The-Great-One's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Reasoner- I'm Still Here]

Simple, Graceful, but with a Story

The fallen hero rises up from the ashes. He is tired, beaten, and has gone through hell. Fighting for his king. He ventures past his fallen comrades and comes to the enemy castle. 100 men stand before him as well as the King seeing this. The hero draws his sword and strides towards the army of 100... when the King halts his troops. The enemy king surrenders... knowing that the other side would go to any lengths to win this war.

Sorry for writing this boring story, but this song just reminded me so much of this. You have made quite the beautiful Classical piece and I can only hope to see more great works from you.

Sincerely,
The-Great-One

[Walking With You Forever]

Very Superb...

I was sitting here listening to this song thinking to give you an 8... I thought it was quite boring, then it started to build up and so I decided to keep listening some more and it was missing something... but you brought that in at 1:55. I must say you have done a superb job with this audio.

Magnificent... keep up the good work.

garyevor responds:

thank you for your expressions and vote. Thanks too for listening all the way through sometimes we save the best for last and if we don't listen all the way we miss it. I always felt that a song should build as it goes on. Thanks again.

[Work it Harder (AndY J Edit)]

You Did Ruin It...

This really wasn't even a great remix... the beats you put down in this song through the whole song off balance and turned it basically into a crappy dance song that only people who are high would listen to. I really don't see a great deal of effort put into this song, just repetition. I thought it was going to get better at 1:10, but I was wrong. As for no loops used, it was basically a collection of loops and not good ones either, they may have been you're own, but they weren't good. When you remix a song you make your own original song that sounds familiar to the original. You sir have made a cover which is your own rendition of the song... and it wasn't good at all.

[AlxEllis - Get Up And Dance]

A bit repetitive....

That's the only complaint I can make about this song, plus the voice brought in just threw the song way out of place and it didn't really have a nice bounce in it. It loops perfectly however. Good job.

AlxEllis responds:

Thanks for the review

[_-={When Madness Descends}=-_]

Greatness As Always

A fight between two warriors. One who plans to revive the world as a new world, and the other who plans to save us all. The battle is at large, and others around the world are taking sides. The flames of destiny are upon us, as the wind takes hold of the skies, the waters clash against each other, and the earth rumbles filling no terror or fear within anyone battling upon the field, we call Planet Earth. A battle so fierce... you'd think it were a war, when the war is happening between the two choosing sides. The greater good overcomes the dark one and sends him to his doom, but spares his life.

"The world is run on power, not violence. Take away the power, and you leave and empty shell."
- The-Great-One (2008)

A magnificent piece if I must say and in Classical Rock I certainly am surprised. However I felt it was a bit too short, but as you described, the PC limitations. Nonetheless, I enjoyed it.

Sincerely,
The-Great-One

MaestroRage responds:

hey TGO! Thank you for the story first off!

I enjoyed the description of such epic proportions, however your quote though valid, I must disagree with you.

I don't disagree in the sense that power and violence are different, and that the world is in fact not run purely off it, but power is earned through the prospect of violence.

But only if the definition of violence is expanded to suit a general purpose. Economical violence, spiritual violence, environmental violence. All these factors combined, these qualities together form power. For a nation or man whom holds no potential for these violences is deemed without power.

Thank you for the review, i'm glad you liked it! Once again, thank you for the story! Well written and enjoyable!

Welcome Home

A serenade of greatness... it truly is something wonderful. Something nice to wake up to in the morning. Very beautiful, from violin to piano. Excellent work.

[Kid Icarus Medley]

From One Who Had Played.

Kid Icarus was truly a remarkable video game and I'm so happy that we can get some magnificent remixed Kid Icarus music on Newgrounds now. Thank you for making this, you did a superb job on it.

[xKore - View]

It's Balanced

It has a nice balance of Trance and techno... but what I really love is how it loops perfectly! Right when it ended to start over it's like the song never even stopped. That is what I found truly awesome... I don't know if that was intentional or not, but it was nicely done. I found at some points in the song that I was getting quite sleepy, to where the song was boring me a bit, but then it would reach a point of waking me up. Outstanding job I must say... keep up the good work.

xKore responds:

The looping wasn't intentional 0.0 I only just found out now xD

Anyways, I can see where your coming from with that, I will improve :D
