Luke's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fucking with Hardstyle | SN]

Bangin'

This is really good man! Love the kick too!
Hardstyle isn't definitely my favorite music, but a genre I can tolerate for sure. Like the guy before me said, most music like this on Newgrounds is garbage, in my own personal opinion.
I wasn't expecting much coming in to this one, but as you said in your response "hardstyle is sort of just a "LOOK WHAT I CAN DO!" type of thing for me" ... You earned the bragging rights you mentioned, this shit makes me wanna dance and I hate dancing... So that's saying something.

The only thing I don't enjoy about it is the length, if you could make it an extra five minutes from what it is now, I'd be jamming to this daily... Keep at this man, you're real good at it.

SessileNomad responds:

i could easily make a 7 minute 'dj friendly' length track, thing is with tracks like that, people often dont liek how repetitive it can get

[Spectral Sojourner]

Well done

This is probably the favorite audio submission I have reviewed today!
I really enjoy the little story you have behind it in the description, definitely gives the listener a neat way of thinking of it while listening, however everybody hears and sees things a different way.

When the drums came in, I thought of Alan Parsons Project for some reason, haha! And they're brilliant, so I hope that means something to you when I say that, given you have heard of them.
This is an excellent song my man, don't stop doing what you're doing, ever. Music like this is worth money.

Birdinator99 responds:

lol you actually have no idea how awesome that is -- I've definitely heard of them. Don't worry, I plan to continue doing this kind of stuff.

Thanks very much.

[Grandiose Manipulation]

Really nice

This wasn't bad at all, I have a soft spot for 'classical' music, although in a way I don't consider this to be under the classical genre, not sure what it would be, but as far as the genres on Newgrounds go, I believe it is labeled accurately.

Definitely sounds like it should be in some sort of game on this website, perhaps for a cutscene of a fantasy game, that's what I thought of the whole time while listening, although at first it reminded me of Harry Potter.

Real soothing though, not quite sad like SCTE3 said, just relaxing... I enjoy this a lot, keep up the good work.

callitsleep89 responds:

Thanks for the review! I think the inclusion of the celesta is what makes some people think of Harry Potter.

I wish the genre selections on newgrounds included subdivisions of classical type music, such as film score.

[An Indivisible Schism]

Unique..

At first I wasn't feeling this at all, mostly because of the heavy static at the beginning that SCTE3 had mentioned. After all that is over and dealt with, it gets very catchy.
Extremely well put together, I think I'd have a hard time mixing a track like this, so you definitely did a good job at that.
Somehow reminds me of a sort of song to be in a video game trailer, classic arcade style game, maybe like Castlevania or something... No idea why, but that's what I'm feeling!

Digging it though man, good stuff for sure. Looking forward to see what else you can come out with!

Kirbyfemur responds:

Well as i said with SCT i like dissonance, and it might come off as painful to others, so i am sorry that it hurts yourguys's ears. But you've sometimes got to push past a difficult part in order to get to that in which you might like rather than always having something out there that is only supposed to sound nice :3

[Hackd Station w/MCMao&NoCoins]

Hell yeah

Had a lot of fun making this track man, turned out real good.
Hope everyone enjoys!

MaoDaMighty responds:

Hellz ye!

[Lejin - Let'em]

Fuck em

Everybody's bashing you, and it makes no sense.
Throughout the past few months I've spent more than half my time on Newgrounds in the audio portal since I've been doing so much music myself.
I've heard a lot of rappers on here, and you're easily one of the best. Sounds professionally recorded, mastered of course... It's good shit man, I'll be sure to check out all your tracks eventually. Keep doing what you're doing man, got mad talent.

[Retire - Ryder(RYD)]

Diggin it

Aye, good track man. Delivery is great, love the flow. Sick beat.
Just saw your review on my one diss track, and thought I'd check you guys out.
Real talent, digging it for sure.
Look forward to future tracks!

Check out my latest if you will, it's another diss to that guy. Major improvements though, I'm sure you'll like it. Hit me up some time if you're looking to collab with somebody, I'm always open to collaborations, just real busy with collabs right now... Got three I'm working on, fucking busy. Let me know though.

RemixF2D responds:

collabs are always fun stuff dude just like you said though it takes time so we will def let you know if we have any tracks that you would be nice on and you be sure to do the same as of right now Im putting the finishing touches on my Reckless Youth Division mixtape Rymix has his solo album hes putting together and mastering and then we got the AftyrLyfe album Fresh 2 Death that should be dropping 2nd quarter of this year so stay tuned and let us know what you think many thanks for the vote/rate/review keep in touch holla.

[It's a Murder {First Version}]

Loving it

I love beats like this, and I've been looking everywhere for a free one. I'm a horrorcore rapper, this is a prime example of beats I need!
Thanks a bunch for the upload, you got a lot of talent as I've gone through a number of your audio submissions now, all great shit.
I hope you don't mind if I use this?

janiev responds:

Hey, thanks for the review! Appreciate it! :) Ofcourse i don't mind, just let me know.. i do want to hear it :)

[Gangster Mafia]

Not completed?

I ask you this because I am making a NG mixtape, me rapping over beats I find from here.
I did 2 verses with this beat so far, but I have a feeling it isn't done... Is there a full beat of this? I'm loving it man.
Let me know, and if you don't mind me using this beat, please tell me cause I am submitting it soon and will be giving you credit for the beat.
The mixtape will be up for download eventually as well, totally free.

Love the beat man, really great, love the old school mafia.

aliasf responds:

yo man i heard your rap not bad...well i can make it longer and such if you would like...the original one of this had different drums but it disappeared because of a virus but anyway if you want the verses to be longer to spit more bars i can do that...shoot me a pm
