Syrupmasterz's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Citizen Wicked]

I do in fact get the impression that a certain degree of Evil is indeed near my Residence by listening to this song.

One of these days we need to have a conversation about music so I can understand the terminology better. haha
I know that there were system limitations for the PS1 and to a lesser extent the PS2, but what exactly couldn't be done, or what was the usual work around?

I know synths were used more in the PS1 era, but does that just mean it's what artists liked, or is there some sort of data saving trick involved with it?

Possibly responds:

I'd be lying if I said I had a good answer :D I think there were limitations in terms of sample sizes etc and sound chips.

[Waiting in Purgatory]

Purgatory sounds pretty funky actually. Just a jam session that just goes on forever in an otherwise empty place. Wouldn't be the best, but it wouldn't be the worst. :P

Possibly responds:

Yup, never quite getting to a chorus either :D

[Watch for Spiders]

Sounds like the theme song for a game show where you either win a lot of money...or a lot of spiders...

Play carefully folks! :P

[Frog Game]

I will happily buy merchandise from a frog if it's store plays this in the background. :P
Quirky and whimsical and it even has good song structure; it also just sounds rubbery, which fits frogs perfectly.

Agreeing with the folks below me, it totally has a Nintendo 64 vibe to it, but doesn't sound like a knock off of anything, fitting into it's own world. :)

Nice one!

[Top Dog]

I tried squinting my ears, but all it did was make it easier to smell things. :P
A fine track! The only thing that sounds slightly out of place is the first couple of quick notes that show up at intervals, the Duh-DOO of some kinda piano that's different from the main one. Afterwards the notes soften up, but it's the most minor thing in the world and I can't even properly describe it, so don't mind me. haha

Keep it up!

Possibly responds:

Fair. I think I put some discordant stuff in there for no particular reason. I was probably raging against some kind of machine, perhaps the Tumble Dryer. Thanks!

[The Void Looks Back]

"Sup Void!"
"...Sup..."

[GAME OVER]

"DANG IT!"
(inserts quarters)

[[Phantasy Star 2] "Hot Cocoa in the Ice Rover"]

Off season remixes are how I trick my brain into thinking it isn't boiling out during the Summer time, so thanks for this icy tune. :P

A good combination of being faithful to the original and adding some spice with the new synths. Good stuff!

HoboKa responds:

Thanks for leaving a comment! My remixes don't get enough love at NG >.<

[Mean]

Some good stuff. :)

[Abomi Nation - Boneyard]

This one has some nice smooth flow to it, even starts to sound tropical at some parts, but that's likely from the type of instruments and/or skeleton bones you used.

Whimsical and goofy, I would definitely try to avoid getting spooked by skeletons while this was playing. :P

ScottJacob responds:

Well perhaps if i assured them no skeletons were harmed in the making of this song they'll be cool lol
