Big-Boss's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[KerteX - Crystal Cave]

It has both a nice creepy and ambient vibe.

I'm kind of on the fence about that clock ticking sound. A part of me likes it, but then again, it kind of starts to annoy me.

Secondly, with that clock ticking sound, it gets louder towards the end, which adds more to it kind of being an annoying sound. That's the only thing I'd change about this song.

kziki responds:

At the end the ticking sound doesn't get louder its just not disturbed by any other noises
other then that i have overused the ticking noise xd

Thx for your feedback :D

[They Watch Me In The Dark]

This sounds very professionally done. I can't believe my ears right now. I've never heard something quite like this on Newgrounds. This song reminds me of Evanescence or Nightwish. You guys already sound like a very good, successful band!

I think this is too good for Newgrounds. Honestly.

ftoons responds:

Wow, I'm really glad you liked it! We'll upload a second song in a few weeks time.

Please, send the song to your friends, so more people listen us! And if you want, you can follow is on Twitter: @Moonchild_Band

Thank you! :)

[Time to Get Real]

First of all, you used too much of that voice clip. The first time you used it, that was fine. The second time, however, it lasted for almost half a minute. If you would've cut the time of that voice clip in half, that would've been a lot better.

It's just that people who come across this song are going to want to listen to a song, not too many sound effects or voice clips that are too long that take their attention away from the song because it gets kind of boring.

Besides that, though, the instruments you used, especially the drums and the trumpet, provided a great orchestra sound. It really got good towards the end because of how intense it got. It reminded me of the music that they use for superhero movie trailers.

gesignature responds:

There is an actual video clip to the music which i should probably mention in the description.

[Aria - Never Change]

You said in your Author's Comments that you made this in only three hours, so I won't be too hard on you for its repetitiveness. Too much repetitiveness isn't a good thing for a song to have, though.

Also, the kick between 2:10 and 2:40 is too quiet and can barely be heard. This is also an issue at 3:26.

You should've put more time into this song before releasing it. Don't rush perfection or it won't come out perfect! I feel like this song could've been a lot better if you had put more time into it.

P.S. I don't think putting "repetitive" as a tag is a good tag for your song.

DelitescentAria responds:

I rush songs because I intend to try a lot of stuff to find in which I'm good. Though I'll admit, the repetitive tag isn't good. I should've put the prettier version: "Loop".

I don't expect perfection since nothing is perfect, but I'll definitely try to make something that doesn't sound terrible.

Although for a first attempt, I think I did pretty good.

Thanks for feedback ^-^

[=Raiders' Blaze=]

This song is very fast paced and intense, especially the beat. I love it!

You have so many different instruments and sounds throughout the song that contribute very well to its fast paced sound. The variety is outstanding.

Excellent work!

Syzion responds:

Thank you, DeftonesFan665!

[KerteX - Lost Satellite]

It has an alien/UFO vibe to it, which sounds pretty cool.

It could've been longer, though, and I didn't like how abrupt the ending was.

kziki responds:

yeh it should have been longer... so i will probably recreate this song when i understand Caustic 3 a bit more
and the ending is abrupt because at that point i didn't know why it was happening
but now i know why 8)

[Calm Paradise]

I can definitely see myself just sitting outside and chilling in the sun while listening to this.

The guitar really matches the beach theme, as does the wave sound effect.

Great work!

AlexMaden responds:

5 Stars?!
Thanks a lot! :D

[iDubbZtep (Finished)]

This song is pretty cool, except for 1:14 and 1:56. The guy's voice and what he says really lowers my score for this song. Those sound effects just don't go well with the song and I don't think they could go together well with any song.

Like ApolloWolf said, some people will hate that stuff. I hate it because it kind of ruins the song. Others might hate it because they find it offensive. Those two sound effects were just not good effects to put in this song.

Also, the ending sounds a bit cut off.

AlexMaden responds:

Haha, I never expected many people to like the refrences the guy said.
But it's one of my favourite Youtubers, and at first hand this was just an experiment.
I'm thinking of remaking this into something better in the future! :))

[Alien Invasion]

It has a really nice space vibe to it. Especially when it's soft at the beginning and when it gets more intense towards the end. Also, in between the soft and more intense parts of the song, you have a nice build up.

The only reason I'm not giving this song 5 stars is because of the soft bit between 1:28 and 1:34. I feel like you could've had a better transition there.

AlexMaden responds:

Haha, thank you! :D

Awh man, I guess the part between 1:28 and 1:34 is judged by personal taste.
Some people have liked it, and some other didn't.
I'm happy for your review, I love any kind of feedback! :))

[Fight Against Your Beliefs]

The beginning should've changed up a lit bit sooner to not sound so monotonous.

Besides that, this song is beautiful. The buildup to the climax is fantastic. Then the cool down after the climax is also great and ends the song very well.

Keep up the good work!

MysteriousPresence responds:

Thanks a lot, I maybe should reconsider my intros next time ! X)
Glad you liked it ! =)
