Fro's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Stargenx - Forward into DawnV2]

~ Review Request Club ~

Seems like there is a common theme in the reviews and that theme is epic. It simple sounds big and impressive. Something that I could envision seeing in an opening scene in a movie over a vast landscape. It would also be good for different scenes throughout and especially good for the credits.

When listening to this song I keep getting the impression that I'm panning over a large area of mountains or jungle and there is just so much detail and things to see that you would have to watch it over and over again just to see everything.

I personally didn't think the ending was very fitting. I think a better ending in this situation would be a simple fade out, but like I said it's just my opinion. I'd hate to ruin your run of tens and it was just that one part that I disliked so it's worth a ten to me.

Stargenx responds:

I decided not to fade out because it would sort of ruin the effect of the song. The song is strong and bold and to fade out would reduce its strength.

[Shameless (Kris Sumara remix)]

~ Review Request Club ~

My last audio review for the week and I found it to be a great one to end on. The introduction was done really well and got me hooked into the submission. The song itself got a little repetitive, but never really got terrible.

I wasn't watching towards the end of the song and I thought that you had an error because the beginning almost sounded exactly like the ending. That's not bad, but the ending really wasn't there. It just ended right in the middle of something. Some sort better series of notes might have made this better. Pretty good all around though.

(There are too many 9's in a row...)

KrisSumara responds:

I wanted to make my intro the same as my outro because I want it to be mixable for other dj's like me.

[[AL] Submarine attack!]

~ Review Request Club ~

This is pretty cool. It had a very original sound to it and for the most part it made me think of a submarine, but if it wasn't titled the way it was then I probably wouldn't have thought of it as one. I also really don't see how it sounds like a submarine attack though. It doesn't really sound like anything is attacking anything. :P

Very good sound to it all around though. It had a good amount of variety and sound effects that made it interesting. Keep up the good work.

ChampionAnwar responds:

The attack part to it was mainly at the beginning where you kind of hear 'bumps', though I can understand where you are comming from. . I glad you like it and thanks for the review. . .
I think the name fits~ xD

[rooms are her travesty]

~ Review Request Club ~

The very first note reminded me of Resident Evil. :P

It was pretty good all around. I really enjoyed listening to it and it was very relaxing. I think one of the below reviewers said it best when they said it took their breath away. It was just one of those nice and relaxing songs.

Instruments were great, but it almost sounded like a few notes were off here and there. I really don't know much about music so that might be misinformed. Still sounded off to my ears in a few spots though.

Overall, very good and relaxing.

hm never played resident evil but thanks :)

[Mortal Kombat (RMX)]

~ Review Request Club ~

I must have a different opinion than the other reviewers. I loved how fast paced it was and loved how you made an old song original in your own way!

The vocals really surprised me. I didn't expect them to be there at all and I thought it was awesome the way that you used them. Perhaps introducing the vocals at the very intro could have made me more prepared when I heard them later on.

The ending was pretty cool as well. You usually hear songs ending abruptly or with a fade out, but the way that you did it was really cool and original. I liked this song a lot. Great job.

wow thanks :p

It sounds like it would be great background music so great job there. I'll have to admit that it had a great sound and even though it got repetitive it never really got boring. Actually it was a pretty fun song to listen to.

The vocals were great and I don't think the submission would be very good without them as it tends to break up the repetitiveness and adds a nice touch of variety in there. It could actually be several minutes shorter and probably be just as good if not better though.

EvilScorpio responds:

Thank you as always)

[Aerospacial]

~ Review Request Club ~

Great job! A very original sound along with a lot of good variety. There were a lot of cool effects and the vocals in the submission really added a lot to the overall production.

The bubbly sound in the beginning was really cool and I had never heard anything like it in a song before. This is good all around and it's probably my favorite audio that I listened to today. Keep up the good work.

KaoticAlchemist responds:

As I said... Not everything was of my creation... Though it may sound good... I can't take all the credit here... I'm glad you enjoyed the mix though and I hope to put out a few songs from my album in progress! Thanks for taking a look! ^_^

[[G] - We Ride (Snippet)]

~ Review Request Club ~

Well you tricked me. I saw it was rap and as soon as I heard the "hard life" part I was like, "Oh boy not another person thinking their fucking life was hard and their going to cry about it." BUT you didn't. You rapped about something great! You rapped about what you could have done and what you are doing now to make it better. That's good stuff man and the lyrics sound true like they came from the heart. I respect that.

The instruments were really good and the static effect was good as well. I personally had nothing against the vocals like some people did and I thought they were pretty decent all around. Not bad and it's good to hear a positive side of the negative things. It shows me that some people have their head on straight.

Haha that really means alot to me thanks man.

[The Voices in my Head [Jxl180]]

~ Review Request Club ~

The first time that I listened to this I thought it was mediocre and that it really wasn't too good or exciting. Then I read some of the other reviews that said there were vocals in it and I had never heard them the first time. I had to turn my computer way up to hear them and that's not good. Make them louder and this song would be much better!

I'll admit turning it up and listening to it a second time through was much better than rushing into a vote or a review after the first one, but like another person said make the vocals stick out more and use them to your advantage.

~ Review Request Club ~

jxl180 responds:

Well, I made the song as I heard it through my speakers and that could have been my first problem. Only testing it through my speakers and my iPod. To me, I didn't need the speakers loud at all to hear the vocals. Actually, they can be barely on, and as long as I hear the beat, I can hear the vocals.

Thank you for your review, and I'll see what it sounds like louder now.

[_Revolution_]

~ Review Request Club ~

Not too bad. It had a lot of interesting noises and sounds in it, but there were also some faults as well. It actually reminded me of a song that I had heard before, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Like it almost sounds like you took parts out of a real song and edited it.

The problems that I had with it were that it got very repetitive after awhile and kind of turned me away from the submission. I find that the ending fade out wasn't really good. I would have rather heard this song end on a shorter fade out or a series of notes instead.

Birdinator99 responds:

I tried a couple different things with the fade out at the end, and this is what I liked best, but I guess that's not too good lol.

As far as the resemblance to another song, I didn't have any song I was trying to duplicate, but if I accidentally did, I'm sorry! It's always my intention to create 100% original stuff.
