BenKolk's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[BurgeraX: Crystal [Complextro]]

Tasty groove, dude! I think it could benefit from some beefier cymbals in the beginning, but other than that, really solid track!

If I may ask, what'd you use to make this?

EruptionMusic responds:

Fruityloops studio 10:) cuz i'm too lazy for 12 and it's confusing to me lol

[FIDDLER ON THE TRAP]

The fiddle is an interesting element. Cool thing going on here.
However, the audio quality is really bad. Like *really* bad. Also the autotune feels like it's unnecessary since you aren't actually singing. Especially at :16. And the fidelity doesn't do the autotune any favors, either. At :21 it sounds like the audio for the vocals were cut off really early. Also the song ends very abruptly. There should at least be a fadeout or something so it isn't such a harsh ending. I would also probably put this under hip hop and not electronic/new wave.
But other than that, the vocals were on time at least. That's a lot more than what some rappers could say.

song isn't completed. this is a sample. Thank you for th3 input, it is greatly greatly appreciated.

[Hangover Blues]

Solid blues dude. You got a nice groove goin'. However, it feels like the song isn't really going anywhere. And what I assume to be a record popping can get a little intrusive at times. It's just a bit on the loud side. But you definitely accomplish the retro feel. Keep it up man!

ANGELGRIS responds:

Firts of all,thanks for taking the time to write a review,I ´ve noticed the old record sound ended up being a bit loud so perhaps I can fix the problem by mixing the song again.I can see what you mean about the song going nowhere,I wasn´t really inspired while recording the solo and It shows.I´ll probably gonna re upload a new version of this to fix the problems the track has.Thanks again for the honest and insightful review my friend.Greetings.

[AIM The Legend of Uncle Dave]

Love the adventurous vibes! Also 5 guitars, that's crazy! Great tune dude.

Daveisgr81 responds:

Thanks!

[Fog Town]

Super atmospheric. Really paints the picture of this town covered in fog. It really makes you feel lost in this place. The only thing that was a little disappointing is that I wish the song lasted long enough for the piano to fade out completely. Other than that, fantastic piece!

[Tigers & Dragons]

Great song! Not a huge fan of dubstep but here's an exception! The guitar went really well with this as well! Congrats to both you and SoundHawk on a badass track!

[This Means War (feat. Sylvain Coudret of SOILWORK)]

With out a doubt the best song I've heard on Newgrounds. Killer groove with a huge atmosphere and gut-punching synths. Only thing that I didn't absolutely love is the lead synth in the very beginning of the song could have been mixed a *tad* louder. Other than that, phenomenal job!

[Asleep at the Wheel]

There isn't much better in this side of the music spectrum than chiptune influenced electronic music. Great song! Only thing I didn't care for much was at 1:44 when it sounds like that bass-y sound might be clipping. Other than that, kickin' tune!

[Vigilante]

Sick groove! The police siren samples work super well with the feel of the song. Can't wait to hear more!
