NekoMika's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Not Easy]

Is cash

Like how the intro sounds. It starts sounding classy then turns into what I think would be sweet as heck rap music to listen to. You spit some excellent rhymes though as well. Really like how that turns out though.

The organ/piano/keyboard notes I hear kind of remind me of the Flea battle from Crono Trigger who was one weird guy. Fought like a girl but was a good "I has looks and powers, who cares?!". The drums are freaking chill here, they sound evil yet relaxing. The bass line is just the finishing on this cake of rap as well.

When it all comes together it makes me think of some old Nintendo bosses like Magus and Giygas who were very hard and annoying to me. The rhymes come out on time with little crap being heard in this rap.

Overall, an excellent piece. Should do more.

lfmao this nikka is on some chrono trigger shit..... gettthe fuck outta here son lmoa

[Stay Strong.]

Pretty chill

Wow, freaking great lyrics dude and the backbeat is even sicker here. Would be cool if you posted lyrics though. I can see most being able to understand what is going on like me but some people might have a hard time understanding what is going on here.

The drums are freaking cool with the claps as well. Sounds simple but good. The piano/keyboard is pretty cool and very lightly played here which is good though because this sounds like a harsh rap yet at the same time the piano kind of makes it a bit lighter as well.

The lyrics are pretty twisted though. I can see this going with a music video of someone trying to fight for something or another. Maybe the one they love? I don't know.

Overall, you did a sick and twisted job here, great job and word up!!

[xKore - jpop remixu]

Great piece

Wow this is a great mix between dubstep and a song with sentence splicing.

The drums are simply superb. The bass line is actually really cool and kind of fat at the same time too. The synth and scratch and cuts are just flipping amazing. Really enjoyed the soft outro though, kind of relaxing. When the whole beat comes together it is simply an amazing piece of work.

Overall, a great piece of work. This is very close to winning!!

[Robotniks Last Move]

Awesome remix

I actually think this would be far more fitting if they played this for some of the darker boss battles he did against Sonic. You did a great job remixing the song.

The synth and keyboards sound excellent and provide a dark backdrop for the fight against Robotnik and his many machines he would use in battle to fail at crushing Sonic and his hopes of saving Mobius and Earth. The drums sound pretty cool and chill, I like them a lot here. The bass line is just perfect.

Overall, an excellent remix.

Ragezero responds:

Thanks a bundle :) I used a piano with 2 synths at the same time for an extra robotic sound :)

[Tiger Blood]

Amazing

I really like how this turned out actually. It sounds really cute yet full of awesome at the same time to me. The beat just makes you feel very happy and amazing.

The synth sounds amazing to me. The 8 bit sound sounds pretty cool. I like how you added a clap effect to kind of make it like a dubstep. The drums are good and make you feel great. The bass line is simple and cool. I really love how you added vocals and the audience sound effect, kind of makes you feel like you are winning something.

Overall, great piece.

[Lapras]

Lapras?

Saw this song and the first thing I thought of was the Pokemon called Lapras but I guess the titles can be misleading and irrelevant sometimes right? Despite the misleading title I still like how the tune sounds though, makes you feel strange yet happy in a good way.

The first synth sounds nice and keeps a simple beat. The second one produces long ambient sounds. The third synth produce some nice high tone pitched sounds which are pleasing to me anyways. The drums sound good to me and very simple. I like the bass here too. It kind of just makes you feel relaxxed.

Overall, I really like how this one turned out even if the song is not about the Pokemon named Lapras.

pigeontoucher responds:

I do love to keep it simple and balance instruments to try making it all sound pleasing, and use reverb to a subtle effect, not blasting the song with it like I've heard in a lot of audio portal tracks.

I hope you know that giving this good, thought out feedback is really a blessing to the usually attention depraved audio portal. Keep planting your seeds and making people feel like their effort paid off, even in a little way.

And yes, it's named after the Pokemon.

[Pokemon RBY Gym Leader]

Pretty good

Ironically I just beat Misty in the Cerulean Gym moments ago with a Charmeleon and a Pikachu. Really loved how you stuck with the original beat as well. This is actually a really sick cover version. Also would not consider this to be a remix as nothing changed, it does however make an excellent metal cover tribute to the game.

The guitar riff sounds awesome with the fitting breakdowns that sound just like the original. The bass line is also fitting and I like how it does a couple of breakdowns as well. The drums are superb. I will say when it all flows together it is just an amazing piece of work.

Overall, great piece, love how the series has made a lot of good tunes for bosses and legendary battles. Looking forward to more.

HighwindLegend responds:

Thats what I was going for, thanks. I pretty much call it a remix because it has a better ring to it than reorchastration (plus I probably spelled it wrong lol). I have a youtube channel with a TON of more remixes, you should check it out sometime!

[Videogame Metal!]

Awesome \m/

Wow is this a sick beat you have made. The guitar solos are awesome.

The guitar sounds great and even better with the breakdowns that happen. The lyrics are cool and remind me a bit of Tenacious D's antics when they wrote songs as well. The bass sounds good too me. I like the drums as well since they are awesome. I like how you reference Mario killing goombas and foes which is funny.

Overall, this is a sick beat. Great work here.

DanJohansen responds:

Glad you like it man, I guess it does go towards Tenacious D in some way :) MARIO BREAK NECKS MAN! He's evil! lol

[How Can I Shine Without You?]

Brilliantly creepy

Wow did the backmasking at the start creep me out or at least I think it was backmasking. Not totally sure on it. When the full beat starts to play with the creepy sound in the background it sounds very nice to me anyways.

The backmasking at the start heavily makes me think of Silent Hill and how the radio would act weird when the creatures came near at all. The guitar sounds nice and simple to me I guess. The drums are simple and play in a good tempo to me as well. The scratch down was strange and cool I guess. The synth is also good here.

When the full beat plays without the scratching or voices it sounds very good to me. The voice and backmasking creep me out a bit though as the song is great but weird to me.

Overall, excellent job.

LLAAPPSSEE responds:

Heh heh, I do enjoying the 'ol reverse. More of a self manipulated backmask, using reverse, volume-envelopes and re-arranging to achieve the desired effect.

Silent Hill? That's a creepy game. :)

I'm glad you enjoyed my strange remix. I appreciate your steady ears and in-depth review.
