Lethal-Input's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Wadsworth's Grand Reprise]

This sounds freaking good dude. I could easily see this being music for an RPG game of some sort. I music really just gives me feelings of mystery, discovery, wonder, all of which go hand in hand with fantasy. The part with the bells was fantastic, and the chanting at the beginning was really good too. Can't really say specifically what I don't like about it. Sounds professional. Keep it up!

[Hardstyle demo]

I enjoyed this a bit. It's really active and varied enough. Never really got bored of it. I like the break downs and build ups you had. The pluck/saw you used fits the song perfectly. I can't really think of any objective problems with this. Just keep up the good work!

lantaren responds:

Thanks! I spent a lot of time on this track, I'm glad that you liked it.

[Marionette]

I like the spooky feel of this. That ghosty synth you used is really awesome! The percussion done very well in my opinion. I think the song is well made overall. My gripes with this song pretty much lies in the melodies, which don't catch me too much. That's more subjective man, you're good at this. Keep it up!

LexRodent responds:

Thanks for your comments, I appreciate the feedback.
I'll try to bring the melody lines to the "front" of the song and hope for better "catchiness"

[~Space (Gas) Station]

I like how it started off, and I really like the synths used, for the most part. The modulation at around 15 seconds was a cool touch. I definitely notice that distortion. was the arrangement peaking?

Anyway, I feel like this really had a ton of potential. I like the melodies, but it's just the way it was presented, I guess, that brings it down. Like there are parts where my ears start to hurt because of the lead getting too loud. I feel like this could have been a really awesome, more chill song. Instead it sounds like things are kind of blaring at some points. I apologize if you weren't going for "chill" but that's just how I feel.

[Kabalist - Bugcrusher]

I was looking at the picture you posted while listening to this lol. This is freakin good. The part that starts at 41 seconds is where it gets really amazing. The strings that come in the background make for a very eerie atmosphere. The melody is extremely enjoyable. The change of tone around 1:40 was unexpected, but still great. The build up to it was very good. The drums and percussion is very powerful. Dang this is just great. I have nothing bad to say about this. Honestly the easiest 5/5 I've rated. I was hooked the whole way through.

Kabalist responds:

Thank you so much! I'm greatly pleased to hear that you enjoyed it all!

Feel free to fan me or whatever if you like my stuff overall.

Take care, man

[Fathers Day Ragtime]

What a nice surprise for your dad! It's very thoughtful and i'm sure he'll be very happy to hear it. There's nothing I find wrong with the mix itself or anything. The melody is catchy and lighthearted. The piano sounds extremely good too. What do you use for it?

SoundChris responds:

The melody itself is from my dad - he played it when i was a kid. Usually my stuff is far mor dark / sinister / sad - maybe thats more my nature :D Concerning the mix: I didnt spend time for the mixing - the whole piece was written in - maybe 2 or 3 hours. I was quite surprised i still knew the whole melody after all the years. For the piano i have used the boesendorfer 290 imperial from Quantum Leaps - Pianos Platinum, which is IMO the best virtual piano collection i have ever seen. Meanwhile i use the steinway for late romantical stuff, the boesendorfer for jazz, the bechstein for vienna / mannheim classical pieces and the yamaha for pop - but not from Pianos - for this kind of sound i would still recommend NI Alicia´s Keys (Yamaha C3 neo) which is cool for pop productions and also for cinematic stuff with much reverb.

Thanks a lot for your review!

[[F12] Curiosity]

Even though the violins don't sound perfect, they work very well for this song. I'm getting a fantasy vibe listening to this. It sounds like something that be in a kingdom hearts game lol. The melody is sweet, and conveys a lot of mystery and emotion. The bell that plays in the background accompanies it well, and the end of the loop with all of those melodies are just great. Amazing work.

F0R3ST12 responds:

There were a few times I was thinking about the music from Kingdom Hearts while making this haha. Thanks for the review!

[Forest Adventure]

I like the feel this gives off. The melody in the forefront is great, and even though the instrument you used for it is good, I think there could have been something better that you could have chosen. Eh. Well the thing that really makes this song for me are the pads in the background. Just the sound of it really does wonders for the song. Maybe because it reminds me of Ratchet and Clank? I really like the part at 1:43. Good stuff overall.

[Party Time update]

Well if you ever decide to make it a full song, then there should be some build up the the intro here. (Well you may already know that though). It's starts off fine too, but I think you could make a really cool intro there as well. The synths you used are cool and and it's a nice little melody. I'd like to hear a full version if you ever got around to making it.

freaksy101 responds:

Thanks! I made it short because the process of making it had become tiring as I was using a new piece of software which I was unfamiliar with. I'm not making a full song of this but I am working on some to be released.

[|_-| The Air Factory |-_|]

This is a really good track. It definitely fits the theme you seemed to have set for it. I kept thinking of the sky facility place in ratchet and clank going commando, lol. I love the nice hard kicks that come it. That break at around 1:01 tight lol. At that point I started really getting into it. All of that other ambient noise in the background really adds to the whole atmosphere of everything.

You chose a very interesting, yet fitting set of synths for this song. Everything goes together very well. Great job!

ganon95 responds:

glad ya liked it :) i tried hard to fit a specific theme on this one
