DoctorStrongbad's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Hiphop loop]

I know this is a loop, but 15 seconds is really short. It would be better if the song was closer to 30 seconds at the least. Hip Hop is not really my favorite music, but you did nice work following the hip hop formula.

Cyberdevil responds:

You're gonna see some reaaaally short loops ahead if you keep going here though. :) Back in the day it was better the shorter it was really, since you had limited filesizes and connections to work with, as long as you could get it sounded somewhat seamless... hope you don't the second-long ones later on hmm...

You might be seeing a lot of hip hop here too later on unfortunately, it's personally the genre I like and work with most these days.

Thanks for the review though!

[Difference]

At first, I noticed the catchy beat. The rhythm keep me going until the end of it. The different instruments work well together, especially the percussion. I can see myself playing an action game in this song. I like to imagine myself doing stuff as I listen to music.

Cyberdevil responds:

Heeey DSB! You stumbled onto one of my very first tracks here! :D Glad it still holds up after all this time! Would love to see this in an action game too hmm, or any type of game for that matter, if nobody else makes one maybe we could some day...

[The Haunted Mansion]

A good song should sound great, but also tell a story. You have succeeded in both areas. I can imagine my self going past the trail, and into this Haunted Mansion. Well, a mansion that could possible be haunted? The different sound effects for different rooms is amazing. All of the ambient sounds, like the thunder, are top notch.

PuffballsUnited responds:

yay I'm glad to hear it!

[Neo-Pegasus]

The loud and intense Heavy Metal sounds, are combined and enhanced by the lighter and unique anime pieces. The additional of video game music was a perfect way to help cross the gap between power metal and retro goodness all in one track. This song could be included in a video game for a large boss battle.

DanJohansen responds:

Appreciate it man! Rock on!!

[The White Cobra's Pharaonic Entrance - Halloween Special]

Halloween style music is the best, but there is never enough. I have no idea why it was not given its own category to search, but lets get back on topic. The Egyptian tone goes great with the Halloween theme. The White Cobra is just trying to have fun, and maybe punish some rotten children. Top notch work.

TheMusicalManiac responds:

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you love it! Happy Halloween :3

[Fleeting moment]

There is a great tone and beat to this song. It will get stuck in your head while you are working away, or just day dreaming. This reminds me on an ending sequel in a video game. I just defeated a major boss, and the game is showing me flashbacks of my progress so far.

Maffi responds:

Damn dude, i can totally agree with this being some kind of a end game song

[stream]

The rythmn is solid and keeps the tone. I was trying to imagine a stream with a steady current while listening to this song. The music flows well, while still keeping the classic Sythwave feel.

wilidacious responds:

thank you!

[Nevada Vice (feat. DoubleThunder)]

The melody is sharp, and keeps the beat in time. Nothing better than some smooth synthwave tunes. This is nice entry for the Somewhere in Nevada 2 musical album.

MonoCronic responds:

Thank you so much!

[-Aeropolis-]

This is a good combination of a video game track and some solid funk. The rythmn is solid and has just the right amount of swing. You can really feel the vibe.

Preds responds:

Thanks!

[Undone]

There is plenty of heavy in this heavy metal. Good use of guitar work, it really comes through very well. If you are going to redo a song, you have to improve upon it. This redo, did its job. I really enjoy this newer version.

FarFromSundown responds:

Thank you so much for listening man! I definitely try to revisit some of my favorite songs every now and again as I notice myself improving over the years. I'm really happy with this one. but I have another song coming down the pike that I've been working and reworking for YEARS now. I'm actually really excited for this next one!
