Smidly's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[It's Snowing]

This was absolutely great. I left it on in te background while I made some tea and damn damn DAYUM it made me feel like I was in a winter wonderland even though it hasnt even snowed yet.

LawnReality responds:

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it! :)

[Tick Tack]

This christmas tune gave me a spook. What do you think you're doing mixing spooky and christmas? You been watching Krampus?

Anyhoo this was actually really nice and would work great as a soundtrack. I really hope I see you more often on the audio portal !

Azhthar responds:

Nope... Not yet, but it´s very high on my too watch list ;) Do they already have music?

[Unknown Planet]

Why is your album a guy? Why is your description a blog post? Why is this song so good despite it all?

When the song first started I was a little worried, it seemed really lo-fi, and not in the way I liked. I was eating my words (thoughts?) when it started building, and oh how it built. Sounds like something out of Deus Ex!

ORI-TAGGART responds:

Thank you very much. Cheers! :D

[The Overworked Elf]

It's so thematic! I wonder if your two lovers are making a flash animation set to this because it perfectly describes the concept you laid out in the author comments?

Anyway fun little piece of music. I guess my only complaint would be that with the amount of repetition you probably could have just made it a little shorter and turned it into a loop. Also I did not particularly care for the bells at the end.

ZipZipper responds:

Perfect.

[Heading Out]

Awww ye

I like it a lot but the main melody synth sounds a bit odd. Also the cymbals on the drums are INCREDIBLY CRISP. I like.

chrispin responds:

I'm so glad I finally have a review!!! Thanks. Yeah the main melody instrument is something I thought I never got perfectly right, but I originally wanted to give the song a sort of derpy feel. As it stands though, it might not fit in well because the quality has been a bit improved since then. I wish I could have made maybe a more complex drum rhythm, but I am particularly proud of what I did with the toms when they're used at the transitions and ending of the song.

[The Original Hood Up Moment]

Play the resurrector and give the dead some life

I'm not sure I find this very good. Maybe refine the melodies or just cut them out and leave a basic drum and bass track.

PrinceLudwig responds:

...This IS a basic drum and bass track. The brass instrument parts/the piano are the best parts of the song. Particularly the piano.

[Needham Underground Beat]

This is really terrible

This is the same quality as like my worst stuff. What exactly did they teach you in music by computer bro? You can't just have one giant jam session and call it a beat. The point of a BEAT is to have repetition and,,,you know...follow an actual beat.

PrinceLudwig responds:

...Teach us? wtf?

It sounds pretty good with the actual singing part, based on my experience of having to perform the song live. The other beats I made are actual repetition and stuff. I went into some whole symbolic discussion about the choppiness of this song and how it represents the NUN and all that. There's a reason for it (it's intentional, artistically).

[Sasquatch from the Future!]

Quite awesome

I could give you some lyrics and even do the vocals if you WANT. However I doubt you would want such a scrub as I.

brianknowsjudo responds:

*shrugs* Sure, I'm up for it :P. I'mma need a singing sample if you have one. I checked your cache of tunes you made and went through a few and couldn't find any voice work. I have lyrics, it's not that long of a song. I greatly appreciate your willingness and time. PM me if you would like to do the vocals. :3

[Still Blastin']

Really great

I really enjoyed it but to be honest this didn't remind me too much of megaman. However that doesn't diminish how wonderful the song!

NemesisTheory responds:

It didn't? Wow, that's too bad. :(
I'm still happy you liked it though!
