Ferstofus's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Newgrounds Voice Acting Collaboration 2021, Part 2]

What an array of sexy voices. There should be a movie with all of you, so I could listen to all this eloquence and genius for even more hours. There is so much heart and soul into each character, and their stages are just beautifully set. A glass of the finnest wine to all of you, stellar job.

chitstain responds:

Thanks, daddy

[The Coach]

Hehe, the coach's voice is so damn good. And the whole skit is so cinematic, awesome.

Where does Jacob go after the games?

Fro responds:

He left when requested so we'll never know which gay strip club on the corner of Maple and 1st that I see him at after every game that he goes to.

[Now Or Never - Drone Head OST]

Upbeat, epic, energetic, gives a great feel for the game. Pretty engaging. The part that starts around 0:47 prevents it from getting repetitive I think.

Jumbs responds:

The biggest reward from making music is having these feelings in mind that you want to convey. You work super hard for years to be able to express these emotions you want the listener to feel. When I start reading how good the music made the game feel I know my work is done. Thanks Fersto!

[Real Crimez]

Hot damn this always cracks me up the deliveries are just perfect

Bro-son responds:

NOOOOOOO! I'm so sorry Fersto, I didn't mean to crack you. It was just a joke, I didn't think anyone was gonna get hurt.

[-Brain Damage-]

A pretty metallic vibe. Heavy feeling, industrial. A pretty fitting name for it, I guess. I like how it suddenly becomes something you can dance to before you realize what happened. Well, that was my experience, hehe. I think there was room for this song to be something way polluted and convoluted, but you managed to prevent that without sacrificing the identity. You kept it simple yet interesting, as you put it. Great job!

Also, congratulations on the 300th song!

[Cyberstreets]

Starts with a great ambience. Then gets pretty inspiring. Also fast-paced, would fit great in a video-game. And the ending feels conclusive. Nice. I actually enjoy a lot of the simplicity you talked about, I think it adds some purity to the song. Anyway nice job, really liked it.

EagleGuard responds:

Thank you for your feedback and kind words! Glad the simplicity of the piece added to the overall enjoyment.

[-Feelin' Better-]

Pretty chaotic and agitated. And intense.

Nice

[Give or Take {durn}]

A detail...

Well, at first it had a calm and enjoyable pace that was well made and all... but between 1:53 and 2:50 (if I'm not mistaken), it was like there was something different going on. Like a "secondary song" that came from nowhere and started playing.
I didn't actually like this "secondary song". I think maybe it would be nice in a video showing the visions of a robot during a drug overdose (lol), but not in the middle of "Give or Take {durn}" (if you agree with me). Changing the beats are important here and there, but you changed too much dude.
Anyways, it was good and nice in the others parts. Here's ma opinion Durn, have a nice day and good luck on future projects.

durn responds:

Thanks for your honest opinion, Don-L. I knew the bridge/breakdown wasn't going to be for everyone but I wanted to try something different than my typical trance/floaty bridge.

I actually had another guitar melody playing during the bridge originally that kept it jazzy but it was in a different key than the rest of the song and I didn't like how they sounded when transitioning from bridge->ending so I dropped it.

Thinkin' now I maybe should've kept it to lend a jazzy feel to the central part as well.

Ah well, live and learn. :) Thanks for taking the time to leave your thoughts. :)

[Reasoner- Living Transparent]

Amazing

This music is too good to be described. The simplicity of only piano sounds used in such a beautiful composition and organization of notes made this an excelent and unique song. I doubt if there will ever be any criticism in a review that can help you to get better (if that is possible), but I just can't control my feelings for this song. I have to express them, the music is just too good. Please, tell me that my ears will still be pleased by your works in the future. And I'm very grateful for this one. Thank you.

[Abyss of my Thoughts]

Seens you were really bad

There wasn't so much things to vary the sounds, to break the rhythm. That's good for an ambient song. But some beats were louder than others, making then kinda annoying after hearing then for some time.
It's still a nice music tough; the music gives a dark, gloomy atmosphere as you said and it's not something that gets boring too son (well, that's my opinion). A nice ambient song overall. Good job.
