Fro's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Silent Castle]

Not bad.

I found this song to be very relaxing, which is a good thing because it's 1:00 in the morning and I'm having a hard time getting to bed. Perhaps this song will help a little bit. ^^ The guitar was pretty good throughout the entire thing even though there were some spots here and there that seemed like you messed up a little bit or parts that just sounded a little out of place or messy. Is this just completely guitar? The solo was decent. I'm use to the fast past solos since I usually listen to heavy metal audio here on newgrounds, but overall the entire piece was pretty good. Good night. :)

Thanks for the reviews! It is completely guitar too. And yes youre right, anything that sounds like I messed up is because...well I messed up. I had recorded the solo like 4 times and messed up the least on this one and I reeeaaaly didnt feel like recording it again. so...yeah

[Alakazama]

Too short. :(

It really isn't that bad. The guitar in the song is pretty good. You had a nice build up effect in the very beginning, but then it was basically the same beat over and over. Perhaps adding some different guitar riffs in there to spice up the song a little bit and to make it a bit longer. The drums might have went well with the song if they were louder. They were drowned out by the guitar and you could barely hear them. Overall, a decent song, but it needs to be a bit longer with some more variety and louder drums.

[A Grey Sunset]

Hmm. I don't know about this.

What was the noise that was in the very beginning of the song? It sounded like some sort of error or glitch. Perhaps that should have been edited out if it was a mistake. If it wasn't a mistake than I still don't think it fits very well. Same with the ending. It just kind of ends all of a sudden. There isn't anything to notify that it's going to end like a fade out or the song ending on a series of notes. This gives the effect of just ending abruptly. The guitar was alright, not the best, but not really terrible. I do thing that the guitar itself could be worked on and perhaps a little bit more variety could be added in the song.

It was just tapping. I'll edit it some time, if I get real equipment.

[Subtle Changes]

It was different.

It had a different sound to it. It wasn't really a bad thing and it wasn't exactly a good thing, but I think it may have turned out alright. I don't mind different/weird sounds like this as long as audio artists are trying to get of the generic audio that you always hear on newgrounds. Sometimes it's good to hear something different now and then. I liked the introduction and the guitar in the beginning, but then the guitar just got a bit messy in my opinion. I guess you could have said the entire thing was a little messy, but like I said I'm going to rate this favorable because I feel it gets out of the ordinary generic sounds that we hear everyday.

Nice job here.

This is great ambient music. I allowed this to play in the background for awhile while I lurked the BBS and read through some threads. I let it loop around three times or so and it was still as good of a listen the third time around as it was the first two times. I'm a real big sucker for any guitar in a submission. :D Ha, that being said though I still think this is almost professional sounding. Like it could be used in the introduction to a video game that you would see being sold in a video game store in a Mafia/Grand Theft Auto game or something like that. Great catchy tune with enough variety in it so I could listen to it a couple of times without being bored. I'm looking forward to reviewing more of your audio in the near future.

[Dusted]

Great job.

I don't know much about Hip-Hop, but this was really a good submission. It had a great beat to it that I can imagine some lyrics on it. Hopefully someone puts lyrics on it and makes another version of it because I think it's a great backtracking piece for lyrics. Very relaxing tune to listen to and it had a lot of variety. It also had very smooth transitions and the flow of the submission was really good. I could even see this being used in a flash animation perhaps. Overall, a great submission to listen to and it would be great to add lyrics to it.

[Creation And its Purpose]

Great job.

Another really good one that I enjoyed listening to. Something that I noticed with this song is that even though it was over 4 minutes it never really got repetitive at all. I enjoyed the introduction to the song and liked how it slowed down a little bit and then picked up with new beats every so often. You did a great job mixing this up so it wasn't too repetitive and you had a lot of variety in it. Overall, it had a catchy beat and it was fun to listen to.

FatKidWitAJetPak responds:

Sweet! It is cool how my first songs are as good as the ones I have now.

[(::Jumping On A Trampoline::)]

Nice job.

It's a good sign when I go back to your first song and it's this good. That should mean for several other good songs also. It was very catchy and had a groovy beat to it. The only complaint that I can think of at all is around 40 seconds or so when you introduce the new instrument it may sound a bit crowded or messy because there is a lot going on at once. It doesn't last too long though so it's not really a problem. Overall, a fun and fast paced submission to listen to.

FatKidWitAJetPak responds:

Thanks. I think a lot of my songs sound a like though. I need to imrpove on the variety of sounds I use. 0_o

Well thanks for your detailed review!

[Lost Heaven (Mafia Mix)]

Nice long song.

Ah, this was a nice long song to listen to. Because of it's length it gave me a nice break to do some of my study guide that needs to be completed. =P It was a pretty fast pace song with a great beat to it. A little repetitive, but most of your work is like that to be honest. Overall, a fun submission to listen to and a good beat throughout the entire thing.

WritersBlock responds:

Thanks for the 10. I can totally understand where you're coming from about the repetitiveness of my music, and while I honestly feel that it's good to have my music "spaced out" a bit, I think tightening down on that wouldn't be too bad.
;D

[HappyHomicide's Challenge]

Great job.

Good job on adding the solo to this backing track. Like always I loved the guitar and everything. It's kind of a short backing track to work with, but I think that you did it justice with the short amount of room that you had here. I enjoyed the parts near the end of this piece a little bit more as that's where the pace picked up a little bit and I loved the way the ending sounded.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Thanks very much, my friend. That was my favorite part too. :D haha
