chrispin's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Drunk Stoned & Friendless]

5 stars because it was unique. The beginning sets the atmosphere pretty well. I wish you guys had the equipment for a proper punk/grunge music band because you guys would have the potential, but I know it'd be hard to afford it all given your financial conditions. Best of luck...

Silo99 responds:

Thanks, I came up with it sitting alone, getting high and drinking beer (fitting right? hah) =) and yes it would much nicer to have better equipment but right now we use Turtle Beach headphones for recording on my computer but originally we were recording using a mic to record to a 4 track that James owns. we wanted to have a cassette of this music as well when we are done. Please review and rate other songs if you want to. I'm trying to get these songs out there as much as possible. Thanks for the review

[Asteroids]

Alright, I have to admit I didn't think this song would be great just listening to the intro. What bad practice, I know, but I like to make the beginning give a preview of what's to come or give a setting/theme for the rest of the song. Needless to say, I as NOT disappointed when I continued to listen. It reminds me of some really good keygen music if you know what I'm talking about.

I absolutely love the creativity you've put into this, reading the backstory. It's an original mesh of different song styles with one leading repeating melody, which is very catchy by the way. The middle part where it breaks into a sort of dubstep style and a different beat is cool. You have a great chord progression going on there too. We need more artists like you here. Way to go man.

TheKeyboardGuy responds:

Thanks for the review man! I didn't know what keygen music is, so I looked it up and found the Crack Intro Wikipedia page, which led me to reading about the Demo Scene. Thanks for leading me to that, I'm actually really interested!

[Crazy Train Cover(rough)]

Whoooooooaaaaaahhh

This is legitimate. It was definitely well-recorded and mixed. It's pretty amazing for a school project. I can only say I would like to see the vocals with a little reverb maybe.

MadameLeota responds:

I'll be sure to add more reverb. Thanks!

[No Time to Lose (Dont Give Up)]

Again, pretty nice

I like the modulation, the bass and percussion style that you use for many of your songs, and the sound quality. The melody is very Frank Klepacki-esque, which is a good feel for industrial songs like this.

adaline responds:

Thanks again for your feedback. You've also introduced me to a composer with music that I am digging. Yo. Yo. Dawg. Cool shit, yo. .. Dawg.

[Kw- Cry's Theme]

Mildly relaxing

I really liked the middle part of the song. It's repetitive, but the flowing, resonating instruments keep it sounding peaceful. I can only say work on the intro. The incessant bass drum is a bit much. You might be able to fix it by just turning down the volume of that instrument. The intro could also use more instrumentation. It seems a little sparse, which makes that bass drum too dominant.

nightsurfermusic responds:

I wanted a slower intro. But meh. :D

[At Arms]

OOoooohhh, that's nice...

I love the percussive background and bass. It really drives the song with that rock/industrial feel. The melody and key changes were nice too. The instruments weren't the best quality, but what can us NewGroundians do. The only reason I voted 9 was because the song didn't loop very well. It needs a more fluid transition with some lead-in to the beginning of the next loop.

adaline responds:

Hooray for constructive criticism! Still getting used to the software used here, the quality of the samples isn't the most top notch out there, true. Could use some work on the looping I guess. Thanks!

[utterly]

Okay...

It has a rap-esque feel to it. Not my cup of tea personally, but I'm sure this would sound a lot better with more of a melody.

FelTiProductions responds:

yea, thanks for the feed back, i hear what you mean, and will incorporate more effort on the melody on my next songs. i might even remake this one.

[^Digital Labyrinth^]

Interesting

It definitely seems to portray a confusing digital maze of some sort. You just need to expand upon all the confusing sounds with a melody. It's neat so far.

monk1 responds:

I'd like to think the whole thing is a melody of digital chaos and tense atmosphere.

[The Battle Of The Evil Clowns!]

Hahahaha whoah... O.o

REALLY CREEPY in a numbers station kind of way! I liked the melodies in between the sections of creepy jumbled madness.

BowserThedestructive responds:

Thank you, the madness might get a sequel if I can come up with one that can be just has weird. Yet catchy.

[Lawlz43]

EMMMM PRETTY GOOD

too much waaah man

Smidly responds:

WAAAAHHH OWAHHHHH CRY SOME MOREEEE
