GronmonSE's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Anger inside]

Sweet Lord...

The recording quality is excellent O: Nice and heavy, rather short and repetitive though. Still, keep it up, 5'd.

DarKsidE555 responds:

Thanks a lot, glad you enjoyed!

[I Like to Hit Things]

Very nice.

Y'know, this -screams- clown music. It's got that...comical feeling to it IMO. Despite the lack of effects, it's still a good track because it doesn't really need any. You managed to pull off a tempo change very nicely too. I don't really mind the repetitiveness because I hear enough variation for such a short track. I'm more into emotional classical songs and I have to admit that I never really liked comical-sounding piano songs, but from an unbiased point of view, it's a great track. Nice job.

-Review Request Club-

WritersBlock responds:

Thanks! I appreciate the nice review.

[PetrifiedMarch]

Not bad.

This reminds me so much of God Lives Underwater for some reason <3

Very amazing vst's you got, they sound really good and the lead is rather catchy. Not a fan of the drums, but the rest is pretty good. Nice work.

Bunny-master responds:

Apparently not of love for these drums, but I gotta say they really sound very fitting to me. Ah well, we're all different. But uh, thanks for the love!

[We Are Friends]

Hmmm...

No votes and 22 listens? For shame.

The piano could have used some effects to avoid sounding digital. The bass sounded a tad bit distorted, but eh, don't mind it really, and it's probably just me.

The repetitiveness is what kills this song. It sounds pretty and all, but it's just the same thing over and over again, needs variation, mate. Adding a melody would have helped the song tremendously. Voting 4 to make up for the lack of votes, but I'd give a 3.

DeusExMagna responds:

Thanks, man! I might go back to this one here soon and resubmit it later this coming week. I agree that the piano is a tad jagged, but that can be fixed easily enough. The bass, on the other hand, was supposed to be a little distorted, but in retrospect I didn't quite achieve what I'd set out to do with it-- the bassline, that is.

I might record a live guitar track later on, just to fill the song out. I figure that could be rather interesting. Maybe even some vocals-- hell, why not?

Okay, getting ahead of myself. Thanks for the review! If you're interesting, there might be a newer version here next week.

[Porque Si]

Wow haha.

Me recuerda a "Maggot Brain", de Funkadelic. It's pretty good, keep it up.

Gian responds:

Haha, Funkadelic eh? the sound in the intro have a weird meaning, It is from a card with sound that my girlfriend gave to me in san valentines day hehe.. and I just had the idea to make it a song, and give a meaning to that melody.. And the song feels awesome if you close your eyes and just fly with the sound.. Most of my music is like that hehe.. well, enough said! thank you :P

[Whore on Newgrounds Today]

Bitchin'

No other words can describe it, nice job.

jnry3 responds:

Hey thanks! ^_^

[Slayer - Raining Blood Cover]

Eh...

@LastEncore: Gee, I wonder why. Maybe because it's a -cover-, good sir? The original song was written by Slayer, and GB clearly gives credit to them.

Anyway. I like the actual version a lot more. I honestly don't see the point in covering songs and submitting them to the AP unless you add your personal touch to them. And the drum work was just....terrible. I respect you as an artist, but I prefer your original material ;)

Regardless, gave it a 4.

GoreBastard responds:

Thanks for the constructive criticism man.
I totally agree, this sounds FUCKING SHIT!!! I rushed the drums and was too lazy to fix the countless guitar mistakes, of which there should have been none, since the song is so easy to play! baahhh!

Cheers and beers

[dude...your girls a bitch]

Eh..

The riff's quite decent. The drums nice serious work though. The beat is not bad, it's just that the samples suck. You should bring out the kick drum more and change that horrible crash cymbal. I can't hear the snare either.

Gave it a 4 for effort, but really, the drums should be fixed. Bitchin' intro by the way, made it yourself or got it from somewhere?

696-dregon-696 responds:

thanks man just messing around with difrent things right now
and im absolutely no good and makeing comp genarated beats

but i got the sample from mcpeepants.net its like a athf fan site with audio clips
and eps.

[++ Two Smoking Roses ++]

Hmmm.

Gotta love when you get an idea and decide to work on it before it goes away, eh? The rhythm an the beat work together, giving it that -slight- spanish feeling to it. The string choice are alright IMO (...or is it a trumpet? Can't really tell), but the composition itself is great.

Nice job, save for the repetitiveness.

kelwynshade responds:

Thanks, yeah, it's very repetitive. Yes, they are trumpets, but it does sound kind of like strange strings as well.

This is one of those songs where I didn't truly intend to pour any time into. I need to do things like this more often since I usually tend to forget ideas often.

[Quantum Laboratory]

Hah.

FPC drums from the guy who suggested me not using them? Osnap son, osnap ;P That crash cymbal is what gave it away (and if it's not FPC, Jesus Christ, shoot me alive).

Still, the song's excellent. I absolutely LOVE the glitched drums. The lead that comes in sounds quite good and catchy. The variation in the song keeps it unpredictable and interesting, very nice job on that. The overall mood of the song is, .for a lack of better words, pretty.

My apologies for not being able to deliver a thorough review, that's simply because I find this song to be great. Thanks for review one of my tracks and sorry for returning the favour so late. Keep it up ^ ^

Suspended-3rd-Chord responds:

good ear ;) ... but yeah, I hate to be hypocrital when I review stuff, but it happens >_< I find a lot of flaws in my work but sometimes just cant fix them, or am too lazy. in this case, this track was made several months ago (but posted only one month ago), I should replace the default samples with something more original sounding.

thank you much for your words and good score! no worries at all about returning a review late or not thinking you are detailed enough (you're fine, I talk too much :D). i dont want people to feel obligated on returning reviews unless they want to-I just like listening and giving in depth feedback on other's works. Thanks again!
