QWaziEDM's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Uneasy Ride]

Amazing track! I love the beat, really weird chiptune-y instruments, but they fit the vibe of the song really well.

The vocals are really cool, weird accent but i like it :) For some reason your voice reminds me of Miyagi, a russian rapper, but also not a lot (if you listen to his song Бадабум for example, i think you'll find some similarities lol) (Also, it's not like i like rusrap: i dislike the genre because usually the lyrics don't have any real meaning behind them, all the rappers do i just brag about stuff or sing kinda perverted stuff about girls, and i'm not the biggest fan of that. The genre has a lot of potential, the russian language is really beautiful, but in its current form the genre is really just a huge cashgrab. I heard that Morgenshtern is kinda trying to change that but i haven't listened to his newer songs yet so i can't say anything).

I'm not the best when it comes to understanding lyrics, but from what i could understand, a girl wanted the character to take her for a ride in his car, but they ended up crashing in the mountains? Is that right? If i understood the lyrics correctly then wow, really dark theme, but you sang it really well. Definitely giving this a 5, nice track :)

CasualBreather responds:

Thanks a lot for the review!
I listened to the track you mentioned and this is really accurate, Miyagi's singing is influenced by reggae scales and style we can tell and I am highly as well! So while I don't think our voices sound the same, the "harmonics" are actually close!!
As for the lyrics it's metaphorical, it's not that dark, but it's telling the story of driving a girl (metaphorically so being with her) in bad places / environment / doing bad things, to protect / minimize the risks, but ending up being hurt as well in the process!
Once again thanks for the review and rating!

THIS IS SO DOOOOOPPEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! Amazing track, great job <3 The sound design is so interesting, i have never heard something like this before, the instruments sound extremely simple yet so complex at the same time. I particularly like the lead at 1:10 but all the other sounds are great too. They work so well together! I also love how emotional the build-ups sound, like the one at 0:52. I also love how you used the amen break, adds a lot of energy. I just love the track as a whole lmao. To be honest, the track is so well constructed that if you didn't say that the time sig is 5/4 i probably wouldn't've noticed, one of the best dubstep tracks in the time sig if i'm being honest! Way above Stevie Deez - Fivefor (my previous favorite 5/4 dubstep track), that's for sure. The mixing is also really great, you get to hear every sound so clearly, great job! I'm really sorry that the review is all over the place, i really didn't know what to talk about first, so i mushed it all together into one weird mess lol. Anyways, WONDERFUL TRACK, Well deserved 7.5 stars, making this the 4th (i think) best track i've rated so far. Woulda been an 8 if there were some more instruments lol, even tho there's like 10 or smth already, it's just that the lead at 0:24 gets kinda annoying after listening to it for 98 (or more lol, i'm bad at math... but i think it's 98) seconds of... Idk what's it called but if the song was a movie and the lead was a character in the movie then that thing i'm trying to talk about would be called "screen time" - through the whole track. That's a third of the whole track that the lead appears in! KInd of a lot, i'd probably replace the lead with smth else after the first drop, then maybe use it at the end of the second drop to build up some tension before the outtro. That's the only reason it's not an 8 (speaking of - i didn't specify 8 of what - stars! 8 stars outta 5. I just think that 5 is not enough to rate stuff properly, so i implemented another 3 stars for myself, so now 8 is the highest rating, and i rate with 8 stars. Ofc, i can only put 5 on NG but just imagine that there's 3 more) lol. Amazing job, Zunami :D

Again, sorry that the review is so weird and hard to understand, there was a lot to talk about and instead of sitting down and writing the review properly i mixed everything together cuz i'm dumb lol :P

Edit: holy shit what is this absolute essay that i wrote? I'm sorry that you'll have to read through this, i should write way more compact reviews in the future T_T

Zunami-music responds:

WOW thank you for listening and for the review!! <3 I didn't even mind that it was so long cuz it kind of reminds me of the way I would review a song :D You pointed out things about the song I wasn't even thinking about while making it. I just kinda used my ears and did what sounded cool and weird without planning it out! I just really appreciate when someone gives this type of feedback cuz my perception of my own music is kinda warped.

[NGAP Pride Collab]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LETTING ME CONTRIBUTE, CRIMSON!!! Late happy pride month to all the lgbtq+ people, y'all are genuinely one of the nicest and kindest people i know! <3 This collab's idea is one of the best i have ever seen to be honest, and this issue really needs to be talked about a lot more in song form.

My part is definitely one of the worse ones though, in comparison, i am so sorry to disappoint... I am still a beginner, i promise that i will make better stuff in the future! I have tried my best to replicate the feeling of being in a pride parade, being free of the chains of judgement that society has put on you, and just genuinely having a good time being yourself. (Can you tell i've never been to one, sadly?..)

Btw there's a morse code somewhere in my part, hidden in plain sight... Are you unemployed enough to find it and decode it? >:)

[Electroman with Vocals (Autodidactic Mix)]

Electroman Adventures did NOT deserve to be done like this 😭🙏 you know it's bad when i use fuckin emojis in my review lol

The beat is extremely repetitive and unnatural, which is VERY bad for a rock song. The vocals aren't really needed. Besides, they barely can even called vocals: it's just someone talking over Waterflame's beat, while cringely yelling "electroman" 28 times. The story doesn't even go anywhere! It's just "oh this kids dad died and the kid got hit by lightning and he can now control electricity i guess. now he wants to kill the guys who killed his dad but uuhh idk bro i'm too lazy to finish the story lol".

The song is trying to surf the waves of Electroman Adventure's success. The thing is though, there are no waves, it doesn't have even the slightest clue how to surf, it's just standing on a wood plank in its back yard in Oklahoma while in the middle of a tornado, getting hit by multiple flying objects. It feels like they held Waterflame at gunpoint to make this, then paid Audidactic and pftq to finish it for some reason. It is NOT good.

Throw tomatoes at me, i don't care. You're wasting food and i'm just gonna eat them mid-flight. I am giving this a 2.5, you can REALLY do better, WF. You are one of the most talented edm producers of all time in my opinion, you have proven multiple times that you can EASILY create ASTOUNDING songs which can easily become certified hood classics and be known in the general publivc even outside of the WF fanbase, GD fanbase, and hell, even the EDM fanbase in general. Please do that.

[-Snow!-]

Today might be the end of june but it is always snowing in my heart! :D Penguines are waddling, Santa is flying... On days like these, kids like me... SHOULD BE REVIEWING ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC WF SONGS.

Nice bass, i like its melody, really feels like some bass from a Sonic game XD The drums are simple but really nice! I really dislike the chorus thingy though, it doesn't fit that well (the sample that goes AAAAA). The percussion is aightish i guess... The melodies are really good, the sound design is pretty good as well, love the 16-bit sound :) I really like whatever instrument is playing at 1:35. Love the 8-bit ish sound at the end, the short hits it does in the melody represent it pretty well. Overall, nice song! I would give it a 5 but the chorus just doesn't do a good job at... Idk what it does, ig just... being in the song? Idk but it really doesn't fit, so i will give this a 4.

[random idea 26]

AMAZING!!! I think this may be considered to be Complextro (dubstep) but i am kind of bad at differentiating genres sooo XD Nice sidechaining w/ the drums the sound design is really good, the bass is really cool, and yes, PLEASE finish it! 6 stars so far, can't wait to hear the full version, if you ever make it! Also, HOW HASN'T ANYBODY VOTED YET??? PEOPLE, VOTE!!! for obama /j Nah but seriously, IF YOU LIKE A SONG, THEN REVIEW IT AND VOTE ON IT, guys!!! Please, let's get some reviews on this masterpiece!

Edit after response: Oh damn, you have a souncloud? One more reason to use that website XD

SeanAlexi responds:

HI thanks for your comment!! it really means a lot to me. though i totally forgot i made this LOL
if you wanna hear my more up to date music you can check out my soundcloud under the same name or the link in my bio ^^

[Revolutions]

The slide tool is genuinely one of the best things in fl studio, i LOVE it. Sad that it doesn't work on 3d party plugins T-T

Anyways, AMAZING SONG as always! The chords are really cool, the drums simple, but peak, as always, the melodies absolutely amazing, nice mixing. Just another dimrain song, but dimrain songs are AMAZING, and i can't give this anything less than 6 stars :D It's sad that there's a lack of 1 to 1 recreations with FLP files, though. I was working on one but i'm too lazy to finish it XD

[{CridexX} - Summer Vibes]

Amazing track! Even though it's kind of an NK - Seasons bootleg, it's still original asf! The sound design is so similar to NIGHTKilla that if you showed me this song and didn't tell me that Cridexx made this, and said "yo have you heard that NK dropped?" i would 100% believe you. I love the basses, the mixing is amazing, but there are still some basses that i think maybe are like 1.5-2 dB too loud, like the one at 2:34, but i'm listening through my phone and i can't tell if it's my speakers being bad or is that bass actually that loud XD Anyways, the song represents the theming AMAZINGLY, the predrop is simple but powerful, i give this a whopping 8 stars, making this a 3-way tie for the title of best track i've rated so far, along with Hafri - deatg of clarity and JariXGaming ft. Sean Alexi - internet temptations!!!. AMAZING JOB, can't wait to hear more stuff like this!!! <3

[Nikrean vs Cridexx - After Rain]

Why the repost? XD Anyways, as always, i love the track, but it could use another drop or some more variation in melody and/or in instruments, feels kinda same-y all the way through. The buildup is also way too short and the drop is basically a re-skin of Excision - THE PARADOX (she construction on my worker till i 3D gif animation). For the attempt and for the sound design i give this a humble 4 stars: nice idea, but not the best execution.

(also i'd love to know whose parts are whose XD feels like cridexx made the first part? but at the same time idk, it feels weird cuz if that's true then nikrean didn't make a drop which is unheard of... but also cridexx wouldn't not make a drop... weird)

Edit after reponse: Oh, yeah, makes sense lol XD Why didn't you make a drop though? And yeah i have read the description but i still don't get it... Why would you archive all the HF releases? HF may be gone but 1. It's passive income XD and 2. Why not just let them be? I understand that archiving ≠ deleting off the face of the planet but still, they're not *officially* there... You could just let the hf songs stay but keep releasing stuff on #M, no? Well, it happened already and i can't do anything abt it sooo XD

Nikrean responds:

Cridexx' part is the construction worker Tearout thing.
About the repost, please read the description again.
