MattReeves's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[[Fiji]The Pain to Come]

Wow dude.

I LOVE how it starts out calm and peaceful, and just straight up ambient. And then towards the end, that sick, evil bassline drops in out of nowhere. Dude, that made the song for me. This is definitely my fav so far. The end reminds me of Metroid in a way. Excellent job on this one, man. You've officially found your way on to my iPod (:

MrFijiWiji responds:

YES!!!
and i had to add something really in your fce, ominous, at the end....
the song is about the end of the world haha

[[Fiji]Sorrow Under Skin]

Well,

You may have changed the title, but I can see both. I can see "that" kid, walking home at night through the snow, with his true colors showing, but as he walks, the beauty and peacefulness of the snow makes him appreciate life for what it is. Anyway, I could probably write a novel based off the things I imagine when listening to music, so I'll just stop, haha. Good song. I really like this one. Ambient is probably my favorite genre to listen to. And you did a swell job.

MrFijiWiji responds:

ya workin on another ambient song rite now... seems the people on the site really like my ambient stuff... my first ranked song :)

[[Fiji]Revival]

Your sound is developing

What's cool is, each song you do has a new sound; they don't all blend together. That's something I always strive for, and I think sometimes I go a little too far, haha. But anyway, I really dig what you have going in this song. There was a short segment that reminded me of Donkey Kong 3, which is ALWAYS good. But yeah, I definitely hear the improvement. This sounds like a perfectly legit song. Nothing n00bish about it. I could be like other people and give you criticism, but when it comes down to it, I think everyone's music should sound how THEY want it to sound. Critics just tell you what THEY want to hear. So I will just say, this is a good song, and I like what you've done with it (:

P.S. I still haven't given you my albums. I'm such a slacker, I know. How about this, I'll upload them temporarily, and just send the link to you here. Sound good?

MrFijiWiji responds:

sounds great!

[Unknown Forest]

Beautiful.

Has a great atmosphere to it. As well as a fitting title. I feel like the two together create wonderful imagery. A very well-written piece. Good work.

P.S. Mind returning the favor?

YanX responds:

thanks.For the title it was just the 1st thing that i got it out of my mind lol ^^

[[T] Listen To Your Heart]

Groovy.

I really like it. You did a great job of meshing the music with the vocals. And it has a nice driving beat that makes me want to break out into the robot. True story.
5/5

[Orbit Around an Orange :: Px]

Hahaha

You couldn't have picked a better title for this song. I really like the arpeggios at the beginning. They remind me of Bomberman.

But yeah, good song. Very peaceful.
10-5

GrantProjectXero responds:

Haha, dude it does.

[Xepher EP :: Px]

STHNEE.

Xepher is probably your most golden melody, and you've always put it to good use. I really like the environmet of this song. And the ending has a very comforting sound. The only critique I would have for you, is the transition to the "rebirth" part. Right now it goes right into it, which would be fine, except the delay of the notes from the previous section carry over and are dissonent with the new key. Just a thought.
10-5

GrantProjectXero responds:

Thanks bill. We should do a collab sometime.

[LOST :: Px]
