Joeyag's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[We'll Meet Again]

This is exactly what it aims for. Nostalgic and uplifting. The repeating chord progression with the addition of layers one at a time works pretty well, and when the first drop comes, perfectly announced by those 80's sampled tom drums... It brings us quite a satisfaction! Quite joyful and dancing! Great job! I kinda missed a more developed bass line, though, maybe with a cleaner sound to contrast from the synths. To me this is the only thing away from a 5 stars vote (in the mood i am right now at least).

Ditchy responds:

Thank you for your feedback - Will take the bass advice onboard :)

[VS. Don Gula, The Icon of Gluttony]

I definitely can imagine a very dark level here. It doesn't have a melodic theme, it's more about textures and progressions, which makes it easy to listen to without it getting annoying. This is very good for a game. The only disadvantage is that it is less assimilative, you know? I see this song more in a dark level than a boss. I would think a boss should have a clear melodic theme, something that would make you think "oooh it's that boss' song!". But that's just my opinion... This would definitely fit great in a game regardless of that.

Nice, i can really see this darkening down a scene. I'm not used to rating audio yet.. my first thoughts are that this audio is very simple and short, therefore it shouldn't get an outstanding score. But simple and short is often perfect for certain purposes, and your audio is definitely ideal for a bunch of purposes. So i'm giving you three and a half stars, score in which the little head is smiling but not particularly enthusiastic(as he would be if listening to an outstanding piece of music).

LittleLuckyLink responds:

Thank you! A fair rating, I shall agree :)

[Dreamscape]

dope, bro

[Moog 3]

awesome shit!

[Epic Music - City of Gold]

Score 3.93? people are clearly deaf. You are making real music here. I'm glad my vote could boost the score to 4.11 at least. Congratulations!

SteveSyz responds:

Thanks so much for the kind words! I haven't updated my page at NewGrounds in a while, I have some new music at BandCamp and YouTube ;D (shameless advertising haha)

[Total Payback]

too repetitive..

At the start it is cool, but at some point it is annoying, I mean, it is a loop, so it will repeat all the time, then it is boring. It should be more varied.

Chrizzly responds:

Yeah, well it's hard making a loop varied. That means I would have to put in more riffs, more parts, maybe tempo changes, maybe more solos, and oh... it seems as we have a full song now, ey?
Loops ain't exactly made to be varied, 'cos variety demands length, and length means a full song.
Anyway thanks for the review, dude. I'll post something less repetitive in the future!
