octopus58's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dance]

I like the synths here! They really reminded me of some Nintendo song but I can't remember what (might have been a Mii thing? I dunno). The chord stabs you have are already pretty dancy which is fitting considering the song name, and you have some fun percussion and subtle bass. Great work once again, keep it up :D

[Amidst His War]

It's a very nice cinematic and desolate song. It has one kinda consistent atmosphere throughout while pondering on sad emotions and maybe slight hopelessness. Reading your description, I think it fits very well too. Great work as always, keep it up :)

Thank you! That’s the vibe I was going for :)

[Sunlight]

This has very fun and dancy energy! I love the chord progression and how bright and happy the melody sounds. All the dubstep heavy parts also sound great and impactful, and I really love the balance you have between melodic and percussive here. Awesome work, keep it up!!

[~My Catrina~]

Very nice! I like the bright and happy progression, as well as the instruments you chose for this. Not only do the instruments fit thematically, but they also sound very nice together and well articulated, especially the guitar. It also has a very danceable vibe too! For some reason it kind of reminds me of the composition style in a lot of Club Penguin tracks, not sure why but it instantly reminded me of that haha. Awesome work though, keep it up!!

Preds responds:

oh!! thank you so much! I LOVE the Club Penguin music, so that’s a nice compliment, thankuuuu

[mozart if he had]

I thought this was gonna be a shitpost but why does it actually sound good lmao
Awesome

[Hunter's High]

This sounds so intense and pretty, I love it! The intro is great, it really feels like a delve into a fun and chaotic atmosphere. The instruments work super well together, kind of dubsteppy instruments with more acoustic ones in a very nice flow with great percussion. The guitar solos were also super awesome! It kind of reminds me of sonic music a bit for some reason haha. But yeah this is awesome, great work and keep it up!!

[Dream Meiosis]

I think you did a great job at making this sound dreamy :)
The song is really beautiful for its progression, effects, and instruments. It starts off light before going deeper, and the steady percussive beat helps keep the song going at a calming pace. Around 1:14 the song feels like it starts soaring which is really pretty too. I think you did an amazing job, keep it up!

Lehikos responds:

Wow, thank you! Your words mean a lot.

I'm glad you enjoyed :)

[Immunity]

This sounds just like 2000s techno that I fell in love with, I love this so much!! It really reminds me of Nokia ringtones for some reason haha, but in general I just love the arps, the melody, and the percussive backing. It felt super nostalgic listening to this, and it felt perfectly made and mixed. Awesome work, keep it up!!!

Griphinx responds:

Thanks for your comment brother

[Aurora]

Sounds pretty and dancey! Kind of has a house vibe to it, and a lot of the instruments you used created kind of a chilly but pretty atmosphere. I love the layers you introduce as the song goes on too, they make the song sound fun and not get boring. There are some crackles I feel but that might be a headphones issue on my end haha. Great work, keep it up!

xvndex responds:

ty for the review!

[Powerful]

Interesting song! The kicks and bassy instruments you used definitely made the song sound powerful. The deep and coarse saws as well. I think it would be more interesting if the song had some more varied melodies, but that's my only nitpick. Great work, keep it up!
