Scareev's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[The End at the End of it All (Day 13)]

Gotta say this speaks a lot for me, like... i have my own thoughts about how the world is going, and i truly belive we are reaching a new level, maybe the world of yesterday will never be what we think it will be tomorrow, who knows?

Also BANGER TRACK! Loved everything about it, the choices of timbres here are fantastic.

GrapheneKid responds:

The end of today is really just the beginning of tomorrow's yesterday.

[ollie (Jamuary 2025 Day 5)]

the way you played with the bass notes around its range sounded cool, and this track is very dreamy, liked it!

[Ikusaba (Jamuary 2025 Day 2)]

the low quality of the mp3 reminds me of old flash games, and i liked that!

GrapheneKid responds:

Thank you! I was trying to go for that kind of feel, I like old "digital" lofi stuff like that

[-techock- (fixed)]

This legendary track came out BEFORE I WAS BORN. I love your songs waterflame! Gave me so much memories from CC

[Windy]

the first minutes remebered me of hungrian rhapsody, is this piece written in C# Minor? Great track also!

Solacitude responds:

You're right it's in C# minor, alternating between natural and harmonic modes, then a couple accidentals and chromaticism sprinkled here and there. If it remembered you Hungarian rhapsody I'll wear it as a badge of honor! Thank you very much!

I'm listening the album, and this one is currently my favorite! I'm loving your experimentations! the FL metronome was a good pick, i never saw anyone using it as part of their music

[Madness Combat 12: Contravention]

I love how your mixing abilities have increased! You're are amazing chesh!

[loneliness]

a strange fact here, when i return to newgrounds to be a lil' more active, i ALWAYS listen this song, it brings nostalgic memories from 2021, and i can say i've listened this same song for almost 3 years of my life.

the distorted kick with the soft vocals are best balance for my ears, great track, and it will be always 10/10 for me!

Samuel-Mossa responds:

I appreciate you for saying this! I never thought this would be listened to by anyone when I made this song so long ago

[Days]

this song remember's me of a brazilian punk band called "Garotos Podres", this power chord prog sounds so nicely, and the crazy guitar in the back, nice!

edit: in the half of the song, now it's just glorious xd

PapoFuradoPA responds:

I'm Brazilian too. The idea was really punk and I'm glad you liked it

[Malcolm IT - "The Monolith" (Full Album)]

I made a little review, i listened the entire album!

1 - Hi, Monolith!: DAMN, I LOVE ALBUM OPENERS SO MUCH. nothing else to say, incredbile!

2 - Flying Machine: this gives me a really good vibe, and for some reason, a lil bit of nostalgia, and remembers me of Lemon Demon on the Dinassourchestra album!

3 - The Golden Land: The drums on this track are really upbeat, so nice... / this one feels more epic, the 2nd part of the song sound awesome! / THIS SYNTH, WOOOOOOOOO

4 - When Grandma Attacks: this intro is gold / DAMN, I'M FEELING THIS ONE :fire: / this really give me a lot of Lemon Demon and Indie stuff vibes, on which i have love on

I think by far this is my fav track, so dynamic, fluid story on the lyrics, AND THAT OUTRO IT'S 10000/10

5 - Stuart Little: this one is the definition of upbeat ^-~ / damn, for some reason, every track is givin' me a ENORMOUS nostalgia of the past, i'm lovin' it

6 - The Ballad of Mr Engel: I LOVE WHEN ARTISTS DO THEIR BALLADS, IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING GREAT, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I'M LOVINGGGGGGGGGG ITTTTTTT / DAMN, this harmony... how do you think on this? when i'm thinkin' on a chord progression, i always try to do things like that, but i can't xd / THIS CHROMATIC, OMNNNMMMMMMMMMM / this also remembers me a lot the style of Routt, he have one song at NG, called "Third Eye"

7 - Geomagnetism: the production in this track is really nice, SO MANY variation with the instruments / damn, this is REALLY well produced, all the paning, and varation...

8 - Shake It Up: this synth is a lil bit louder than i expected, but its okay lol / AYOOO, that chiptune vibe / the entire song is amazing, such a vibe broooooooo

9 - Eating Lightning: This feels like rain in an audio form, so cozy to listen, i would put this one at my fav's playist, you got me! / okay THIS ONE might be my new fav track xd

10- Your Old Car: i love album closers, it feels like the last chapter of the story, this entire album felt like a tale, i'm not that good at english, bcs i'm brazilian, but damn! this feels like the perfect concluison of The Monolith, great job you did here with the production!

FINAL THOUGHTS:

I really enjoy this type of stuff that the newgrounds users do, like... it really feels something Indie, not saying only by the genre "indie", but the concept of it, of someone doing something just because they love it, and i feel the dedication you spent in this album, and i know someday you will grow, if you focus on this music career, you have a solid ground!

You also have a great voice in my opinion, all the tracks were really on the point!

9/10
