JustShawn's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Viking Spirit and Rage]

Im jealous! No matter how zealous I become trying to do solo's I usually fuck them up...and you just really pissed me off with this piece! But look at it as a good thing...makes me strive to become better and start to publish my own solo's in the for-seen future.

The vocal's were a damn good touch and makes the piece extremely epic in it's own accord. Props! Fiver for you! 4.5 rating because I wanted to just piss you off for pissing me off! @_@ keep up the damn good work son!

DanJohansen responds:

YOU FIEND!!!!!! You took a half star from me you... you...!!! XD Thanks man, glad you dig it, I am posting another tune soon, hope you don't shave off a whole star then :(

[Pandora 2013]

For a "Demo" piece this sounds pretty fuckin' complete to me. There is no need for lyrics what so ever in my gods to honest opinion. Everything flow's so well, and the rifts by them self scream LISTEN TO ME NOW BITCH! lol!

I had to listen to this about 4 times before I decided to download it :P Excellent job!

gu3Shaw responds:

Thanks! I guess I just critique myself to heavily. haha. I'm glad you like it as an instrumental! One day I'll have the version with vocals up, cause it's pretty awesome all together. :P

[Defy The Odds (Metalcore)]

\m/ 'nuff said

[Last Order]

Why do I get the feeling I'm actually playing CC right now? O.o

RokaiYotama responds:

Because you want to play again just to hear this song in game >:D

[Messiah]

Deep and grungy, with a touch of evil. Very nice ~ and if I had a translator i'd be all over these lyrics.
A little more length would be nice, and some general pauses in between rifts would give it more of a head banger feel :)

Over all, not a bad track! \m/ keep jammin'

[Drifting Feathers]

I gotta say I am very impressed with what you did here. I love the melody as it takes me back to my quest 64 grinding days...ahh the childhood memories that game gave me! The melody reminds me of Isle of Skye's theme.
Very soothing, yet mysterious.

Great job and the loop is FLAWLESS!

Keiichi93 responds:

Thanks :) I'm glad to know that it had that impact on you. The older generation games were something else, and the Tales series had a huge impact on me for the Gamecube. The music in those games are what inspired me to make music for games. I'm also glad how the loop came out. Wasn't expecting it to be as good as it was, honestly.

[Electronic Hard Rock]

Catchy indeed...
Repeats a little more than what I care for, but the beat itself is great! The only gripe, would be the repeat. Everything else sounds 99% flawless, an excellent piece and the switch at 2:15 was nice!
Rebounds from a simple pattern which has earned you 4.5/5 :D

[Continue? Theme Remix]

Ninja Gaiden...HA!
The game kicked ass, the music wasn't the greatest really...I prefer 1 and 3's soundtracks over 2's any day. But this particular piece was alright. Might I suggest adding some more flare to give it your well known 'theme'?

Coulda made it shorter and looped it (just my opinion.)
Good work you got here (as usual)

[B7 - Pokemon R/B Battle W]

Ok, I need to slap you across the face with 5 stars!
This little slice of head bangers glory is just what I needed at 8 fucking AM...
Works gonna suck today, and I needed a pick me up. Favorited PERMANENTLY!

Suck on them apples Burn7 ^_^ \m/
and....
FOR GODS SAKE FIX THE DAMN LOOP!!!!
Fade Out's do NO justice -_-

[Signal Strength (Inst.)]

Three Gripes...

1) The intro was a little excessive...and your build-up may be flawless, the lead drowns out your drums.
2) Some rifts have little "flavor" to them and are excessively repeat more than I expected. *
*) While this may have been your intention, it gives your piece an overly anticipated feel up to 2:22
3) Your drums are extremely quiet.

Other than those three issues, I enjoyed the melody.
