DumbOctopus's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Zoftle - Tripsetter]

goofy ass Newgrounds votes on non-frontpaged songs, this is above 4.27 100%. I can't really point out any specific things I like in this one, the mixing is just really good (aside from small part at 2:20, but it's not that long tbh) somewhere and the song keeps the pace well. Absolutely epic.

Zoftle responds:

Thanks a lot homie!

[Pegging For Peace]

I watched as this atrocity came to life.

[Epic Rizzler and The Legendary Skibidi]

I'm watching you

[Piano Practice]

I love the harmony here! The melody feels very tragic, yet the rhythm keeps calm. I also like how
you place the chords on every 2th and 4th.

[Snikio - Sound of Death (AIM 2024)]

Damn... I've never heard more well made 808 patterns in my life. This is so awesome.

Snikio responds:

Thanks! Those 808 lines were definitely the hardest part of making this track, and I'm glad you liked it.

[Zoftle - Basswave]

you know the dubstep song is good when the waveform looks like an intestine after eating taco bell.
Okay, shitty (haha, get it?) comparisons aside, the song is good. The bass is awesome, and I absolutely love the square wave (I hope I got it right, I'm a musician but my ears absolutely hate me) melody. I like melodies that aren't trying to be specifically sad or happy, just adding to the atmosphere of the song.

Zoftle responds:

Thank you so much!!! 😭

[Cloudy Clouds]

Sounds so stupidly happy that I can feel the sugar in my blood rising

[thorn]

I've really enjoyed this song. It starts with a sad slow melody, making you think that the song will be calm and peaceful. Then drums start, and their speed give this song a whole new vibe. It begins to sound melancholic, maybe even hopeless. I love the conflict between fast drums and a calm melody, it makes me feel this emotion that I do not know the name of.
The chord part at 0:46 was kinda ok though, I didn't really like it.

[忍耐 / Paitience]

Sounds nice, but the vocals really need some effects. They sound kinda empty.

KeitaroYosh responds:

ooh I'll see, but thank you !!

[LG B2050 Ringtone - Winning Run (YM2151 + Sega PCM)]

Sounds like a song from a Sonic romhack. Romhacks usually had some crazy songs in them, usually taken from another game or somewhere else, and they were beautifully arranged to fit Sega Genesis's limitation.
