TaintedLogic's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[the elephant room]

Upbeat, cute, funky, and well-structured! I love the instruments and beat too. Transitions were rock solid, especially at 2:35, and I liked the ending as well. You did it again, Blackjack213! ^^

[Promance]

The melody and beat were pretty good, but that melody instrument is really penetrating. I like the transition at :25, it loops really well, and the harmonies are good. That instrument is just really in-your-face, if you know what I mean. I don't think that's the mood you were going for, and I suggest you find an instrument that's a little more...cute-sounding. Sorry. Maybe that's just me being intolerant, but, anyway, keep up the good work. ;)

DJaxsNG responds:

It's ok.. I know what you mean. I thought it was annoying the more I started listening to it.. I have many instruments that probably could of turned out better. Thanks for your opinion and thanks for listening.. :)

[Lost in the Jungle]

I like the mood and instruments. The structure of it is also really well done. I like the simple little melodies, and everything meshes together really well. It does get a little repetitive, and I wish there was a little more emotional/dynamic contrast, but it's still a really strong composition, and it loops well, too. Great job, again, Scrabbit! :D

ScrabbitTheRabbit responds:

Thank you :] I agree it needs a little more contrast. I did try that originally, but it didn't fit the game very well. I think, if I did it now, I'd be able to have a more varied piece that still fit though. I might go back and see what I can do with it, actually.

[New Remix (House attempt)]

I like the beat and the bass, and it's really climactic, which is good. The instruments and melody are good, although it progresses pretty slowly and is a little repetitive. I think it's still within the realm of your style, but I understand that this was a big step for you, Matt, and it's definitely worthwhile! It would probably make a great loop if it progressed a little faster. Great job, but I think you should keep working on it! ;)

Dylnmatrix responds:

Thanks man. I definitely will keep working on it! Would you say it sounds like House or is it still Trance? I'm still pretty clueless when it comes to differentiating genres.

[Artist's Block Sucks]

Okay, I give up. I have to review this. Matt, I know this isn't the new genre I've been waiting for, but this is nonetheless an awesome track. I love the dreamy intro, and the instrument at :33 was absolutely engrossing. The transitions, the instruments, the melodies- everything I love about your music in six minutes (the length, btw, is understandable- you kept me engaged). The tempo changes also were really cool and interesting. Well-structured, uplifting, probably one of my favorite trance tracks on NG. The ending was also fitting. Amazing work! :D Sorry I didn't review this earlier. I was stubbornly waiting for your complextro/house/dubstep song. Keep it up, man! ;D

Dylnmatrix responds:

Thanks for the review man. Due to this being made during my art block, I was starting to think it wasn't a good song at all, but thanks for changing my mind on that. Your reviews mean a lot to me :)

[Un_cherished Memories]

It's pretty...unique. :) It progresses really slowly, though, and is a little repetitive at times. The transitions at :46 and 1:31 really should be smoother. The choice of instruments was interesting, and can work, but I think better transitions are needed as said. The beat is nice and the piece has a strangely comforting feel to it in general. Good structure, but the intro probably shouldn't be so long. I like the ending, though. Overall, it definitely has potential. I encourage you to keep working on it. ;)

[Final Battle WIP2]

The melody is pretty good, and it's catchy and all, but I think the instruments are a little too penetrating. I like the structure and style of it, though. 1:14 is very funky- definitely a favorite part of mine. Your transitions were good and it loops pretty well. I just think you should be careful about where you make certain instruments stand out. You should keep working on it, but good start. ;)
