Syrupmasterz's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[City Of Rain (Fucking Stupid Alternative Version!!!!)]

It's off to a great start, but as mentioned earlier I think having the tempo a little bit lower or lowering the volume of the highest pitch synth would help the song sound better.

Keep it up!

[Bass Camp!]

Well of course I wanted you to reference one of your own tracks! I gotta keep you on your toes somehow after all of this. haha

The drums really make this song. Even though I was totally after a bass-centric track, the constant thumping and variety of the drums and that organ you bring in towards the end is the reason I keep playing this song over and over to myself. :P

Of course, your bass playing is stellar. Especially since I now know it's all live recorded.

Top notch work man! :D

[茘枝 "Reishi" [Phonk]]

The Shogun invites you inside, where you are suddenly thrust into a Dance Battle for your life.

DreamEater responds:

Not just any Dance battle, a DANCE PANTS battle

Thanks for listening dude!

[Lucky Charms]

Not as delicious as the breakfast cereal, but still an enjoyable song to listen to. :P

Kinda sounds like a background track for a Lady Gaga song, and it's got enough progression to keep it fresh as it goes on.

Keep it up dude!

ScottJacob responds:

Thanks so much i appreciate the feedback!

[Beef(Instrumental)]

I thoroughly enjoy the middle, because the classical piano and hard drum beats makes it sound like the theme that would play when you challenge a butler to a rap battle. :P

ShareeBon responds:

Haha!
Thank you for your feedback!

[Cosmic Observer]

You guy's music is the thing that helps me keep the hope in me alive that there will be another Ape Escape game someday, your music always seems to find a way to remind of it. :P
I guess it's cuz both of your songs have that breakbeat/happycore feel to 'em. haha

Great work this time around! You got some nice sweeping synths to nail the 'cosmic' feel of the song, and the breakbeat is diverse and varied enough to keep the song fresh, without being so chaotic that the whole thing sounds like a disjointed mess. A tricky balance to achieve to be sure.

Then I read the description and find out that Boss was able to crank this out just by working during lunch breaks? That's some dedication right there! I find it hard to work while trying to snarf down food. Computer stuff is usually a two hand job for me :P

Hopefully you all can find continued success out there, let me know what your commission stuff will be like and maybe we can get something going.

Keep it up! :D

Noisysundae responds:

If you have to work while eating, you're doing it wrong. I only took 10 minutes eating lunch and another 5 for walking to and back from the food court. Left me 45 minutes to work on the track, plus about 30 mins before work. Took me for a total of 32 hours time spent over 5 weeks. I even ordered the same menu every lunch to make sure I didn't waste my time deciding what to eat. All of those actually worked, as long as I have enough strength to keep those up. On weekends, I switched to making the visualizer.

With all that said, I thanked the job for getting me figured out that my creative juices flow constantly. In my case, switching between tasks is better than working on one all day long. If I were to rush this thing at the last two weeks of 2018, the results might've been worse, and I'd have been bedridden right after new year. It also knock some sense back into me. I was slacking off too much before I got that job.

Did I write too much? Either way, thanks a lot for reading the description and pointing out how harsh my situation was behind the scenes. I'll always do my best. :)

All other stuff will be in the new post I'm publishing tomorrow night. I'll try to make it concise, though.

[Underground]

The first 45 seconds are pretty bumpin' my dude! I could easily see myself dancing to this. :P

Completely keeping in mind the fact that I'm not a musician, I have a tip that might make this song a little bit better.

After the 0:45 mark, the synth that goes 'Ba Bahh BaaaaaaAAaaaah' a few more times doesn't quite fit in as well with the other instruments as it seems too loud in comparison.
Changing the key they play in or maybe adding some distortion to it to make it unique from it's previous version until the soft piano kicks in would add some extra variety to the song and harmonize with the song's later synthesizers. :)

It might just be my speakers, so take everything I suggest with a grain of salt. haha

Keep it up man! :D

Synfang responds:

Thanks for the feedback. I'll keep your suggestions in mind for future reference.

[The Succubus]

The song that plays when you accidentally unlock that hidden boss, and proceed to get destroyed. :P

DanJohansen responds:

Sounds like that would be cool indeed! :D And the boss would most definitely be destroyed!

[Living a Lie]

I saw 'Song of Rebirth' in the description, now my mental image of this song is to do a funky rap dance to this song to please the gods in order to resurrect someone. :P

Not knowing the source material, I don't know how much is your doing and what's a sample but this is some cool stuff man. The 0:22 - 1:30 part is definitely my favorite though. It's amazing what some boing sounds, snippets of a singing voice and a satisfying beat can accomplish.

Keep up the good work!

[The Sad (Not Sad) Song]

While it is the result of some funny misunderstandings, the song is definitely good enough to warrant it's own name. No point changing it here, but we'll talk later about that. :P

I am a big fan of the low tempo and that bass. You also have some cool sweeping wind synths that I don't hear too often aside from certain video game songs, so you get some extra points for that. haha

Possibly responds:

Hey - sorry, forgot to reply to this. Thanks for the review. How about 'This music makes me feel something, but I'm not sure what' as a title. I've grown fond of Sad (Not Sad) in a way.
