Kwing's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Underground Wonderland ft. Gabb]

Fuck, you both came with mad flow. Gabb sounds like a British Apani Fly which is awesome. Rhyme schemes could have used a little tightening but for her first time this is positively mind-blowing. Overall strong tracks and nice bars too.

[Naco Bueno]

Nice beat. Feels very relaxing, but with a few gangsta rap type samples thrown in for good measure. Seems a little flat when the entire track is taken into perspective though, this would definitely sound better with some spitting over it.

[Artificial Intelligence]

Damn, I really love the triplets running over this. It gives the whole track such a mood of unease and restlessness that's complimented by all of the layers of percussion. Half a star off because I felt like this was an idea that didn't really reach full maturity or potential for setting a creepy atmosphere. Some more variety, samples or switchups would have made this really pop.

[Premonitions]

Really digging this one. Very catchy and laid back. I really like the syncopation near the beginning. Overall everything just blends like crazy and stacks on top of itself like a musical geodesic dome. At like two points it seemed like the beat lost a little momentum but other than that this is really tight.

[NGHH2011 Hype Track]

Could have sworn I reviewed this before. Flow and beat are nice as hell, sounds way too clean for a freestyle but still good, though very, very short.

[[S_Rock] Dredging Blood]

Love the grittiness. Dark and mean all around.

S-Rock responds:

Thanks! I like the grit as well! much appreciated

[Downfall]

Very nice, reminds me quite a bit of David Orr.

I see what people are saying as far as this missing something, and as far as I can tell it's that the sound doesn't feel organic enough. Some parts almost sound like trance while the rest is orchestral and it doesn't blend together very well. It could also use another layer or two of instrumentation to give it a little more bass to carry the seriousness of it.

EagleGuard responds:

Thanks for the review, much appreciated!

I'll certainly take the things you've said into consideration for my future productions. I've been working on my mixing skills for the last few months, so hopefully that'll fix some of the issues people mention with my music.

[Drumz 'N Stuff]

Quite good actually, but it needs more layers. Maybe a shuffashuffashuffa, vwoooow and some pew pew going on, aye? Also seemed to progress kind of randomly. I don't like repetition that much but the themes should be related to each other at least.

[Subliminal Instrumental]

This has a sort of dark-room-with-swinging-light quality to it. Discordant and addictive as hell. Overall it could probably use a few switch-ups here and there but this is one of my favorite beats from you.

HeIsAlive responds:

Thanks man.

[HW - 7/4 Chillout]

Yes, more wacky beats!! I will have to spit over this. Has more of a trace/rave feel to it than I usually like but it's good nonetheless.
