Quarl's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[I'm With Stupid (New)]

SKA

Sweet ska jesus batman. Newgrounds needs more of it. Glad you decided to upload you're crew. You need a better recording, but I can tell you guys have some serious fun...unless your one of those guys who records only himself playing and doesn't do shows...hmmm, lyrics=generic, but whatever. At least the guy singing isn't that bad. He's not great, but he's not horrible, so he's like, right there in the middle. Right where a ska vocalist needs to be.

The drums are very genre specific, horns, guitar...it's all pretty much been done, but you guys nailed the sound. I might recomend trying to branch out and try sounding a little more original, but...eh. It doesn't really matter that much. As long as your having fun. That's really what matters most. You get my 5.

AceIH responds:

I'd consider some of the other songs I've posted to be more original...Faux was an attempt to do something a bit different, and even The Performer was written as a ska song (but that one I had to perform on my own, because my ska band didn't like it).

But yeah, even if it isn't our most original, it is, hands down, the favorite of most everyone (not including me) in the band, just because of that energy.

Anyway, thanks for the review! For a second, it looked like none of my new submissions were getting any attention.

[~EnV~ Heaven]

Purrrrrrrrrr

Downloaded the preview a while back, so getting into the track was really easy for me. This song is so sick. There are some thing I liked better about the preview (it was more straight forward.) I got a little bored when the chorus wasn't playing.

I've never really been a big techno/trance fan due to the fact that i'm a drummer and the rhythem kills me (four to floor just isn't my pie) but it's not like it's bad. In fact, you accomplished exactly what you set out to do with it, so my dissaproval there is only a personal prefrence, and shouldn't be taken into account next time you set out to make a track. Really, if I was into it, i'd really like it.

Aside from that, everything sounds simply awsome. Just keep up the good work man. Really, I have to stop by your page more often. (Side note. After hearing the track loop a few times, I don't get as bored with the other sections. It sounds fine.)

hahaaahaah ahahshfahsfvah ahsfhs eg, drums. :P

haha,ah ah a haHA VAAHHHAAHHAHHAHAHAHAHA AAAAAAHHHHH!!!!! Seriously though, this tickled me a couple of times. You sound just like this kid in my band. Right down to the rocken out rebel yell.

[Level 6, Alfred.]

Nice music, bad sound.

If you can't decide on a genre, just go with misculaneos or whatever. It's cool, alot of stuff gets thrown into that category :P

You have some nice stuff going on in this track. The melodies are nice, but the instruments sound a little weak. Try playing with them a bit, make em sound a little more powerful or something. Other than that, you got some nice stuff going on here. Keep on keeping on :D

[Para-Noid,Karbon - Malfun]

Ahhh???

I said I wasn't going to drop a review, but I just noticed that you suffered from the in justice of a zero vote parade. Fuck those brats. This track deserves better...honestly. I hate immature little snobs. They probably don't even listen to the tracks. The only track that deserves a zero, is one with nothing on it. Honestly, there should be a hook up, that allows mods to follow zero voters and ban them or something. Really though, this track is sick.

[PN and YB Let the Pianos]

Hmmm....

Trying to keep in mind that it's not your style...

Hmm, sounded a little weak. I'm not trying to insult you, it was nice for what it was, but I think you could have used a stronger drum. It sounded cheap. Not just the snare, but the bass and the hi hats sounded pretty bad. The rhythem wasn't that bad, it was just the sound of it.

The whistle melody was iery and cool. The claps fit nicely. I think the synth cold have used a bit more bass behind it. For a song titled "let the pianos play" it could have used a little more piano. The little piano melody was just, too simple. In anycase, the song loops really well. I didn't even know when it was looping :P

I'd say to go back and work on this some more, but address the problems your reviewers leave you with. I think this song could be more powerful. It's just missing stuff. It's not bad, it just doesn't sound like your using profesional equipment/presets. I don't know how true that is, maybe not at all, but if that's what it sounds like, then it doesn't really matter whether you did or didn't.

And please, don't look at my review like it's an insult. I'm just trying to help. You have some really cool tracks. You're dnb stuf is sick. I'm not sure if hip hop is where you should invest your talent. I think it belittles your real talent. I'm listening to malfunction right now,...damn sick. I'm giving this a three, but I'm giving malfunction a five...I'd drop a review on it too, but I fell like I've typed up enough here. Again, i'm sorry if I sound condensending or something.

Para-Noid responds:

Hey, there's always the critics man. Where ever you go, you see them. Some are good ones, some basically slap your face.

[Believe (StereoTactik Remix)]

Teehee.

Holy cow, you put alot of work into this track. So much more than the preview...guh, I loved that sound at the begining. Right cool man, right cool. The vox from the original track sounds so, appropriate, everywhere you used it. The intro was so slick, magical, sexy. The drums,...yessssss, Basssssss, ARRR.

hmm, It doesn't sound as full though, it's deffinatly missing something I think. It's clean, but you could have used some background here and there...it's a little too clean if you ask me. Arguably though, it sounds better when I turn the volume up :P

Dunno, It's still good all around, those ambient melodies make me quite happy. Quite so. Indeed, jolly-o

StereoTactik responds:

I'm glad you liked this so much!

I also kinda thought that the song was missing something while I was making it, but I tried not to overdo it and keep it simple, so I ended up just working more on the stuff I already had down.
Thanks again! Check the Benny Hill mix!

Hmmm, the piano sounded nice. Wasn't very complicated, but it was well composed and sexy like. The main melody really dug into me. The effected stand up bass sounding thing might have been a little too prominent though as my speakers could pick up...either some fuzz or the plucking or reverb or something...dunno, something about that sounded off. The way it accented every note in 4/4 was a little too repetitive as well...one note...over and over again...garrrr. At least the high pitched whatever noise on the up beat helped a little. The ambient noises fading around were a nice touch too...the synth melody works well too with the composition as a whole, it accents the piano nicely...most of the track accents the piano nicely.

This is pretty good. It needs alot, but it holds pretty solid on it's own. Next romp out, try playing with more piano. I'd say you did a good job here, really! Keep up the good work, and I hop my feedback dosn't come off as mean. I'm just trying to help :P
