BenSapphire2011's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Awakened from Cryosleep]

I heard this one on youtube and I gotta say I am just in love! The joyous mix of chiptune song and dubstep vibe was super unexpected and it just brought me back to 2012, in such a good way. I give you some very late kudos!

[Red Stallion]

Arright, this song is fucking kickass.

I thought that it might be another one where you clearly put effort into it and it wasn't my thing, wah wah, but nope. This was excellent, and a pleasure to listen to.

I like the drums ^.^

[The Glazkov Syndicate]

Honestly, I don't like dubstep. This... Was not bad at all.

It has an interesting feel to it. A hard, deep feeling slamming with some kickass instrumentals.

I don't call it great because the vocals did annoy me, like the random mouse shouting, and the dude saying "BRING THE BASS BACK." I just wanted to hand him the bass and I wanted him to get off my GODDAMN LAWN YOU F-

Anyway, good job, it just wasn't all my style, but who cares. Keep up the good work, AP.

[~Devastation~ -hania]

The instruments of an underwhelming kids song, and the vocals of a pop song written by a rhythmically challenged hack combine to bring you... A boring mess.

A lot of effort is visible, tho.

[Aqua Slug]

Does anyone honestly know what 'Classic rock means'?

This song, upon my previous complaint, is an okay song, I guess. It was hoppy and annoying, but that was intended so ehh...

[Glassed Graves]

This, uhh... This isn't rock. It also isn't that good.

It was very repetitive, which is not good for a seven minute long song, and it was very annoying.

Also, the message did not come through at all.

IntenseComplex responds:

Yeah, I know what you mean. This project was one that annoyed me for awhile because of the reasons you highlight. It's based around cemetary gates by pantera, and i could've really just cut out about 2 minutes from the end, but i didn't enjoy listening to the whole track because i couldn't find anything cohesive with that drum beat i made for it. I'll probably wind up reworking it later, I do sort of feel like i pushed this one off my "desk" (mind). Thanks for the 2nd opinion though, sometimes I'm just not sure if the sounds are worth the extra effort.

[Tetris (Hardstyle Rmx)]

Honestly, I didn't like it.

I thought it was very choked and never really built up to anything. I thought it was very repetitive and annoying. The skips, OH the skips. It's really jarring to have a consistent beat, especially in a minimalist song such as this, and then it pauses. Hrng...

It's mainly that this just isn't my style. Different strokes...

Djjaner responds:

thanks

[In a While]

Dude, I feel like NG is trying to hypnotise my with these visualizations...

Very relaxed and peaceful. Good job.

Semaphore responds:

Thanks =)

[-Ricochet Love-]

Gonna skip the ass-kissing, and make an actual review.

This is, like you state, a "Breaktrance" song. Dunno exactly what this means, but I'm guessing it has heavy emphasis on beats and the like, but is a relaxing song. I do agree, but it can be also used in a very action-packed environment, as displayed in the ever so popular Raze 2. A very good job, but at times gets a little unnecessary with some sounds. 9/10.

Edit (5/9/2021): I was an idiot. Every sound, every detail, every bell and whistle in this sound fills my heart with energy and makes me dream of soaring the skies above a wretched battlefield. In this wordless ode to competition and conflict lies a haunting duality, presenting both the joy that comes from wanting and trying to be the best, but the horrible calamity that naturally arises as a reaction.

Though I would gladly take any form of this song, I wouldn't replace it or the memories associated with it for anything in the world, not even that indisputable first or crossing that horizon.

Waterflame responds:

Thank you! :) I agree, I plan to do a remake of this at some point! :)

[Danger Ahead]

Listening to this cute little loop brings me joy. I hope you're proud that you've been producing amazing content for more than ten years. THAT is something, my dear.
