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.

[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 ^^

[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.

[NK - Jawbreaker (Zjongelas Remix)]

Not the best remix imo. The synth at the start is kind of ugly and the chords really don't have the same vibe to them as NK's piano. Also the midi is messed up, even in the drop somehow. Speaking of the drop, the bass really could use some work, it's kinda riddim-y and riddim just doesn't work here. It'd be cool for you to make a revision to the remix in the future.

Edit after response: Fair enough XD

Zjongelas responds:

I highly doubt that I will do remakes of my old tracks, they are what they are. Yes, they sound bad, but these are my first tracks and I like their sound as it is. The only thing is, there will be sequels to old tracks, but not to those that were made in 2024.

Also, Thank you

[~Z~ - Real Slim Zjony (DEMO)]

Will the real slim zjony please stand up? Please stand up. Please stand up. Please stand up.

Anyways, IS THAT FL PLUCKED?!?!?! I have heard FL Plucked being used in only 1 track EVER, wow.

Not the best track, too repetitive for my liking and the mixing isn't the best. The instruments don't work together, + they're kind of ugly. A 1.5 for me, idk.

Zjongelas responds:

Ableton stock plugin used as I remember.

[Zjony - Ayakou]

I have never heard of chinese future bass, yet now i need to lsiten to more of this, THIS IS AMAZING!!! The old chinese instruments are so beautiful with modern synths on the bg... Makes me feel a kind of sense of nostalgia i haven't felt before. Absolutely amazing, a well-deserved 6.5 stars! <3

Zjongelas responds:

Thx for your feedback!

[~sryn~ Asizinati]

How do you even accidentally reverse a track 😭 Bro accidentally searched up a website for reversing audio, accidentally clicked on it, accidentally put in his song, accidentally waited for it to reverse, accidentally downloaded the reversed copy and then accidentally uploaded it on here XD Anyways, even the reversed version sounds good! Pretty funny how some sound sounds like the discord notification sounds :)

srynn responds:

Its actually pretty funny, so i was curious what it sounded like in reverse so i reversed it but when i downloaded it, they were the SAME FILE NAME. So ig its my fault for putting the wrong Asizinatifrfrithink in it. XD

[Bigboi00 - Kingdom]

Very nice song! Though the buildups are kind of empty to be honest, and the predrop and middrop (i call the parts between drops middrops) are kinda repetitive. 4.5 stars :D Not THE best song ever, but i enjoy it a lot :) <3

ThisIsBigboi00 responds:

Thanks! I also tried to do some variations, so the song would not sound repetitive.

[Neon Skies & Bigboi00 - REALITY]

ABSOLUTE FIRE!!! I liked the first drop more tho tbh, no offense Bigboi 😅 But both parts are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, you two are meant for eachother XD (not in a relationship way bruh)

Edited after NEON-SKIES' response: Damn you're fast with your replies, neon skies XD It hasn't even been 10 minutes lmao

NEON-SKIES responds:

Lol, thanks! My drop is more tearout, and bigboi's is more classic 2017 dubstep, like virtual riot or barely alive. Thank you!
Edit: I was just on NG when you reviewed…it’s usually not that fast
