X3LL3N's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Bewitched]

I didn't expect to like this so much, you did a great job keeping it interesting :>

LordAndiso responds:

:D I am making more of this rn.. I got really hooked on music like this! Thank you soo much :3

[Wonder Of Heavens]

Y'all are making this event really hard to judge you know ? One round you beat our expectations, and the next you somehow top the new ones too. Seriously, it's criminal how good these last rounds have been.

Your entry particularly subverted my expectations, I was expecting a nice and chill song, and then you decided to release your arsenal of instruments.
Every damn aspect of this song is extremely well crafted. The song is amazingly produced and composed, has a ton of interesting details, the vibe is unreal ! I'd say I want more of this, but I'd be extremely greedy by doing so considering how much you already delivered.

If this doesn't end up as my suprise favourite entry for this round, I'll eat my shoe (my surprise favourite last round was Spoon, your opponent by the way).

Anyway, this is criminally good and something I'd expect from the final round instead of the quarters. I wanted to wrap the judging fast, but I couldn't stop listening to this and I unironically pictured someone dancing on it. I am confused, I am impressed and I am proud of you, so yeah, I'd say you nailed it chief !

Edit : Please upload it on Soundcloud, I wanna have it in my playlist x')

FJOB responds:

Thank you very much for the good comments, I already updated on soundcloud so you can listen to it whenever you want.

[A New Discovery]

I wasn't sure if I'd be able to judge this round of ADM since I was sick af, but your song got me pumped up ! Now I'm fully motivated to do so.
Very energizing, I love it ^^

BeyondOurEyes responds:

LOL glad I could help! Thanks for the love! <3

[Soffizlly & Hookington - Tombstone (Auver Remix)]

Ooooh hell yeah :)
Edit : Your profile was glitched, but after mod help, I was able to scout you ^^

Auver responds:

Awesome, thank you so much 🙂​❤️​

[My Cos-Mic]

Oooooh so it was for an event, really cool :D

XomuEDM responds:

yes brother

[Be That As It May]

This song is the big surprise of this round for me, I didn't expect to like it near as much as I did honestly.
We have a couple of songs that go the nostalgic route, but this one is just different.

It feels more like a pleasant memory and it hits home, this feels very personal :)

I don't normally listen to that kind of music, but I'm really happy it's there. It stands out from the rest for me and made me feel stuff I don't normally do (which is a big compliment as I'm usually dead inside for the most part).

SpoonMix responds:

Thank you X3LL3N! I am surprised as well, I wasn't expecting you'd like my music. It wasn't meant to be about anything personal, but maybe it is subconsciously. I really want to do something more upbeat but composing alone prohibits me. I need other musicians.

[Ryzmik - "Calima"]

Man woke up and thought it was madness day lmao.
I love your bassline, but the ambience is also really neat !
The cinematic elements are a nice touch :)

Ryzmik responds:

I'm not very related to the Madness series but I'm glad to know you liked something!

[Somewhere I'll Find You]

Dude, this is insane !
Very well composed and produced, but what makes it top notch for me is the vibe here. Such an amazing sound choice :D

BeyondOurEyes responds:

Thanks so much, glad you dig it! I'm really into the 80's / Synthwave vibes right now so expect a lot more in this style coming at ya! ;)

[Overtime]

Yet another great song from you ^^

DigitalProdigy responds:

Thank you so much. I really appreciate you taking the time to listen and comment!!

[Into the Sunset - NGADM]

I love the western theme you went with, this is really cool !
I enjoy the lil' sparkly bells too :)

If you survive that round, just know I'll judge your next entry as I'm finally free to do the judging part, so you better prepare yourself lol

Irish-Soul responds:

Haha, unfortunately I didn’t make it to the next round of NGADM. However, thanks for the kind review!
