Cutting-Christ's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Body Of A Pig Sapomans mi]

Decent mix.

This is a pretty decent mix. You have some interesting sounds in there. The percussion is definitely the right stuff for classic industrial. :) There are melodies that don't really work or don't really go anywhere, and this song is more of a collage of individual melody parts, rather than a cohesive whole which builds up and breaks down. It's not bad, just needs more of a flow. OR, this song would work extremely well if it just had some good vocals (I'm thinking Velvet Acid Christ-type vocals). :D If you get the chance, I'd love to hear a vocal mix! :)

ps. You should totally review one of my songs. :D (if you do, please try to be constructive)

4/5, 7/10, and a kiss *mwah*

sapoman responds:

It's more like a journey, so I didn't think it needed a cohesive melody. There are distinctive parts, but I wanted it to have diversity and not have a pop structure. If one were to animate this, different scenes would unfold as the song progressed and the journey would not start where it began.

[(NUB)TiedTheRoomTogether]

Very Mike Shinoda-ish sounding.

I agree with IDReaper. It does remind me of Linkin Park. Which isn't a bad thing. Awesome. The only bad thing is that it's so short.

nubbinownz responds:

that it is... i'm working on a longer version :D

[Closed off [an instrument]

Sorry.

Sorry. My personal opinion.

alternativesolution responds:

In this one I had added more build-up and background, yet the grudge against midi and my songs was evident enough.
Maybe I should say thanks for not voting, since you'd vote it really low. My guess is you are a professional who cannot acknowledge a melody or rhythm, or have heard many great songs that make mine seem like crap.
That said, I am clearly stating this piece does not deserve a 3.
But then again,
Your Personal Opinion.

[Carefree Orange Juice]

Very, very messy.

It's really messy and it doesn't flow. The harmonies are off, and again, basic MIDI instruments. I'm sorry, but I don't really like it. Luckily for you, I'm not voting for them, just reviewing, otherwise your ratings would go down a lot.

alternativesolution responds:

I'd used the same program while making this.
i see why you say it's messy, and i can tell you why. it's the beat. even though it's not off, it's very irregular, and i was aiming for the randomness.
I do say that the harmony wasn't off at all, the beat just made everything seem to choppy.
Also, I don't expect you to like it. Just a fair review of the music and my experience. thanks again for your input.

[Peacebeat [an instrumenta]

Could use some work.

I don't like the instruments. They are like basic MIDI instruments and they just don't have a very professional sound to them. The song is okay, but there just isn't enough to it. The melody is okay, but it could use something in the background to pump it up. Maybe some bass and a string ensemble? I don't know, I just didn't really like it. I'm interested in what program you use to make this, because as I've said, it sounds pretty cheap. The only thing that sounds good quality is the reverb, which isn't really a big deal. I recommend getting Fruity Loops or Acid or something if you want to look into the music career professionally, which I highly doubt. But even so, they are good programs and I know for a fact that you can get free versions of FL around the web, you just have to look. Keep working on it, I guess. I'll check out your other songs, maybe they'll be better than this one. Sorry. Just my personal opinion...and I'm a tough critic.

alternativesolution responds:

Thanks for the in-depth review.
This is one of my oldest songs, so I can see how your score compares.
But there is one thing. You can lose the attitude. I don't see how being doubtful of my interests has any relevance to this review.

[Lame Commercial Techno Song]

Not bad.

Not bad. Check out what I can do with FL. =)

DaftPunkAAO responds:

I saw what you did. Great job! Looking forward to see your other songs!

[word for it + funky modulator]

Unique.

It's got a unique sound to it and although I wasn't too sure at the beginning, I felt my self grooving to it eventually. Nice job. It takes guts and skill to make this kind of wonderful, terrible music. -wink-

zcult responds:

Thanks for the review. I like this song although its pretty messed up and unpleasant at times. :[

Also sorry for the slowpoke post.

[Angels We Have Heard On High]

Pure Awesome

Excellent new take on a Christmas/religious song. ^_^

CyriltheWolf responds:

Thanks.

[(WF1) Jaded Midnight]

Stock Drum Loops..?

I see you use Fruity Loops Studio. I do as well. Um..yeah...the drum loops....errrrr...no....I don't really like how you used them. Sorry.

wyldfyre1 responds:

yeah i used the drum loops haha. Well i suppose i can't please everyone right? No need to be sorry glad you were honost! =) The preset loops are there because i couldn't really think of a good beat for this one and they worked so well it seemed a shame to take them off.
