JimmyTheCaterpillar's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[House of Jubilation]

eerie is definitely right! am I hearing strategically based wrong notes? It's interesting. the pitch is super high, so I couldn't listen to it very loudly but, there is a mood here. very striking tone that I think matches with the title super well. it's very unsettling in how hard the song is almost, like, grinning at me. I really appreciate that the song strikes the way it does without getting too hyper and speedy about it.

yorusa responds:

thanks a lot for reviewing i appreciate it

[Mirror (Radio Edit) - JustiXian]

I feel like the vocals are operating on a different key than the rest of the song. It sounds a little like square peg in the round hole. It's quite jarring, especially when the rest of the song is generally nice and inoffensive (for better or for worse) the re-drop that cuts the vocals out sets the piece back on track and the ending bit that starts at 2:40 is probably my favorite portion of the song overall. It's the most uniquely voiced portion of the song, whereas a lot of the first half is YouTube-Vlogger intro-y. I think this is my problem, though? I'm not sure... I feel like the song feels just a little cookie-cutter for the genre and I am left wanting more of what makes you as a producer tick. It seems very general in its progression and instrumentation. I hope this doesn't come across as rude. I wish you the best!

JustikShow responds:

Yo! Thanks for your review. I'll keep on trying to do my best.

[GAT⊕R TR⊕UBLE]

we love the alligators!

Charlmot responds:

Very much appreciated, glad you liked it!

[Fake Paradise]

you could probs mark the genre here under Drum & Bass, but this is awesome!! I feel like it conserves your unique ideas in sound but mainly keeps things consistently fresh throughout. there's never a dull moment here and that's why i like this song a lot!!!! well done. there's not exactly an ending but other than that, it's right on.

I would love to hear some of your weird soundfont ideas with this level of polish and consistency! :) i'm getting inspiration for my own music at this point. thank you so much for sharing these!

TheKindDevil responds:

Hey, Thank You For Your Valuable Feedback! : )

[Other Worlds]

i really like the backing in the 2nd half. it meshes with the forefront so well, gives the track a great sense of body and depth.

i feel like overall not a lot of unique stuff is happening here but this is very well-crafted nonetheless ; i would dance 2 it at the club 4sure

Axsou responds:

Thanks, I wish I made this one instead of my first vip because it wasn’t accepted at the formal I went to, there is a quite unique collab in the works though (if I can finish it lol)

[IAmRustin - scratchy (TRACKTOBER)]

love the way the scratching sample gets played with here throughout, though at times it feels just a hair offbeat.

the track is pretty lowkey but the quality is not! you have a great ear for structure & its super super impressive you made tracktober work. keep up the passion, you can go really far!

200andSeven responds:

thanks for the feedback!! excited to do this again next year 🙌🙌

sloggermusic responds:

Thanks so much!!!!!

[D3NTISTXCOMMERCIAL]

this is hype I love the little lead that could!!

I love the percussion, I love the single off-key note that plays at 0:30 to signal in the heavier chords -- like honestly. I love the choppiness of it. There is a futuristic quality here that carries hope and mundanity in equal parts. It kinda reminds me of Laurie Anderson (Big Science; O Superman) whose energy I love.

Thank you this one is awesome! The name is hype too :D

F1regek responds:

haha thank you again! this song is pretty much just me experimenting with layering sounds and creating "landscapes" of sound and I am pretty proud of this too! im glad u liked it aswell :)

[old one, cold stinker]

the overall atmosphere successfully is imposing and eerie.

however, I find a lot of the percussive qualities of the track feel off-beat, as if they're being played randomly across the bar with no real pattern. This is evident especially in portions like 0:55-1:00. I believe this sort of clashing is bringing down the track a bit.

I like the percussive sounds in a vacuum however -- the part I mentioned earlier, sounds like spoons scraping against a bowl and it's kinda freaky and I like it.

My favorite portion of the song is essentially 1:32-1:54, where it feels like everything is in the reins working together. The drop is cool, especially because the mood doesn't exactly stop. I love the kinda fake drop that happens right at 1:31, making way for the real one at 1:41. Very fun.

The ending is kinda metronome-y and I feel like that could be improved too!

Overall, this is an interesting track with some unique flavor and I appreciated the listen, thank you! Keep going :)

F1regek responds:

wow thank you so much for taking the time to write this!! i definetly agree on some parts the end was supposed to be like a metronome thingy but i appreciate you a lot for this review!!
