HDC's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Prayer For Death]

Similar to Zombie track but...

different enough to be its own. I like the wood plate (if thats what it called), adds a very naturalistic vibe to this. The synth, though computerized, have an organic feel to them almost. This whole track itself is earthly. Digging what you did at the end, the pauses really bring it to an end.

Sorry Im not able to give ya any constructive critique on these songs, too tired today... But aside from that, I'm digging your style Snow, keep em coming!
Peace brother.

cjsnow1 responds:

Thanks. I'll defiantly keep em coming. At least until I run out of beats to sample. :p

[Pulse (From TBC's ST)]

Zombified!

I really like that hollow drum sound you got bouncing out on this. That mellow hum is really funky. I can totally see this in a zombie game! That'd be my kinda a zombie killer! the interlude in the middle is a bit abrupt, but I like the sudden change up, makes me think up zombies marching, or maybe chomping on a skull.

cjsnow1 responds:

Thanks bro. This game'll probably take quite a few years and be released independently. I honestly don't know what it'll be for (PS3 most likely) or how long it will take. I'm just going through the motions with the guys. Thank god for the inspiration known as Cartoons. :p

[Cascading Sheets Of...]

Ambience...

Not sure if the voc sample really works with the mood of the beat, but it is humorous. I like to ominous feel to this beat though, the wind fx work really well to build that desolate kinda vibe. I like it!

cjsnow1 responds:

I basically just threw that in there during pre-production. The drum is a sampled beat from a royalty free sample collection I found a few weeks ago. Same with the Wind FX & the ambiance at the end.

Glad you like it. Hope to see a new battle up soon. I really like 'em. :)

[Adjeye-3 ~ Forlorn kid.]

Mythalogical Lore

WOW! Love how its starts out very hobbiton, and then the RAVE HITS THE SHIRE!!!! The meshing of the styles is very unorthodox, but I can really dig it. I would be dancing to this if I wasn't so tired right now, Nice work brother. Keep at it Adjeye-3!

Adjeye responds:

Thanks man :P sure I will keep it up :P

[|-Revelations-|]

Assassanated! 4.02 / 5.00 (+ 0.17)

I just bought Assassins Creed II a couple days ago ( ya I know, Im behind the times). Loving the epic nature of this beat O-Prime, reminds me of requiem of a dream. The layers of instruments is what I find most intriguing and ear catching. Real solid composition dude, keep at it brother!

O-Prime125 responds:

Lol glad you and thank you very much man, really appreciate it! :)

[Wyze - NGHH winter hype]

Definition of HYPE

If this doesnt get the battle hyping, there is somethin' wrong with the world/newgrounds. That character at the end of the song is amazing, the ears organism!

As hype and swag as this track is, there is almost a 97.56% chance that KlazikNadi will beat you in every battle you engage in.

YEA GURL!!!

Blasphem-E responds:

YEA FOO

[[--Voices of Ecstasy--]]

Phantastico!

Loving those vocs at the beginning, and then the swipe of them is dope. The calming melody juxtaposes the hard beat really nicely. That drum kit you got is great; loving the sounds on it. So much atmosphere in this track too, I love all the sounds in this. Only critique I could think of is that maybe the snare is a bit too overwhelming, could be simma'd down a bit. Overall , really solid beat! Nice work brother!

DJM00se responds:

yeah i could put the snare down a bit! thanks for the review bro!

[Funkstar-Rap]

Hmm...

I love this flow, I've heard it used so many times on NG, who is it?
Im not too sure if the flow goes with your instrumental though. The energy for both is perfect. I would've like to hear some change up in the beat to correspond with the rap; maybe a breakdown or something. Overall, jamming tune!

Maverlyn responds:

Thanks :) Will remake and repost when i get the time

[Funkstar - No Vocals]

Techno Funk-a-delic!

Love the layers in this, such a complex piece. The counter melody with the "trumpet/strings-things" is beautifully executed. My favourite part is at 2:34. that riff is amazing! Im interested to see how this sounds with vocals now! Nice work Maverlyn!

Maverlyn responds:

Thanks! And btw the RAP vocal version i have is just some random snippets from a sampled voice in magix music maker..

I'll fine tune this and try to come up with some fitting lyrics or ( IF ANYONE WANTS TO, ADD SOME YOURSELF )

[16 Bars of Heat by P.]

3.52 / 5.00 (+ 0.0048)

^ Haven't and didn't zero bomb your ungrateful ass^

Aight kid.

+Flow is good.
+Complex rhyme scheme.
+At least this time you didnt bring the quality of the beat down to match your terrible quality.

- Your dubs have too much reverb on them; makes it too obvious that there are dubs on your vocs.
- Some of your rhymes sound forced; anyone can write bars that sound cool, to write bars that are coherent and flow, takes skill, practice and focus. Not saying you dont possess quality bars, just saying some seem a bit gimmicky.

And I know you're going to take this criticism like a bitch and tell me that I dont know shit, but whatever, you can be that conceded DJ Sess wannabe and think your shit is perfect, HDC is gonna keep living hip hop.

Peace? I guess...

P-Balla responds:

You represent Newgrounds' wackest.
