The Woman's roar indeed

This song absolutely sucked really really bad
I'm guessing that this is MaestroSorrow's second account so I just want to say that ALL your songs back then were a million times better.
I cant stress enough how much worse you have gotten. You don't do any justice to the Classical genre...
The song was better off w/o the singer btw. Everyone is just like WOW he has a real singer, this is amazing! Wrong, I could've found a better singer fuck dude.
I never really liked your samples, your style seems to be similar to all the other so called classical artists. Short boring string passages followed by loud, random, spurts or brass and the obsessively overused percussion in general.
You literally shot this song in the face and took a nasty dump on it.
It also appears that you know VERY little about instrumentation as well. In this case, does the timpani player have a whole chromatic set surrounding him when he plays? Or did you just not think that far? I can also guess that you don't play any instruments. I, who has performed on over 8 instruments and has a strong knowledge of music theory, have a better chance of making a song than you...
And you are a musician/artist?
Violin solo OMG! wow!! it was so retarded
not even worth being a solo in the first place...
Thats another thing about newgrounds, everyone apologizes for being intricate and mention every flaw for people who have big names like you (undeservingly)
All in All, this was made without any flare of the soul, no emotions at all, just illusions. These 8 year olds don't know anything about theoretical aspects of music that make it what it is... Your description for these songs are all EMO crap with no meanings at ALL. I mean seriously man!
"The untold struggle stories of women in days of old and new." I didn't see any of that. That's just bullshit for these kids to talk about and pretend to sound sophisticated. They don't know what theyre listening to

ANYWAYS...
I really implore you to take composition courses of some sort if you intend to continue this. I don't know you... but this piece of crap is enough to hate you for because you took everything that I love about music and wiped your ass all over it. You could atleast start taking music theory classes and start making sense in your songs, because apparently you have no idea what you're doing. It's the same ol' guess and check process of making 'music' that all these other half-assed 'composers' are shitting out.

DO NOT just overlook this review, if you do then you're just a coward.
PLEASE respond to this review and don't just be like

"non nono no you're wrong cuz i know u R! lolz! fagz"

I'm intensely curious as to see if you agree about what I have said and if you agree because no matter how mean I sounded,

I spoke no lies.

MaestroRage responds:

I'm not going to cower, I do not believe in aggresively responding to any review, even should that review, quite frankly, was quite aggressive in nature towards me.

First off, I would like you to reconsider how you say things. ALL of these songs, are formed by images and stories that I form in my own head. Wether you see these images or not, wether you feel what I am feeling or not, is entirely subjective. If your profile is true in any way, then I must commend you. 8 instruments? In truth, I strive to be of somebody of your power, but know that I do NOT plan to attempt to attack somebody in this way. I have this to say though, please, in future reviews, should you choose to do so, do not be so aggressive. You're review, should you have given it to me say 6 months ago, would have turned me away from making music entirely.

I am insanely interested in one thing that you stated though.

"ALL your songs back then were a million times better"

I ask that you pm me, and explain this in more details, because frankly... I could not agree with you more. However, my one fear has taken hold. I HAVE taken some guidance from others that have greater skill then me, guidance, that has frankly reformed me into styles that I never planned to stray to. You may be right, I may be a shame to all things classical. However no matter how deep a shame I am, I feel that my music can still touch a few people, and if I can do that, then frankly I could not care less of what people like you may say.

However, I did take one offense to this review. You would insult the singer?

That singer is 15 years old! She is an aspiring opera singer, she is dedicated to her art, and she has more talent in her voice then my meager composing skills has allowed to demonstrate, therefore, I would throw that back at you, even should some world famous opera singer offer their services to me I would not take it. Like me, she is an aspiring artist, and I would build up with her, then get dragged up by somebody famous. I believe I speak for most NG composers on NG, when I say We are here, because we want to be! I, like everybody else, is here in vague hopes of sharing a shred of themselves with others, so that they may grow, and expand.

I would "implore" you to tell me that at some point you were not like us!

But I digress.

Music Theory? For two reasons I will not take music theory.

1) My parents do not even know I make music, even now I hide this window whenever they come by, should they know, they would get out of their way to remove this interest of mine, so that I may become their wonder angel and become the next best doctor.

2) Incidentally I do not have the money or the ability to sneak out into lessons. Everything you hear, that you "hate" or at the least "tolerate" is self taught.

Do not say "If you had real passion, you'd go against them!" I despise this saying more then anything. It is BECAUSE I have such a love that I continue clicking in a dark corner in my room, in constant fear of being found out.

I have been doing this only for a year and 2 months. I have come a very long way, and thankfully I have enough confidence not to let your words destroy my hopes of one day ascending to a level where I may help others in refining their art.

I must cut this response short, I had much more to say, unfortunately I could not say them here. However, I thank you for your words, no matter how brutal they were intended to be, they did give me a chance to take a few steps back, and wonder where exactly I am headed towards.

Another Great

Another Great peice of work, Maestro. But! I must say that, out of all of these songs, this one is my least favorite. Not just because that you cut it, its just that at 00:25 - 00:36 the vocals notes were kind of off and it just made that time frame a little tense to listen to. Good work though *shiver* this is the first 4/5 I'm giving you. :(

MaestroRage responds:

thank you Stealth. I am glad you enjoyed it. To be honest, I read the review directly above your's first, and it put me in a kind of... neutral mood. However, I am glad you found it entertaining. As you mentioned, that section clashes, but not because of the singer, that is entirely my fault.

I'm glad to see your honesty, I hope to keep getting your 5's in the future ^^.

Schweet

T-T.

Why must this be so damnededededed brueitfiulas!

I loved every second of it! BUT WHY DID YOU CUT IT?! WHY DIDN'T YOU PUT THE WHOLE THING, YOU'RE SUCH AN POOPY BUTT MAN!

>:(

10/7

MaestroRage responds:

>:(

>:)

I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the review!

Amazing

Absolutely amazing, but not perfect. It might just be me, but I have a very small complaint, im just trying to help you out.

Intro: Beautiful but for one thing, the vocals seemed somewhat un-needed and out of place at some places, and the vocalized notes seemed to varient for me. I dont know. But this is in the very beginning. Overall 90% (dont get mad, I'm just being honest)

Melody: Perfectly beautiful. The vocals were great, clear, and just added perfectly to this section. There was very little synth sound side-effects and it was all very clear and realistic. Overall this section would get a 100%

Ending: Very good fadeout and decrescendo, a very pleasent ending that seemed to blend perfectly with the rest of the song. The song felt a little incomplete though (obviously because its cut down). Overall this section would get 98%

Clarity: Perfect 100%

Diversity: Not much to really broaden with, Excellent 100%

Effort: Would you expect anything less? I dont think so! 100%

Originality: Great blend of vocals unlike anything i've ever heard, overall, great. 100%

Overall: 99%

MaestroRage responds:

Please, I respect your honesty, along with anybody elses ^^. Don't be afraid to speak your mind, i'm open to all angles.

It did feel a bit incomplete didn't it? I suppose I should have found another segment to flesh out and submit as a demo.

Oh well, I suppose when it's done i'll upload the full thing!

Thanks for the review ^^, means a good deal to me.

Good Show!

I like this piece a lot. What did you use to make this? I'm a Reason junky and I try to make good classical sometimes but I don't manage to come up with melodies like that. Please reply. -Paul

MaestroRage responds:

I'm sorry for the late response Paul. Here is what I use.

I use Fruity Loops, for one reason alone really. Reason doesn't use VST's, which is essentially absolutely everything you hear in this song. Fruity Loops has actually very little to do with the sounds here, Fruity Loops is just the vessel to carry out these mini Plug-in programs which contain these samples.

Thats not to say Reason can't do this either, there is some AWESOME refills which I would just kill to have on Fruity Loops, but there is good with the bad, and bad with the good right?

I hope I was helpful, if you have any other questions, feel free to ask ^^.

Thank you for the review.
