JimmyTheCaterpillar's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[five.]

love how the single notes fill into the longer notes in the beginning --

the drums are cool, though i admit they feel a littleee out-of-place with the rest of the song, maybe they're a little too loud?

the single droning beeping note that persists through the beginning of the song and then throughout gets really noticeable around 1:20, i wish it would change up a bit or give the rest of the song room to breathe -- it's one of those things that once you realize, you can't help but hone in on it. the slow-down it undertakes around 2:00 is a welcome shift in that regard.

I actually really like how the outro slows everything down, it's really gentle.

cool track, ty :)

[Firefly Forests]

bop from the beginning, up until 0:30 is pretty flawless for what you're going for. as it progresses, i find myself wanting the BPM to increase, it's kind of not slow but not fast either, so it's in an odd middle ground but damn it goes hard no doubt!!

[And so... it all came crashing down at once.]

i'm a fan now tbh, i really love the energy you're bringing to your tracks -- they're clearly full of passion!!

i love the beginning here, the hats are really nicely interspersed, the the transition at 0:33 is also awesome, and I love how each instrument kind shifts to match it. the beat coming back in afterward is dope too.

The coalescence that takes place in most of the middle of the track is cool, though a lot is happening, and the effect that each instrument has is lessened a little bit. it doesn't outstay its welcome though so i'm not reallly complaining.

the ramp-up that starts around 1:40 is a welcome and well-implemented change-up to the above section critique, i love how it drops into that piano note.

I thought it was ending at the quiet bit, and I was a little sad -- I was glad that there was more.

The drum at 2:47 sounds a little stock-y, maybe a minor sense of being out-of-place with the rest of the song. Overall, the outro does go on a bit longer than it probably ought to, though I liked the subtle beeping leftover.

This song was very cool, and I enjoyed it a lot! Lots of heart here, I'm glad I listened to it :)

[BUY OUR PRODUCT]

super rad! i would have enjoyed maybe a couple more voice samples, or if the existing ones had been chopped up a bit more -- but the actual song and melody underneath all the samples goes really hard! the male voices too were pretty imposing. i liked this a lot!!! the ending was very suiting too.

and i agree, we neeed more weird music!! my recent tracks are pretty weird and unnerving if you want to check them out.

thank you for sharing, i really enjoyed :)

[Land of Hunger and Savageness]

this is cool! i love the sound effects, like the bats in the beginning, or the gurgling at 0:54! very rad, like a scary coaster ride. you should tag this halloween2023! it would fit well

Thanks for the tag recommendation, I'll do it! And I'm glad you liked it so much!

[Clubbin - Minimalism]

the first word I thought was 'bottles' lol!

While I thought the intro was just a few seconds too long, I really enjoyed the transition at 0:27 -- very sly. I really enjoy this segment to come a lot!

i feel like you could have been a bit more liberal with the bass hits at 0:55, i wanted to feel it morreeee.

there isn't as much excitement from here on, until about 1:35 where the hats kick in faster and faster, the energy gets going again.

After that it kinda levels out to a pretty standard end.

Some cool stuff in here,, the track is at its best from 0:27-0:54.

[Wooden Horse]

i feel like there's a longer song here! What was happening was nice and pleasant, but it didn't really go anywhere. No real bass or drumbeat -- but I think you could easily add some, and do a lot with this track. could be pretty epic. i like the overall sound, melody, and rhythm though -- the base is here!

[Synth-etic]

fun progression throughout -- reminds me of a more upbeat vein to Axiom Verge, especially with the bass drum. I really like the bass here.

I think the intro is a little long and the initial two sections are very samey, and the mixing doesn't lead to much of my interest.

after 0:55 though, there is a lot here to love -- the crunchy piano could probably be boosted a bit, but it's a great gateway into the meat of the song and the melody, which is all so panoramic and awesome. i love the variation and the way the instruments play off of each other. the kick-back in at 2:03 or so is well-executed as well.

I think the ending could have been executed a little better,, i understand cutting instruments out one-by-one for sure, but i feel like there's a better ending that's unique to this song hiding in there somewhere! i'd love to hear it!

i really really liked the core of this track, and i'm glad you shared it!! thank you :)

Thank you for the review!

[Onwards]

the flute coming in was really hype and did a lot for me with this track! i felt the intro was a little long, and I would have liked if there was some variation in the strings, but overall this was a cool, high-energy track!

[And My Credits v2]

funky little beat, works well as a loop :)
