Reviews for "No Mercy For The Damned"

Awful

Okay - first off the poem ,to me, is the Gothic literature equivalent of a novelty pop song.

Full of clichés buzzwords such as blood, damned, hell etc all used like a blunt instrument, without finesse.

This words may carry an emotional charge that can be exploited correctly within well constructed prose but here they're slapped together inexpertly in a children's nursery rhyme, written almost as a testimony that all the worst, juvenile pretentious posing is still present with the Gothic scene.

Now to those of you who liked the poem this may seem harsh, but frankly if you like this ,your standards, when it comes to poetry, must be pretty low.

Theres no use of metaphor, theres no unique or interesting rhyming scheme, the central motifs are repeated in a million similarly armature blogged poems.

All i can recommend to whoever wrote this poem is get to the nearest public library, get everything you can (poetry wise) by E.A.Poe, Byron, Lovecraft,Thomas Percy... the list goes on. I am not saying that these are some great untouchable poets you should aspire to copy but I AM saying that they are writers who have gone before who's aesthetics you seem to share and it may benefit you to read them.

Then the flash animation. Average. A good average for newgrounds but weak at points.

The animation is what merits the one star.
