This is ideal for Sonic Fans. Oh, And anyone with ears.
I liked the placement of the additions. A lot of the time when you hear a remix, There a shitload of clutter and basically it becomes too layered and its impossible to even hear the original piece of work being mixed. You kept to the original a bit, But still got a huge portion added on.
Anyway, The quality and sound clips were all crisp and clear. Nothing cut off or was completely drowned out of the song. So overall this is deserving of its current spot within the top 50 of Newgrounds.
Keep this standard up.

I think this is slightly over rated.
Don't get me wrong, Its a great piece of work. But it seems to be a pile of layers on top of each other without too much structure throughout the entire song. That fact adds a bit of that Dance feel to it, But it seems over packed.
Secondly, Although the rest is too much, The first 40 seconds or so isn't enough. I wouldn't hold onto the hope of top 50 for too long man, In all honesty. This song definitely deserved some recognition. But I don't think its that great overall.
Put more structure into your future works and you'll have much better outcomes. You can obviously get good quality sound clips and so on. Now you just have to plan things out a little more before completing them.
Still a good piece.

Personally, I would agree with you. I saw this more as a lucky break rather than a coordinated plot for top pick. I didn't even work that hard on this, compared to some of my other works which I put in a lot of thought and skill, and they barely got 40 listens. Other thing is I prefer a review with the harsh truth, like your's, rather than an empty pat on the back (no offence to anyone who was going to just say great job or something).
Only thing is, I wasn't the one who made it #7, the audience did. What can I say? Its what the people want =).
Thank you for your very helpful advice!

I looked at the name, And had to listen.
This reminds me a little bit of Stampers 'Dick Clubbin'. I think your beat was absolutely awesome with this piece. Definitely the high point of listening to this was hearing the background to the song. As for flaws.
I understand that this was made by you as a joke more than anything, But I think you could have made the lyrics flow a little better. Sometimes you had big pauses just so the rhyme would exist. I think you should make another funny song like this, And put even more effort in.
Its brilliant. In its own little world.

What distortion?
Obviously if this was a problem, You have successfully fixed it. I noticed basically no distortion in the song whatsoever. Other than that 'former flaw' being fixed, The entire audio was pretty damn good. Like all your music seems to be.
Although, I think this seemed pretty plain for a techno song. Don't get me wrong, It was clear and put together well, But I think for a Techno style song to really get mass attention, It needs to have some kick that other ones don't. This was perfect, But lacked that new, original feel.
Overall - Another accomplishment for you.

thanx! Ya, the flanger effect i had on the song before was fuckin it up a lil but i removed it. I did try on this song i could say. It was a sort of fresh take on techno so yes, i know it lacked some innovation. But i'm planning to make a techno dance remix of 'My Savior' so that should be good.
Thanks for the review.

I'm sure your able to notice your biggest issues with this song, And if you can't, Maybe you should consider avoiding Audio for a year or two.
- Your microphones quality was atrocious. I mean it couldn't handle it when you started yelling, and it couldn't absorb any noise before that. So I don't know how much that cost you. But if you want to actually make music, You should buy much, much better equipment.
- You spelt the title to this entire entry wrong. Destroying contains a 'Y'.
- Although I saw some minor amounts of promise with the actual music I could hear in the background (Not your vocals), the quality of the file and the length of this song made that look like a spec of gold, under a pile of crap.
- Avoid the scream next time. It sounded, horrible to be completely honest. I suggest you leave this song on your profile forever, So you can look back at it in the future when your making good music, And getting 100's of downloads.
Just, Work on it.

Great electric style song.
I noticed this song in thew top 50 of all time, And the title caught my eye. Anyway, I'm here now reviewing it. The melody was perfect and it had some minor differentials which was a huge plus. I know that a lot of music on Newgrounds has this style, But it seems too repetitive at times.
But overall, Its simple, Well sounded, And clear.
Good stuff.

It sucks doesn't it.
Basically most people who view your song, and normally ones who have their own audio, Will zero bomb you. In order to make their musics score seem more acceptable. Its stupid, and pathetic, But it happens. Just know that you got yourself a five from me :)
Anyway, The piece is really good. I nice, flowing trance piece. One of the things I liked and really stood out for me was how the song actually 'entered'. It started slowly and eventually got to a good point and kept from there. You had some differences throughout the song which is always a plus. As some Trance songs seem too repetitive.
Although, This song was a little on that side too. But still, Perfect ten.
Believe me, I don't give them often.
Author's Response:
Indeed.
All trance varies in repetitiveness, it sets a groove, puts you in a trance. :P
Thank you very much!

Oh Shucks.
Once again you break into the Audio top 50. I dare say your earning yourself the reputation of one of the best Artists on Newgrounds. Also, another accomplishment, Your music was used in 32 entries so far. That's a huge amount and you should be stoked with yourself - I'm sure you are.
The beginning ten seconds or so comes across a little bit cluttered to me, But not a big deal at all. I know Techno music has a tendency to overlap a lot and that's why its used the way it is. So, No credit withdrawn for that.
Your music skills, That's madness ;)

You release a master piece.
You've been able to capture the essentials of a techno style song. When its about 1 minute exactly in and you get a bit of an instrumental going, Its my favorite part by far. Really good. As stated before, Newgrounds has a lot of Techno music, But this stands out as one of the very best by a long shot.
You managed to mix the music up a bit, rather than a lot of techno 'songs' that go the exact same for five minutes with the occasional extra beat once or twice. You've mixed it up properly and that's credit to you man.
Top stuff - Really.

It seems to be a good, solid piece.
Hip hop wouldn't be my best grounds to get extremely technical with though. I still think this is a good backdrop and could be used by some of the best hip hop artists in the entire business, Honestly.
Although, I think your biggest flaw in this was the sound that came across as a bit of a screeching noise, or a screaming style thing, Hard to put my finger on it. It came in every 10 seconds or so, I saw no need for this, And think it just made it sound silly at times.
Overall though, Excellent :)
