JustShawn's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Undertale - Asgore, The Fallen King]

Undertale has been over-rated for quite awhile...but this piece...just wow!
Incredible mixing here, everything flows, no subtle fades or anything...a true masterpiece and it's flawless.

However...that 8 seconds at the end has to go. Cut that off or do a fade out/in for those who wish to loop.

[GRIP - 961016]

Interesting to say the least.
You clearly have talent and it sounds heavily inspired by Old School Linkin Park and a few other groups out there during Hybrid Theory's shine in the spotlight.

For that, you earn 5 stars!

[Pyramid (Crystalis Tribute)]

Seto's Pyramid has always been one of my favorite levels for many reasons...as you can permanently FLY though the whole stage without losing any MP!...that and the music, the exp, the fighting style and spammage with the warrior ring...ahh memories. Basically turning ourselves into a machine gun like those damn status in the Shin Village dungeon...just Blarg! lol

Bout time someone took some time out to relive their golden days with this game...now you need to remix "Angry Seas". HA!

XxX-WOLF-XxX responds:

Angry Seas was next on my list but I got lazy haha.
Crystalis is one huge nostalgia trip for me so I know what you mean. Thanks for taking the time to listen and leave a comment!

[Final Fantasy 7 - Jenova Absolute (A Mothers Revenge remix)]

Right off the bat...I get a hint of HEAVY influence by HIM!....just fantastic!
You kept true to the original in a sense, but your intro really drags on til about 0:50...and the length of some of your notes and sounds are a tad too long. This piece was originally made to present the player with an AMP'd up battle mode against Jenova's top half...and be ready for the fight of our lives in a sense! The original was sooo damn ear tingling that it made me buy the OST!...erm...yea.

While the people of youtube will say/do anything...I'm not one to follow suit.
If you increase your tempo by say 10%, you're piece will flare off like a mother fucker! 4.5/5!

DjAtish2012 responds:

Hey thanks man, really appreciate the comment and tips there. this was done a few years back, if I ever go back in re'remixing it, then I'll keep your aid in mind. :)

[Ninja Gaiden - Unbreakable Determination ( Club M!x )]

This takes me back to when I emulated this, bought it for my Wii, and even played it on the original console! While you do justice to an overly remixed piece, the piece itself is quite old...and giving it as much flare as you have, gives you a 5/5 for sheer creativity.

Bloody Mask would have sit well meshed into this piece, as if you play the two side by side with a 6 second gap, the meshing sounds fantastic! There are a few beats outta place when you combine these two together...but if you know your way around meshing up a hybrid mix piece...why YES!...YES YES YES YESSSS! ... *coughs* Ehem...

There really isn't a lot of Ninja Gaiden pieces out there on this site, and those that are...are lower in quality. You sir...must do MOAR!

DjAtish2012 responds:

Lol, thanks mate glad you like it.

[-ThunderZone v2-]

This is the kinda work I'd expect from you honestly WF.
In regards to your "In Progress" pieces...hopefully they sounds similar to this cause lets be real here...your stuff here lately lacks the flare found here in this piece and a lot of your older workings.

I want you to know that your older workings have taken over the BGM's of a few of my MMORPG's I play to date...(on repeat) lol

[Dependency (Revisited)]

Disturbed
Tool
Shinedown
Metallica
Pantera
and shockingly...Godsmack as well as some Cold!

This is pretty damn good! I love the thrashy feel and mash up of all those great bands! Your vocals are pretty damn good as well, and really bring this piece to life! My only gripe is that there's a bit of hesitation with your vocals from time to time...short on breath? ;-)

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Thank you, sir. I've been dying to revisit this one. I could very well be out of breath....this is a number of years ago. Since this, I've put in countless hours of practice and lessons and now the singer for a pretty rad band. I'm hoping I've improved substantially to give this fucker even more life!! haha.

Thanks man, for all your reviews and support. Means a great deal to a fucker like me. :)

[The Unfilled Void]

9 years later and I stroll across this piece...
Jesus...what's wrong with me?! You're one of my favorite artists on this site...and I didn't discover this lovely slice of pure ear tingling GOODNESS!?
Back in 07, dethklok was HUGE and they still are honestly...
Everyone love's the show...given they're only 15 min episodes...I still watch em, regardless if they're a rerun or not! Their albums are brutal and kick ass, and you can feel their influence in this piece...
YOU...
MUST....
REMASTER......
THIS!!!!!

Do it or!...OR....OR!!!....shit, I don't know.

[Tonight Is Ours]

Some of your instruments are a little quiet and sound extremely generic...but then again, your vocals cover that up nicely! This is studio quality work, and screams professionalism...and to be frank, when I heard this...I thought it was a cover for a particular group...you guys sound just like em!

The only gripe I have is that the volume on some of your instruments is quiet, and the tones of your drums and hi's as I said above, sound generic.
Over-all, great piece!

[Into The Abyss--Trance/Rock]

Why is this rated soo low? Why so few reviews? Why soo little attention?
This needs to be revitalized and shared...quickly.
The sounds...the feels...
The Way it trances you into like that "ultimate" dungeon and final boss fight feel...
THIS...is what I call good RPG music...hell, it would even fit well with some of the FPS's...
