Fro's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[-Drifting-]

We can all relate.

I think we can almost all relate to the story that you put down. It can be a difficult time and I know at 20 years old sometimes I still go through the thoughts in my head of is this what I really want to be doing, I had so many chances, all of the good times that I had are now over, etc..

It goes by fast and we really don't appreciate it while we have it, but life does get better and it all depends on how you personal choose to view it. I think you really showed that in this song. You get the feeling of hope and the feeling of sadness all mixed into one song.

But with sadness there should always come hope. And with hope sometimes there comes sadness. You did a brilliant job showcasing that in your work here even if you weren't going for that exactly.

I really enjoyed it. Keep up the good work man and good luck.

I once heard someone say that before every mountain top is a valley. When life is great, things are bound to decline at some point. On the other hand, even when you are in the most difficult phase of your life, way down in that valley, it just means that you are coming to an even higher mountaintop.

I try to look at life from that perspective. I cherish the good times and live to the fullest. When times are hard, I look forward with hope, knowing things will get better.

Thank you for the great review. It got me thinking. Even a bit inspired. :)

[Fletus Caeli]

Not bad at all.

This had a very good sound to it. A good video game feeling to it all around. It also had a nice epic feel to it as the bass jumps out and bunches you in the face as soon as it starts. :P

I can see an army marching to this while the other army has no chance of stopping them at all. Sounds like it would be pretty cool for the introduction of a IRL video game. Something more than what you would see on a flash submission.

EvilScorpio responds:

Thanks for a good review) Sorry for late answer, my internet wasn't work...

[(SoD)-Eternal Arcade]

Pretty good

I like the video game parts that you put in your song. The extra sound effects really added to it. I also thought you did a really good job on mixing the song up so it doesn't' get boring. You really found the happy medium between too repetitive and too crazy. Great job there.

The random vocals that you used were very well timed also. Not overused, but perhaps could have been used a couple more times. The length of the submission was very good and you did a good job on not letting the song get boring with such a long time frame here.

Thank you for your kind complimentaries

[Tom Fulp, Share Your Chicks!]

My favorite song ever now.

Not only was this one of if not the best song that I've ever heard on this website, but it makes my favorite of all time off of the website too. And I'm a heavy metal fan. This isn't even close to my genre.

The humor that you included in this song was amazing. You kept the funny shit up for the entire song. Very epic and I loved that I can laugh during an entire song because it was so good instead of laughing at it because it was so bad like I tend to find myself doing.

Very dreamy voice man. How do you not have the girls all over you? ;) Seriously though the lyrics were amazing, the vocals were some of the best that I've heard on the site, and just a great song all around. There's really no way to improve it at all.

Faved, 5'd, 10/10.

CountBoogie responds:

Great review man, thanks. The girls think my voice is dreamy, but then they see me in person and notice my weird facial features and are totally freaked out. I'll try to survive like Morgan Freeman I suppose. Oh well, thanks again Fro.

[Paradox (Bestial Remains)]

Hmm, like I mentioned in another of your songs.

I'm a big heavy metal fan so you're getting a few extra bonus points from me, but overall it's just not good heavy metal music. The biggest problem all around is the voice. It just doesn't sound great. A lot of it sounds very rushed and just isn't the heavy metal voice that I think of when I listen to a song like this.

The guitar and drums were done very well. Perhaps the entire thing had a quality problem all around.

The lyrics themselves were ok here, but sounded like they needed some actual singing in between the screams. Your best quality though is obviously the longer screams like at the very end of the song. The other parts just don't seem to cut it for me though.

Blackdoom13 responds:

Ok thanks for the review. But listen to our remastered version of this song.
I think you'll be pleased.

[Deadbeat Shuffle (Daisy Chain)]

A bit better than the last.

I liked it all and it had a very nice hardcore sound to it at the beginning of the song. At the end of the song I don't really like the fact that it faded out so long. It seems that the guitar really picked up towards the end and you just faded through it like that part wasn't very important.

A decent song all around and I think a little bit better than your last. Doesn't sound as empty or like it needs anything additional like vocals. Perhaps a bit of static in this one though?

Cornilious responds:

I'm not sure about the static, it might be that or the large amount of fuzz on both the guitar and bass.
I really do think this needs vocals though.

[BeautifulSound(DaisyChain)]

I thought it was pretty good.

It sounded like something that I had heard before, but I just couldn't put my finger on it because I'm not that good at remember names and what not. I think the instruments were done rather well in this submission, but the overall feel that I get from this submission is that it's kind of empty.

Such as it needs vocals in it. Other than that it's very relaxing and a good quality song overall. Like I said it just seems a bit empty.

Cornilious responds:

Vocals, vocals, vocals!
They will be added sometime, hopefully soon.

[We Are Lost (full Vocals)]

I'll go with a 7 here.

First off why did your account become deleted? I rather not review submissions from someone who's just going to get deleted eventually. :/

Anyway, the song itself sounded really good. Good background music and the vocals mixed in very well. It was very upbeat and fun to listen to for awhile, but in my opinion it went on for too long.

It ended up getting rather repetitive and boring after awhile. It almost sounded like you could have cut the song length in half to reduce this repetitiveness and I think it would have sounded much better like that.

Perhaps a couple of different lyrics would have helped out with the repetitive feeling also.

statueofdiveo responds:

the deletion was of my past account.

[Coming Home (Daisy Chain)]

Hmm, lets see here.

This all sounded really good. I probably let it play over a couple of times before I could really think about anything to say about it, but I finally figured out a couple of things.

First I would like to say that I think that the guitar is drowned out by the rest of the music a little bit. Not so much that the other music is too loud, but more over that the guitar is too quiet.

Other than that a very decent song all around. Nice and relaxing to listen to. Worth a listen in my opinion. Keep up the good work.

Cornilious responds:

I'm assuming you mean the guitar playing the melody. I originally wanted it to be low in the mix because I want to put some vocals in too. I think that the vocal melody and the guitar melody would be similar but varied at some parts so I didn't want them to clash if they were the same volume.
Thanks!

[Jumpstyle (Beat 1)]

Woah, fun.

The area right around 50 seconds give and/or take a second or two made this song very exciting in my opinion. Really starts off sounding generic, but you added a few cool effects to it that made it really sound good.

Something that I was really nodding my head to the entire time along with tapping my foot on the ground. Just gives that feeling that you want to move when listening to this song.

The introduction of vocals later in the submission was really nice and from there on you had even more cool effects that really made this submission sound good.

Overall it was really upbeat and fun to listen to. Great job!
