buyj3llo's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Lightning Sparks]

So conflicted.

95% of this is great. But that synth sound that comes in at at 0:07 (and it comes back at 0:55 with a vengeance) is awful. Sorry but it just sounds so atonal. I'm seriously not trying to be mean, but it ruins an otherwise amazing song. I love the percussions, variety, and overall pacing of the track otherwise; But when that goofy sound hits I just start frowning. I'm voting 5 anyway because you've obviously got chops.

typeMARS responds:

thx for the feedback! i just noticed :p

[+=+=+Audionics+=+=+]

great.

I'm not really a fan of random voice clips, but this song uses them in a way that makes them fell integral. I found this song really interesting, especially when the main melody came in. I didn't expect the song to go in that direction. It starts off kinda sparse and spooky, but ends cheerful and bright.

[///Fractals]

neat.

I like all the synth work here. I love the way it builds and the way that it's gated; perfect amounts of both. I do feel that the beat is a little in the background though; I wish it had more presence on the track.

Kendotronic responds:

Thanks! As for the beat, I unfortunately mastered this track with a woofer, so the kick is there, but it's set super deep. Try listening with a good set of headphones or computer speakers with a sub, it makes a HUGE difference.

[N*E*O*N]

Very nice.

It sounds a little goofy at times (opening sound). But you pull it all together and make the sounds work. There is a fair amount of variety here and it keeps the whole track feel fresh throughout. 7:31 is a little long for me though.

[Cybertronic Excursion [RD2010]]

WOW.

I was looking through my favorite artists list and I saw your name. I was like "who the fuck is this and why did I fav him?" Then I listened to like 2 of your songs and I was like "HOLY SHIT!" lol, I'm sorry I even doubted you for a second. So much variety in this thing, so many sounds, so energetic, love the chopped up "pump it up" voice, love all the great synth work, love the beat, love the the way it transitions from one section to another, I love everything about this. It sounds like ridge racer on acid. Don't ever stop dude, you're great.

SHADOWFOX2 responds:

LMFAO I will remember this review forever and always
I was trying to vary the voice and put even more robotic voices in but I didn't get around to it.
Even the beginning of the track was something I forgot I had 'til the end
Elated to hear you remembered why you fav'd me in the first place
You've been one of those users who've had me fav'd but I could never tell what you liked from me [the reason why you fav'd]
That's great though, and I love Ridge Racer 8D
Thanks for the memorable review!!

[Ghost Towns]

really nice.

This sounds great. I could see this being used in a variety of situations; most of them tense of creepy. I don't understand why this is rated so low.

[@<<<<<<<< Dance Trance >>>>>>@]

scarey.

Some of these sounds are spooky and very low tech sounding. It makes the entire song sound like a halloween themed game for the sega genesis. If that was the intented effect, then the squeaky toy sound ruins it. That was very goofy and out of place. The song you've put together here isn't awful, but the sounds used are. Changing those to something more substantial could really be a nice step in the right direction. Keep making music.

dacookup responds:

Thanks Fa DA Review !!!! The Squeak Toy Is My Signature... And I can only get better !!!

[Holding Saturn's Finger]

sounds like an early PS1.

I like the beat, sounds like trip hop. The glitchy part at the end that you said was an afterthought was actually my favorite part. The main synth is a little dreary and doesn't match the punchy-ness that the beat has, but it's alright. Overall, It's a nice little tune. 5/5

pookicker responds:

PS1 and Sega Saturn, some of the best times in my life :)

Ugh, perfect word, dood, dreary. Dreary is how I've been feeling, been trying to break out of that funk.

Also, I removed that Who Are You midi remix you commented on. One of my friends said almost the exact same thing you did, nice sounds but soul-less in comparison to the original. It's like a testament to me burning out a little bit, me remaking one of my tunes means I'm out of ideas entirely.

Thanks for reviews, man.

[Temporary Crown]

you and I.

You wrote "One day I and you will get there." But it's suppose to say "One day YOU AND I will get there." Gosh, learn how to grammar, people; It's not that hard. This is whats wrong with society today, people just don't care about anything anymore. What's happening to us? When I look around me all I see is filth.

oh and the song... it's guess it's alright, whatever. 5/5

NKAT responds:

Focus your hate on something else buyj3llo, this grammatical-policing campaign is futile, trust me, it is a different code around here, different code keep it down, hold it down, you know what I am saying. NSFW. Hey brother, I appreciate the votes and reviews regardless.

[Vampire Slide]

why is it called vampire slide?

so fucking cheerful. The bass sounds like it has a double layer on it. Like there is the regular "ump thump" bass sound, but in the background there is a little buzzing synth that mirrors the bass. I LOVE THAT. do it again.

NKAT responds:

Very happy dude. Have you ever made your favorite song? This is mine. I like to listen to it. You voted and reviewed so I am all smiles no joke. Thanks buyj3llo, you have made millions, so-to-speak, for me! Respect dude.
