Fro's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Jungle Rituals]

~ Review Request Club ~

I see some resemblance of a jungle in here, but really not much. The song as a whole doesn't make me think jungle or jungle ritual. The song itself was kind of laid back and relaxing to listen to.

It had really good drums and a good beat throughout the entire thing. There is a very nice blend or balance of instruments. It's not exactly simple and it isn't too busy by any means.

All in all a good piece.

I thought the drums were maybe like a jungle tribe's (slow and steady), but what the hell do I know lol? The point is I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I'm greatly sorry for the review below mine. Supersteph is a big spammer and he should be removed from the RRC immediately. I have a slow internet connection and his review made the page take a long time to load. ;)

Hm, well I get into trouble when I find audio submissions that I like. I can't really pick them apart like some people can. I can only say what I don't like and well... there wasn't anything that I really disliked about this submission so I can't even do that.

So yeah, nothing but praise from me. I can't even really give this a review. :P

GronmonSE responds:

Supersteph tends to do that haha.

Well, um, glad you like it a lot? :D

[Katlean prime redo 2010]

~ Review Request Club ~

This song has a very creepy sound to it. Not creepy like I'm scared for my life, but like something that you might expect to hear in a Halloween related cartoon show or perhaps flash submission.

It was a pretty good song all around and I enjoyed listening to it. I felt that it had sort of a week ending that could have been a bit stronger. The song itself was also a bit short and maybe could use some sort of creepy sound effects like a wolf howling or something of that sort.

Calamaistr responds:

err no no adds to this song, afterall its based on something already and there are no wolfs in katlean.

But im glad you liked it. :) So thanks :)

[Walking in the Desert]

~ Review Request Club ~

This is a very nice piece all around. I really liked how relaxing it was. It almost seemed to be one of those submissions were you couldn't really tell if it was really sad or almost a happy/sad mix. I'm assuming that you were going for the sad theme here alone though.

Very nice piece all around like I already said. I really enjoyed the piano. There's not much that I can find to say about it though. Being lost for words isn't a bad thing though I suppose. :P

Wow, this was pretty cool. I liked the fact that this song contains so many interesting sounds that I haven't heard before. It's starts of very calm and relaxing and then get kind of hectic like something sad or freighting is happening in the song.

Even though it got really busy later in the song it never really left it's relaxing and soft theme behind. Perhaps some really soft vocals could spice this up a little bit in the parts where it slows down?

SessileNomad responds:

vocals could work, but idk i dont know any vocalists and my voice isnt very pretty : /

I would say that this piece is very creative and you had a lot of interesting sounds and beats in here. The first minute or so would have to be my favorite part of the song. After that it was still pretty good though.

There was quite a bit variety in the song so it never really got too repetitive to me personally. There were a lot of cool sound effects to go along with the variety. I think that the only thing that I had against this song was that there was really no theme behind it. Unless your theme was anything goes and you wanted to create a completely random piece. Along with that it was a bit long and I wouldn't mind seeing it shortened just a little bit.

Sawdust responds:

Yeah, the melodies are all over the place, but none of them are really that good are they? I think that this is a sign that vicious editing IS required. Thanks for the review though, I'm glad you enjoyed the piece.

[Mans0n- Sound Of My Dream]

~ Review Request Club ~

I really liked the vocals used here and think that you should have focused more on them. You only had them for a very short amount of time and portion of your song and personally I thought they could have taken up the whole thing. They were by far the best part of the submission.

It has a pretty good beat all around and it's pretty good. I wish it was a bit longer as well and that would have really stressed the part of my review where I said you should have had more vocals. Very simple and there is a lot of room for improvement, but a good start.

~ Review Request Club ~

Mans0n responds:

The problem is i only have that one long sample of the vocals ;/
and the other verse i have is 20 BPM shorter. And i don't know how i would transition from 140 to 120 without ruining the song lol. But thanks for the awesome advice! And I still try and throw more in.

I know people have said this over and over, but I also feel that one of your strong points in this song was the nice build up effect that you had. Listening to the first couple of moments almost made this sound like it wasn't going to be anything too great, but slowly and steadily it got better and better.

It picked up very nicely and had a nice fast pace to it. I listened to it a few times as I really enjoyed it. Perhaps some sort of vocals could have been thrown in there somewhere to make it a bit interesting?

dj-Jo responds:

Yea maybe

Thanks for the suggest..
Cause I just got a new professional USB Blu Microphone

[O.H.35 - Rocket]

~ Review Request Club ~

I actually thought it was very good. A lot of people talked about how repetitive it was, but I felt that for being over six minutes long you had a really good deal of variety in it.

I think that the only thing that you could have made a little bit better would be the voices that you used. They were there, but if they were a little bit stronger or evident I think it would have been much better.

I myself thought the guitar sounded pretty real and had no problems with it at all. I really liked the mix of genres here. Not only did they help a lot with the variety, but they were mixed very well.

OH35 responds:

Thanks for the review, glad you liked the song!

The guitars used ARE real so I'm surprised that people think they sound fake, perhaps too much effect applied in some parts of the track...

[Out of My Sight]

~ Review Request Club ~

I was wondering where the vocals came from because I had never heard the lyrics before. Are they original lyrics or something that your sister had made up herself? Either way she has a pretty good voice and you did a good job with adding some effects to her voice here and there.

The music itself is really good. I like how the music went along with the tone of her voice. The song seemed to be in harmony. Like mentioned before you had nice use of effects and the song as a whole is actually very good. Great job.

MusicIsBliss responds:

Thank you very much. She made the lyrics herself. She has a little blue book with all sorts of poems in them and I asked her to write lyrics for a song, and voile. And yes, I basically constructed the entire song around the lyrics, something I have never done before.
