MistyE's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Leo's Blues]

A beautiful musical representation of melancholy. Wonderfully executed.

BenTibbetts responds:

Thanks a lot!

[Attention To Detail]

I agree with Csucskos about the high-pitch ticking. Otherwise, this is nice. The kalimba is a great choice and suits this well. Keep it up!

BenTibbetts responds:

Okay, thank you!

[I Stand In Awe Of Your Light]

I really like the cinematic feel this has. The whole song seems to have a colossal vibe to it, and I think the unconventional long-form song structure contributes to the cinematic feel. The structure really works in the song's favor, and I like how the song progresses. Atmosphere-wise, I'm getting boss battle vibes from this one. The track has the intensity to be able to soundtrack a boss battle, as well as melancholic undertones.

The piano additions at around 2:00 are pretty nice, well done. Moreover, the key change near the end at around 5:50 was well executed. If I have any criticism, it might be related to the snare sound. Personally, I feel it sounds a bit crude or crash at times and conflicts with the other aspects of the song, mostly during the fills, like at around 3:28. Overall, this is a well-constructed track. Keep up the good work and good luck on your future endeavors!

ADR3-N responds:

Thanks! I was half unsatisfied with the snare myself and may go back to change it a little bit. Very much glad you liked the song!

I took a nap after I voted, then totally ignored the radio and internet news until the next day. Then I asked some friends on GTA Online about what happened with the vote, "What you didn't know?" If it was bad news, I wanted to hear it from a friend, not the shills in the MSM (mainstream media). Sure was a pleasant surprise.

Great voice. Very very interesting listen, really liked hearing your accounts of all the presidents you've lived through, your thoughts felt very composed too.

VicariousE responds:

I surfed the non-sequiturs mighty close, wasn't easy to recall the linear settings from past to present, but since it was me saying it, needed some kinda context. Sure got iffy towards the end, so much has happened in the past 8 years. Not happy with all the SJW stuff Obama did, especially in the DOJ (or what's left of it). He barely spoke to anyone in the House or Senate, and in that time, the Congress has passed a staggering amount of secret bills... and https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/despite-a-post-snowden-push-for-openness-report-shows-secret-laws-still-abound

[[Tsets] - Rain Shadow (WIP)]

Really laid-back vibe I'm getting from this one. The kick drum strikes me personally as being too high in the mix, but it's not really a big issue. Mixing and production-wise, everything seems good to me; you have nice tones and soundscapes going on here.

My biggest criticism of it would be that there isn't that much going on musically that's very engaging; it's need of more memorable motifs - the track just feels like a chord progression with not that much else going for it, y'know?

Still, it's definitely an enjoyable track, and you got the vibe you were going for. Keep up the good work!
