[Don't Close That Door!]

Cool.

I like the reverb of the piano. The only thing that brought down your score significantly was the drum part. Way too damn quite and way too simple. I would've fallen in love with this song if the drum part was more complex, got more desperate feeling to it. I'm a drummer so I was quite unhappy and disappointed. Also the Piano part. Overall, I very much liked it. But repeating one note over and over again? (eg. starting from 00:31) I didn't quite like that. For the guitar, yeah I can imagine the guitar playing that part quite nicely. But I wish you would've put more effort into it. Rather than just doing the guitar part, I wish you would've improvised the whole song to a piano, so it's more smoother and befits the piano part.
I may be taking this seriously, but I suggest you putting more efforts into the music before posting it here on Newgrounds. No hard feelings. I liked the music very much. Hope to see the full version soon.

The reason the drums are so simple is because i wanted to focus on the piano (guitar) part. Also sometimes less is more in simple songs like this. I was shooting for a more RELAXING song. There is a drum change at around 1:25 if you care lol. Like i did say though, i'm new to the program i am using (took me 2 hours to learn how to fade out lol).

Thank you VERY much for the response though. Constructive Criticism is very helpful.

[Twista Shifta - Run!]

I don't think is Jazz.

So far, I like the music. Despite the fact that you were aiming for the wrong genre and some uneveness in the music, I liked it.

I this is more like a progressive metal. Sounds kinda like it was influenced by dream theater, but in more cheery manner and less metallic.

Also, in the intro, the violin thingy in the background? Might have been a great addition to the music but sounds way too choppy. WAY too much repetition going on and I can litterally immagine you going crazy with the keyboard, cause the violins are too friggin' choppy! smooth it out! (The leading violin was excellent though.)

There are two types of music in my opinion. One is a type with extreme chops, mostly used in metal. And there is another type, which is very smooth. things like classical musics or jazz are usually the ones that belong in the category. In your music, drums with extreme chops and violin with smooth notes, I don't think you've quite achieved the "jazzy" feeling. If this music was aiming for progressive metal feeling, then this is one hell of a music.
I can assure you that you've took a great challenge in mixing both aspects of music because it's not something that can be easily done with ease and create a perfect harmony. I only know few musicians that actually achieved the perfect harmony using both chopiness and smoothness.

I would recommend this music to anybody who plans to make an rpg game like Final Fantasy series, but only if you fix the repetitive violin part. Smooth out the end of each stroke of the violin and this music would be an ace.

This is only my thought, but I would've liked if the piano part was actually piano, not something that is a mixture of electric piano and organ.

Anyway, very nice work! I look forward to your future pieces!

Thanks dude. That's the longest piece of advice I've gotten so far from anyone. Cuz usually no one gives me advice. They just say it sounds good and then they're done. Glad to see you care about it that much to give me advice on it.

[LAZERS]

FUNNY

LOL that was funny in the beginning! using the point-out-the-obvious joke was brilliant.

just wanna say that it's brilliant, a bit hard for me to understand the words correctly since English is not my first language XD, but i was able to understand fully after few tries.
Starting from 0:08, the smoothness starts to disappear, making it sound kinda choppy in a way.
overall, funny comercial XD

jjwallace responds:
