BenSapphire2011's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[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! :)

[A Moment With The Harp]

Really good. I just wish it was longer.

bluelephan2 responds:

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I wish it was longer too. Right now, though, I haven't got the time (or the motivation) to extend this into a lengthy track.

[Whimsical Village]

For a second I thought someone was playing Skyward Sword in the background :\

I just love the feel this gives off. Great job.

Neon-Bard responds:

Thanks Ben! I'm actually a little surprised that you said that. Considering I'm a huge fan of Zelda games, that is quite the compliment. Thanks! :D

[Black Hole Syndrom!]

I'm starting to tear up. Just hearing a fantastic metal song like this is a rare occasion, I'm just so happy to know that this music is still being made... ;)

Oh, and F**K MAINSTREAM MUSIC. That stuff is CRAP compared to this.

DanJohansen responds:

Not much into mainstream music myself sir, I've given up on the entire music industry, the underground is where the good shit is at! :D ROCK ON and thanks bro

[Peaceful Fantasy Boat]

Very nice.

If you don't mind, can I use this as the music for a Village in a game I'm making?

Also, If you would make more songs like this, with the whole Zelda-like feel, that would be nice, thank you.

Nijg responds:

You can use this song, just give credit to Caleb Cuzner.

If you would like me to make some songs for you like this one, just send me a message with details and I'll write them as soon as I can.

(sorry for the late response; the new layout of newgrounds makes it hard for me to tell when there's a new review.)

[Skyrim METAL!]

WUT

WHOA! WUT WAS THAT?!

That was just scarily loud at the beginning!

This combines some my favorite things!

Metal, Skyrim, loud music, and EPICNESS! :D

Metaljonus responds:

Thanks! Is it too loud? lol

[Helloween(WIP)]

Wow.

This is really good! Heh, made me very happy when I listened. Thank you.

One suggestion: Make songs like this LONGER. It's a bit too short, but might work as some sort of loop if you hooked the beginning and ending together... :3

deendeon1000 responds:

hahah thank you:3 and i know it was just me screwing around with some core plugins
