TaintedLogic's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Kitchen Theatre]

I like this! ^^ It's simple, yet cute and catchy. The instruments are cool, especially the percussion, which makes it sound mechanical in a way. Well-structured, smooth-flowing, an overall solid track, man. Nice job! ;)

BenTibbetts responds:

Thank you!

[Cognitive Dissonance]

Too long, in fact! ;) I like this a lot, though! :D It's catchy and cool and melodic, and has a refreshing sort of vibe to it. That bass at :37 is a little too distorted and edgy for my tastes, but I like the other instruments a lot, as well as the melody/structure/transitions/pretty much everything else. I especially love the variations around 3:00-3:20. The piece really went somewhere, and I like the ending too. Personally, I think less heavy stuff like "Catharsis Theory" is more my style, but I like this nevertheless. I hope you'll post more often, man! ;)

[A Darker World]

I like the simplicity and emotion. The mood is very contemplative. The instruments and harmonies are beautiful. It also has a lot of form to it, which I like. At some points, it seemed like whatever plug-in you used for the crash got cut off somehow, like at 2:34 and 3:07. At 3:02, the percussion seems a little out-of-place. Maybe you should increase the volume a little more gradually. The instrument at 3:55 was a little too penetrating/loud as well. However, I love the transition at 4:15, and how you end the piece with the same simplicity and beauty as how it began. The structure of this piece is deeply meaningful, and it even loops pretty well. :D Once you clean-up the percussion and transitions around 2:34-3:07 and fix that instrument at 3:55, this piece will be completely perfect by my standards. ^^ Excellent work as always, Johnfn! ;D

johnfn responds:

Hmm yes you caught a lot of my errors! LIke my misplacement of the crash. That was just a mistake. This is all really very helpful. Thanks for the detailed and thoughtful review :-)

[It's Confusing...]

Climactic, energetic, and catchy! :D I love the melodies and mood. Some of the instruments felt a little too penetrating for the overall blissful mood, though, like the one at :57. However, I love the full sound of the track as well as the structure and transitions. It's uplifting, but also really cool! ^^ I love what you did with the drums, btw, as well as the variations at 3:26. Overall, pretty awesome piece! :D I've been waiting for a song from you that has the same significance for me as "Take the Risk," and I think I just found it! ^^ Please post more often, DJ Babokon! I love your music! <3 ;)

DJ-Babokon responds:

Thanks for your review man!! I love you!
And I've been pretty busy with other stuff *labels*ahem*EP*cough*so that's why I haven't posted as much. ;)

[Biohome]

I like the atmospheric mood and instruments. I wish it progressed a little faster, and it lacks substance at some parts (like around 1:30), but I liked the melody at 1:48 and the upbeat vibe. The structure was also good, as well as the dynamic contrast and emotion at 2:20. The transitions were rock-solid, btw. You varied it really well, too, and I like the ending a lot! :D Some parts make me think of a happy, animated family in a car commercial for a hybrid or otherwise fuel-efficient vehicle. :) Nice work, Johnfn! ;D

johnfn responds:

Ha yes. I was trying to portray both the outside and the inside of the biodome. However the "outside" bit (the first half) was a bit rushed and lacked as much detail. Your animated family thing is kinda great though. Thanks for the review.

[Stalin]

I like the emotion at the beginning and the constantly changing styles of this piece. It slowly evolved into a more energetic track, and then more of a chill-out vibe. I also like the vocal harmonies at the end, and the instrumentals were really good as always. I would've liked to see a little more cohesion with the different styles, though. I challenge you to make the changes in style more meaningful (maybe you could transition back into a style similar to the beginning at the end?). Still, a cool piece. You certainly deserve all the attention you're getting on Newgrounds, UlfusNG! :D

ulfusNG responds:

Yeah I'm still just trying to show off the styles I can do, I'm going to do a more serious Stalin piece about the gulags later.

[Recovery]

I like the instruments and mood. It's catchy and cool, but I wish it progressed a lot faster. It gets very repetitive by the end, but I like the ambiguous ending and mixing. I think it just needs a little more of a direction to take, y'know? Overall, pretty good work. It has potential. ;)

8-Scars responds:

Thanks, ill try harder next time. However, I feel as if it really didn't much more, but i see what you're saying.
Thanks for the review! :)

[Seraphim's Layer]

It's really catchy and cool. I love the instruments and energy. It progresses pretty fast, which is good, and is well-varied. It flows smoothly and is very well-structured. I love the funky melody at 1:15. I also love how it goes somewhere instead of being pointlessly repetitive, and 2:28 acted as a sort of "arrival point" in that sense. A very unique and interesting piece! It even makes a good loop! Excellent work! ;D

bluebooblue responds:

Thank you very much!!! Yes, I don't like when a song doesn't moves from one point to another,!! I used to have a problem with this because I wanted to make every part of the track different but then I realized repetition is very important u_u thanks a lot for your review, I am going to check on your tracks now!!!
