TacoMilagroIII's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Submerged]

I like this, the imagery is definitely in the music. I think it's the harp sounding instrument I hear that really drives the underwater home, and the bassline being slow sort of gives the feel of the unsure steps of exploration.

stunkel responds:

Thanks for leaving feedback! Yeah the harp was definitely a big factor in writing this song. That plus the solo violin along with the piano was all very beneficial to the whole underwater feel. The defending baseline too! That was a big factor as well, the slow movements were very influential to that mystic exploration. Thanks for reviewing!

This could definitely be intro music to a Dungeons and Dragons style computer game, or walking through the woods/abandoned camp/bank of a river. Definitely makes me picture Cloud from FF7 running around, all blocky and probably about to get attacked by a fishwolfpigsquirrel. It is repetitious, but I don't feel that it takes away from the work as a whole. I wouldn't put it on my MP3 list, but I would put it on a playlist when I was playing fantasy setting video games. I think the woodwind at the beginning and the looped harp are the parts that would stand out in my mind as the most memorable parts. I like the snare drum as well, and it's at a good volume. It builds a little tension without disturbing the preexisting flow of the song. Good stuff.

Knoxius responds:

Nailed it on the head! I'm a huge FF7 (Nobuo Uematsu) fan, and I consider this to have come from the endgame crater music, crossed with WoW's Mists of Panderia (the true immediate influence, after calling in to Blizzard and being subjected to hold music).

Always have been troubled with repetitious composition, but I love and appreciate your breakdown of this song!

[Sundans - Vas Normandy]

There's a sort of middle eastern swing to this that I really like. The drop is pretty nasty, too. I liked the depth and flow of it, it was definitely a good listen.

Sundans responds:

We are glad you liked it! Thanks!

[Eternal Vigilance]

This is pretty bad ass. I like how you make it sound like two seperate beats merge together at one point.

AliceMako responds:

At one point or another, sure.

[Creeping Death]

I think you got pretty close to what you were aiming for. There's definitely a cinematic kind of feel to it, where the song progresses as if telling a story. Something about cymbals and what I think was a hihat was bugging the crap out of me. It sounds kind of hollow where I feel like it ought to ring out. I like everything else but the intro. Solid metal. Overall, I thought it was really good.

RokaiYotama responds:

Thanks man, every vote counts :D But yeah, ever since I changed recording software I've had that problem with the hollow sound coming from my symbols. And I'm too broke for something like EZDrummer (which I really want too D:). I'll do what I can with the drums in the meantime.
