HoboKa's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Futurelovania]

This has a funky vibe alright. Haven't played Undertale, but I am getting some Earthbound vibes here. At 0:53 onward it starts to unravel a bit imo. There's another layer of the repeating rhythm that doesn't really add much and sounds a bit annoying =l

Personally, I think it's better as a loop point from start to 0:53. Not sure if the rest is really an addition...least to me.

Caveat: the unique drum ideas work pretty well. You could probably rinse and repeat and just use those additional drum patterns to spice things up. *shrug*

Maybe other people will have more insight or better opinions.

CompXsco responds:

True

[Sub-orbital Base]

The detuned (5ths?) are a really nice touch. Great syncopation too. Pulsing rhythm is kick ass. Could dance the robot to 'Sub-Orbital Base' too.

[Broken]

Could use a bit more humanization, but pretty good melody and rhythms.

DjTheDarkFlameMaster responds:

Thanks for your commentary bro, have a nice day!

[Megaman X - Dr.Light (Project X Cover)]

oooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo!! This song gave me mad ASMR as a kid. Heh, you adapted that jazzy rock vibe from the other source tunes of MMX and created a kick ass cover-mix. Creative!

[Megaman X - Cast Roll (Project X Cover)]

For propriety's sake. I recommend grabbing this album, folks.

[Boots Of Boss Rushing]

ALRIGHT retro chip sounding shtuff. 'Boots Of Boss Rushing' reminds me of Chrono Trigger and Battle Toads.

[Rage Inferno]

This is fucking metal alright. I don't know if I've said this before with you, but I get mad Painkiller vibes. But enough about me, which bands were you inspired by? 'Rage Inferno' is killer.

Sykozealot responds:

I'm inspired by a ton of bands however for this song specifically

Bands like...
Dream Theater - Mostly based on how the riffs give out a dark feeling
Black Label Society - Them sweet Low end Pinch Harmonics
Megadeth - The driving drum rolls and dark melodic tones
Sonic Mayham - AKA The dudes that made music for the Quake games

[I feel at peace down here]

Hey thar fellow CompoVerse'r. I don't do OHC much, but I host MnP and I participate in PRC a ton.

Anyways... 'I feel at peace down here' is a nice water tune. A bit fast-paced for my tastes, but the melodies and instruments were more or less good choices. I think it might benefit from 10 to 20 BPM reduction. :P

GreyHooves responds:

Heyo. I haven't heard of either MnP or PRC, what are they?

Thanks for the critique. I might return to this one in the future to tweak or remix it, so I might see how it sounds with a slower tempo :)
