I love this song! Definitely going to put this into one of my Geometry Dash levels! Keep it up foreverbound! You and Dj Nate are my fave Newgrounds composers!
Reviews for "Stereo Madness 2"
At first, I didn't really liked it. but then I started to dance and listening to this all day... Nice work.
What the hell is up with Newgrounds scores lately? They seem to be deflating an awful lot.
your snare is really awesome. I love the low end on it. Nice work on the percussion in general, except for that open hat, which is generic as hell and I've heard it a million times please don't use that (I am guilty of using it myself though, I know how it is.) Your kick is pretty alright. Nothing special but I can hear it well and that's always +points; though I'm not a fan of the sample. It's a very rock-style kinda kick, I don't know how else to describe it. It sounds fairly good though.
This is kind of my personal opinion, but your mastering isn't awesome and this becomes especially noticeable at drops. I'm not going to tell you to compress more or sausage it because that's generally bad, especially for DnB; but I feel like the mastering is just... a little on the light/weak side. Again, that's my opinion. Don't take it as gospel because personally I think I suck, lol. It might help for you to automate you master volume for drops though (keep it down like 2dB pre-drop, add the 2dB back at the drop. Makes a big difference!)
The composition is alright, I love uplifting stuff; but there was nothing particularly memorable about this. The melodies might be a bit drawn out, I dunno. It's pretty good though. I also like the progression of the song itself; kept it interesting. Definitely doing a better job at that than I do, can tell you that much.
You don't deserve such a low score, but then, newgrounds is a big pile of fuck and all. Decent work... liked the outro.
Love the happy mood. This song is like a a big warm smile.... the only complaint is, it's too repetitive, otherwise I would have scored it much higher.
Sorry, this is just me, but i feel like the whole song should have just skipped to 1:21. The first minute and twent-one seconds is just three items and isn't going to keep anyone around for a while. You also made an about 5-7 second loop for the melody. That went through the whole song, and could have changed alot. The ending was a nice touch, as it slowed down.
Melody:
Needs another melody to accompany
The ambiance is good, and should stay
The melody needs to change somewhere
Drums:
The drums were perfect!
Perfect volume
Good beat
In the background enough to be repetitive through the whole song
All in all, 3.5/5
