GrayZ's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dark Paradise]

lovely, nostalgic, love the hats + scratch blend. Melodies are great but you tend to always start them on the same note as the bass root note, i feel my brain wanting a little more variance in how you use harmony, but that is just personal preference.

Glad I found your music, you make the stuff that got me hooked on this site as a kid and have me itching to make a track like this too.

Good job :D

G2961 responds:

Thanks for the comment, man! yes, almost every track starts with the root note of the bass or key, it's just the most convenient way for me to write melodies In piano roll, I can't do anything about it, lol.
by the way, my style is really similar to the music of the old Newgrounds audio portal, and I like this kind of music myself, so my style is based on all this.

[Self Conscious in the Dungeon ~]

straight up VIBING. really love the double time switch up. nice track :3

trazzz123 responds:

Thank you so much! I'm glad you appreciated the switch up as much as I did making it :)

[Reditus Solis]

I thought I already left a review here, but I guess i forgot to press submit. I just love this for a comeback song.

the build up at 1:46 theres like a horn sound and the first electric guitar chord just gives it such a nice colour. Like it just rips through the entire track. very powerful, and resolves its self into a really fucking cool synthwave jam, with the main prelude over the top... just fantastic stuff.

Amazing to have NT back. Looking forward to more!

NemesisTheory responds:

It's nice to see that many people recognize the prelude and enjoying that part! That makes me happy.

And as Square Enix would say: "Please be excited!" 🤣

Log into newgrounds to actually listen to music for the first time in years. (rather than just to dump all my unused files) to find you're still writing rawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww shit. Keep it up you metally rocky bastard you!

Burn7 responds:

Meheheh... Well thank you kindly good sir, I'm glad you spent the time to come back and see me :3

[Thinking of You]

Oh elle, you shouldn't daydream about me. Well, if it means you make music like this, then keep it up! ;) -Lee

VGSongbird responds:

Thanks for taking the time to review ;) Much love <3

[Frustration feat. Bafana]

:) don't really know how to comment on this, The piano has such an uhhhh Kingdom hearts feel? it's just great, it's amazing how a simple harmony can be so powerful. I'm really not a big fan of dubstep so it knocked me a little, I loved the intro and I loved everything apart from the "yoi's" The piano had a grip on me, and so did the slide lead. Great work guys! <3

VGSongbird responds:

Well, I'm glad you liked the piano ^_^ And I'm excited to work with you :D

[BTB - Part of Me (EoE Remix)]

nice

Deserves a much higher score. intro is so crisp and clean, the piano is a little dry but not hugely noticable. your hats are perfect, they aren't too high pitched and loud which is what you find in a lot of songs. I can't give an honest review because I'm using shitty headphones and can barely hear the sub bass, but thats my fault haha.

Good work though :)

E-o-e responds:

It was a high flyer until it got zero bombed. Newgrounds is a popularity contest. A lot of the songs in the 'Best Tracks Ever' really aren't that good. Not trying to say mine are, but there are other's who should be.

Anyway, cheers man :) its appreciated!

Short description.

Ah burn7, how you inspire me. keep up the work, when I listen to this I just imagine huge explosions, or a building collapsing or something haha.

10/10 5/5

Burn7 responds:

I kept thinking of the universe collapsing in on itself and bursting into plasma flames. Or something. I don't know, I've heard the book will be released in the next coming months but I've also heard that Burn7 is a terrible author when it comes to being an author.
