Phonometrologist's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Afeared]

You should collaborate with LunyAlex and get his vocals on top of this. The section from 2:35-3:35 is very enjoyable. My only gripe with this is the timbre remains the same throughout, and that is perhaps why I enjoy the section I just mentioned besides the great guitar playing of course. Hence I think having some vocals would complete the thing.
However in regards to the timbre, this is more or less my first impression, but when I go back to listen over it again, I really enjoy the progression of your guitar playing. I wonder if I would appreciate a darker tone in the mix as opposed to the higher frequencies in the distortion being so prominent. But hey it's Heavy Metal, and this is better than what I could do with the style.

JDawg00100 responds:

That is exactly why I felt a little disappointed in the song. I really wanted to add some variation to it, but I just couldn't quite fit anything in other than that section. And I think that section is great but I could have done more. As for vocals I would absolutely love that! And I appreciate the review :)

[Cicade]

Clever arrangement. I don't listen to Dubstep, but I can tell when something is put together well, and I mostly wanted to listen to my "opponents" music. You have my respect. Everything in between the typical drops that people enjoy is what I tend to like. This one is clever, and the mix sounds great.

Zanzlanz responds:

Hey thank you sir!

I was worried forcing melody into the drops would muddy the sound, but I knew people like you would be listening critically, so I risked a trickier mix in favor of that added emotion. So it's wonderful to hear you say the mixing was great. It reassures me that those decisions weren't damaging :)

[9-2-5 Routine]

Love your style. Your quirkiness works so well, and yes midimachine is right on about the guitar. I'm a fan. We need more originality like this in the world.

icantpronouncethis responds:

Thanks for checking it out. Even though the deadline for NGADM 2019 is over, I realize there's a lot of tinkering I have to do. Already made a list to add/fix for this track. Cant wait.

[Arrival of Hope]

The progressions and rhythmic motifs are great. This is quite enjoyable and pleasing to listen to. Nicely done.

AceMantra responds:

Thanks so much!

[Derpcat - Radium]

The intro is so good. I could listen to the first minute all day. My only wish is that you would develop that section more fully by making it its own thing. But thats just coming from a listener that doesn't listen to dubstep. Best of luck.

DerpcatOfficial responds:

Thank :)

これは良いこと！

[in time // rewind]

Rumor has it you went missing so you can concentrate being funky. But did you really need a month to do this? Nice job. If I make it past auditions, please stay away. Thank you.

johnfn responds:

If I remember right, it was about 2 days of work. But don't worry, I'm incapable of working on any days that aren't directly adjacent to a deadline, so you should be fine. :D

[[IV]Nigdzie]

Often times, I'll enjoy a piece of music here and I don't end up leaving a comment. Though, I want to let you I enjoy this one. Very somber and calm progression and with the melody, although simple, is quite effective in creating a nice reflective mood.

IglicaV responds:

Thank you, that's really kind and I'm really glad that you've enjoyed it.

[Return]

I miss hearing your work here as it's always a fun ride. Best of luck in the competition, and I'm looking forward to hearing more of your work. Although this is a short piece, I enjoy the form here. This piece has such a cool mystique within the piano parts. For NGADM, make sure you complete the train of thought as this feels like an appetizer.

LunyAlex responds:

Thank you for the kind words. Very welcoming. I'm glad you enjoyed the track. Good luck in the competition as well!

[Paradise Is This Life Not The Next]

Okay upon first listen, and not knowing what to expect, the first 20 seconds reminded me of Clockwork Orange. That was quite fun to have flashbacks in that moment.
Really enjoyed this one.
