SteveMaddenFootball's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[PHUNK U [Full EP]]

Excellent energy with powerful tonalities! And great cover art from Montrose!

[The space collab]

Congratulations, everyone! There is a lot of variation!

nice

You made an expertly good song, and the commentary that you utilized, including the tags, definitely introduces a high level of narrative for the King himself. What can I say? I am surprised this is skill level 200. The ending is quite abrupt, which I would say is a thematic decision, representing a swift BBS ban.

EDIT. @SamaadBae5 that is very unfortunate :(

SamaadBae5 responds:

He said he didn't want me to keep the end where I recorded audio of him screeching in euphoria

[Everything by Everyone]

Yes, it's jingle time! You captured the spirit perfectly with the jingle's attitude and the upbeat vibe that I believe is synonymous with Newgrounds. It feels very hopeful and retro, representing the longevity and history of the community.

The melody and chords flow well, great combination of instruments. It's good that there's a strong start, and there's a buildup to when the beat drops, which is a good choice.

oChron1cTQ responds:

Melody and chords, especially instruments, are a big part of Lone's vibe, so I'm very glad it goes well!

The start is also a rap-type start, pretty common in trap and phonk beats. The drop at the end (1:40), is sooo fire imo, every time I hear it I go crazzzyyyyyyyy

btw, the producer tag still hasn't changed, idk really how to get a better one, my voice and microphone wouldn't be suitable (at least yet), so I just use the bad one cuz it's better than getting my beat stolen

Thank you!

[Mutilate]

Good bass, the melody is cool, and there are good changes in the arrangement, which brings a lot of style.

oChron1cTQ responds:

The bass is supposed to be really loud and kindof unleashed, 'cause it's Freddie Dredd, but I still do have sidechaining, which keeps it from sounding too muddy, however due to the nature of F-Dredd beats, the high end is reduced, so it obviously still is pretty muddy

Melody is just VK, It's pretty much just on the semi-tones, for that dark, killing vibe

Arrangement at the start is definitely different, follows a lot of hip-hop rules

[Green and Black]

That is a good balance in the instruments, and it's a very unique combination of sounds, creating an interesting atmosphere.

oChron1cTQ responds:

Thanks! Wouldn't expect that, I honestly didn't think it was the best, (especially the newjazz part) but ig it is a pretty good balance, I tried to keep it minimal so it's very uncluttered

Thanks!

[Blue River (feat Aalasteir)]

Thank you so much! The song sounds awesome! I'm really happy we could collaborate.

PapoFuradoPA responds:

I had fun with it! Thank you!

You are awesome! The episode is interesting! I enjoyed the discussion about balancing personal indie projects with professional work, as well as the experiences with "BoJack Horseman" and "Tuca and Bertie." I've seen the full extent of all those shows, and I'm a fan of Sublo and Tangy Mustard. The animation is fluid, and I didn't realize that it was a deliberate choice to emphasize strong keyframes and animate on the threes! It looks absolutely amazing.

It's great to have shows like these that focus on friends interacting with each other. I would say the pandemic had a great influence on how people thought about their art and what it means to interact and express one's ideas through art. The creative process influences one's mentality and perspective. Great conversations about creativity and personal experiences.
