The-Great-One's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Village Valse]

Hmm...

Sounds close to Monstro in Kingdom Hearts, but it's different. I like it it's like a village in suspicion. Very calm like a village but somewhat eerie. Very nice indeed.

Winterwind-NS responds:

Kingdom Hearts eh? that game with the disney characters n such?
thanks for the review

[Dire Love (S. Mario 64)]

Awesome and Simple

I've heard a good bit of Dire Dire Dock and Jolly Roger Bay remixs here on Newgrounds. But this one is one that kept to originality and good clean simplicity.
Bravo!

Gheric responds:

Thank you, there are alot that don't enjoy my remixes allready, I keep getting mail complaints. Oh well.

[_-={The Desire to Destroy}=-_]

Lost with No Wisdom

It appears before the battlefields that Kings march onward ignoring there own wisemen sentencing them to death. The battles range on between two kingdoms that once got along prosperously until one from one kingdom killed another from the other, then war became announced. These killings due to the lone killer's actions have caused destruction and mayhem among two that were once one. With the wise ones heading to the gallows all is lost on hope except for thousands to die in the matter of meager mortals decisions.

Another great piece of music you have created. I enjoyed it greatly.

MaestroRage responds:

It is strange, how rash emotions have often ruined ideal and prosperous scenerios. It is no surprise to read the head of the lion, like always, will attack what it pleases. The body, must sadly follow regardless of what it may be thinking.

It is a story that rings true in history as well as fiction. Well written The-Great-One!

Thank you for the review, i'm glad you liked it! Sorry for the late response, keeping track of reviews are incredibly hard with the new system!

[_-={When Demons Cry}=-_]

Speechless

As the boy stands before the ruins of such a happy place destroyed by man, as man see and hate one another it makes the demons cry to see such hatred. When demons cry places are destroyed and when demons cry to release an anger upon man.

That is why demons prey on men of hatred and war and when the innocent soul is met and shows heart and not violence, the demon accepts it.

You can call them demons, but I call them angels, angels referred to as demons by man.

You have made another great audio and I truly enjoyed it from beginning to end. Thank you for another great experience.

MaestroRage responds:

Hello TGO.

A very very interesting concept you have written here. I have never once thought of demons in this nature, and truth be told, it is very endearing.

Listening to this piece with your story, it sits very well, and opens up volumes of stories and ideas.

Thank you for THAT experience! I am glad you liked the piece, thank you again for the review. I apologize sincerely for the late response :(.

[_-={Blood Fields}=-_]

The Plans of Action

I really loved this piece, it is masterful, in it's own words. I wrote another story in my review, but I'm going to PM it to you instead to read.

Your music gets better and better over time, you go from perfection to higher qualities of perfection.

Sincerely,
The-Great-One

MaestroRage responds:

Perfection to higher quality perfection eh? The statement alone makes me sit down and think. If there is a higher quality of perfection, there cannot be any form of perfection, and because of this, there was never any perfection to begin with.

So you think they all suck D:!?!?!?!

I joke, I jest, I gibe ;)

Thank you for the review and the story! I am glad you liked it! I apologize for the late response!

[Newgrounds Rumble Theme]

Let's Get Ready to RUMBLE!

First things first, I love the Newgrounds Rumble Game! Very Awesome! I have a few ideas on a sequel if you're willing to give a listen.

Now then, you're remix of the Newgrounds Theme to be put into a battle theme is a crazy idea, but this idea has worked very well! Awesome song!

Evil-Dog responds:

it's not me who should listen to your ideas, I just made the music, tell Aaron(NegativeOne) about it instead.
Thanks for the comment :)

[_-={Atop A Gentle Home}=-_]

Simple Tears...

The shedding of a man's tears as he begins to see through another's eyes. The pathes that another has walked, the choices that another has chosen, shocks such a man to bring tears to his eyes, but these tears are not those of eternal sadness no, but they are tears of joy for one kind and beautiful maiden has brought one out of sorrow and shown him life that others live, not within the darkness, but within the light, she reached out her hand to his and pulled him towards the light, she saved him from a grim fate that may have been worse than death itself.

I wrote a story like this called "The Dark and Light of Life" and I wrote that story inspired by one of friends who has gone through life's turmoils. I only wish I could help him more, but all I can do is just sit and listen and hopefully help with his sadness...He has a hidden unhappiness, and there's hardly anything I can do about it, yet words help more than others think.

This piece really speaks to me, I'm going to have to stop writing now, I need some time to gather my thoughts.

Sincerely,
The-Great-One

MaestroRage responds:

Your story is one that reflects on my own memories. Though I do not speak in the sense I claim to have experienced the harsher things in life, I have known those who have. It is sad, to see them slowly succumb to themselves, and like you said, all I could do was sit, and listen.

I'm glad you were able to relate to the piece, though of course by no means do I mean I am glad it didn't trigger a happy one.

After reading your story I sat back, closed my eyes and lived it. Taking the scenery slowly into view, creating characters, an entire world was born. It was... an interesting hour.

Thank you for the story and review The-Great-One. I really enjoyed it!

[_-={The Journey}=-_]

The Misty Battlefront

As the soldiers take their first steps onto the field, they are aware of what awaits them, a grim fate, a happiness of victory, the love of another, and the fate that lies ahead of them they cannot choose for they must rely on instinct and instinct alone. They must lead themselves as they are about to come to the line of life and death, some will come to the point of choosing their fate, live to see their loved ones again, or die to give someone else that chance, and when the music stops the war begins...

I have spun a grim yarn here today, your music brings out the passion of writing in me, in fact this piece has cleared my writer's block and I'm ready to continue writing. Thank You...

HAVE A NICE DAY!
:D

Sincerely,
The-Great-One

MaestroRage responds:

Writers block... how I hateth thee >:(. Whenever I get a writers block, I tear my hair out because I KNOW what it should sound like, but it's just always just beyond my grasp.

Muses come and go, and always they never leave a number in case I need to reach them.

The swine.

In any case, the story is well written. There is one phrase here, which I found especially interesting

"some will come to the point of choosing their fate, live to see their loved ones again, or die to give someone else that chance"

To think, you would have had to make a choice, to die for your friends, or live to see their own funerals. War demands the most difficult questions, with the most vulgar answers.

It was a moment I enjoyed living in.

I am glad your writers block went away. There is no joy greater for me then to start hearing what it is I want to hear once more!

Good luck on your writing! I hope the best for you and your journey. Thank you for the review, i'm glad you liked it ^^

[_-={Remember Us}=-_]

The Deathes of Those

A very masterful piece, listening to your music brings out the best stories from me. I just typed a story in my review, but I'm taking it out just in case someone tries to steal it for their own.

I love listening to your music and I'm glad you're still here to share your talented gift with us all at Newgrounds.

Sincerely,
The-Great-One

MaestroRage responds:

Thank you The-Great-One. I enjoy reading your stories! I hope you will share it with me via pm *I havn't checked my pm's yet, maybe you already did?!*. In any case, wether you do or not, is entirely your choice :).

I'll be here for as long as I can. To keep entertaining those who would listen.

Thank you for the review, i'm glad you liked it ^^.

[Same Destination]

Simply Marvelous

That's all I have to really say about this. It's just simply marvelous. I love the title too, sounds like a good theme to use in a foot race movie. I really love this piece.

Excellent Job!

El-Romano responds:

Woaw man! I didn't expect a review like this one! Thanks a lot!
