ADR3-N's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[-To the skies-]

Throw those strings in the lake. Keep the rest. And maybe don't compress the ass off the song while we're at it. Good composition otherwise.

Waterflame responds:

Thanks! But its 8 years old now so personally I think a lot more than the strings and compression would need changing, should I ever revisit this. But I probably never will.

[Evil-Dog - Fuck Old Times]

Auld Lang Syne and it actually sounds happy. I've played this song more times than I can count in band. They sung it at my graduation, and they played it at my dad's funeral. Then they sung it again at Mass Choir. You do it justice.

[Evil-Dog - Evil Bells]

The only thing that could make this better is a bit more volume on those drums. They're not cutting through as cleanly as they could.

[2081]

I'm a sucker for drop C. Very smooth riffs and a face melting solo. What more can I ask for?

Well, drums are kinda hanging out in the periphery of the mix. Would love a stronger presence with that kick and snare. Beautiful composition otherwise. I'd like to know what sort of structure you usually use.

TSRBand responds:

Thanks for the review! Glad you like how it came out :)

Haven't messed with the drum mix for a bit but you're right, kick/snare could definitely be bigger, will have to look into it!

[Council of the Immortals -full album-]

Listened on Bandcamp because I'm a sucker for time stamps and I get very impatient and skippy. Track 4 is my favorite, with 6 a close second. Actually, tie that with 8. The titular 10 is another gem, like a sunset drive. 11 was a satisfying resolution to the album, nice and breathy. Super trippy. Wish I could save that one to a playlist of its own.

Overall, I felt the other tracks were passable and of good quality, but the tracks I listed would be the ones that made it into my archive. Personally, I do prefer Sunset Rider to this album, if only barely. I do praise your consistent, precise mixing.

[DOOM (Theme song)]

Quite a bit different than the DOOM theme I recognize, but certainly thematically appropriate. Same problem as some of your other recordings. Very loud. Very distorted, pretty dirty.

[a METAL Happy Birthday Song]

Cute, but not great quality. Sounds like it's plugged straight into the PC and not EQ'ed properly.

[GP's Metal Riff A-02]

Same as the other review on the A loop. Too much static, way too gained up.

[GP's Metal Riff A-01]

Super static-y, too gained up. Loop is imperfect. Can't really enjoy as a result.

[Mnargl - Metal Loop 11]

Nice ideas here, but wayyyy too much 20+k sounds like. Mixing is not very clean. Leads are screaming too much. Kick is buried. A bit too much feedback on your delay. Can't really hear your bass. Loop is imperfect.
