what a banger! this is my favorite song on ng. btw want to do a collab in a website called Bandlab please I am bad at making music. sorry if I'm annoying you lol.

I like the cutesy synth riffs at the beginning and the crisp beats and quirky atmosphere at :15. The piece has a strong rhythmic appeal, but the arrangement feels a bit choppy and could use some smoother, legato elements to fill out the texture at some point. The distorted vocals and glitchy treble-range synths work very well. The mixing is strong, but if anything the drums could’ve been a tad louder, and some more reverb and echo/delay effects could’ve helped you give the piece a stronger sense of atmosphere. Overall, you nailed the sound design, mood, and rhythmic content here. I would’ve liked to see a bit more depth in the compositional details and narrative appeal in the progression. But otherwise, this is a really catchy and unique track. Keep at it, xxxZigZagxxx! ^_^

I think I would like more presence on the drums in your intro. Otherwise, I have no real words of critique. I appreciate the jungle elements going on and the attention to detail with samples. Although, I am really getting a hankering for dialup tones after listening to this.

I think a fadeout for an outro would be more appropriate for this track than an abrupt stop.

I'm unsure if I would like more bass or not throughout. Probably the wildest track I've heard all week.

Thanks for coming out to NGUAC!

sound so good!!
