Acoustatic's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Astronomical]

Baaah, dude! The whole song is just building tension, building, building, but it never gets relieved! I don't want to be harsh since the song itself is musically pretty good (the synths are excellent, great mastering, etc), but it feels like 3 minutes of blue-balls! This song would be great if there were some relief to the constantly building tension. The pieces are all there, but this just feels like the first half of a great piece.

8-Scars responds:

Mmm, i feel ya...Thanks for the critic, tho.Can't please everyone.

[4 o'clock time to go....]

The sound quality was top-notch, you did an excellent job mastering this.

I love the obscure rhythms in the drums, the continuous presence of the bells (though at times distorted, I loved those parts!) the clipping of the tracks, the occasional addition of a random synth or drum here and there. All in all this sounds like some high quality Los Angeles-style underground electronic music. And...it's fuckin great. Excellent job! Keep on experimenting :)

[Conquerer's Path]

This is a very edge-of-your-seat, ominous, smooth beat. I could picture this playing while some secret agents are robbing a high-class mob bank or something:P

Also, you credited me in the description, but my lyrics are nowhere to be found! Regardless, this is a very nice piece. Keep making music, and maybe you'll find a use for my freestyle in the future haha

[Love Is Powerful]

Aww, it's very lovey-dovey and romantic, in a cool Trance sort of way. Excellent job, though you could easily (if you wanted to) transform this from a nice love song into an epic club banger by putting a nice drop and a fast beat/melody somewhere in there. Sounds nice, though:)

Dylnmatrix responds:

Did I never respond to you...? Oops...

Thanks for the review! I appreciate it.

[Pre-Bramble]

Hahaha I had this playing for like 2 minutes and didn't even notice it was only a 10-second loop.

Sounds like some top-notch production music, I could easily see this playing on a main menu screen for a flash game. Nice job! And I hope that ramen was as tasty as this lil loop.

RiverK responds:

Tasted like victory!

[Nautical Titan]

Very minimalist! Yet very intense, and ominous...and sexy!

Iiiiiiiiii really liked it. Excellent job on this enormous (yet tiny) festival of sound.

AliceMako responds:

You're too kind, glad you enjoyed it ^_^

[Plexosphere]

Has a somewhat 80's vibe to it, I like it! Short and sweet, nice job.

K-Pone responds:

Thanks a lot

[Horror Trailer]

After reading the title/description, I turned off the lights, closed the door, and plugged in my noise-cancelling headphones. You, sir, had me scared absolutely shitless...up until the end! It was a big dramatic build-up, then I felt blue-balled at the end. I love your work and I know you're an extremely talented musician; put a big dramatic climax at the end to really peak that horrifying aura that's built throughout the piece!

Lashmush responds:

I see your point, I do. Thing is, it was after all supposed to be trailer music and that spot at the end would've been where the title popped up.

Still, it would be worth expanding upon this one about a minute or so. I'll give it some thought at least. c:

[Drum line]

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww dayum. I am an absolute sucker for those marching band drumlines...and that's all that this is! Awesome! :D

Could you make a longer, more intricate version, though? Maybe get some snares and stuff in there (cymbals, even?)? I feel like this has the potential to be a really epic drumline, rather than just a super cool percussion piece. Best of luck, do whatever feels right and keep making awesome sounds

ALECXACE responds:

I was actually thinking the same thing
Probably will :D

[One of Those Days]

Well this is just some excellent music! I'm happy you found the inspiration to continue the piece so that you could share it with us all:) Wonderful melodies that stay fresh and exciting throughout the piece, drums that make me want to get up and dance, beautiful harmonic accompaniment on the piano, the whole 9 yards. It's very apparent that a lot of work was put into this track, you've made some wonderful music here :)
