TaintedLogic's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Build]

It's okay...I liked the ominous beginning, especially with the drums, but it was a little slow in general. The strings were hiding under the beat for most of the song- it could've been much more dramatic, as I see that's what you were going for. Also, there could have been a lot more dynamic contrast before/after 1:08. It's not a bad start. I just think it could be more emotional. I encourage you to keep working on it. ;)

I agree with everything you said. It definitely could have been better, but as it was just for testing purposes, I didn't exactly make it to the best of my abilities. If I ever do choose to do a finished version (Which I probably will at some point), I'll take into account everything you mentioned. Thanks!

[N-3-M0R3]

It's so upbeat and cute! I love it! ^^ The melody is really happy and engaging. The whole thing is really catchy. The transition at 2:02 was a little sudden for me, however. I also think you use a lot of the same instruments in many of your songs. Maybe going forward you could try exploring other genres. Still, love your work, Blackjack213. It brightens my day! :D

[Buttery Epic Popcorn]

Really interesting...I like the instruments and melodies. You incorporated the speech well, however in general I don't usually like spoken words used in excess in a song...but that's just me. I'm not sure how the speech relates to the "buttery epic popcorn" theme, but after :22 the song was pretty catchy and well-structured. Loops well too. Good job! ^^

The speech from Robert Frost just felt right at the time. However, in retrospect "What the Hell was I thinking when naming this thing Buttery Epic Popcorn?"

[we're gonna die DEMAKE]

I love the cute instruments! The beat and the breakdown at :40 were really catchy. Nice job with the irony- dying young is so cute and happy! Really good remix. I'm looking forward to hearing some more of your original tracks. :D

I like the melody and the instruments. It has a pleasant sort of simplicity to it, with a nice videogame-ish feel, too. One suggestion I would make is to connect the instruments more. At :17, :34, and many other places in the song, there seems to be an accent on every note, which might have something to do with the instrument you used. It makes the piece feel a little choppy, which I don't think you were going for. Anyway, overall it's a nice piece, and I like the ending, too. Keep up the good work! ;)

[[RM] - Experiments WIP]

Well, I like the intro and it's pretty catchy, but I feel like some of the instruments were pretty distorted and muddy, especially at :46. I like the climactic nature of it, and the rhythm and beat, for that matter, but some of those instruments sound more like sound effects to me, with the "whoosh" noises, especially at :46. I don't know if it's just not my style or what, but I feel like there should be more of a melody at :46 based on "melody-like" instruments. Other than that, it's a well-structured piece, and I like the ending. I encourage you to keep working on it. ;)

[Guinea Pigs]

The beginning was pretty engaging, and I like that crash you have in there, but be careful to not overuse it. The trasition at 1:35 felt a little strange for me. I felt like you could connect the parts before and after it a little more. However, the part after that was really good. I don't think your melodies are boring. The way you ended the song was pretty sudden and strange, too, but my main problem with the song is that it almost feels like 2 different songs with the transiton at 1:35. Still, I think this piece has potential, and I encourage you to keep working on it. Keep up the good work! :)

[Zinity - Welcome home]

I like the dreamy intro, but I think you made it too long, and the transition at 1:11 is a little sudden. I like the instruments, though, and the melody. It's upbeat and catchy. I like the ending, too. Overall, a nice feel-good sort of piece. Keep up the good work! :)
