Kweaks's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[{BPS} Reduco Ex Nihilum]

One of the best.

The synths in this are really cool and have that powerful edge to them, but don't sound harshly powerful (Think PWM).

My favorite parts in this song would have to be 0:29 and 1:51 because of the combination of the higher synths with the lower ones.

This song is really damn catchy, though. Makes me think of inner city lights getting dimmer and brighter as someone drives through the city.

As much as I like to joke about the part at 3:21 and 4:15 sounding like kids with straws, it's a good transitional pattern in the song.

Also, if you skip to the end and listen to it loop, it's practically seamless. It's like a song/loop hybrid. If I wasn't paying attention I may have listened to the song twice. Definitely another good aspect in this song to me as I can let it repeat if I'm busy and not get annoyed with any cuts in-between.

thanks bro.

[(L4D) Rave Tank]

The Tank has glowsticks now.

This is really nice though. You should port it to your 360 so you can play it while the Tank is approaching. Damn tanks.

Next up: Rave Witch? lol

BudGPStudios responds:

That'd be kinda hard to do lol

[Safety Inhalant]

I love this loop.

The chords in this and the bass just give me that sort of Gran Turismo vibe like Scath said... I just really dig this and think I'll use it for the power of 3 project I'm making.

Please make more like this in the future.

putzpie responds:

Great, I'd love to see it used in more submissions. I'm definately working on more like this one.

[Quick,,]

Pretty Good.

You don't seem too confident about this loop, and you probably don't expect a big review, but here you go:

It's really simple, and I won't bug you about that because you already said that in the comments.

However, I kind of like this loop because it sounds like menu music. I think if you added a little more depth to it and for whatever reason I was making a menu for a game or something, I would use this song.

The notes tied together well though, and I think the most important thing to being a musician is knowing how melodies and harmonies add to the atmosphere of the song.

The bass and the bells with the almost simple drum beat in the background just make this loop very chill, and relaxing. If you have ever played Crash Bandicoot 2, and The Sims, you would agree that there are elements to the music of both of these games present in this loop.

Nice job.

spikel responds:

Hey, thanks man. No I didn't expect a big review at all! This was very helpful though and yes, the song is very incomplete. It's just I've had a bit of a writer's block for awhile now and I haven't been able to make anything good. I wanted to release something so I came up with this. Will definitely work on it and make it fuller and better.

[Dramatic Reading - Xaos PM]

Lol

A righteous parody of a whiny member. FYNDIR's voice and your editing made this voice over an extreme win in my book.

Rig responds:

Hooray, you read the description!

[TBBAM Club Mix]

I've had enough of your...

BULLSHIT!

But you strayed from your original work a bit so it was p. intense.

BudGPStudios responds:

Lolbro.

[Honky Honk, Baby]

LOL

This song made me shit myself. You made my day, bro.

Yoinks responds:

I'm glad you liked it. Thx

[Organic System 2008 - RdM]

Awesome.

I love Benassi's stuff, and you nailed it right on the head, while adding your own spin. Fived and faved.

Bahdshah responds:

Cool!! thanks for your support! i know the ending was random and the clapping was kinda wierd but thanks =D

[Abode de Ordansa]

Nice.

The simple percussion and light strings blended well together. Kind of gave me a rainforest native vibe a little bit, or something that would be put in a Crash Bandicoot game :D

And that's not bad at all.

Ultratonic responds:

Haha, dude you're totally right. Thanks for such a high rating! Crash was the shit dude! You don't know how huge of a complement that is. =)

Take it easy brother!

[Special Day]

Well Done.

I liked this song.
I think it fit the "indie" category very well, even if it was a solo performance.
The guitar and vocals fit together well, and the lyrics had meaning to them (being afraid that his fiancee won't recognize him)
It was a nice listen, and easy on the ears.

CluppHead responds:

Wow! Thank you so much. I was actually really worried about the category I placed it in. I didn't realize at the time that the category was under a main genre of Metal and Rock. But I always thought that Indie meant Independant, meaning haven't been signed to a major label. That And I couldn't find any other category that seemed to fit. The last song I posted seemed easy, because it was tragic. Well anyway, thanks for the review and please stay tuned for more!
