Fro's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Waking the Beast]

You bastard

Don't delete your audio. ^^ I hate it when my review count goes down that much. Ha, I do remember this piece of audio and I probably mentioned something in my last review with how you should add some kick ass vocals in it, but fuck me I say that in everyone of your songs that don't already have vocals.

How did I miss reviewing this one? I just reviewed your stuff a couple of days ago I thought. Oh well, I guess it happens. I'm happy I checked in so I didn't miss it. Just a tad bit repetitive, but it still kick ass. *Another vocals comment* You know vocals help stop making a song so repetitive right? Haha, I'm just picking on you though. I know real life has you busy and everything.

Great guitar and great drums all around. Great piece of audio that everyone should have a listen to sometime.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

haha. Thanks very much man. Sorry about the deleting stuff. Won't happen again.
Anyways, Thanks for the review, dude. Glad to see you out and about again.

Yeah, song would be less repetitive with vocals, As soon as I get the time, I will. :D

Thanks again, man

[Revolutionary Physics]

Pretty good.

I can barely tell that it loops. The only reason that I could tell it was going to loop at all was because of the little fade out effect where you made things more quiet towards the end of the song so it would fit the beginning of the submission a little better.

You did something that people that make loops for video games have a hard time doing. You made it long enough without it being too long and you added enough variety throughout the song so that it's not that repetitive of a loop. For some reason people don't understand what I mean by a loop not being repetitive and this is exactly what I mean. You added enough variety throughout the entire song so by the time it gets back to the beginning it doesn't really sound like it's the same old same old all over again because we kind of forget exactly how it sounds.

Good job all around and it will probably be used for a flash submission, especially a game. Or at least it would be useful for that.

I'm glad that it's not repetitive. I was worried that there was TOO much variety, making the listener distracted.

Thanks alot. I hope it'll be useful to someone.

[Day of Trance (Day 1)]

Not too bad, but not the best.

The impression that I got from this submission was that you were just practicing with a new program and having fun making a new submission. I can tell that because it's really generic meaning it sounds like most other submissions of this genre.

The build up effect wasn't too bad. It seems like almost everyone uses the build up effect in their songs anymore. It's still something that should be used in a lot of songs though in my opinion.

The overall sound of the submission was very repetitive. Working on some sound effects or different things to add variety would probably really help the submission out.

The sound that you introduced somewhere around 17 or 18 seconds into the song was very interesting though. I really liked the sound and it gave it almost a dreamy feel. Something that seems to me doesn't really fit the rest of the song too well, but should definitely be put in a different song sometime if you can get it to work.

Thanks for the review, yeah, I was mostly just seeing what this version had to offer and just threw this together.

[Mega Man ZXA | Soul Ablaze]

Long as shit

Really long, but because of that the submission is just a tad bit repetitive. It still has a very catchy tune to it and it was fast paced and quick. It would make some epic theme song to a Mega Man movie or probably several other movies too.

I've never saw, heard, or played anything that had to do with Mega Man before in my life so I can't really relate this song to the original, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you did a great job on it.

So good job to both of you on a great quality song.

[Rage of the DarKness]

I loved it

The only way to explain the sound that this audio makes would be epicness. It sounds like an epic battle song and heavy metal guitar mixed together. Even though every epic battle song needs guitar like this in my opinion.. wait no that's a fact.

I never played the game so I can't really put in the real visuals while listening to this, but you sure created some good ones. Also, what's the boss in the game?

[Travelling the past RAW]

Welcome to the Dark Side

Nice introduction to this song. What I really enjoyed was the part right around 52 seconds where it picked up a got a little bit heavier. It does seem like it needs a little bit more added to it. Perhaps a couple of screaming vocals and a little bit longer submission with a kick ass solo would finish this song off properly.

An overall good song though.

[When you're gone]

Nice job

When I was listening to this song I imagined a scene in a flash submission of a character/hero walking away from a big battle that he just won with pride, glory, etc.. I'll probably end up using it in a flash in the near future for exactly a scene like that.

Nice guitar that's pretty soothing in this song. A littler short, but nothing wrong with it. It's packed full of quality. ^^

Good job all around.

[--Torn--]

Good job all around.

Good Points - It had a nice catchy beet and was fun to listen to. The vocals were really good and sounded great with the song. The song itself could probably be used to make a some sort of sad flash animation for valentines day. You did a good job using the lyrics in the song.

Bad Points - Not too much. Perhaps adding a little bit more variety with the instruments would have made it a little better, but other than that I though this submission was really good.

Overall - A very good song that you did a great job with vocals on. Probably would be useful for a sad flash.

Jimtopia responds:

Glad you liked it, that'd be cool to see this in a sad V-day flash. :)

[Mindlink]

Not bad.

Good Points - I like the guitar in this submission and the drums were pretty decent to. The submission had pretty good length and decent variety to it. It looks like it may be a decent song to set up with lyrics so you may want to think about putting lyrics on it sometime. Especially if you guys are going to consider yourself a band. You may want some more people, especially a singer or two.

Bad Points - Perhaps the song itself could have been a little louder. I won't take any points off for this because I know my speakers are bad. Even though there was a nice amount of variety you still might want to add something. The guitar and drums make it seem a little empty, but again it's really not too necessary, perhaps just things you may want to think about. I do think there were times where the guitar was a bit weak.

Overall - A decent song that could perhaps use a couple of things, but it's pretty good by itself.

Element responds:

OH THANKS

[.:Something Soothing:.]

Pretty good.

Good points - This was a nice calming song to listen to. It reminds me of a song that would be played in the introduction or the credits of a flash submission/movie. The part that you had around 1:28 was decent, but it should have lasted a little bit longer. The entire song itself had a lot of variety within itself even though the main sounds were still a bit repetitive.

Bad points - Like I said you did have a lot of different sounds in there, but the main sound almost played through the entire thing and got a little repetitive. Not too much though. The ending could have been a little different. Perhaps a fade out would have worked a little better here instead of the abrupt ending. That or a longer series of notes to end on. I basically just had to try and find something a wrong with the submission and if that was all I could come up with you did a pretty good job. :)

Overall - A pretty good relaxing song with not too much wrong with it.
