Whack-a-mole's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[FF:USC Boss Music]

Metal?

You do realize that there's a "video game music" section at the audio portal correct? Let's use our resources shall we. Otherwise it was so-so.

[A short run from fate]

Couldn't hear

The drums, while sounding great, drowned out the guitars. Otherwise it was a pretty good one.

Hey, you gotta make some compromises when you're running your own sound. Besides, I was still tweaking a new Shure Beta 52 bass mike at the time.

[Leviathan]

Hard Ass

I commend you. The more stuff I listen to, the more I like your stuff. Anyway, nice job, lets hear some lyrics maybe? Alright, later then.

[Hard Rock/Metal song]

Finally, something good in NG metal.

Heh, you use Cakewalk Guitar Tracks 2 don't you? I recognized those drums right off lol. Very good though. Very much my type of music. Check out my audio, I think we're alike. Nice trem-picking, I just got to that part. Anyway, nice stuff. Later.

[Seeking Aggression]

Not bad

K here we go. This was good but there were a few things that could've made it better. The intro to this was boring and nearly stopped listening, however it got better as it went on and the finishing riff was very good. Also, this is not heavy metal in the heavy metal category but that's not really a problem. It's good about what you said about the originality 'cause this sounded really really close to something from the Quake 2 soundtrack...but the Quake 2 soundtrack is awesome so I can't blame you for that. Overall this had a good effect with it building up from nearly nothing to a pretty kick ass riff at the end. Good job.

Thanks for your review.

I like this one a lot, I have all sorts of ideas to re-release it on newgrounds with new effects and a bridge. I thought it sounded like some Rage-ish-ness.

Ok here we go

There are many reasons why you shouldn't have submitted this, but it could've been worse.

1. Anyone who wants this passage of the song can simply rip it from the cd.

2. This sounds like a first draft with little to no effort at all.

3. Sound quality was terrible. But this is understandable because not everyone can record using $60+ programs.

4. This is not an original composition.

However I think if you just put a little effort and maybe some time into it you could write and record a decent sounding loop or track to submit. Just be a little more careful.

[A Twisted Place]

Really creepy

But could've been better. I liked the drum beat all the way through. Some of the keyboards (I think they're keyboards anyway lol) could've been used differently. The background haunting type keyboard was great esp. when it broke off into just that riff playing. Good work.

[Dimension]

Powerful Sound

Reminded me of Static-X (without the metal). I like the NIN thing there around the end. Overall great job.
