Kwing's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[BossRiff1]

Sounds quite a bit like folk metal, with the synth sounding almost like bagpipes in a way. I like the intensity but it ends very abruptly.

thebitterroost responds:

Yeah, it's been sittin' that way for some time now. I'll finish it someday (I hope).

[Survival Gangster]

Frontpaged and 162 plays? Damn it what's wrong with this world? This feels like King Crimson mixed with Planet X. Overall great, polished and complex.

Kor-Rune responds:

Thanks man! I hope to see King Crimson one day, or at least Adrian Belew/Fripp haha

Must check out planet X, thanks a lot!

[Black Cat]

Here we go! This is hot as hell. Simple and straightforward but the scratching is just divine. Not much more to add to this, you pulled this shit off perfect.

Libby-Shimmz responds:

Thanks Kwing!

[[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.

[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.

[Omen Instrumental]

The siren sounds like something out of Silent Hill. The spook factor is awesome and makes this all the more intense. Only thing that seemed off was the percussion felt kind of light and high-pitched compared to how discordant the rest of the track was. I'd like to see what it would have sounded like if it were a bit more muddy and distorted.

HeIsAlive responds:

Thanks man. Yeah, the siren gave me that same feeling of the Church Siren from Silent Hill.
I wish I could change this instrumental, so I could test out making it more grungy/muddy/distorted, but the FLP save file got corrupted from moving it around to different folders somehow.

I will keep this in mind when I make future instrumentals. Thanks for the C&C KWing, I appreciate it.

[Dumbass (Clabtrap)]

Original and very distinct from the other hype tracks. You do an AMAZING Butthead impression. The beat was somewhat overbearing but I could potentially see that as being your way of covering up any flaws in case your impersonation wasn't perfect. Either way, nice beat, funny track. The rhymes are simple, but I don't think anything more complex would have been in-character.

Poniiboi responds:

man you went waaaaaaaaaay back in time.

[B7 - Boss Battle]

Very dark and intense. I like this a lot. Has the right feel for a big, slow boss.

Burn7 responds:

Yes!!! I'm glad you think it fits for a boss song, I kind of actually HATE the bassline's sound because I couldn't make it sound the way I wanted to :(

But anyway, I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for checking me out!

[Vicious Existence]

Holy shit, I had no idea you had tracks like this. Very strong Jedi Mind Tricks influence here, but the style is still highly distinguished. This is some real poetry man. The flow and rhymes are both real tight, although at some points the flow felt SLIGHTLY redundant - some triplets or maybe something as simple as singing in the hook might have given the track some more variety.

Best shit I've ever heard from you.

Teqneek responds:

Thanks Kwing. Hope all is well with you.
