Lublub194's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Not Yet Forgotten]

I heard this the day it came out.

Why the heck I never reviewed, I don't know.

This piece is so beyond epic. I think you've hands down beat every other track of yours. This piece is so melodic, yet keeps your basic heaviness that we've all come to love.

As always, the rapid kick drum is excellent, with the toms and snares, and all the crashes, making it superb.

The transition around halfway through seems out of place, until it all flows back together, into the epic piano/guitar melody.

Once again you have gained my 10 again. 100% a full 10 from me. Everybit of this piece is excellent!

I have one complaint, and it's not even about this song. It's about you and your album that's taking forever. Hurry up. Haha. I'm gonna send you a pm complaining. Just cause. I think a while back you said it'd be out in the fall, and it's fall. So?

Haha, just messing man. I'm sure you've got your reasons, and everything is better the longer you wait for it. Just like wine, the longer it ages, the more succulent. (Yes, heavy metal can be succulent)

Excellent job here. \m/

deathkllr84 responds:

hey man! Thanks for taking the time to review, haven't gotten one like this in a while.

This song was really fun to write, esp the piano intro. It's a cool song to listen to. Yeah, the breakdown is kinda out of place, but I still like it, hahaha.

Anyway dude, the album is almost done! Finishing up the vocals on the final tracks. I'll make sure I let everyone know when the album is done! \m/

[Get on my Horse [techno cover]]

Techno?! What?

"It's very funny to listen, but it's lefting something... I dunno what is.
Grats."

That's how I felt... but now I know what it is that it's lacking.

It's not metal... Haha. You should totally do a metal cover. I guarantee that'd make you famous. Haha. Doooo it!

Other then that man. You've got some sick techno skills :P Haha. Never though I'd say that about you.

Good job man!

deathkllr84 responds:

thanks man. I think theres already a metal cover out there. This was just for fun. hahaha

[Fixation (by ReFreezed)]

Hmm.

I like the effects. They add a nice subtle tune to it. Thing is though, I'm agreeing with RexFord. It really needs some climaxs. It's nice and all, but it's so close to drum and bass, that really it needs some crazy climaxs to make it feel better.

Anyways. Thats my thoughts, but it was pretty sweet overall.

:D

ReFreezed responds:

DnB? Yeah, perhaps it is. I guess I have to remove a little ambiance and add a little more crazy stuff to make everyone happy. :) I might do a revisit of the song.

Well, as always, thanks a lot for the review!

[Serenade of Water: Zelda]

Hmmm

I don't feel like this is your best work, but I do feel as though it's still quite good.

It's just a pad, and I understand that it's meant to be a trance sound. Though I feel like you could of gone further with the song, adding some of your excellent piano. Not much of a large melody like always, but just a few notes here and there.

I like what you did, but I've heard better from you.

Good job with this though.

- 1 for remix, and 1 for a lack of instruments. (I understand that this may of been what you were going for, it just wasn't in my taste, and yes. I still understand that this was a good piece of work.)

- Lubz

Tysuru responds:

This song was a little harder to cover. Cause I've always loved the serenade of water's original feel. So I guess I tried really hard to emphasize it.

I'll agree it's not my best. But i still like getting lost in the chords. I LOVE them... haha

Thank you =]

[Waltz of Reminiscing]

Excellent!

Darn near perfect in almost everyway. Even though this may not be a real piano, you made it feel so melodic.

Very very impressive job, I feel like each day I keep getting better at making classical, but then I hear this, and you make mine sound as though it's rubbish garbage.

You've become one of my favorite music posters in such a short short time of 15 minutes.

I expect to hear more from you. This is extremely extremely good stuff. Very epic!

10/10 Awesome job.

Tysuru responds:

haha, I'm gonna go listen to your stuff right now and think the same thing of you, that you make MY music sound like rubbish.

You will definitely hear more from me, as long as you keep listening.

Thank you humbly for your kind words.
I absolutely love nice feedback, makes me wanna make more... bahaha

[Song of Storms: Zelda]

I'm very displeased :C

Not at all with this song though, I really like this song. I'm displeased that I didn't do near the excellent job you did.

I like your take on this, rapid, mellow, slow, it meshes all of those together.

Your bass was excellent. Your melody... It was all great.

I only take one off for it being a remix, but I like it. Lots. Excellent job!

Tysuru responds:

=]

Thank you very much for those kind words. It means a lot, really.

[POWER of 4]

I believe.

People are reviewing off opinions...

I do believe opinions should help guide your review, but they shouldn't judge the rating you give it. As I give 9's all the time this is why: I rate the song on how it's composed, I give it a 1 - 9. When I give a song a 10, it's the kind of song that truly impresses me to no end, and goes on my zune to be listened to time after time... 100's and thousands of times.

Now onto the actual review:

This is definitely the best of the series... and I disagree with tyzone and trancik (even though I can't see any review from him)...

The melody is downright awesome. The composing is really great. I like your modulations to the X and Y on the... I think sq? Maybe?

The melodies flowed amazingly with each other. The bass was execptionally great, and with every ReF song out there, the drums sounded pretty amazing.

Everything was great here...

My ratings:

9/9 construction wise
.7 on enjoyability scale (highest is 1)
5/5 (Just cause you always get one from me)

Excellent job with these! Sad to see the series end.

ReFreezed responds:

Trancik's review seems to have been deleted. He was an evil troll. :'(

Anyway, I agree with what you say about opinions affecting reviews and scores. A review should be about the song itself, and not really about how you personally though of it.

I did make quite a lot of use of low-pass filters and resonance for several shapes. I've found out that it gives the song much more life.

Heh. Who would've though that random white noise would make such good drums?

Thanks a lot for a long real review!! :D

And only because the series has ended doesn't mean I won't make these kind of songs anymore, but I want to focus more on more advanced things now. I probably learned something from this too. :)

[Heaviest Song in the Universe]

Bummer :C

When I saw you had a new track out. I was all happy...

Oh well... Lol.

I like it at the full tempo good sir.

\m/

deathkllr84 responds:

hahaha. I will be coming out with a full length album before xmas hopefully. Patience, my friend.

[Mesothel]

Hmmm...

Sounds like a good doom song. If you haven't played doom, please go shoot yourself. Hahahaha. No don't that would be bad. Lol. Anyways, you should look up the game sometime though, because this totally sounds like it could be in there...

Like S3C said. I'd like to hear a solo.

Other then that. Nice job here. I liked it.

Haggard responds:

I played Doom (I'm nearly 30, so yeah... I was still young when it came out :P ) but it makes me sick. Literally. Motion sick. :(

Anyway, thanks for the review!

[The Essence of Time]

Whoa.

From the opening, I was suspecting this to come out... Not well. Haha.

The middle of the song sounds excellent. The drums blend well, and the strings just set the whole mood.

The only thing I would suggest is that you edit the opening, and maybe add a little more reverb to your piano.

Very nice piece here.

9/10
5/5

- Lubz

Step responds:

Ah, the opening. I don't usually start my songs like that, so I decided to try something new. I admit it does sound quite boring. What I might do is after every note, strings fade in, and once it plays another note, the strings fade out and back in again. Either that, or maybe give it a delay. Anyway, thanks for the review, I'm glad you enjoyed the song :).
