Zachary's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[What Happened To 4cat?]

Hey 4cat,

I just wanted to take a moment to say how incredibly proud I am of you for returning to Newgrounds. Your song really hit me in the feels—it’s so raw, so full of emotion, and it perfectly captures that bittersweet feeling of coming back to a place that holds so many memories. The way you blended nostalgia with hope is just beautiful. I can hear the journey you’ve been on in every note, and it honestly feels like a celebration of both where you’ve been and where you’re headed.

I love how your music evolves, and this track is such a perfect example of how much you’ve grown as an artist. It’s inspiring to see you bring your unique voice back to this space, and I’m beyond excited to see what else you have in store. It’s not just a song—it’s a piece of your heart, and I feel lucky to be able to hear it.

Welcome back, my friend. You’ve got this, and I’ll always be here cheering you on!

Much love,
Zachary

I code when I have to. I rock when I can. Sometimes, I even combine both

[Under the Bridge RHCP cvr]

Where to begin...

It was a decent attempt at covering RHCP, but I think the main problem is your guitar sounds too tingy-sounding. You could probably use a string change or something.

As for the vocals, during the chorus the vocals were the wrong pitch and it really clashed with the guitar. Maybe try change the key of the song or something because it was really distracting and it took away from the song as a whole.

Keep practicing because I have faith in you!

Stereocrisis responds:

Thank you for your direct criticism Zachary.

[(full Version) Back Away]

At 1:21 you played the wrong chord. Also, the recording quality needs major improvements (kids in the background? Or are they your backup vocals) , you need to improve on your vocals, and find a ghost writer or something because the lyrics were meh.

Stereocrisis responds:

Okay, for one you miserable cocksucker, this is an original song, so how the fuck would you know if I played a wrong chord? And let's set the record straight, I played that chord purposely.

The recording quality is fitting for the style that I'm doing. So I don't know why you're even on the grunge audio page if you're opinion is that songs have to sound polished, like a fucking Justin Bieber song.

My kids will now, and always be welcomed background noise in my recordings. I use a video camera. Not professional equipment. So yes, my kids were singing back up vocals. You can fucking eat me if you don't like it.

My vocals need improvement huh? Okay, so how should I sing? Like a member of NSync? Fuck you.

As for my lyrics, I know I'm not the best around, but I never said I was a fucking poet. I'm just a guy writing music because it makes me happy. So, regardless of your petty existence, I'll continue doing what I do to make myself happy.

And finally, I just got done listening to your past 2 audio submissions. You're really going to get the balls to judge me? You fucking suck dick with your :15 second "songs".. PUKE!

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to get back to my day you rude piece of shit.

BTW, thanks for the ZERO out of FIVE. Do you even know how to fucking play an instrument, and the determination it takes to practice every single day? Or are you to preoccupied ripping on other people's music, while in all reality, you're music requires no talent. All you do is press buttons on a computer, and out comes the result. You're no match for my skill. Fuck off low life.

[WWRKD]

This on that Peter Frampton ish keep it up!

Gobblemeister responds:

Peter Frampton is shit :)

[Sick Beat Sandwich]

Stunning work as always. This piece made me extremely hungry. Probably one of your most progressive pieces yet. If rapefunk continues in this direction it will be all over our airwaves in no time.

Gobblemeister responds:

I absolutely agree and appreciate your vote of support

[Boogie of the Occult]

Amazing song! Very progressive it's a shame others can't appreciate something so wonderful. You are a blessing to music and keep up the good work!

Gobblemeister responds:

That's what I thought too

[FRUIT PIE]

Where do i start?

From start to finish this song went through various emotions. I can tell it must have taken a long time to complete this work of art. You are the Da Vinci of music and your work will be listened to for years.

The microphone quality was as splendid as God's voice himself. If this song was a country it would be the United States of America (the best country ever god bless).

I hope to see more work from you in the future. For if we don't, i believe that the world itself will stop turning.

~~Keep calm and carry on~~

Ryan responds:

I read this aloud on mic for your own enjoyment.

[Microphone Test]

Great job.

You always have great voices, thanks for keeping us all entertained in stickAM and stuff.

These tests just show you have true talent.

Keep up the good work.

SardonicSamurai responds:

Thanks man, good to hear :D

[Rucklo - Empirical WIP]

Kinda boring in the beginning.

But then it gets WAY better so it is all good. Hope to see more.

I might use this in a flash even it sounds awesome.

I only reviewed this because of you on stickam <3

Rucklo responds:

yay i made a positive and serious impression on stickam ^___^

thanks for da wooords, yo!
and this ain't done yet, hopefully will be next week or something... :)
