Creeperforce24's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Arctique Fire]

Beautful, just beautiful! I’ve listened to most of the songs, and lemme tell you there is no story quite like this one, unique approaches, like, I DONT HAVE ANYTHING TO CRITICIZE!

Yeah… this is something else, in terms of the competition, not really fitting as you’ve said XD. BUT HERES YOUR SCORE

NGMC score: 3.5/5
General score: ABSOLUTE CINEMA/5

CasualBreather responds:

Thanks for this awesome review!

[Avalanche]

Another frontpaged work! Nice!

The ice feeling is kinda there, but if I didn’t know this were ice competition I wouldn’t think that. A lot of unique approaches, and some catchy ass bass at 0:56. The filtered offbeat Breakcore sounds a bit well… off, could use work. The chiptune also sounds odd in this, some more mastering and mixing could definitely have been done, since at the second I can barely hear the melody or the bass over the drums. The drums are fire but the mix is definitely muddy, though I think that was intentional. It’s definitely a racing theme, a something I’d probably find in some monster truck ice track.The guitar is by far my fave part of the song, very well done!
Overall, Pretty cool and unique, but some parts such as the mixing and the Breakcore drums could’ve been pulled better.

NGMC: 3.6/5
General: 3.9/5

Arponax responds:

Yeah to me that theme was more in the overall mood of the track when it comes to like upbeat or somewhat goofy/spontaneous or playful melodies...and also theres some wind too XD tho that was just a random idea i had that could add few points to that maybe.

I tried to not alter the chiptune parts too much cause i dont have much experience with it...i did a little bit of EQing and panning on it and it sounded alright so i kept it as it is.

Mixing is something i personally decided to kinda just use as a tool to achieve the sound i want since having completely clean sound feels dull to me (ofc not mentioning that it is a hard thing to do XD so maybe its a lazy thing) so my approach to that is...if im able to clean it, good but if theres a little bit of a "healthy" mud im happy with it too.

Thanks tho, it was a fun collab...cant wait for other rounds.

[ArikXu & arsalchowdhurymusic - Wanderers of the White Wilderness]

A very unique liquid DnB I see!

The vocals fit really well, and the chopping is well made, and it definitely has the feeling of I C E. The vocals are overused a bit, and the song is a bit repetitive, but in terms of music production, those are your only problems. The mixing and mastering is well done and I’m a big fan of the choices of instruments, I’m not even sure why it’s rated so low XD. Also, this sounds more like something I’d hear on the radio, then in an ice racing game… still good though!

NGMC score: 4.2/5
General Score: 4.5/5

syopeen-squad responds:

We think that you're criticism is quite valid. We interpreted the theme being arctic, and just as how the title implies, we are racing in a vast plain of snow, with nothing else. I am not saying this interpretation should justify to make things better, but a fun way to think!

We also thank you for taking considerate time to write the reviews! :)

[Polar Drift (w/ X3ll3n) [NGMC 2025]]

Ok, I see you, “Rival”. Really nice, catchy melodies, good mixing, though theres one problem my friend.

I USED ORCHESTRAL, ORCHESTRA IS MY GREATEST WEAPON! >:)

Jokes aside, really sweet stuff, I love how loud and well mixed it is! It’s also got some really catchy melodies and nice bg melodies. Though to me it has more of a dance feel, rather then a racing feel, Only exception being the slap bass section at 1:47. Other than that, it’s a really well made track!

NGMC Score(I think we are the ones judging ourselves): 4.3/5
General Score: 4.7/5

Snikio responds:

Hello, my friend! I'll keep your advice in mind when making edits.
Thank you for always listening to my music sincerely.
See you on the podium.

[I can't really]

I’m a really big fan of the transitions and sample use in the beginning, it fits so well!

Bass sounds sick in this one! I love the use of the the long dubstep growl. The the crushy “yi” also sounds pretty good, I feel it could be more varied in tones, but it still sounds cool nonetheless less! Mixing is great and the overall melody is still visible through the bassy madness. The synth at 1:46 is probably one of my favorite parts of the song as I’m typing this, but then it starts speeding up, which I found a little odd for my tastes, that could be improved maybe by faster drums or a fast bass. But then it leads into a actually really sick fucking drop, love the long term bass used in this and how crunchy it is! The “LETS GO” robot sample at 2:38 is a bit hidden, I’d recommend maybe adding some velocity to it. Then just like with the synth, the odd speed change, but it gets better and more into the pads. The pads are superb, though the piano sounds a bit too compressed and hard hitting, it’s also off melody with the bassy growls at 3:05. I love the bass still, it hasn’t gotten old, I also have to admit I love how nothing seems to sound the same!
Then it gets more of a “house vibe”, I would’ve kept the bass, but made it quieter and give it some ducking or sidechaining, rather then get rid of it altogether. It gets pumping back with the bass impacts, the layers in both the first and this part are a bit to high pitched, but they fit otherwise. A lovely riser into the next house like drop. Now it’s truly getting good, I love the house and dubstep mix, and the piano here sounds really well, a major improvement from the last one, where hard hitting piano synth is NEEDED. The piano melody to end it all is incredibly fire and I wish itd go on a bit longer.
In terms of transitions, using speed wasn’t exactly ideal here, guessing it was an experiment? Mixing and mastering overall is strong, some parts feel hidden, and the samples used are really good! Toning is a bit of a problem for the extra effects in the dubstep, such as the lasers. Melodies are really good in the electronic instruments, but kinda off on the more traditional instruments, the piano for example, although it really fit in the second entrance of it.

Overall, I give it a solid 4.7/5. amazing work man!

Axsou responds:

Thanks for the feedback!

[Evolve]

Ok, in terms of skill, it’s definitely better than velocity, in terms of creativity and uniqueness, I say it’s about the same, I bet I could mistake this from somewhere else. It’s very dirty and gritty, and me personally, if I were the ones behind the seat of choosing who gets best of the week, your song wouldn’t be on it… BUT NEITHER WOULD MINE REALLY XDXDXD.

Hey man, maybe we got lucky with our music this time lol! But still, great work, I like it!

OVERSCORE responds:

Idk about skill, or creativity either for that matter considering velocity is 7 MINUTES. But I mean, cheers to undeserved trophies!! I’m not freaking complaining!

[callisto]

We chilling in the waiting room with this one.

Waiting room? More like “waving room”

Nice work man! That’s literally all that comes to mind with this, sorry we haven’t spoke in the last 100 years, been a bit busy with school work and personal projects. Hope your doing well!

trevor8 responds:

oh! thank you :) i like waving rooms much better than waiting rooms
good to hear from you, a lot has happened in the last century. i guess i can shave off this ridiculous beard now that we're back in business!

[suppress]

Out of all the songs you’ve made… this is my favorite.

Last time a song by you was THIS good was imaginary, I love these kinds of songs where out of nowhere they are just the most fire shit.

OVERSCORE responds:

REALLY?!?! That’s awesome, thanks!!
Imaginary was definitely a step in the right direction for me, style-wise. And with this album, I have finally found and settled into that style. Glad this paid off and you enjoyed it!

[Stalker (Megamix)]

Wow, even the viruses on Newgrounds are fire as shit.

That FUCKING BRASS IS BEAUTIFUL. The bass is catchy as hell, love the acid basses, the brass as i said before is phenomenal, the pads in the bg are nostalgic in some way too, which is quite amazing for a song based after Duke Nukem of all things.
Though it does have some flaws, the drums don’t seem right being on the left side of the song at 2:17, I’d put the drums on the right and the bass keep it on the left, the acid should stay in the middle. The brass around the same part is a bit loud, maybe turn it down a little, the brass could also be less panned to one side as well. The bass reminds me of goa songs for some reason, not sure why. I’ve always been a lover of guitar bass so 3:14 is a blessing, and it fits really well. For how long it is it does get boring in some areas, (trust me, it’s hard making a long song non repetitive OwQ, just check my song Velocity).

Drums are also really well fitting for the funky styled song, the mixing gets a bit muddy at 4:48 but I think it needs a little less bassy instruments. More too one sided brass, but still a great melody.

I wish we got to hear a little more of 0:13 in the song, the flangy acid synth sounds really cool, and I believe that could’ve replaced the muddy part. Transitions are good, song is overall not too repetitive, mixing is strong, mastering is straight forward, and very different then what you normally see on Newgrounds! Nice work man! Strong STRONG work!
4.5/5

Thanks @Thengvirus, @Taintedlogic, another reviewer kinda inspires me to make more detailed reviews :3

TheNGVirus responds:

Thanks for your review man! absolutely love getting detailed reviews, site needs more of ya!

[Night]

I love the use of calm instruments, some transitions can be improved. The bells are especially pretty interesting, since they make up most of the song. I love the distortion on many of the bells and instruments as well, I don’t know why but I’ve been more into distorted instruments as of recently lol XD. The guitar is pretty cool, though it does sound a bit awkward at first, I guess it may just be a personalized thing, I love guitars too :3. The pads are very soothing to the soul despite the distortion, which is another thing, you made a very calm song using distortion, which is pretty difficult IMO. Melodies are catchy, and I’m really into it, if put in the right light, I’d be here rocking for hours non end. Then I guess finally a better way to end the track would be to have it become more distorted and have it fade away, I feel it’d fit the mood.
Good work man, keep it up!
4.2/5 stars!

Reiyvasaltyz responds:

Thanks for the advice, im glad you enjoy it!!
And yeah the guitar part is true LOL
(ps so the loop ends but it sounds kinda odd on newgrounds but yeah i think you get it...)
