Fro's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Battle of the crossed plants 4]

Hmm

I didn't like this one as much, but for some reason I still like it more than most of your other submissions and I am feeling generous today so here is another 8 from me.

The one thing about this is I just found it as a very generic sound. It wasn't anything too interesting to listen to. Kind of upbeat, but like I said nothing that really makes me interested.

I don't think it looped the best, but it was pretty damn close to being a great loop. It was off by just a little bit. Probably just the space newgrounds puts between its songs.

Woah woah woah

I liked this one also. Perhaps it's just me today, but I don't think I've ever given your submissions scores this high. I really love the randomness of this submission. It almost sounds like a robot is in a battle and then all of the sudden he shuts down, tries to boot back up, shuts back down, etc... In an endless loop.

This one was really interesting and had a great original sound to it. Really random and weird, which can be a good things sometimes. Good job.

[pianoforte in a minor]

Beautiful loop.

You can't loop this any better than what you did here. By far the best quality loop I have heard of yours. I know it was a perfect loop because I pulled up a different tab while listening to this and had no clue that it was repeating.

I could see it being used in a spooky haunted house scene in a flash animation for a small scene. Nothing too long because after about 10 listens it does get kind of annoying. :p It's like that with almost every loop though.

Great job in my opinion though. One of your best loops that I have seen to this day.

thanks for the review.

[.:Guitar Electricity Loop:.]

Not too bad.

It has a nice upbeat sound to it. It just really sounds like you used a lot of premade loops here. Well I know you at least used a couple since I've personally heard some of them in garage band before. If you didn't you really made them sound similar.

Towards the end of the song it sounds a bit choppy and the quality of the song goes downhill a little bit. In some parts it sounded like you cut the premade loops off at a bad spot. Making transitions a little bit more smoother may help it out. The beginning to the song was definitely the best part, but after that it really wasn't too great to listen too in my opinion.

Thank you

[Unamed Legend - WIP]

Another good song.

Looks like I've been running into a lot of good songs lately in the Review Request Club. I like how the song starts off slow pace and sad and slowly builds up a little bit. It still has a sad sound to it even though the song has picked up a little bit.

The length of the submission was pretty good and you had a pretty good assortment of variety throughout the song. It never really got boring. It had a nice use of sound effects.

The only thing that I can think of is that the ending just kind of sneaks up on you. It just kind of ends all of a sudden and to me it really doesn't sound like it should end where it did. Perhaps a series of notes that better resemble an ending or perhaps a fade out would work too. I rather the song end on a note, but to me it sounded like this was out of nowhere.

Other than that good job on the song.

TheBellmaker responds:

Thanks for the review. The ending wasn't really supposed to be and ending, but I forgot to mention it in the description. Thanks for listening to my song.

[End of Spring]

Nice song.

Wow, wouldn't I like to have it be summer right about now. *Looks outside* It's rainy and somewhat cold. Not quite the weather to take your shirt off and go run around outside yet. Oh well, it'll be here soon enough. :)

I see this song starting of with a scene of bad weather outside. A kid is quite upset about this and then all of a sudden the weather gets sunny and bright. He then gets happy and runs around to the tune of this song exploring and seeing all of the fun things that people are doing.

Overall this is a good quick pace song that has a fun sound to it. Good job on it.

[Straight F T Horses Fingertips]

I liked this.

I had to listen to it a few times before I could think of anything to say. I think this was because I couldn't really find anything to critique the submission on at all. It was really catchy, fast pace, and just really fun to listen to.

I honestly can't think of anything else to say than that. That usually doesn't happen to me that much. Good job on this submission all around.

[Empire Underground]

Good.

It's pretty good all around. I don't think there really is much to critique about in my opinion. Decent song all around and it had a decent build up effect. A very interesting type of sound in this piece too. I feel a lot of originality when listening to this.

It kind of has a deceptive sound to it. Kind of like in your author comments. You kind of know something is there, but you'll never really know or actually see it. Or at least that's how I interpret it when listening to it.

LightKeeper responds:

Nice interpretation you have there, it's really the effect I was looking to shoot for and you caught it. :P

Thanks a lot for the review Corky52!

[Ice Cap Final Act]

Great job.

I really enjoyed listening to this submission. It was really upbeat and fun to listen to. You did a great job on the video game/Sonic feel with this submission. The song itself never got boring or never really slowed down to be honest. You had a great variety of instruments too, which only helped your cause.

This also sounds like it would make great credits for a flash submission whether it be a game or a movie. Almost the your happy, but also sad that it's finally over type of credits if that makes sense. I also think that the fade out at the end worked really good with the song.

~ Review Request Club ~

LightKeeper responds:

If this submission were ever released as part of a flash that'd just make my day. One thing I was trying to generate was that flow of energy that you're getting, and I'm glad I was able to. The fade out at the end was really unplanned though for the most part. Originally I envisioned the piece being longer but I slowly grew to the fade and it stayed with the piece. Glad it still worked well with the piece. :P

Thanks for the review Corky52!

[Rising Anxiety]

Not bad.

With a title like this you would expect a build up effect and you used one quite well in this song for a little bit. I was expecting it to go crazy towards the end of the initial build up that you had, but you let it relax a little bit. So you let it build up like rising anxiety, let it build up, and then you just let it die back down before it really hit it's climax in my opinion.

Other than that it has a nice tune to it and it sounds like you did a great job. I just thought it needed to be finished off with something bigger than what you used.

~ Review Request Club ~

TwilightShade responds:

Thanks for the review.

Although rising anxiety does constitute a buildup, which was the main focus of the song, it doesn't always have to explode. Sometimes things can settle down before that point is reached, but I understand your stance. I could definitely see a more explosive climax improving the song.
