BrenthEMan's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Chaotic Temples (DEMO)]

I liked the song overall and thought you did a lot of interesting things, but I just didn't feel that there was much variety and uniqueness here to really grab hold of me. I really liked the beginning, but the song quickly got a bit tedious. The track itself is too long on its own. I did like what you did with the synths though.

I see you tagged Meshuggah. I tend to feel similarly about their music so maybe it's just me, but I feel that Meshuggah gets quite tedious after a while, and I really never go back and listen to their albums. Nothing really kicks me in the sack and makes me want more, except maybe the main riff to Rational Gaze, but even that gets tedious quickly. Almost all of their albums sound the same to me after awhile.

OceanPlanet responds:

I can totally see where you're coming from and Meshuggah is my biggest influence in music, but I do find your review helpful, thanks a lot for listening man. It's in demo phase so I can take what you've said and play around with it. I was thinking it was a bit to long, So i think shortening it might be a good idea. However, really appreciate your time on commenting and listening man :) thank you.

[Voodoo]

A cool jam. Makes me want to hop on the drum set and jam out with you.

Viper responds:

Thanks. I really wish I had people to jam with like in person. But no one is interested in the music I play.

[Wish (fast)]

Fantastic cover.

Extar responds:

Glad you enjoyed it! This is ridiculously old now though, my new stuff is on Bandcamp: https://extar.bandcamp.com/

[Bane Of Blood]

I don't have much feedback other than "wow, this was awesome." I hear the Periphery elements, and solos remind me a bit of bands like Scale the Summit. Well done, I look forward to hearing more from you.

JDawg00100 responds:

Thanks I'm glad you liked it :D

[Luminiferous]

It's s shame you didn't get any reviews when you uploaded this track. I really liked what you did with the synths. The guitar solos were pretty awesome, but could have been maybe a tad higher in the mix in parts. Otherwise, I really like what you did here. PS - I'm working on a Heavy Metal radio for NG, that's how I discovered this track. I hope that when it's released other people will be able to discover great tracks like this one that didn't get as many listens as they should have.

JDawg00100 responds:

I think that's a great idea, there's a lot of good musicians on NG that deserve more listens. This song was actually my first attempt at ever using synths, I really forgot about it to be honest since I didn't get to much feedback. Thanks for the listen!

[Supa Metawl-Metaljonus]

Wow, this is great. I've been working on a heavy metal radio station for NG lately, and just discovered you about five minutes ago when "Songintheworks-Metaljonus" played. Great stuff man. I'm glad you are still posting to the site.

Metaljonus responds:

Thanks dude! Man...I don't remember writing that idea hahaha! I have a bunch of newer stuff you may dig. Look around and check it out! :D

[The Hourglass]

The problem was that the file didn't exist on the filesystem. I re-uploaded the file again and now it's all happy. If this happens again just try re-uploading. Shoot us an email if you have problems. Great song too BTW.

Metallica1136 responds:

Oh! I see you fixed it for me, thanks, man! I meant to get it done way earlier, but I was being lazy lol, appreciate it man, will do, glad you like the track!
