Fro's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

~ Review Request Club ~

A couple of words that come to my mind when trying to describe this song are different, original, cool, variety, etc...

It definitely has a different sound to it than most other submissions on the site, which obviously leads to the original sound it creates. You also had a lot of cool sound effects and a lot of different things going on in this song to really make it sound good.

I rather enjoyed how the introduction was slow in the beginning and then it started to build up. It can help create an image that everything is ok, but it's slowly starting to turn hectic until it quickly turns hectic and then hell just breaks out.

A good song all around and a couple of cool sound effects were there to really help it out.

i think this is my first submission that has an automation to control the BPM of the song, its a pretty cool technique that i was experimenting with

variety was def. somthing i was going for in this one, i wanted it to touch up on a few different genres, BPM changes, effects throughout, stuff like that, im glad you liked that aspect of this

"It definitely has a different sound to it than most other submissions on the site"-- my job here is done :)

glad you liked it dude, peace out

So what all did you do for this? Did you do the voices and the "instruments" that were created with the mouth also? Either or I'm going to review it like you did do all of it and a 10 it deserves for sure.

Even though it may be quite simple it's also quite effective. Great vocals along with great mouth made instrument sounds. There really isn't much that I can do to critique this submission as I think it is perfectly fine the way it is.

Sorry for basically a useless review, but I find it hard to be helpful when the audio doesn't have much if anything wrong with it.

I think the best way of putting it is: Every noise in there came from my mouth. Thanks for the review!

[Far Away From You]

Audio Review Number 900

As usual I come back to you for my special reviews. I do this for one reason and one reason only at that's because your music is just down right awesome. Of course this song isn't any different as it kicked ass.

I loved the singing in this submission with the screams and more metal voices simply backing up instead of being the main attraction in this song. Vocals were great, lyrics were written very well, and you did a great job on producing a great piece of audio here.

I guess the only bad thing is when the song ends it ends. :( It's just one of those things you want to keep listening to you know? Also, I see that you haven't been on as much or submitting as much, but you got to keep making stuff so I have time to visit you ever 100 reviews or so. :P

Keep it up man.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Why thank you. I dig that you come around. I love reading your reviews. Thanks a lot for saving your big numbers for me. That is cool as fuck.
I'll keep making stuff, but ..yeah. Another story. :D No worries though. I'll still put collab stuff here. For sure.

Thanks again, dude. You fucking kick ass.

Ah, I do remember listening to some of your older stuff (back when I was Corky52) and let me say that you have improved a lot since then. What was that sound that you used in the beginning? Was that the crowd cheering? Either or it did sound like that and it sounded awesome. I think you could have used some voices here and there.

Perhaps a count down somewhere early in the song. Maybe even something around 30 seconds saying, "Here we go." So yeah, I think the only way to really improve the submission would to add some small vocals here and there, but other than that it sounded great.

Assios responds:

Yeah, I've improved a lot since those older songs ;P When I now listen to my older songs like electric snake, toxic snake etc..., I think they're really bad

Hmm, maybe I should try to add some voices to see how it is.. I've never used voices in my songs before, so maybe I should try it.

Thanks for the review! :D

[Deep_Town_Blues [Box-Killa]]

~ Review Request Club ~

Ha, this song reminds me of an old cop/detective movie where they are playing that cheesy music in the beginning to set up the introduction of the movie. It also makes me think of an old and dark club where people are drinking/smoking and there is the small band in the background that people really aren't paying that much attention to.

The backing does get a bit repetitive, but other than that it was well mixed and the guitar had enough variety to make the song enjoyable. Pretty good all around and I enjoyed listening to it. It made me smile a little bit for some reason.

Box-Killa responds:

haha yeas old cop movies all the way :D thanks for the review, yes to everything lol.

[Cast From the Stars (Chill MX)]

~ Review Request Club ~

This song sounded really good all around. I loved the introduction the best as it just seemed more layed back then the rest of the song. It had a very relaxing sound to it all around even though it did pick up later on in the song. Very original sound to the entire thing as well.

In terms of a flash there are some parts that would be great for an introduction, parts in the flash itself, but I think it would be a great piece for the credits of a movie. (Not the whole song though unless the credits were that long)

I haven't heard the original and I probably won't, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you did it justice. Maybe the only thing that I didn't like was how long it was. It really didn't take much if anything away from the song, but I just guess I'm impatient. :P

~ Review Request Club ~

Bracksta responds:

ya the original is at a trance bpm and this one at a hip hop pace. The original was not as long. sorry to make you wait, lol. I get impatient to, i understand. Thanks for all of the great feed back Fro, i'll look forward to your future reviews :D.

[Noisy - Lifehouse: Beacon]

~ Review Request Club ~

Pretty cool song. The first impression that I get from this song (and the same one that most people are getting from it) is that it's very relaxing. At the same time as it's relaxing it also has a sort of energy to it though. All around it gives it this happy/relaxing feeling where you can just enjoy the song and feel good about it.

I can't really think of anything else to say about it because I think it's perfectly fine the way that it is. Can't really critique it if I can't find anything wrong in my own opinion. :P So good job and keep up the good work.

INoisy responds:

Thank you very much, cheers man! Relaxing is what I was going for. ;D

[Aliens_On_Earth [Box-Killa]]

~ Review Request Club ~

888th audio review and a pretty good one to use it on I might say. :)

Very cool effects all around. I can see the alien theme for sure in this submission. I can see something hitting the ground and creating a cloud of dust. People slowly start to get closer to see what it is. That's when the aliens slowly start to emerge from the dust and they aren't very friendly. People start to run in fear as the aliens attack, which is represented by the song picking up there towards the middle/end.

I think it could be used in a lot of situations like that though where someone didn't know exactly what happened and then all of a sudden realized that they were in danger from something. You did a good job painting that image in my mind.

Great instruments and great sound all around. Good job.

hehe 888th review, that is NASTY man. Glad you liked it :D Thanks for the reivew

[My Savior (Dance Remix)]

~ Review Request Club ~

To be honest I found little to say about this. My overall impression was that it had many generic sounds to it and it wasn't anything too special, but it wasn't bad by any means. It was also quite long and in some parts it seemed to be drawn out or it might have gotten repetitive in a few spots.

I did start bouncing my foot to song a bit as it was playing so it did have a nice beat and I did get involved a bit, but like I said I think that the song itself was a tad bit drawn out and wasn't anything too special. Sorry for the harsh words.

~ Review Request Club ~

DJ-Chilvan responds:

haha, no problem man! There aint nothin like harsh words in a review! As a matter of fact, the more 'harsh' words in a review, the better. The lead synths were basic, and that was because i couldnt find that 'right' one so i knew that i couldnt go wrong with a simple 8bit synth.
Thanx!

I agree that this song would be a very good match with a flash submission that needed some sort of RPG town song. The first thing that comes to mind is a sprite animation with Zelda sprites or something village like.

The song itself was very relaxing. It sounds like the type of music that I would like to fall asleep to. Actually, it sounds like something that I would expect to hear back in the day at high school (Oh god so many years ago) when we were forced to watch the high school band. I would secretly pretend that I didn't enjoy the songs like most of the other kids, but the real situation was actually I was just becoming very relaxed, which looked like I was being bored.

This song does exactly that and makes me think about all of that. Perhaps it did go on for a bit long as 6 minutes is quite long to listen to any song, but really other than that it sounds very good.

DJ-Chilvan responds:

ha, im sorry its a lil long but i had to do what i had to do ;). Thanx for the review, I agree, the song is very relaxing.
