuoCore - Dignity]

Huge bass, effects and great editing. This is really one of the best Dubstep songs I've ever witnessed. Nice work guys!

DuoCore responds:

Much appreciated!

It was REALLY fun to do. Everything just came out of my head JUST as I wanted them to. And here we are, having a complete track for everybody to listen.

Flow is such an amazing thing when you get it.

[Video Game Medley]

Hahaha I love it when I realise what songs are being done and it suddenly makes sense. The timings and pitches are pretty much spot on for these, even if there was 1/2 I didn't recognise.
I am not sure of what you could cover next but this is good!

[starlight dreams]

Sorry I can't make my signature slightly rambling long review, but I REALLY like this, I even favourited. Those echoey hits that I can't really explain are great, and the pads and effects are marvellous. I can't think of a way to improve this though.
Also, some lovely melodies in the background here!

johnfn responds:

Thanks dude! No worries :)
