SuperGoodSound's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Wax Your Crack]

remind me of...

insertpizhere on steroids. Pretty cool. Could use a little more variation? The sharp attacks are pretty grating at times. Extra points for the crazy/industrial groove. You could go a long way by extending this small theme into a full-blown song...

[Fancy Mike - Reset]

the intro is epic

Seriously, amazing. So grand and lovely sounding...

You should really look reworking simply that intro part into something different and keeping in the same vein.

Scribbler responds:

I agree with you, actually.

[Rig - Am I Cool Yet?]

LOL Rig, you rock the house. This is really dope

Freakin' seal of approval on this sucka' if I ever felt to do such a thing. Brilliant. So downloading this and it's almost completely unheard of for me to do that.

This is a piece of work man. Kick-awesome. Just awesome. No advice that I could give here. Too busy enjoying it honestly.

egad...this is fun...I don't even know how you do it

Rig responds:

Haha, thanks! I'm re-writing it for the upcoming NGAP EP, be sure to pick up a copy!

[Time (bring it on)]

obviously fantastic

The real question...is why is voicemale on, NG...?? Of all places. Seems odd, the group has a huge presence in the mormon community anyway and their cd's can be found everywhere in LDS bookstores...etc.

Anyway - I can't help but wonder if this is just for publicity - because (obviously) it trounces the median level of production to be found here normally. It doesn't really compute in a sense. Of course good work anyway. Fantastic as many of the previous works are. I have a good deal of your guys' cds, each new one is better than the last. It's clear you've been honing skill over the years.

spidy1217 responds:

HA! i think you've got us totally confused with someone else. we're voicemale from brandeis university, a bunch of nerdy jewish college guys, definitely not mormon. But I'm glad you like!

[She_Remix [Box-Killa]]

quite enjoyable

Excellent little remix...tons of energy, well done drums (with some great spatial effects @ 1:20). There were parts that seems a tad disjointed. But it was still fun.

The beginning was definitely the most aptly engineered portion.

[Epixture]

extremely good

the way the bass lines modulate to create such rich progression and differing chords is phenomenal...

The timbre of the each instrument is excellent. The drums cut through effectively - I didn't enjoy the area after 2:00 at some points as much but then the way you mixed it up again near 3:00 was a perfect reprise. The piano-esque synth had some element of "magic dust" that gave it that perfect blend into the rest of the song. Great arp/delay part there. Just fantastic. Beautiful progression again around that area 4:00...

Simply wonderful. It could be improved a bit in areas that I can't really put my finger on, so a 10 nonetheless. A standout, in a sea of really mediocre efforts and abilities.

[every song i make sucks]

uh sorry.

It's not crap. It's actually pretty sweet. Progression is lacking in a certain respect - but then again, it's a simple loop and it could just be design. Good work.

[PureX (Final State)]

very enjoyable...liked this

It was somewhat minimalistic at the beginning - wasn't quite sure what to think of the supporting chords at :45 and building...but they are also nice sounding. Maybe clashing a little bit to my ears.

The breakdown at 1:50 was pretty cool - and sounding like it was going into a completely different song (which it seemed to do). The beat that kicks in after that is way way too grating. I think there is a lot of potential here - the arps are actually really enjoyable! I liked that stuff quite a bit. Just needs to be properly eq'd and then integrated a little better into the rest of the song.

Neat stuff though. There's plenty of character here in the piece that I did enjoy quite a bit.

DavidRx responds:

DrX

[Big Red - Mr Jones]

this is good

There's not a whole lot of decent amateur rap out there that doesn't sound really corny and just not clever or timed well.

This is HUGE HUGE exception to that. This is an excellent (if short) and incredibly well written and poignant example of well-thought out and aptly engineered rhyme paired with a catchy beat and instrumental...

Listening to it again, I am stuck how on occasion these gems do actually show in their proper spot on newgrounds instead of the normal multi-tracked drivel that graces the front page of the audio portal normally.

The only thing I think is funny is you used the word "refute" in reference to what the character could do in the case of his own "sh*t talking". It doesn't exactly make sense in this context as the word refute means to figuratively dismantle (as in to refute someone else's statement), and why would the character want to sabotage his own argument? Anyway - there's a more appropriate word choice there that I can't suggest at right now.

BigRed responds:

Well written review, thanks for taking the time!

Think about the similar phrase "He wouldn't fight because he couldn't fight back." The downfall of my sentence is the pronoun "it", as what "it" refers to is ambiguous. It's tricky writing with rhyme and rythm without losing clarity, and I did lose a bit there. I'm working on it though, expect better next time! :D Thanks again!

[Nostalgia In Space (NG Cut)]

superb beginning arp

That's enough right there to get a good grove. That's fantastic - must have taken some serious tweaking to get that sound. So rich. Most all the instruments really - standouts. Does sound very reasonish, but in a good way.

I don't dig the side-chain compression off the kick though. To disorienting for me. Doesn't seem to go very far after the initial setup. The breakdown @ 3:05 is minimalistic but enjoyable (more than the beats IMO).
