Shanath's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Time Shift (Instrumental)]

I'm not really a fan of trance but I must say this song was pretty great. Interesting melody and very nice use of synths overall. I feel like it could have used a little more variation but it really doesn't detract from the whole experience and I can easily see this working as a background song for a flash game or such.

Either way, pretty nice job. I'll make sure to check out your other tracks when I have time.

Dylnmatrix responds:

I'm glad that you liked the track even though you're not a big fan of trance music.

I agree that it could use more variation, though, to be frank, most EDM tracks need it. I do work hard to try and keep most of the track fresh and varied, but you can only go so far with a burst of inspiration, y'know?

Thanks for the review, though! It means a lot to me to get a review. I'll be sure to check out your songs when I have time as well ;)

[Lily of the Valley]

I can totally see myself playing some kind of platformer while listening to this song. Claps don't seem to fit in certain parts of the song but other than that this is pretty awesome. It loops perfectly too. :3

Great work.

SoulofT responds:

Those damn claps lol -_-. I'll fix them one day!

I'm glad you think the loop works, its my first time trying a loop so I thought it wouldn't be so smooth :p

Thanks for the review! :D

[Wet Grass]

I love it. :3 Very catchy and can easily picture this track working for a credits theme. Definitely like what I've heard from you so far. I probably will be sending you a PM soon. :o

MilkyChocolate responds:

Well that would probably be very cool when it happens. .u.
Thanks.

[GAME OVER.... Continue?]

I like it, you can easily tell it would fit in a game over screen. It doesn't loop very well, however. :[

Genclops responds:

Thanks for the review. It wasn't intended to be seamless

[Seven nation army COVER]

This is pretty awesome! Clean guitar and nice drum samples. I haven't heard the original before but I think I'll end up looking it now! xD

Great work.

DivoFST responds:

Its one of the most well known songs in the world and it is awesome i think you should look it up :)
Thanks a lot for the comment Shanath ;D

[Sanctuary]

Very beautiful work, quite wonderous. It's my first time listening to one of your tracks and I'm really amazed.

You've got yourself a new fan. :3

Step responds:

I appreciate the review and I'm glad I made a good first impression!

Oh and thanks a lot for favouriting me. I love getting new fans :3.

[Breath of Fire III -BossT]

Actually, I'm pretty sure you can reupload an updated version from the project page without any problems.

Anyway, as for the song itself I agree with the previous reviewer with every point. Bass is way too loud compared to the melody so it just gets drowned and makes it sound rather messy. Fix that and I think this would be quite nice.

Keep at it! Check my stuff out too if you ever have the time. :]

SmashesCupcakes responds:

I tried reuploading but it doesn't do anything for me :/
And I will check out your stuff :)

[[I.H.M.] - Bullshit]

This is actually very nice. Quite a lovely melody you've got going here, however the piano samples could have definitely been better. Sounds like you used the default samples from whatever DAW you're using.

Besides that, I think it's pretty great. Keep it up!

[Everlong Circles II]

This is quite beautiful. I'm under the impression it might be used for a wedding as well? I think it would do great if it did! You really got some amazing talent.

I hope to hear more from you sometime. :]

skyood responds:

Yup, that's what it was written for ... in response to a request on the forums for walking-down-the-aisle wedding music.

Thanks for your kind words!

[Kern Eel E Ous]

I think the song is pretty great, but was this done with midi samples? Cause it sounds really low quality.

I think it's great, though could be a lot better if you used some VSTI's or something.

Keep it up.

Solisio responds:

Lol, yes. It's actually straight from guitar pro. Thanks :).
