BrandyBuizel's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[eventually - (AIM 2025)]

had to listen while looking at the art of course, gotta say i think the light/hopeful tones make this track. it'd be bland without contrast and this sounds great!

dankwoomy responds:

thanks dude, and I'd agree!! I appreciate that kinda comment, because I felt like I didn't have enough direction before choosing to go a more positive route. from there it was just trying to strengthen/justify the change between two ideas from a musical standpoint

[All My Life]

i wish i could be more verbose about why i like music sometimes, but music is the one area of art i can't create myself. I just know the vibes I feel and this makes me want to dance

Mauxus responds:

Love that! It's like turning feelings into soundwaves and when those soundwaves reach the listener, they turn back into feelings, but their own, at the same frequency but slightly different. Thank you for listening and for commenting <3

[I want you miss]

holy goddamn shit guys, the vocals are so fitting. it's a perfect pairing of talents

ADR3-N responds:

Thank you <3

[Blitzilla / Groundcrew]

you can credit audio in the project system, you dont need to add 27 people to your two-man podcast. having the timestamps in the description is kind of nice but also you've hyperlinked most of the embeded links even though you can clearly see that for the ones you forgot to hyperlink they have a nice audio player built in which is better.

Edit: okay, that's your reasoning, here's what it LOOKS like. I put my podcast in the feeds of 27 people so more people see it

Aalasteir responds:

Hi Brandon!

Thank you for your review. I am always happy and open to having conversations. I appreciate your interest in the podcast and am grateful for all feedback and reviews. I value your input and am always open to dialogue.

I will adjust the production pipeline to ensure that the music will show up;

Regarding the line, "you dont need to add 27 people to your two-man podcast" the reason it is structured this way is because people enjoy being part of a project and receiving credit for their contributions.

The way I see this is as a community event centered around cultivating community activity. I believe it is beneficial that it incorporates additional elements that invite participation from a broader segment of our community, that is valuable to people.

My underlying philosophy for the material I produce is:
Does this provide value to the Newgrounds community?

The decisions behind Groundcrew stem from that core value theory, and those choices were made based on my analysis of what I believe people would enjoy in a podcast within my production scope.

[Who Dun It? A Murder Mystery Audio Drama]

Some of the vocal performances are pretty fun and engaging, but the audio mixing is quite bad. It's clearly leveled for headphones so playing it on speakers or in the car makes lines almost inaudible at times due to the music or the filters and reverb over the voices. That sucks because it's an audio drama, I gotta know what they're saying.

The writing can be quite bad at times. It's clear there are points when the story and dialogue is meant to be played straight and sometimes it becomes jokey like a deconstruction of the tropes in this genre, but it's not always clear when that change happens. It feels like the writers aren't totally familiar with the genre they're parodying in those moments. Character writing is also inconsistent between scenes. The use of language, attitude, and the way the characters speak change drastically in unexplainable ways. That's on the writing, not the voice actors.

I like that following a mention of a cleaning product the next ad breaking up the radio play was about the product, it silly and it works but I could do without all the interruptions personally.

Lastly, this is a whodunit... as a fan of mystery and detective stories I'm always a little disappointed when the mystery is merely an aesthetic of storytelling rather than a puzzle that asks the reader/listener to participate and speculate

P.s. facade is pronounced "fuh-sod" lawl

MasterHand4444 responds:

Thank you for the feedback!! If we ever do something like this again (big “if” lol), this is all great advice to take to heart.

I hope despite its faults you were still able to enjoy the story. Thanks for giving it a fair shake. :)

[*NG EXCLUSIVE* 2025]

maxxjamez responds:

[Slippin Jimmy (Mr.Beast Diss)]

4cat responds:

I aim 2 please!

[What Happened To 4cat?]

sometimes I have to explain to my friends who you were, show them a track and then they ask for more and I got nothing for them.

Glad to see 4cat and not catcatcatlion :p

4cat responds:

Thank you!

Here's a fun fact nobody asked for: my name was originally catcatcatcatlion Bc I wanted to be as annoying as possible. Then Grubxero said "yo 4cat" and we all went OOOOO. ALSO shout outs to Tom for giving me my name back!

[Adventure Time]

You should put the lyrics in the description

FreakFormal responds:

I know I get lazy I’ll prolly do it in the future tho 😭

[Black Sheep]

might not be a good idea to have a song this heavily sampled on the album depending where you wanna distribute it

p.s. great seeing you at pico day, wish we could've talked more!
p.p.s. cringe, i'll sign it at TMG if I see you there :p

milkypossum responds:

Yeah I'm wary about it since it's a cover :/ The vocals and the instrumentation are my own, but I'm not sure how much that counts in intellectual property copyright land lol! And it was super nice seeing you too! I pulled your card and I never got you to sign it :(
