sharpnova's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

huh?

nice song and nice beat.

word of advice: you should not presume to tell us what to get out of the song. let us conjure our own mental imagery without it being polluted by your "suggestion" of what we're supposed to think and feel when we listen to your song.

that's very unprofessional and ruins the flavor. you'd have gotten an 8 or a 9 and voted a 4 instead of a 3 if you'd handled things properly.

KgZ responds:

Heh, I guess so, but you don't have to agree with what I thought about, everything is subjective in music.

Thanks for listening!

[[Kriz] - Fluctuations]

0:55

It's the transition at 0:55 that really drew me to this song. Has inspired me to get back to work with Acid.
