sausagename's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[per sempre il mio amore]

i like it very much. it's lovely to listen to, and projects the feeling of a lone soul looking onto a world of beauty. infact, does a bit to inspire me with this feeling, being a visual artist. in this piece you find the love expressed from someone about what they find beauty in, and this love may not be shared, but the onlooker in content with what they have, not wanting to upset what they already have.
one thing to think about is that the piano seems lonely, as if the person whos emotions are subject is also lonely. i think it would be lovely if at some point in the song, perhaps when it is slower and just about to pick up again, the piano were to meet a friend: the violin. the violin may help the song to protray itself as less "lonely".
or maybe you prefer the sole image of a pianist alone, observing the beauty they have all to themselves. it all depends on the intentions of the artist. over all, an enjoyable piece.

[OOH]

dug this so hard it gave me blisters. i feel like it's missing one more element, though. right now, i'd rate it at beastly soundtrack. for a full-functioning environmental piece, id suggest one more subtle, yet crucial element. maybe something that will balance the harsh beat boxing with the soft, melodic vocals. for something that deserves more attention than a part of the environment, yet still remains chill enough to weave into the flow of daily happenings, i would suggest a female vocalist with a more jazzy sound (not r&b, JAZZ) scadding around. or possibly your own voice with some jazzy scadding. it sounds like you have that gentler range that can be more difficult to find in male voices, so you may be all you need.

I was thinking about adding guitar, I wouldn't know where to snag a female jazz vocalist. But you do bring up interesting points to consider. Thanks for the review!

[CLAB - Senator vs Scuare]

the senator has an undeniable charm, but scuare has his facts straight. he cut to the punch and held a solid argument involving his opinions that revolve around the reality of things. you can tell he has no shame in showing who he is. in this round, the writer defeats the rapper. for bringing some poetry back to the rhythm, i say scuare had this one covered.

[Fill Your Heartache...]

i am once again more than pleased with the results of your work. i find the title/lyrics to be very fitting of the rest of the song. its as if, at the beginning of the song, i still grasp my emotions, be they negative or posotive. slowly as the song progresses i am drowned in liquid sound, and no longer feel the need to hold on to things burdened with reality. by the time the lyrics come in, im completely submerged, lying at the bottom of a dark pool. here, there is only comfort, no knowing, no fear of not knowing, and no care to seek things otherwise. complete zen. its a lovely visualization, and ends up having the song seem like it passes a little more quickly than it actually does. for that reason, it may be nice for the song to be a little longer, but all good things must come to an end. my only complaint is that there is an odd gap in the song around the middle where, for me, its a bit empty. i like that the lyrics come in later, because if they were to start too soon in the song, it may become too repetative. i would suggest somewhere in the midsection that falls between the introduction of the song and the beginning area of the lyrics to have some subtle, even a little strange, beat to keep up the movement. or even a quiet little tune plucked on a string instrument.

[The Endless Dream]

beautiful. things like this inspire me to improve my own trades, as well as to continue seeking others who have turned their hobbies into forms of art.

Thank you my friend.

[XS - Thunder]

i DO like it

its not bad at all, but the thunder isnt to par with what it oughtr to be. i didnt even register the sounds of thunder as thunder at first. see, youve got the "POW", but not the whole "CLAP-POW-BOOM!". i just think there needs to be more in order to really capture that roar. its a magnificent sound, and deserves to be awed at.having the entirety of the awe-catching sound would give your song more headway into that deservedness. otherwise, its nice to listen to, and congradulations on your placement in the top thirty.

-good day

Jimmypig responds:

Yeah I get you, I didn't think of sequencing the thunder as such but great idea! It's difficult for me to notice this stuff at the time but in hindsight I understand. Keep the idea and make your own!

[Awake - Indigo Youth]

<3<3<3

i completely understood the concept as soon as the song started playing. it struck me like a lightning bolt in the sunshine. you tell a beautiful story about a beautiful concept, and i couldnt agree with it more.

[The Notepad]

guitar in the background

same riff from ozzy's crazy train. give him credit please? that, and i dont feel like the chorus flows as well as the rest of the lyrics. i think it might be seperated a bit too much by the double voice and repetition. i voted five because the song is still badass, but the seven is for the reasons listed.

Murdaa responds:

well about the beat.. i wouldnt know cause i didnt make it.. so take this as credit for who ever diserves it. this is kinda a demo track as im now learning to eq my own stuff.. would be killer to have my own producer tho

[Into Deep Blue - DubAudio]

visual artist here

ive gone through several of your songs, and i think i could definitely give you a good image from it. im not a digital artist, but i can promise you good quality and a clean scan of the image once i have it done. if you want to contact me about it and let me know what youre looking for, my email is [e-mail] .

i like the song, too :) only thing i might say critique-wise is to incorporate some more melody. it seems to be the same short melody looping over and over.

[Groovekiller]

hmmm.

the song is magical. i dont think ive ever heard something so accurately protray a laid back suburban groove. i like it, and a lot, BUT, there is a sound that comes in at 0:26 and again at 1:28 that kills the flow for me. it sounds almost like the screeching tires of a car. its not a bad sound for a song, just a bad sound for this song. at least, with how loud it is. if the sound were to be made quieter so that it were extremely subtle, or even if it were to be eliminated or replaced by something else, i think the song would be perfect. its just too harsh for everything else going on.
