VicariousE's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fallout]

Since it's not April 1st, I'm staggered you belted this out in one take, you sexy Ron Perlman sounding guy you :3 The next round of Nuka Cola's on me bud!

deathink responds:

It wasn't too hard, I just used the "speaker" perk.

[Mcdonald's Theme]

What a wonderful voice, and in such good harmony! In the first third of the song, you can sometimes hear your breath on the microphone. What you need is a 'pop filter'. An old panty hose, stretched out between you and the mic, is all that's needed :)

Chrytelbelle responds:

thank you so much.. :) i didn't know that panty hose can be a pop filter.. thank you for the tip and for your nice advice.. it's so helpful.. :)

[Campfires]

The piano would sound much better played, than emulated, mainly due to the tight progression of notes in spots. The break 3/4 of the way through sounds good, but then again, the guitar notes at the start of that sound overly synthetic. If could could tweak a few notes for length, this piece would sound like it was composed not created.

MistyE responds:

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it and I'll take all of this into consideration.

[Badgers in Space]

Good title, good tune! The piano sounds a bit like Schroder from the Peanuts, maybe because the guitar is set back a pace too far. It's a good setup of instruments, I'd like to hear another one like this!

MistyE responds:

Heh, now that you mention it, it does sound like Schroder. Thanks for the review!

[Feel]

Pleasant, perfect mix of instruments, lead and back beats, a salad bar of excellent noise! I guess having grown up in the 80's, makes me partial to this kind of musical construction. Ambitious, full bodied, like a dark beer, best served slightly chilled.

SukiWukiDookie responds:

Thanks man. I didn't grow up in the 80s, but I do love the music from then. And I'm always trying to be ambitious whether it's good or bad, so thanks for noticing that!! A dark beer, eh? I do like the sound of that..

[Home, Sweet Home]

Exceptional rendition, well timed and recorded. Just seems a pity that so many people are losing their homes lately, myself included (property taxes too high, neighbors too rich). Thanks for bringing the best of the past, to a site, where the problems of tomorrow, exist today ;)

BenTibbetts responds:

Thanks as always for your support. I'm so sorry to hear you are losing your home. Take care.

[Little Bear]

This is my favorite of your submitted songs here; very melodic, clear and lyrical. Know what you mean about an organ, but only in the background as support (like a Casio with dying batteries). The lyrics are fine, no need mince words (as it were). 5/5 singing voice, you really beat the shit out of those plastic-fantastic, pick of the cattle call, TV sown, sensationalist singers. But maybe flash (exploitation) 2 (or 3) twirling tassels in some of the e-music circles, might grab a few more ears... sell what few songs you got, on Apple iTune's or some shit.

UNDERNATION responds:

thanks man, you're always full of good suggestions. I'm starting to play music again, so maybe I'll put some new stuff up and take another pass at these old songs.

[Voodoo Island Theme]

It sounds... sexy!

headphoamz responds:

Doesn't it though! Thanks V :D

[The Bureaucrat]

Very clean MIDI, simple instruments, decent understated bass. Really brings me back to the mid 90's, when small MIDI files in loading screens and warez, made the wait tolerable. Seemed kinda clunky in a few spots, but upon a second listening, those rough edges went silent.

MistyE responds:

Thanks for the review!
