VGSongbird's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Squirtle Got a Gun]

This has got a serious "Heart" feel to it. Like definite "Magic Man."
As for the song itself, it's not really for me. But very creative lyrics. I'm sure for someone else this song would be awesome.

[Stay Inside Me]

Another catchy beat. I'm beginning to get a sense of your style after listening to a few songs, and I really like it.
This piece's use of back vocal clips was excellent. Sometimes it can feel forced or out of place; not so here. Not my favorite of yours, but still definitely download worthy ^_^

[Masq & Buoy - Gloom]

I listened through the whole piece. I can say it really did have an ambient feel to it. I would've maybe considered putting it under that category instead of techno.
The song flowed well as a background melody. I just didn't feel there was a powerful melody line to really embrace. The guitar at the end was clearly thought out, but the almost funk jazz style felt a little out of place to me.
I dunno. This song clearly took some thought process, and as an ambiance piece I think it would do well. It's just maybe not for me.

[Ignition]

This song has a charm to it I'm attracted to. I have to admit I definitely got the feel of dancing and celebration, but completely following your imagery was a bit difficult. But enough about that, I'm here to review the song.
The melody line was original and intricate, with a simple fitting back beat. The synths played off each other very nicely--I couldn't find a single instrument choice the felt arbitrary or forced. The flow was also well thought out, with breaks and decrescendos that complimented the song and did not break up the piece, but rather made it whole.
Simply put this is a well made piece of music--interesting and technically correct. 5 stars, 5/5, and download.

[Return to the Badlands]

The feel of this song was very straightforward; the guitar and the beat was flawlessly Western. I thought the didgeridoo in the background was a nice touch.

[Simply Walk Into Epicness]

This song was acceptable.
My immediate thought when I heard the first chord progression was this is identical to Adele's "Skyfall," save for the 4th measure and that the beats were slightly different. As for the song as a whole, I would have loved to hear a chord progression change.

I commend your ability to incorporate realistic sounding Celtic instruments; they are extremely hard to emulate. And I don't deny that at 0:39 seconds there's definitely an urgency increase. But the song also felt a little out of order in that respect. I would've liked the Celtic section to come after the piano opening, leading in crescendo to the urgent strings. Then a silence, and possibly even a bit more piano. That would've given me goosebumps.

Still, there is something to be said about this song. I would've liked a few minor changes, but it's definitely no where near some of the crap you hear on the portal sometimes. So keep up the good work. Continuing to work at this will only lead to even better music.

[ReCollect - Floating Away]

Well, I'm always a sucker for piano lines in electro pieces. I feel like it adds "mystic" vibes, especially with reverb. I noticed immediately that the melody line was very far away, and at first I wanted more. But it kind of works to have the beats be at the forefront here. It was very ambient and easy to listen to all the way through. Good work ^_^

DreamEater responds:

Thanks ellebirdy, I always love reading your reviews x3

[Crossing Horizons]

This style is wonderful. And you've clearly put some thought into your melody line. I love this.

KD18 responds:

Thank you :D! I'm actually quite a big fan of your music too; your voice is absolutely wonderful, and I love how it interplays with the piano in your vox/piano solo pieces.

[Shakin' [Hardstylez]]

I can't put my finger on why I like this so much, but I do XD

Bafana responds:

I think because it sounds like what they'd play at a rave for clowns.

[West Cliff]

This is engaging and quite simply beautiful.
I hope that someday I can sing to one of your pieces. Your music maintains a constant standard of brilliance.
