50Steaks's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Piano abyss]

Remember how I said on a review on a song from DustifiedGD that lunar abyss remix was deleted? Well I thought I could resolve the internal conflict within myself about deleting such a popular song by releasing this. It didn’t help. I just took lunar abyss and solar abyss and mashed them up, but only the melodies and made it piano. Not a good recipe for a song.

[Shepard’s tone]

This was a joke song because I stopped taking my own account seriously. Actually what happened was I watched a YouTube video about Shepard’s tone, and so tried to make a beat out of it. Then I gave up and made the lousy ending it has now, since Shepard’s tones aren’t supposed to end. It’s just not a good sign for the future of this account to see this as my most recent post.

Holy hell I think this might be the worst song I’ve ever released.

[Papers, Please Remix]

Papers please bias aside, I would not rate this song very high. The best moment in the whole song is 1:42, with the relatively complicated baseline. The final drop is lacking some serious mixing. It’s not a good song. But it’s not terrible either. It’s just weird.

[Shostakovich - Waltz 2 Remake]

Pretty much the spiritual successor to At the carnival. Not much to say, it’s unoriginal and bland

[At the Carnival]

This song was used in my now deleted YouTube account. There is a whole separate drama involving that YouTube account and the discord account I used to have, which is a shame because I actually enjoyed discord. I won’t go into detail. This song is an ear worm. It got stuck in my head for months after I released it and the beat I created at 0:28 continues to influence my music. Other than that though, not too much to note.

[Waltz in A Minor]

This is the evolution of my love for 3/4 time. Missouri started it and this continued it. That’s literally the most notable thing about this song I can think of. It didn’t matter in the grand scheme of things, and if I had the option to, I would totally retake this account instead of being forced into a new one, my current one, due to circumstances beyond my control. But it’s a pretty original and decent song
Edit: nah I like my current account more, here in April 2021 I didn’t know how successful I’d be with my current account back then

[Kahoot!]

With this and Missouri began my modern style of music. Simple songs in concept but a lot of artistic thought beneath the surface, similar to my favorite types of books. But yeah this song had hardly any deeper meaning, besides telling the story of winning a Kahoot game.

[The Empty School]

Ok this song, this song.

The last song I ever released until Missouri 1 on my albin3825 account back in July. This is a weird one. Coming off the back of a great song for the time in my career, this is what I make. I wanted to link it to a school shooting but that never happened. In fact, I was actually proud of it for a while because the melodies and harmonies took me so long to make. At the time, I thought that after the success of takeover all my future songs would do just as well. Clearly, that didn’t happen. This got like 17 listens in 3 weeks. As a result, I changed all my descriptions to being depressing, saying I wanted to start again after this account went down the drain, or so I thought at the time. I did eventually start again, but not before I lost the login info and the email connected to this account, meaning I was screwed and couldn’t get it back. So, this song is the lasting remains of a once great empire of dustifiedGD.
But yeah the song itself is ok. Could use a little more instruments variety but it tells a decent story.

[Takeover]

The other contender for my best song, besides street party, is this. The original description said that I was not proud of this since I didn’t think it was true, real dubstep; yes this is a follow-up to the canonblade remix. However, one very famous GD artist, who made silent hill dubstep remix, decided to show up out of nowhere and review my song, saying it was pretty good. You’d think this would inspire me to create more dubstep, but in fact, a certain lunar abyss remix was taking up too much of my brain for me to take his review into full consideration. It’s a shame, really; this song is IMO my best but you may disagree. But yeah this was the peak of this account.

Edit: I come back to this after releasing South Dakota, and I notice just how much I’ve improved over the past four years. This has so many issues that I can’t even begin to describe, and hearing them rectified in my most recent track is truly something to behold.

Edit: I come back to this after releasing Zenith, and it’s truly incredible how much I’ve improved since the last edit (beginning of 2023). Hearing the many issues in South Dakota rectified is truly something to behold.

[Pachelbel's Canon]

Coming off the back of my best/2nd best song at that point, this is what I release. A bad remake of canon. The ending weird sounds in the background was actually the reverse of the violin sound. It’s bad. I know that. I’m surprised I didn’t just delete it from the servers. I made it in a rush, and it shows.
