More like Funk than Psychedelic

Just the kind of music I want to hear when I'm sitting at home alone.

Just the kind of music I want to hear when I'm sitting at home alone when the power suddenly goes out.

Just the kind of music I want to hear when I'm sitting at home alone when the power suddenly goes out and my girl suddenly bites real hard on my dick and screams, "Oh my God! The power is out!" while I'm bleeding profusely and screaming a lot.

Just the kind of--

Oh forget it.

I don't even know why I voted Five. Funk guitar isn't the true test of psychedelia. You have to have echo, despondent notes, and less emphasis upon any sort of percussion. It isn't fucking music. That's Funk. Psychedelia is mental breakdown music.

But whatever. It sounds cool, and it's good background noise when composing a scene. It guides the animator into what setting and mood would fly. In that sense, this song deserves to hang out in Newgrounds and inspire a dickweed author. Let me know if you want someone to shout out for you.

Nice but the Intro is Shaky

Leave out the voice-over effects at the beginning and you'll have something creepy in and of itself. The light guitar work adds to the unsettling mood.

Five.

Nothing but Your Hand?

Instead, you had fuckin' kittens, judging by that voice of yours.

Fuck it. You must have lost that bitch to Cooldude or something.

You deserved it.

Kidding.

Voted Five.

Foundation for an Excellent Song

This is a grim tune about psychiatric disorder and suicide, right? The lyrics don't need the touch-up. The music has enough class and groove to warrant a female vocalist (bear with me on this idea!) to get the pitch and octave up a notch. Next thing I would touch up is the emotion. It really has to sound like the vocalist is about to break down and cry over this senseless death.

Other than that, this has the workings of a prog-rock classic. It's terribly spooky, I'll give you that. It's also smooth and unsettling, a difficult combination accomplished only through jazz genres. In that sense, it is safe to say that you're giving yourself an excellent range that nobody can deny. Now all you have to do is get a willing lady vocalist and collab endlessly. If you don't like your vocals, either take voice classes or recruit someone who not only does, but others like also.

Voted Five (the song is above and beyond most submissions here, anyway).

Kor-Rune responds:

Thanks! You pretty much hit the nail on the head with the meaning. I wrote it about suicidal thoughts in today's youth, and also how they feel like they're so cut off from the world, and in something deeper.

I certainly would love a female vocalist actually. A lot of my tones and music seems that it would fit for a female-lead going on. I'll be on the lookout for one, maybe take a couple of my songs and give them to female vocalists around the internet, and see if they'd like to sing them. Thanks for the suggestion, I haven't really seen it before!

Interesting So Far

Now finish the fucking thing!

Needs to be Redone

If, by any shot, you could bribe Xenogenocide with some delicious licorice-flavored shit, then perhaps the two of you could redo this tune. The infamous "metal guitar" effect in FL tends to grate on the ears, but you've composed something that could work as speed-thrash metal, and Xeno has trained himself in such a style.

As it is, it kind of sucks, but it's only the instruments talking; the composition warrants a revision that does it justice.

Hits the Register Far Too Hard

I had a hard time swallowing its aesthetics (if any) because the static and distortion hits the headphones a little too hard, enough to crackle and snap. That ain't good, especially if it puts everything else deep into the background. You'll have to try harder and maybe change your approach for the next set of industrial tracks you intend to submit.

First Man Pissing Ain't So Bad, Either.

Same here BMI. 'Cept I don't drink, but I'll try my hand at wailing or death-growl. I don't fuckin' care anymore. When are we gonna organize a convention for these guys, anyway? I bet you if a bunch of the musicians in the portal assembled into a band, it would technically pass itself off as a super-group, like Chickenfoot or Them Crooked Vultures, only fifty times as effective at annihilating the rest of the human population.

Voted Five because few have the precision and dedication of this full-time shit-eating slacker from Prickland! Oh, and the song rocks. Yeah.

R E S P E C T

At least I have an explanation behind your alleged absence. Being on #4 kind of sucks unless you skip around and worry about the track order later.

The brief voice-over is a little cheesy and perhaps not the best acted, but that's just a frill you can play around with to all eternity until it fits the mood.

You don't need the fastest fingers for the frightening feelings you get from this song... only, don't let it fade out so quickly, if it fades to silence; an abrupt crunch of an end might be better.

This sounds like a track that exists in the upper half of any album, even without correcting anything except the mastering. I look forward to the finished product, but if you're worried about finishing, why not solicit aid from the NG community? Don't forget that there are plenty of talented mo's here, so you don't have to trudge through alone. If, however, you prefer to pull this off as a singular effort, even then... we got your back covered.

Rock on!

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Thanks dude. Yeah, it was kinda cheesy..because I just tossed it in there..making shit up as I go along. I've filled it for the album version with something better. :D

As for soliciting NG's, I definitely have taken up that end as well. :D Newgrounds has some serious talent. Just listen to the homo's stuff below this response!! haha. Anyways, yeah. That is the reason for the absence. :D

Thanks as always for your thoughts and support, dude. Kickass.

Pristine and Heartfelt

I got you an extra hundredth of a rating. The song works even without its emotional birth origin. My condolences on your loss. Stay true to yourself and others so you'll have the chance to meet her again, okay?

May God bless you. And keep up the hard wankery!

When one is drained of all humor, anything beautiful is met with one of two things: disdainful worry or worrisome disdain. Anything ugly is met with violence. Flash is complex and beautiful, not a toy. Keep that in mind... or things get ugly real quick.
