buyj3llo's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[[LYE] VR-0 (WIP)]

I was supposed to leave you a review.

The intro is a liar. I was all ready to chill out and relax and then it's got all glitchy and shit. I love it. Smooth melody worked well at both slow and fast paces. Good job on this.

LiNaK37 responds:

Thanks for the review. I've considered making this song longer, and more "technical", but I'll probably never do it, because I'm a lazy bastard.

[[Crysis]Blood, Sweat and Beers]

nice

Good use of samples. The guitar that plays throughout feels like it's being played in an other room. I can barely hear it. Are you actually playing any of the instruments on this or it's it all prerecorded loops?

JackRocker responds:

I linked to the song I sampled in the Comments, dude. The reason the guitar sounds like that is because of the effects I used, plus I wanted it to me more of a background instrument. Thanks a lot of the review, dude!

[JohnnyCrysis (WIP)]

allright

I see where this is going. It'll be nice when it's done. the way it jumps from place to place is a little sloppy, and it's a little one note ( a riff, and drums); but it's just a WIP so it's only going to get better. Good luck with this, it should be nice when it's one.

JackRocker responds:

thanks man. unfortunately, i got a bit lazy, so i don't know if i'll actually revisit this one or not. either way, i'm still working on some stuff, trying to get better at playing, etc. hope i'll have something you'll like up soon. my Hip Hop tracks might be more your thing.

[>Whipperkix<]

alright

okay. There is a lot going on here, so i'm just going to dive right in. Lets start with the beat. Wow thats hectic! It's neat because it gives the song that fast, hard pace like a drum and bass song. However, it starts to feel stagnate after a few times. I would have liked to see the same instruments, but with more variation via new patterns. You did a good job of putting new sounds in there (like 0:47), but even those are the same ratatatatat pattern that the main beat is already capitalizing on. You've got a good base going on with the beat and with more layers and patterns it could really take off.

The main melody is good, I'm not sure if I would have picked the same sound, but whatever floats your boat. I do like the long flowing pad sound that plays in there. It give a great contrast to the jumpiness of the beat. Again ,like the beat, a few more touches and additions to the melody could really bring it to the next level.

I like what you've got going on. It could use some work but it's really shows potential. I'm going to look through some more of your stuff.

SeeNoSanity responds:

Aww cheers man! I was a bit worried people would just rate this 0 and move on. Really, this song was an experiment with faster drums, but thanks for feedback.

[Miyazaki Leap]

cool

pretty neat. It feels a little unfinished though. I don't know if thats because it's short, or there aren't enough textures, or what. The pieces that are in here are great though. I just feel that it could be really good if there was something else to it.

I love the sound that comes in at 0:58. That sound really contrasts well with the piano. It also does a good job of signaling the change in pace. But it's only there for a few seconds then it's over.

gingerspine responds:

Thanks for the constructive review! Yeah, it definitely is too short, but this is actually all of it. I wrote it to go with lyrics and I didn't write any more to make it longer. ^.^
Hopefully I'll be able to make it better, once I have a different programme to use. I'm glad you liked 0:58! That's my favourite part. I was having trouble going smoothly into the second part and just stuck that in there. I didn't think to put it in again; I'll keep that in mind if I do edit it!

[Wrath of Cap'n NikNak Krowsfir]

alright.

I don't know a lot of about metal (or music in general). But this sounds like proper song to me. I think it's cool that you've put so much thought into the meaning and message of the song too. Thats not something you see a lot of on newgrounds. Good job on this one.

CRASHAKEZULA81 responds:

I appericciate you taking the time to review as well even though it's outside of your genre. Thanks a heap!

[grooveT3K - Keep Moving.]

alright, i get it.

I like the way this went. At first it sounded kind of...off. The snare drum sounds like it doesn't belong, then that robot voice hits and it's all kind of weird. However, once the melody hits and the rest of the sounds come together it starts to make sense. By the time the little piano part comes up at1:55 it's all good. It threw me for a loop a little at first, but it really did come together well.

8/10
5/5

grooveT3K responds:

Thanks for your review mate!
Im glad you gave it a chance and you enjoyed it.
I know its sort of has a bit of a slow progressive style to it
Thanks again mate!

[[DJ_ITD] - Crude (WIP)]

aww come on.

Hard hitting. But it ends just as quickly as it starts. Just I thought it was about to go somewhere, it just ends. Come on dude, more. You've got a good thing here. 5/5 for the quality of it though.

djInTheDark responds:

There's a second WIP out, its twice as long and more refined. Check it out!

Thanks for the review!

[nuRea sKeeve]

I like it.

Beautiful. I don't know very much about music at all. I've only heard music like this a handful of times and I'm not very familiar with it. However, every time I do hear it, it always leaves and impression on me. The jittery, clicky percusion sounds. The sparse piano notes. The strings kind of hold it all together underneath. It's a very neat sounding music.

I always like finding new genres of music because they carry with them an incredible sense of discovery. It's like seeing a new color for the first time.

Quarl responds:

woah, thanks for the review man. glad you liked it :)

[frostbite 50000]

awesome

Love it. Wouldn't change a thing. It's sounds like it was made on a system thats in between the gameboy and the gameboy advance.

That little solo that hits at 0:40! - so cash
