Badgerdillo's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Lemonbop Cowkick Saloon]

Interesting sonic ideas, but pretty basic. It could use some drum lines.

[Uhh]

The loops have sort of an X-Files feel. I think the middle section is the most successful. Doesn't feel like single song. Was it meant to be different treatments of the same/similar loops? Still I liked it overall.

Loops?

[best loop i made (wip)]

Nice hefty base. Definitely memorable.

[Klaasy loop]

This beat would work with a lot of different styles, including funk.

[Skinwalker]

I like the drops and transitions. Too much EDM sounds like a series of different ideas strung together. It sets a Halloween mood and maintains it.

BeastKillerMusic responds:

I agree with basically everything you said here.

[Round 1]

Excellent. Very polished and fits its purpose (GD). Sustains the feeling of velocity.

[Memories of Bad Times]

Not sure how I feel about this one. The boots-n-pants beat is dance 101, which I fine, but the subsequent layers are too retro and sci fi reverb for my taste. Its strongest point is that it's well-crafted and shows an understanding of the genre.

[Gangamsini]

This is a very versatile loop. Additional layers come in softly, and modulate a bit--a nice tease. You could mix it harder or softer, darker or lighter. Sounds like beatbox added around the :30 mark, and then builds into a beat that reminds me of Waiting for a Train by Flash and the Pan.

I like it and would enjoy hearing it fleshed out more.

[[Gloony] Galaxy]

I like the layering of beats, and there's a good progression. The instrumentation is subtle and smart. It feels more like a loop than a song, though. I'd be interested in a mix where there's more build-up to the breaks and the drops are a bit harder. I could see this in a DJ mix paired with a tune that has strong hooks.

[Dehaka]

Grabs your attention immediately and holds it. Interesting mix of chill beats and menacing vocals. Favorite line: ”I just flew in from Zerus, and boy is my arm tired." I hope you post a link to this on Facebook and Insta StarCraft groups. I think it would get enthusiastic approval (and all-important followers) All BeastKiller songs dance on the edge of dissonance, and that signature keeps getting more refined and sophisticated with each of your releases.

BeastKillerMusic responds:

Thanks, I will consider your ideas.
