OVERSCORE's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Nostalgic Year]

You had a lot of achievements last year, I can see why you’d be nostalgic for it! Last year was a high for you, but I know you haven’t peaked— youre capable of so much, you’ll never truly peak! You’re just at the clouds now… it may look like the ceiling but there’s nothing stopping you from breaking through :)

G2961 responds:

Yeah, as much as I miss those times, it's worth moving on. That's what I'm gonna do.

[Lotus Flower]

These pads are truly ethereal, I love it! This is one of the coolest atmospheric dnb songs I’ve heard in a while, so well executed. Keep it up!

[S0MBRA - Keep It To Myself]

As usual, your sound design is incredible! I love how eerie the ending is, absolutely an amazing way to end your EP.

S0MBRASOUNDS responds:

Thank you so much! The ending is my favorite part of the EP, and I'm happy it resonated with you as well :)

[Introduction]

Calm, soothing, and peaceful. This is a really good one, I absolutely adore the pads you used! The melodies I think could use some more reverb, to match the rest of the track’s atmosphere.

G2961 responds:

thank you! yes, maybe I should have used reverb on the lead, but for some reason it seemed to me that it didn't sound right for some reason, lol.

[Molecular Level]

I am giving this five stars because “Disableton” is one of the best things I’ve ever heard 😂
All jokes aside, these drops go crazy, good mixing or not!

AndrewCr responds:

I have to admit that I didn't come up with "disableton" myself lmao

It's a meme

[Latin Rhythm]

This is a really fun chord progression, and as usual you have some very nice melodic ideas… However this one suffers from the same problems as the other two I’ve reviewed: lack of bass and paper-thin mix. The choir-sounding pad at the end is also a bit too loud, and starts to drown out your other elements. The drums could also do with a bit more release… that’s probably just preference though.
Your compositional skills seem to be pretty strong, but I have a proposition for you— add in some other chord structures! You can really give a song some depth by just changing the chord progression in, say, the ambient sections, for example. Or adding in a bridge!
You have a really fun style and sound, I hope this helps you develop it :)

[Sky Melody (Skyline)]

I like how upbeat this is! The way you introduce new melodies and instruments is really effective at keeping the song entertaining. I would say that the drums do get slightly repetitive, but the rest of the instruments alleviate that.
However, the paper-thin stereo makes this song a little lackluster. I also would love to hear some more on the bass end of things, which could give the song some warmth. Nice idea here!

DoMinhQuanGWDS responds:

Thanks!

[Space (Distorted Space)]

The mix feels very muddy, so maybe turn the reverb off on those low piano notes. I like the chords and melodies a lot. This is a neat song, the sound design and mixing just need some improvement. You’ve got potential!

[What Lies Ahead]

Ayyyye you made it!! This shows an incredible amount of perseverance, you should be so proud of yourself!

V1ZION responds:

I was very surprised so the fact I was even able to get halfway through this challenge was a win. :3

[-Mustard Gas-]

Yeah AnxiousBreaks was REALLY popular, I remember. This is some really fun DnB, definitely has an intense, warfare mood. Also, I feel obligated to tell you that mustard gas is a war crime... XD
