Cryptowen's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Bounce to the The Beat]

All beatboxing?

A few parts are very impressive if they did indeed come out of your mouth unaltered.

roboshopquartet responds:

Thanks man!

[Bowoah]

Yay mouth samples

I applaud your creative sample use. However, the song itself does seem to follow standard sort of techno structure. I can't tell if I think this is clever or gimmicky.

The "bass" sound is rather annoying.

roboshopquartet responds:

Thanks for the review, but I would just like the say that I do not sample anything. I am a beatboxer, and all of this is non-layered beatboxing strait from my mouth.

Although I do think that if I did sample mouth sounds, that would actually be something extremely creative! Haha, I never thought of that before.

[The Twith Effect (TE)]

What he said

I agree with devoq81, pretty much (except for the under two minutes bit. I've heard all sorts of good songs that are under two minutes). This feels like you threw sounds at a sound wall & recorded what stuck.

Cdragon94 responds:

It's suppose to be short and simple... x2

May I add: it was thrown together quickly for a friend while sounding at least decent, giving it below a 3 and 5 you're just being a god-damn jackass.

[Penis Balls]

Defensive?

Dang, man, your author comments are so defensive. Be open to a little criticism, m'kay?

Like I said in my other review, this song feels like the start of something that's a long ways from finished. How much time do you take to make songs? You should think about taking more.

And I don't think anyone will "complain about how disgusting or offensive it is". You're justing repeating two words over & over with no further intent. It's not particularly shocking. Immature, maybe.

jUMPYm4X responds:

lol thanks man. i was being a little to defensive. and yes....it is immature lol

[Cities In The Stars]

Shabazza84

I don't think the first reviewer gets the idea behind 8bit music...But, to be honest, some of the guitar stuff seemed harsher & more dissonent than the Game Boy sounds, to me. Not a bad song, but perhaps a bit on the long side. I'm not sure. It may work as a jammin' sort of thing.

LLAAPPSSEE responds:

I don't think so either, oh well. There was only one part in the song were i really wanted the dissonance to be. That was the guitar at about 2:02. I just wanted it to build up that section very harshly then end on the lighter side of the song. Cant win 'em all i guess. This was my first attempt with 8-bit. I plan on making more centered around space-based imagery.

[The Birth of a Demon]

Works

For a solo, it works. Very soundtracky. Choir is rather canned sounding, though.

malkavianxx responds:

Well I'm really fuckin sorry I don't have a real choir at my beck and call! would that make you happy if I did? cause I think I'd be happy to.

[Wave Race: Mega Twilight City]

Chip Tune!

I always get nostalgic when I hear chiptunes. I quite like this one, except for the main theme bit (that part that ends the song). Maybe it just need time to grow on me. But the sounds & pulsing bass rhythm are fun. What do you mean, though "gonna be made from scratch"? Is this one a remix or something?

Mr-Roc-a-fella responds:

No I got this song from Wave Race 64 but my next song is gonna be original.

[ellifunt- Underground Tunnel]

Silence

The breaks to quieter bits help. Anything that helps keep a song from being nothing but one long techno riff is a good thing, in my book.

ellifunt responds:

hey thanx thats exactly what i was thinkin!
wish u woulda voted, since u reviewed tho.

[Lifeguard Buttsex]

2 a.m.

IIt's 2 a.m., & this song is really driving that fact home. I'm not sure what to rate this, at all.

ModernMongoose responds:

Its all good man, like I said. Its nothing to hit the top 5 charts, its just supposed to be dumb as hell.

[Da Techno Blues]

Huh?

You could have at least fixed the volume cutoff, there.

CampinCarl8686 responds:

srry about this song...it wasnt meant to be so short...this is actually a pattern of the full version that i accidentally uploaded instead.

the full version is posted if u wanna listen to it.
