Fro's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[==(Endless Cyan Ocean)==]

Ah, it's me Cocky52.

It's been a long time since I've reviewed one of your submissions, but it's a good one like always. Very long, perhaps goes on for a bit too long, but to me it sounds like it would be perfect music for someone who had long credits on a movie or game.

It really sounds like it would work good with any RPG style game for the credits. I'm thinking Final Fantasy while listening to this song FTW. It has a lot of high points and a few low points, but the high points greatly outnumber the low ones. Great sound all around and another quality submission. Good work.

[Billy Mays ;_;]

Good song in itself.

I think the song is pretty good in itself, but really doesn't seem related to Billy Mays. You actually never said it was suppose to be related to him though, just dedicated to him.

*Creeping off of other reviews* I really like the idea of finding some quotes by him and putting them into the song where things get a bit repetitive because there are a few parts where it gets quite repetitive.

That may be hard to find so perhaps you can try to do his voice yourself? Maybe that won't work though just throwing out some ideas for you. The guitar solo was probably the best part of the whole submission. More guitar please. :P

Sawdust responds:

Thanks, I'll keep all of you guys'
advice in mind.

[Word, yo. Funkay.]

Hmm, kind of generic.

To me personally it sounds like a song that I heard a long time ago on one of my old PS1 games. I think that game was Grand Turismo or Grand Turismo 2. (If I even spelled that right)

It sounded like the music you would listen to while shopping for a car or something on the game. :P That's almost what I get out of this though. I think it would be good in a flash for a shopping scene or maybe even a grocery store IRL. >.<

Other than that though I would admit that it's kind of generic. Nothing really too new or exciting to listen to here. Just kind of something that you would expect to hear on the newgrounds portal. Not bad at all though and I enjoyed it a little bit.

statueofdiveo responds:

Thanks. Yeah, it's generic. Except for jazzy harmonies.

[Sweet Tooth]

AHA!

First off don't listen to the review under you. I mean.. listen to the review part, but he said he was with the Review Request Club and he isn't with the RRC at all.

The song is brilliant! The music itself is very simple and wouldn't be too great without the vocals, but with them it's brilliant. They are almost a perfect mix for each other.

It's odd that no matter how funny this is or how much it made me laugh that you actually had a good message behind it too. Ha, was really good all around and I don't know if I could critique it. Very good vocals, lyrics, and music all around. Fave'd.

IdofOz responds:

Thank you for your kind words!

[Bizarre Spy Theme]

Hmm not too bad here.

Don't want to sound like a broken record as the review below mine said the same thing, but the beginning of the theme sounded kind of spy like. The second half just sounded weird, even for a Bizarre Spy Theme. Overall I didn't get a Spy or a Bizarre Spy Theme while listening to this at all.

I think perhaps if it was slowed down a bit it would have been better. When I think of spy themes I think of something slow and sneaky. Then the weirder part at the end of the submission might have worked out giving it the bizarre feel that you were looking for.

Not going with the theme of your title though its a nice little loop and sounds pretty decent all around.

ForNoReason responds:

Thanks Fro.

[Random 8 bit]

I think this sounds awesome!

Woah, this sounds like something that I would like to make a music video with Mario sprites and other types of sprite to. It sounds really awesome! I'll admit that the ending does need a little bit of work as it starts off really fast beat and amazing and then slows down and kind of drags on towards the end.

Very cool song though and I like it a lot. I'm going to add it to my favorites. I think you did something that some people have a hard time doing and that was being creative and original!

(I'm going to request this as a spotlight submission in the Review Request Club)

Thank you for the review, yeah it would be a good music video for mario sprites. Also I think I was original and creative on it.

[Remember the Killings Finished]

Mmm what a dreamy voice ;)

It's been awhile again. Too long to be exact, but here I am yet again to enjoy one of the best musicians on this website. Very simple song like you stated, but still great music all around. Great vocals and lyrics to the song. This sounds really good with vocals on it and the version without seems like it would just sound to simple to me. O.o

Pretty good though. Very relaxing to listen to and just done well all around. Keep up the good work brother.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Thank you very much! Dig the review very much. The simplicity, is something I may continue, for full songs for a couple reasons. But anyways, thanks very much. Glad you dig.

[This is NOT a Real Rave []

Sounds pretty good to me.

I think it has a pretty original sound to it getting away from some of the traditional trance songs that you listen to on newgrounds.

I like the very beginning of the song and it gave off the effect that someone was walking into the front door of a dance club and the slow transition of the song getting clearer would be like the person getting deeper into the dance club and hearing the music more clearer.

The song was pretty fun to listen to and I think was mixed well. I didn't like the cymbal that it ended on though. To me it just kind of felt out of place and all trance songs try to end on that same note for some reason. :/

LightKeeper responds:

I was aiming for that club feel, the low pass does a lot when it comes to giving the effect of going into a party and then closing in on the source of music. :P As far as the cymbal at the end, that's filler. It's actually in the song, but like I said, this is a demo. That's not the end of the full thing, but I think it closes out like that pretty well, so it's alright, even if it is a bit generic.

[Surreal Emotions]

Rather repetitive.

It's basically the same thing repeating over and over. If it wasn't for the background music changing up a bit then I would say meh, this is really too repetitive to even listen to without getting really bored with it.

I do like how in the beginning it was quiet and then it picked up to be a little louder, but I do also think that you should have changed it up a bit.

I can see it being used during the credits of a flash submission though. When the credits are finished the song could be faded out. Actually would make a great credits song for some flashes.

It actually loops together rather well and could perhaps be used for ambient music if it was turned down a little bit.

Thank you for the review. Remember, the audio portal is a place for flash artists to find music, not just to show off music.
