Evilgrapez's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[~Emerald Brine~]

Etzer, you're on Newgrounds? Nice! TBH, I thought the same thing as 6359, but no, you make your own music, and it's good!

I remember your song in Garage Band that you uploaded to YouTube, and you were talking about how badly you wanted FL Studio. Personally, I like Logic Pro, but it's good to know you got FL Studio. I can totally imagine this in a video game, in some sort of diamond cave or something. Might even make that video game if I have the time. My complaints? It's a little repetitive, kind of short, and it doesn't really have an ending - it just ends. But pretty good. Hope you continue making music!

[Diamond Chords (Short loop)]

Kinda short...and it isn't that high quality. You should make a full version though. Good job anyways.

[Level Two [Melodic EDM]]

YEEESSSS FINALLY!!!

This song totally reminds me of Level One! And I like this one way better! I really like the similarities. I would leave a full review...but...I don't have time! I'm sorry! D: I'll try on your next track.

[Road to Devastation remix]

This is awesome! I love it! Great remix! :D

QJrocks responds:

Thank you! I was worried that you might not like it at that one part around 2 minutes where I had to make my own thing. Glad to see you enjoyed it!

[DJ-Mellon - Highway]

Sounds like something I would hear in a runner game! Great work! I don't think I have anything else to say then that.

HELP ME!! THE MELODY IS STUCK IN MY HEAD!! I CAN'T GET IT OUT!! AHHHHH!!!

The melody is so catchy that it gets stuck in my head all the time! So I just had to come back to this track to write a small review for it.

I never really thought you did Dubstep, but I can see you do it well. The melody is very catchy, and, as you saw above, it got stuck in my head for quite awhile. This is a perfect song for a fast-paced game, like Geometry Dash, or it's also good for a boss battle. If I ever need a tune like that, I'll contact you about this one. Anyways, I really liked the beat in this song. It just fits with the song really well.

I'm honestly not sure what to say, it's just a good song. But at least I tried to make a whole review this time! Don't stop making music, Striden!

DJStriden responds:

Yay!! :D I succeeded in my task, now I can throw a party! Glad you like the song. Indeed, I do wish to explore dubstep a bit further.

[DJ-M Power Brakes]

Pretty good. I really liked it.

[Mario and Luigi: BiS In The Final remix]

The nostalgia is real. Very nice remix! This was always one of my favorite final battle themes, and one of my favorite final battles. -1 Star because it got kind of repetitive.

What DAW (Digital Audio Work Station, for any new musicians out there) did you use to make this? I'd be very interested to know! :D

QJrocks responds:

Thank you for your kind words! Sorry that it was kind of repetitive, as it was originally ~1:45 in length and I decided to repeat it in case someone wanted to listen to it longer.

I use an app for the iPad called Music Studio. It has a large amount of instrument variety but inevitably does miss some, like the already mentioned orchestral hit.

[Fire's Eyes [Dance-Pop]]

You know, I do the exact same thing everytime: I say the song is good just like your other ones, and you respond saying thank you. But I noticed that this song had lyrics, which is different from your other songs (I think there were a few others though with lyrics, however), so I'm going to do something different and (try) to write a real review saying what I liked about the song and what I didn't like.

First, what I didn't like:

NOTHING

Woah, that's pretty cliche. Anyways, what I did like:

I really liked the lyrics. Did you sing them? It's really good. Sounds kinda like something I'd hear on the radio.

I haven't really heard a Pop song from you before (although I have heard a Dance one from you before)...is this your first one?

I also really like the piano in the background, and I like the effects you put on the vocals during it.

For some odd reason, this song reminds me of Owl City's songs, which is weird, because I can't really see a similarity. But I really like Owl City, so that's good.

That's all I can think of at the moment, but I'm sure there's probably more I forgot to include. Really good job on this one. This is going in my favorites. :D

DJStriden responds:

Thank you for putting in the extra time on your review :) It means a lot!

I did write and sing the lyrics, I'm glad you like them :)

This is not my first pop song, though it is the first I have officially released.

I originally had strings, but the piano sounded way better. Glad you like the result!

I draw a huge amount of inspiration from Owl City, it's not surprising there are some similarities here and there :)

Thank you for the feedback! I'm glad you like the song, and as always-
Keep spreading the music :)

[Sky's the Limit]

This song is...amazing. I want to use it now...if I had something fitting to use it in.

Great job on the song, Step. Don't ever stop making music.

Minus .5 because it was too short for how awesome it was. Someone needs to make an extended version.

Step responds:

Thanks for the boost in self-confidence! I'm glad you like this.
