sharpnova's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Awake - Indigo Youth]

wow

not sure what to say. brilliant?

[The Silver Monster (rework)]

Great track

After your message, I checked this out again.

Very cool with sharp beats that aren't abrasive. Soothing too.

LLAAPPSSEE responds:

Thanks man. Glad you had another listen and it still sticks with you. There is a much newer version featured on the album.

[Anakin]

too noisy

the noise was cacophonous. and overall repetitive.

the cuts were too quick and abrasive.

i'd like to say something good about this but quite honestly there wasn't anything about it i enjoyed.

hidden in this i get the feeling there's an artist with potential to put together good drum'n'bass. he just hasn't realized it yet.

doctormario responds:

You should hear my stuff from 1992.

sounds procedural

sounds procedurally generated.

[Pretzel Assassin]

uninspired

the work seemed incomplete and didn't have a continuous flow from beginning to end.

the melody didn't stick and the fore and backbeats were abrasive.

the lyrics and voice were intended to be funny but they weren't. they lacked the basic wit that makes anything funny.

[Inner Self <Duba>]

Nope

Wrong. Music is one of many expressions of the inner self.

It's also more than an expression of the inner self.

[*somewhere in time*]

repeat name

you might want to change the name of the song. a quick search on google would have shown you this was a movie.. and quite an amazing sound track.

this song in particular is quite nice. relaxing but the beat is a tad bit abrasive.

[-Orr- 4 Brave Champions [FULL]]

passable

not bad. didn't exactly knock my socks off. i've heard similar shit before.

DavidOrr responds:

Sorry you didn't enjoy it, thanks for giving it a listen!

[Mountain Flowers - F-777]

i won't summarize a review. that's the score.

i give an 8 because the start of the song was great. top notch.

the transition at 13 was coarse and totally off the nice trend you were setting.

if you stuck to the style you started with (and a lot of the later stuff like 1:10 etc.) this would be a 10.

[Synthetica EP Demo Track]

somewhat dissapointing.

everything here is pretty decent but i heard a lot of pre-mixed stuff from basic music studios packages i've used in the past. they stood out really prominently. also there's nothing that really stands out as that unique. everything is just all around decent. some of it is better than decent but none of it is great. i'd pass it if there weren't so many obvious pre-mixed sound effects beats and loops in this.

i didn't factor the fact that you guys are actually selling this.. into the score. if i had the score would have been around 3 or 4. i think it's unreal that a bunch of authors come together in a friendly collab and make something decent.. and then turn around and charge people to listen to it. with preset effects glaring like crazy and pretty standard beats. i consider that a huge minus, but to be fair i didn't factor it into the review.

i pass this individual submission. i fail the packaged compilation that is for sale. but that's not really what i'm supposed to review. that's why i gave a 6.
