Fro's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mystical Woods]

This was a really nice piece. I definitely see it being used in an animation or at the end of a game. The image that it paints in my head is something along the lines of the following.

A kid has just finished an RPG that he's been playing for the last couple of months. He's been so immersed in this universe that he's gotten attached to the characters, almost like their real. He can tell the game is really progressing and is getting towards the end, but it still surprises him when it happens. That's it... the last boss battle... the ending scenes. The credits roll.

The credits start to stroll as scenes of memories and new adventure play along in the background. Warriors can finally relax as they've saved the day, but wait... it can't be the end... I need to know what happens next. The kid sits their in disbelief, almost like he can't believe that it could possible end and he literally has no clue what to do next.

Or something like that, haha.

EagleGuard responds:

That's actually really cool story, Fro! I really enjoy reading these kind of interpretations, as it means the music caught the listener's imagination, which is ultimately what I aim for with my music.

I'm glad you enjoyed listening to the piece, and thank you very much for your (fun to read) review!

[Dr. Psychosis, Mother of Madness Full (Final Boss Theme)]

A pretty epic piece of audio. I could most definitely see this being used during a boss battle or frantic level where our hero is making one last desperate dash to save the town, world, universe, multiverse, his grandma.

The length was incredible on this coming in just under 8 minutes long. What's the first thing you would assume would be difficult to do on a submission this long? (At least the first thing that comes to my mind) It's probably going to be repetitive and get boring. That was not true on this piece. There was a ton of variety and it was very enjoyable to listen to throughout it's entirety.

The only slight complaint that I might have, if you can even call it that, is that it seemed to end kind of disappointingly. Sadly, I don't know much about the inter working of music creation so I can't really put it into words very well or suggest how to make it end better, but to me it seemed... lacking... I hope that makes sense.

Overall, pretty awesome!

[Black Hole]

I think it's an alright submission. I'm not sure so much about working so great as a loop since the ending doesn't really transition smoothly into the intro. That being said, it also doesn't work that great as a standalone piece either because of the way it just ends without warning.

It was pretty decent, but seemed to skip and jump around a lot. Especially towards the beginning of the song. The last 10 seconds were so were the complete opposite and seemed very empty in contrast to the rest of it.

Keep working, I'm sure you will grow as a musician and I'll be ready to listen to any future submissions you produce.

DJ-Silent responds:

This is an unfinished project and i feel for uploading it to NG, that's why is a bad transition.

[Revitalized]

I'm not going to lie, I don't have much to say about this one. Is this a version or a rendition of an already created song? It sounded oddly familiar and I can't quite put my finger on it. Overall though I really actually enjoyed it.

It almost seemed random at times, but everything went so well together. I really loved the upbeat feeling of it and other than sounding a little familiar to a song it was really entertaining and original in my opinion.

Wish I had more to say about it, but good job. I like it a bunch more than the last submission of yours that I reviewed.

[The Answer to Everything]

First off, sorry for what probably won't be an extremely helpful review. I don't make audio and really don't know the inter workings of it.

This has a really upbeat manner to it. One could paint a picture or scene of a very happy somewhat frantic situation. I didn't really like the parts like 1:40 and 2:40ish. They were an alright transition, but for some reason sounded really out of place to me. Perhaps they lasted a bit long? I can't quite put my finger on it, but they were distracting. I also think that they were too numerous.

The part that started around 3:10 was really awesome. I thought the ending was kind of abrupt. Overall the whole song was really catchy and had a good vibe to it. I thought it was a bit on the long side and could have been cut done by about a minute or so.

[shadow dark touches]

Definitely has a dark feel to it and can see how it would be used in a flash animation during the introduction of some scary situation, level, or boss. I think it looped well, but as another reviewer said it sounds a little loud and chaotic.

Toned down just a little bit and a few more seconds added on and this could be a really good loop! Like always though, you get a 5 from me!

NekoMika responds:

Was my first audio piece ever, haha.

[End Of A Heartache female cover]

Cover song?

This is better than the original. People may get confused and think they covered your guys music instead. Seriously, awesome job and she did amazing here.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Haha, cheers for the kind words. This was a sloppy rendition, musically. However, the live version is accurate. haha. She was awesome on the vox.

Thanks for the review and listen, brother.

[Unsaved World]

I come back to newgrounds a couple of times a year and I always make sure that one of the things I do is come check out of all your music. It's like I missed out on a lot of new good submissions. You never disappoint. I could just make a playlist with nothing but your songs and I'd be good.

The vocals were cool, I'm excited to see where she grows as she gets more experience recording her voice and you guys work on stuff together.

Keep up the good work.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Cheers bruddaH. Most excellent to see you still creeping around and listening!!
Badass.

She's killing it, we're doing more live stuff. Can't wait to share it.
Thanks for always coming by. Wish I had a beer for you! hahaha.

[Bonds Of Hate]

The beginning sounded really familiar. I can't quite put my finger on it.

Awesome lyrics, vocals, etc... I don't need to tell you, you already know. Great job.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Probably, I'm not a very complex music writer. All the simple stuff has been taken. Just re discovering it on my own...haha. Really glad you like it, brother. Thanks for the listen an review. \m/
