Galneda's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[No More Cookies!]

This came out great! Everyone killed it with their respective impersonations, can't wait to work with y'all again!

VoicesByCorey responds:

If you’re down to help out with the new one just let me know Geoff! 😁

[The Dom and Fro Show Ep 3: Interview with Geoff Galt]

You both are kings! Thank y'all so much, this was a lot of fun! I'll use a better microphone next time, lmao. Thanks for going through editing this, I apologize for talking so, so much. I think I even interrupted a few times, I'll get better about that moving forward.

Much love, stay safe, THRIVE! Let's collab on something soon!

-GG-

DomAndFroShow responds:

Dom got a new mic and we tried a new system where we both record with audacity at the same time and it worked beautifully. In 2 episodes the quality will go through the roof in comparison.

[Melancholy]

Holy shit, this is heavy as hell! I love the pace, I love the tone of the guitar, it all feels so huge! Based on what I've heard from your soundcloud and now this, you've been killing it lately, and I'm stoked for you.

Would you mind if I sampled this for a rapbattle entry with a collab credit?

Sinitech responds:

Thanks, man! If you want to put a verse on it or something, it's all yours, brother.

[All Blues]

Perfect music to back a party and add a flair of class to the ambiance. It's VERY conversational; smooth, groovy, and never disrupts itself or the atmosphere for the sake of it. This is the kind of thing you could put on for your lady by a fire-place...as opposed to 87% of the metal in my library which would be better suited for thrashing her INTO a fire-place.

It's a cool change of pace from the kind of music I expect to hear out of the Audio Portal, and on that note, it's really nice too. If I reviewed this a few years ago, I'd probably deduct points for it not standing out or being dynamic and complicated...but by being bluesy, and not deviating from the theme at it's core, it's sturdy at the foundation, and like I said, there is ABSOLUTELY demographics and situations that would absolutely call for this kind of talent. With that in mind, it excells at what it does. So full stars and vote!

Lageira responds:

Thanks man! I'm glad you liked it :)

[On the last episode...]

I'm posting lyrics if anybody wants them...

"Draggin'ballZEE
Draggin'BALLzee
Draggin'ballZEE
Draggindraggindraggindraggin Ball! Ball! Ball! Ball!"

Ockeroid responds:

Thank you for posting. They have deep meaning and are very personal to me

[Crabs WIP]

This is pretty good, I don't know why you're so hard on yourself about it.

Needs to be longer, needs room to grow and dip and dive into time that mixes itself up. You're onto something good, dude. Fived!

Might need lyrics too :P

Sinitech responds:

I'm hard on myself because I'm hard for myself. I truly am a sexy beast.

And yeah, it will be longer once I finally get around to finishing it. As far as lyrics, this seems like it would be hard to do anything with to me. The drums sound kind of like they'd be awkward to keep on beat with, but I don't know because I don't sing or rap.

[What Am I Even Doing?]

Excellent Question.

Here's some possible answers:
-Just dicking around?
-Creatively trying to emote mind rot from too much time spent on video games through an audible media?
-Using artistic expression to let us hear what you hear in a mind gone sour?

It's not very appealing to listen to. It sounds like a broken hidden stage on an NES game that dives into the depths of insanity. That closes off the possibilities of me really doing ANYTHING with this song. I can't leisurely listen to it, I can't party to it, dance, jam, work, fuck, eat, or sleep to it. It has no practical utility other than in a game designed to be just as incoherent and messed up as it is structured. I can't vote highly on a song I don't particularly enjoy. Sorry.

MutantMindframe responds:

Thank you for the honest review. Your description of what it sounds like was pretty much exactly what I was going for! Sorry that it doesn't appeal to you.

[Timelapse (WIP)]

I'm about to have a timelapse right NAO

I was about to get into it preparing to be soothed like the guy below me had worded, but when the ringtone of Powerpuff Death sliced through my eardrums at a mere 0:29 seconds in, I found it difficult to concentrate.

This isn't trance, it's just flamboyantly effeminate in the opening bit, and it does so at a frequency most appealing with, what I'm assuming to be, a younger audience...this is far too irritating and repetitive in my opinion. Like that backing, "1-2-3-4-5, repeat" bass line....boring.

The bass line DOES get interesting a few seconds before the 3 minute mark, but when the synths kick back in full-blown at 3:41, you can practically see the contrailing hearts and starts fly out of an animation, and we dive back into the goofy parts of the song.

It finally starts sounding jammable around 4:55...but lordy was it a treacherous, bright and colorful road to get here. Then that ending "bass fuckin' around" riff was just whack.

The tiny sliver of fun that I found in this song was completely drowned out by the heaps of the unappealing aspects of this song. Some parts were too shrill, or too goofy for my tastes. It ain't Trance exactly, because nothing about it is calming...well, except for that neat bit at 4:50 which was WAAYYYYY too short. Most everything else, save for the bassline at 3:00 was like My Little Pony on acid. Don't ask me how I'd know that...

Voted 3/5.

ochrence responds:

Thank you for the review - I was hoping you guys would get around to it sometime. Sorry you didn't like it all that much though. Guess I was just trying to make a song in a major key, because just about none of my songs are in a major key, and it didn't really work.
The Trance genre didn't really pertain to it very much. It was meant to be kind of goofy, though - mind you, definitely not soothing or "flamboyantly effeminate" - but goofy. That's why I used pitch bend throughout instead of an actual set of new patterns. It was pretty experimental and I was actually expecting that everyone would hate it.
I'm glad you liked the 3:00 bass. I thought the 3:41 synth sounded kind of interesting, though...
The shrillness of this song and definitely that "bass fuckin' around" end riff that you described could be fixed very easily; however, the heart of the song cannot. If I abandoned pitch bend entirely and switched the bass pattern up sometimes, and changed the 3:41 synth as well as numerous synths in the beginning with appropriately serious-sounding ones, could it ever be good? In other words, are the patterns or the voices what is "flamboyantly effeminate"? PM me with the answer, if you get the time.
Otherwise, I'll just discard it. It's too faulted if that is true.
Great review, by the way, and absolutely up to the high standards of the Review Request Club. Thanks!
