crud's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mysterious Temple, 3D]

This is not bad

Good work in this song. I like the drum and bass genre, and this is definitely a good one. I understand the difficulties of coming up with creative drum lines, so i wont knock you on the repetitiveness of the drum loops. But i liked the overall feel of the song, fast, and dancy. I just took off points for the dryness of it. and by that i mean, it didn't have enough thick chords or synth. ambience , you know? it just had a lot of punchy stuff, work with some more soft long synths, it'd like to hear that!

DJRunaway responds:

:D :) wow, again, thanks for your review :) You'r tips are very handy, and I will try to improve my work the best I can :)! Thanks!

[╚Ä╚]

OOh!

I really liked how this sounded. but the sound quality was pretty shitty. Sounded like i was listening to it through a tin can. I bet it would blow people away if the sound quality was pushed to the max. Almost reminded me of the intro to Mad Max!! which is a badass movie!!

[Sacred Slumber(pt1)]

I hate rock ballads

But most all rock ballads have an annoying voice screaming or moaning over them. so this one picked up points for not including that. It started really slow AND.....kept on going slow. the piano riff was nice ( the first time) but after a while of hearing it through guitar and strings , it got tiring. i feel tired just listening to it. PLEASE just add some faster building tension and build, something to keep me wanting more. anytime something new was introduced, i wasn't too impressed. BUT! after all that griping! i do believe you have a solid song that holds the same feeling throughout, a sort of dragging slow death. but still consisent. sorry this sounds so mean, i meant it to sound like constructive criticism, but it just makes me sound like a hardass. I DO ENJOY YOUR OTHER STUFF THOUGH!!so keep a working at it.

RyeGuyHead responds:

Yeah, I see what you mean. Im trying to make a faster part. I know 3 minutes of slow stuff is too much for some people.

[Tetriss Madness]

It's tetris?

At first when i saw the description, i thought "what NEW twist could he put on it. This song is remixed so many times that it is so tired now." but as i listened i almost lost interest, but when you sliced up melody and didn't bother to keep it as is, (as many lazy people do)it grabbed my attention right back. Nice work, i like the sound, and the beat was a little...wanting, but hey, it's tetris. good job

CUBErt responds:

Thank you!

[SLF- reversed violin]

oh man!

This sounds so realisistic. So will give you the benefit of the doubt and say that you played this on an actual violin. IF this is true, EXCELLENT WORK. Original yet not too avante garde (experimental. it flowed beautifully and carried an almost melodramatic and uplifting and uncertain feel to it. i love a peice of music that can carry a mood like that! wonderful!

thecolony responds:

yup, it's played on a real violin BUT a it has been a little modified (so it sound a bit different)

[It's a Fine Day]

YES!!

This sounds awesome!!!, i love the buzzy sounds you used, i actually enjoyed the beat quite a bit and it escaped all attempts at being repetitive and saved it with delightful little loops and dives. LOVED THIS!

Darkvampiire responds:

Thanks my friend, I'm glad you liked that is why I'll keep making music

[Sky Sanctuary]

yeah man. wtf?

I love this song, but the sega version. the bass, as everyone else said, kills this song. I think it would have been fine if you used a compressor effect on the melody or just lowered the bass volume WAY down.

[Bob]

ooh! i think i know why you called it bob

Because it makes me wanna bob my head as i rock out to it. This song is the definition of solid, very tight and concise and despite repetive, a very good example of backround music. The overall sound of it is what got the high score.

[Cliff 2004]

perfection and jealousy come hand in hand.

one quick note. In the beginning, that kid says, "wide open" i was really expecting a fat kick beat to come in after that. but no. However..i...well ...this song's awesome, i loved the use of the organ, and i say that this is perfect and that it's very comforting, yet....all those downloads! makes me kinda jealous, but listening to the beggining synth gets me everytime, great work. STICK SOME MORE BEAT IN THERE THOUGH!you could totally make this a crazy club hit!

[AeonEffect]

FANTASTIC

This is really good. lovely sounds. oh man they're so fun and yet solid. this is some good techno man. Even though it's sounds "to the the average ear" like a normal techno song, to me, i hear endearing qualities ( the breakdown filtro synth, crazy fx sounds, etc.) the one and only thing i could find that could use some more work, and that would be your arc. you know, intro, build, climax, release. but you had all the elements, they just weren't that strong. but you know what? this song still kicks my ass!!!
