TaintedLogic's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Music Box Test]

I like the instruments and melody, but it's very repetitive and lacks substance. It doesn't loop that well, and the transitions between the strings and music box, like at :15, are a little rough. I think you have a strong structure here- it just needs to be smoother, as well as a little more engaging. Couldn't hurt to vary it more, either. Pretty good start, though. ;)

Ritz190 responds:

Thanks. yea it was a test to see how well things meshed together. I don't plan on doing too much with it since it was just a test, but I see where you're coming from and I appreciate the criticism, dude!

[Electronic Thoughts]

It's really moody and interesting. I'm not sure I like the vocals, though. At times, it sounded a little too penetrating to fit with the smooth-sounding theme, like at :33. I also thought the parts didn't harmonize very well sometimes, and it sounds way too busy around 1:07. There are a lot of more interesting ways of ending a piece than a fade-out, btw. I still like the instruments, though, and I think it has potential. It just has two contrasting moods right now which don't fit well together- smooth and flowing, and rough and penetrating. You should keep working on it. It's worth it. ;)

Darkceo responds:

ty for the review, i will definitely will take all that into account for when im fixing this song!

[Sea of Grass (Jazz)]

Very calming. :) I like the instruments and mood, although I wish there was a bit more substance at some points. The transition at :59 was a little sudden, but I like how you made it sound like it was improvised (like a lot of jazz is) throughout. It has a nice, cheery little ending, too. ^^ I'd love to hear some of your original work. ;)

SilverPoyozo responds:

Thanks!Yep, it's lacking in a few areas, but I'm glad you liked it =)

[Of the time that's been]

Beautiful! :D I love the mood and instruments. The melody is uplifting, and it's very smooth and flowing. Well-structured, engaging, inspiring! Newgrounds needs more music like this! :D

DkayR responds:

Glad you enjoyed it.

[Black Lotus Dream Suite]

I like the ominous beginning and instruments. I especially appreciated the percussion at 4:27. The drama and emotion is amazing throughout. Well-structured, good transitions, excellent dynamic contrast. A truly amazing composition! ;D

TheDoomrider responds:

I appreciate your kind words and I am very glad that you enjoyed it! Keep on dreaming ;)

[It Doesn't Have to be Luv]

I appreciate the attempt at emotion and all, but I don't think that piano instrument at the beginning really felt...powerful and full enough, y'know? However, I do like the pop-rock feel to it you incorporate in there after about 1:00. You also incorporated the Summer Set samples well. I thought some of your transitions could've been smoother, though, like at 2:00, 2:39, and 3:18. Btw, you probably already noticed, but that Summer Set sample cuts off a little early on "Love." ;) I liked the ending, and it definitely has potential. I just think it needs to flow more. Keep at it, JQiscool. ;)

JQiscool responds:

Hmm. What should I do to make the piano powerful?
PM me.
Pop-rock is a fun genre for me to create, unfortunately I know very little about it.
My transitions have needed work since day 1 of my music making days.
I will work on it!
Thanks for reviewing!

[LHM - Endless Handbag 98']

I like the instruments. It's catchy and has this fresh sort of vibe. I wish the intro progressed a little faster, but I liked the transition at :46 and the melody at 1:05. The vocals didn't quite work for me, however, especially the more low-pitched ones. Overall solid groove, though. Keep at it, man. ;)

DreamEater responds:

ah yes, I had a feeling that the robot vox wouldn't agree with everyone; I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the other bits though ;D next time I'll just have to do ALL the vocals myself ;]
