KD18's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[that date went fucking awful and i just need some catharsis]

Pretty cool little track; the raw guitars and minimal production really fit the title. If you've ever played Cry of Fear, this track would fit nicely on the soundtrack and gives off a similar vibe. If you haven't, give it a try (Fits your current mindset, for sure).

Also, don't sweat the current dating scene; you DO have value worthy of love and appreciation. Modern dating / women (And probably society in general) are just tainted with immature philosophies that aren't conducive for mature, healthy relationships. Just keep doing you, and the right one will come around in the long run (And love you for you). Then, you'll be stuck on the next question: "Am I better off in a relationship or on my own?" Lol, thanks for sharing your music with the world.

popolamusic responds:

Thank you for listening and thanks for the reassurance. I'm just reaping what I've sown. And you're right, the grass isn't always greener on the other side.

Also, look forward to trying out Cry of Fear :)

Dude, I come on NG after a month or so, and it's filled with like 10 new submissions from you. What kind of NZT-48 pills have you been taking to pump out all of this great content lol?!

With that said, this piece is excellent and could definitely find its way in a jrpg. In particular, that snare pattern that comes in at 1:25 is perfect; it really drives the piece forward and adds such a nice touch. Very nice, comforting composition here.

popolamusic responds:

No pills, sometimes the music just spews out (and I was ridiculously hyped or Dragons Dogma 2). Thanks for listening!

[Lake Ophelia]

I can feel James Sunderland's tears flowing out of my headphones. Pretty cool take on Silent Hill music; you've nailed the general theme here. If you do make a horror game, sign me up for the programmer position :)

popolamusic responds:

Haha I hope you're serious!

[Nargacuga]

"Pop Prog". Love it, especially the gradual buildup of all the layers!!

popolamusic responds:

Thanks for listening man 🙂

[Memories of Mitty]

Hey man, you've quickly become one of my favorite artists on NG, and it's been a pleasure to watch you grow over the years. Really feeling the vibes on this one (Pun intended :))!!! I really hope I can get back into music again someday and release tracks as good as this, but it's been hard to find the same passion I once had. Keep killing it; hope all is well otherwise!!

popolamusic responds:

Thanks man! Hope you find that passion too :) Now that I think of it, you were my introduction to prog rock :O

[Meteion IV: From One Star To The Next]

Sounds like you really leveled up in the recording and production department. I've never heard your tracks sound better than this before; good job!

popolamusic responds:

Thank you so much! Honestly, all credit to Neural DSP and Getgood drums, couldn't recommend them enough!

[A Considered Step, A Rogue Pebble]

This track has a very distinct Yvette Young (Covet) vibe to it. Sounds awesome!

popolamusic responds:

Thank you! Yvette was one of my gateways into math rock!
