MichaelWashboard's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Make Acid - Dystopia]

A good DNB track, and an interesting instrumentation. A remix could def turn this into a great track—something more hard-edge like Neurofunk perhaps, but that's just my personal tastes. Maybe some more sound design on the drums, and a whole 'nother mix to make the synths more subtle. I like the synth-guitar a lot, and a bit of its New-Wave synth inspired sound.

[Bopeebo (SK4T3 mix) Instrumental]

Not a big fan of how dense the mix is for a Boom Bap track, feels too hyperactive to for the brass hits to sound really good. it is an okay song.

[Search for Star Gem (Deep House)]

Eyy, good tune, liking the Trance style. The bass sound-design is really nice on this one.

[a little song i recorded in the studio and i don't know what to call it because i'm not very creativ]

As a Punk Rock fan—yes, and Pop-Punk fan—this song feels much too safe and clean to be good Punk. It doesn't bore me, it has some decent song-writing, but it's as if a big American record label hired some sell-out to write some quick, samey tunes. Melody isn't all that great, drumming is just fine, and the whole thing just doesn't sound like something I would want to listen to again.

a lot of friends told me that song sound like green day :sob:

[Teuton Walk]

The Techno minimalism atmosphere before the 1:30 mark is great, and some of the later glitchyness is interesting. I feel like this would be cooler if it the drums was in half-time—as they are a bit too fast for me.

[The Center of Chaos Facilitation]

Atmosphere is decent, but maybe a little stale. Beepbox's Room Drum sounds not that great (I'm honestly tired of hearing Beepbox's drums), but the percussion half way in is the best part of this track.

[Kukuruz008 - &&]

Some good-old wobbly Filthstep, and okay DnB drums because the lead takes up so much of the mix. Need better balancing of both genre for me to enjoy it, but not bad deep bass. The 0:46 section is the best groove. :D

Kukuruz008 responds:

K, thanks for the review

[Kukuruz008 - Popular Bass]

The resonate 'cow bell' sound on top of the drums is really killer. Maybe I don't like the distorted Kick high-hat at 0:24 that much because it doesn't sound as good, but its a good tune.

[Fire Proof--_--(Full Vers]

I keep hearing different styles of DnB that excite me, and that intro and the drums really hooked me in. Just feels clever, this is the cool shiet of DnB.

[Plague Protocol Rave]

This gives me the feels of Dance-pop with face-melting energy. Really like the mix of vocal samples and synths sounds, sound design is done well as well.
