FortressLord's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[In The Face Of Defeat]

What BlackShadowNinja5 said, but I'd like to add that the sort-of riff towards the end is pretty cool. Nice use of emotions.

[Interspecies Alliance cov]

The melody is definitely coming through on this version, and the riff gets even more final and nice towards the end.

[Hotel Finite (remix) [w.i.p]]

I want to hear more! (+smoother ending?)
I like this a lot, and this is very good with nice vibes for a 3 hour production.

[Inevitable Fate Returns]

The guitar for the first part of the song has a slight high pitch tone I can't tell if I like, and the ending is abrupt, but I far prefer this version: The melodies come through more, the part at 01:15 is great, and the overall quality is just... Better. Nice job.

rainheart666787 responds:

I agree with this, you have a good ear for music and can articulate it very well in a constructive manner. thank you for listening and reviewing :-)

[Inevitable Fate Original]

I don't why this has 2 stars when the orchestral parts go quite well and some melodies, like at 02:30, sound very good. But things like the synth are too simple and the structure is plain I guess. Not your best BUT old and just remade, so I'll see how that one is.

rainheart666787 responds:

I felt it was a strong piece when i wrote it a few years back, really wanted to pull the emotion out of the instruments but in doing so i can see now, looking back, it is a bit basic and simple. i have a few others i will be remaking so keep an eye out! :-)

Thank you also for a very helpful and honest review!

[Arise]

The first half's snares lack punch to me and near the end are a bit muffled or something, but I'm just getting those out the way: I really liked the overall piece and the all the effects and melodies.
The robotic noises and almost industrial sounds really give the track realism and theme. Great job I'd say. 4.5 here and 5 on the side so 4.75 in total.

[Carousel (Xtrullor Remix)]

Really powerful with nice bass and an overall crackly niceness.
I'd like the digital lead clearer and the ending smoother and more finalising, but I promise I'm not being offensive I just always try to think of bad points so my review is more useful.

Xtrullor responds:

And you definitely are being useful with it. I will check those things out right now, as I'm still working on this track to be a lot longer than that.

Thanks for the comment man.

[Level 1]

Nice and very cool theme. Reminds me of Mass Effect crossed with a spy movie. Maybe the high pitched lead could be deeper or something as a point of improvement.

rainheart666787 responds:

i actually agree with this entirely, upon listening to it back, that lead seems to dwalf everything else. good points :-)

[Game Over]

Pretty relaxing, loop a bit clicky and somewhat repetitive but nice melodies and theme.

[Desolate]

It seems we are both feeling very productive today!
Very nice melodies, with a smooth, even mix. Also loops smoothly. I'd like it longer perhaps with a shorter quiet time so the loop is less obvious.

rainheart666787 responds:

yea i tried to edit that transition down in my software but it said no lol so might have to just loop it manually and create a longer track :-) and great minds create alike :-)
