OVERSCORE's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[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

[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!

[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

WATCH OUT, NUKKKKKEEEEE

[ADREN_x67B]

Omg huge congratulations on the frontpage!! I can’t believe it’s taken this long after all of the high-quality content you’ve been consistently putting out, but at least it’s finally here.
Im not sure this would fit in a video game, it’s a little too heavy and maybe a bit distracting, but good luck in the contest nonetheless.

vekoN responds:

thank you so much!

yeah i probably pulled out too many stops on this one, but for next time, now i know to tone it down a bit for a soundtrack :)

you should check out noisia's dmc soundtrack, it may have had unconscious influence here, it's heavy af but also perfectly fits

[encumbrance]

If THIS is a downgrade, can’t freaking WAIT to check out the rest of your discography. And congrats on being on Spotify! Getting into streaming services for the first time is a hell of a feeling fs. Worth a follow, keep it up!

eurus0 responds:

thank you so much! you're right about that, it feels ecstatic!

[ocean of acid]

I like how serene everything feels, definitely fits that beautiful description. The repetition in the drums has a rather soothing effect to it. The track flows nicely as well. Awesome song, congrats on the deserved frontpage!

crispybatteryacid responds:

Thanks my homeslice g dawg hoodlum hood homie!

[can't make music]

What an emotionally gratifying piece! The whole first half feels like a journey, and the second half the destination. I absolutely adore the guitar melodies! Only critique is that I think the mix could have some more presence in the higher frequencies, but that might just be a preference thing. I love this track, keep it up!

crispybatteryacid responds:

I'm glad you liked the guitar, I was trying to decide if it wotked or not.

higher frequencies, huh?

...

i see how it is

[Even When They'd Die]

This is a pretty song, I really love the lyrics. The waltzy feel is also neat. The melody is very haunting like the previous reviewer mentioned, which is perfect for the vibe you were going for! Also, I love your voice… you’re truly talented.
A few critiques:
The vocals just don’t seem to flow all that well. In places, it just feels awkward. This is because the notes you are holding or putting emphasis on do not match up with the emphasized syllable of the word you’re singing… does that make sense? So bear that in mind when you’re writing your vocals. Secondly, the piano feels a little monotonous, flat. I’d recommend adding a bit of dynamic variation, and maybe a soft bit of reverb. You could also unquantize it slightly for a more human feel. All just suggestions!
You have a really cool sound that I would love to see you develop. Keep it up, Kekeyz!

Kekeyz responds:

Thank you so much for the comment!!!! The emphasis thing was just that I was looking for something really weird to fit the melody; to be nonstandard and see what happens 😵‍💫. Thank you for the tips about the keyboard, I do also think they sounded flat. I tried to do a bit of unquantizing but it just not sounded the way a human would play it, but I think I'm constantly learning about it and what you said will help me a lot, I think. Thank you for all the compliments and suggestions and as a bye, I encourage you to go hear my newest song.!! Bye

[SWave]

Those slightly unquantized-feeling drums are so cool, I wanna lead with that. Heck, everything about this track is cool. The unique time signature, and the fact that the arps and lead sound like their constantly changing… love all the filters you put on everything. Oh, and the bass! That’s right, ALL of this song hits. Keep it up!!

Stapless responds:

thanks mate 😁
