Fro's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[In the news]

Great job.

I loved the feeling that you give off with your author comments and the audio itself. The music was done very well and the vocals matched the song perfectly. I think you did a pretty good job on not making the music during the vocals too loud and vice versa. I could hear both of them perfectly fine without anything drowning anything else out. I also like the sound effects that you used in this submission.

Overall - I can't really think of anything to critique this submission on. Good job all around.

GlueR responds:

Thanks for the review! When I made this, I felt the need that this was an underrated subject that needed to be addressed. It's more of a in-your-face political statement than a song. I really think that music has to get over the stage of speaking mostly about love and sex (or in some genres the all so important question of what a pimp the singer is and how fast his rims turn after he stopped his car). The production for this one took quite some time, because I felt that the balances were a bit fragile, but I'm glad that in the end it came out OK. Thanks again for sharing your opinion (and for liking this)!

[Final Fantasy Girl V2]

Pretty good.

The instruments sounded really good, but there was a couple of points in the song where it sounded a bit muffled. I won't take any points off for it since I don't see anyone else say anything about it and it could just be my speakers.

The vocals and lyrics were also done very well. Perhaps the vocals were drowned out a little bit towards the end of the song, but it wasn't too bad. Perhaps think about adding the lyrics to your author comments? Sometimes everyone doesn't hear what is said and it could be useful to stop confusion with the lyrics at all.

Overall - Very well done and I can't really think of anything to critique on your submission other than the few minor things that I talked about. Good job and keep up the good work.

thanks alot for a great review :D

[Chaotic Freedom]

Hm not too bad.

I do like how it starts off slow and then starts to get faster as the song goes on. It just seemed too much like premade loops. I do like the sound of the song though. It's kind of darker and reminds me of a scary video game for the sega or another old console like that. I think you could have worked on the ending a little bit too because the crash cymbal that was used at the end didn't do justice to the rest of the song in my opinion.

Insanimation responds:

OK, thanks for the great review! I didn't really want it to sound like a premade loop, because it wasn't, but I guess it just turned out that way..

And I know where you're coming from with the ending being a bit anti-climactic.

[Why I'm Deprived]

Didn't like it too much.

I'd say all seven of your points in my rating came from the song itself. I really didn't enjoy the vocals too much. Perhaps they would have sounded better if they were a little louder, but they honestly didn't sound the best. So first I would recommend making them louder because I could barely hear what they said. I wouldn't have known if you didn't put the lyrics in the author comments. Other than being louder I do think they need to be sang better also. I did like the background music though so good job on that.

ShortMonkey responds:

Cheers. Like I said to the reviewer below me, I agree and hate the vocals too and I'm trying to learn how to sing.

[avast wkyiylti]

Not too good.

I think that it's kind of funny the way that you explained it in your author comments. "a very annoying song that will kill you if you listen to it."

Ha, I don't think it's really that annoying, but I think I understand where you were coming from. If you wanted to make it annoying like that then you need more random noises in it.

If it's suppose to be a good loop for someone to use in a flash or something then I think it could be used. I think it could be used for a small part of a flash and just have it loop two or three times in a row. Probably in a flash that's for comedy.

I don't see it being to useful to listen to or to use other than that though because it's pretty short. If you make it about 10 seconds longer and add a couple of different noises in there then perhaps it wouldn't be too bad.

Overall - Not very good because of it's length, but it's not that bad of a loop itself.

suprising...

[[S:C]Duel Under Three Moons]

Interesting.

It was very different and for that I think it's very good. It had an original sound to it. I liked how it changed up several times throughout the entire song. Apparently there were some vocals in there? I listened through two times and didn't hear them. :S Oh well lol, I'm really hard of hearing so I probably didn't catch them. I do think that it could have used some more (I'm assuming there is vocals in it) throughout the song. Perhaps something like a countdown from 3 to 1. For some reason I think of that when listening to this song. It kind of goes with the whole moon theme too.

Overall - Very different and a fun song to listen to. If there were vocals I didn't notice them at all, but I do think it could use more vocals throughout the song. Keep up the good work.

SymbolCymbal responds:

lol there really arent any vocals in there. its just a woman breathy moaning. like ahh.
im thinking of throwing in a queen of england speech in there. the three moons kinda signify that it isnt happening on this planet. we have on moon. or maybe over a three month period of time. i like being vague when naming songs so it will fit in the listeners head better.

thanks for the sweet review. RRC kix ass

[Sp1r1T - Pulse]

Ha yeah... repetition..

The entire thing was pretty repetitive, but obviously you knew that. I personally thought it sounded a little weird for some reason. The dun dun dun part. (The only way I could explain it sorry :P) It's not that bad though. It had a pretty catchy beat to it and it made my girlfriend dance in her chair so I guess it's good enough. :P

Overall - I think it sounded just a little off and too repetitive, but it was different and for that I will give it a good score.

Sp1r1T responds:

Well, I guess Electro House tracks are repetitive without Vocals lolol.

Thanks anywayz :D

[} Balloon Fight {]

Yet another game..

That I've never played before. :P

Ha, all of these 8-bit songs on this website I've never even heard the game. That being said I can't give too great of a review since I can't compare it to the original versions at all. The song itself was very fast pace and fun to listen to. You used great sound effects from which I assume is the game. Great length in the submission also.

theta4 responds:

Just search YouTube for "Balloon Trip" and you should get plenty of videos with the music in context. It's a great song, imho.

[Searchlights]

Trance...

Trance is just too repetitive for my taste, but I can't review a submission on my personal opinion so I won't. The song was kind of catchy and had a couple of nice effects in it. Maybe it could be used for a part in the flash where the scene is really fast pace. Something like someone running from something that is closely following. Like I said before it's pretty repetitive, but so isn't almost any trance submission. You did mix it up a little, but the changes were so subtle that it really didn't add variety to the music.

Overall - Great quality, but just not something that I would enjoy listening to.

~ Review Request Club ~

theta4 responds:

Don't worry, most people don't like trance...except Ferry Corsten's stuff. They seem to really like that stuff. Then again, what he makes doesn't really fit the description of *trance*.

Thanks for the review. And thanks for not voting on opinion. I absolutely hate it when people vote subjectively. We need objective voters!

[MeZoni TriZoni]

Hmm..

Personally this wasn't something that I liked too much, but it still wasn't that bad in terms of quality. The keyboard sounded pretty good and everything, but I do think there are a couple of things you could have improved on a little.

After awhile the song gets quite repetitive and (not to sound rude) almost gets annoying to a point. I think if you would have added a little bit more variety in certain parts of the song that it would have made it a little better.

I also think that you should have used more vocals in this song. A couple of things you could have done with this is add vocals with different vocals or just use the vocals that you had a little sooner and more often, without making it too often.

Overall - Not too bad, but perhaps a couple of things could have been fixed on it.

GlueR responds:

Thanks for the review! You know, this was maybe the last thing I ever did unplanned (this is five years old). It's more fun for me than for you, that's granted. But you can't imagine the pleasure of asking : "Now, what will I do for the next 10 seconds of music?". And feel free to do whatever you like! Oh! The freedom!!!! Nowadays, I stick to structures and plan virtually everything for my band duties, but at some point, I hope I'll let myself loose again...
