JustShawn's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Catgirl Summer]

This for sure has Anime written all over it!
Just the general hype alone is enough to fit right in with the genre, then of course, you can SMELL your style all over this piece. The portion you mentioned around 1:50ish is noticed, but you know what? If you're feelin the track, you can't even tell one bit, so no knocks there.

The pitches around 2:30 and taking it to 16-bit beat style...was a brilliant touch! You don't see that much often anymore these days...which is why I said you can smell your style ;-)
So tell me...when are you going to come back full swing with something so nasty, crispy, brutally insane, and uber fresh for all of us?

Our ears demand JUSTICE!...and I'm still waiting for your pieces to make it to the top of Tiktok man...where be you on there? Rofl! Your audio would become insanely popular!

Burn7 responds:

I mean, I have an entire album (with vocal/instrumental versions of each song) already written that just needs mixing/mastering... But who the fuck has time for that in adulthood right?

Also: I'll probably just keep doing what I've been doing forever and post here on NG where I started. I think my outlook on getting listens/views or whatever has changed a lot since I first started posting. Nowadays if I just hit the frontpage of NG once a year I'm happy.

Maybe one day I'll post something other than music even lol

Anyway, good to see you're still trolling about on here :]

[Full Force!!]

I smell another Advertisement within a clip of mine coming!!!
MUST! USE! THIS!

Edit: 6/22/2021
With PLEASURE! With as high energy as this is...I'm gonna have to hopefully get into a multi-team battle and come out victorious!! Which is honestly rare in "the game" lmfao!
2:16 - 2:40 has some serious potential for a revision of a previous clip of mine! Might drop that for ShizNgiggleZ lol!

DanJohansen responds:

USE IT!!! Shoot em all!

[Ethereal Pasture]

Ahhhh such soothing lines! I'm soooo gonna borrow this! This suits what I'm about to post, and yes I will give proper credit as always! Check your BAWX for a link to the finished work my good sir!

Please keep these kinds of beats coming! This just suits my mood, and lets just say that my coworkers even like the feels they get from this! Too bad they dont have a NG or they could enjoy this gloriousness! If you get a slam of followers...you know who to thank ^_^!!!

DanJohansen responds:

Glad you dug it man! My next tune will be pretty epic and dark, so don't expect this sooth-ness next time you see a new post from me, this one is gonna be balls out boss battle mode! :D

[Time Machine Adventure]

Kind of takes me back to my roots from 16bit Gaming!
The atmosphere it creates, the calming melody, and those LINES!
I can see what you meant by going back to your roots, I see what you "kinda" did there.
I really don't have anything to criticize in this piece. All I know is that it flows, its groovy, and brings a wave of nostalgic feels!
So much so that I would love to utilize it for a small future project outside of NG's.
**on that note, check your inbox \m/ **

johnfn responds:

Awesome :D

[The Daicoo System]

Dan dan dan dan...
What did you just create?...lets see here...
Something that reminds me of the good ole CONTRA button smashing days.
Has quite the 8bit feels going for it, and theres a hint of 16bit glory!

My my my...how my earbuds are tingling!

DanJohansen responds:

I've been dabbling in 8-16 bit synths, mixed with more modern synths, makes for a nice combination :D Glad you enjoyed it, good sir!

[[Blood Wight] Sign of the Blood Wight]

Charisma Roll for critical hit to the ear drums - 19!
This is a unique melody you got going here...and Frankly...I like it.

NOW!...
Challenge for you...someone off a particular social media app, is stringing together words in the form of music.

Lets do some Shredding to say.... (All Flat) C A B B A G E...
*coughs*
I await your response...muhahahaha

Burn7 responds:

~FEED A BAD DAD A DEAD CABBAGE~
~A BAGGAGE FACADE ADAGE~

(This took me seriously WAY too long to come up with)

[Sky Castle]

Properly channeled...
Excellent Rifts...
The melody...
(stares blankly into space, huge monstrous grin with a twinkle in the eyes)

DanJohansen responds:

Glad you enjoyed it man! \m/

[Crescent Moon Ritual]

Screams boss fight...
That is all.
:-D

DanJohansen responds:

BOSS FIIIIIIGHT!!!!

[Double Death - Punch a Bitch]

Xeno...
Honestly.
Newgrounds couldn't survive without your music! I hear a lot of inspiration from your OLDER pieces in this slice of jammery!
NOW!...when will you take the step to awesomeness and greatness that is OCR? You have a fan-base here, why not give it a go? You are literally unique with your creations, and they're 99% perfect! (*coughs* no one is 100%...not even top-dog artists)
~~Failure to Loop cost you 1%...LMAO! >=)~~
Keep gracing us with the shreds of glory!

Xenogenocide responds:

Thank you.

What do you mean when you say OCR?

[High Elf Lord]

From Start....To Finish...
Accomplishments reign supreme in the light of the Visionary!
Now, lets dig into your soul a bit.

The lead ~ spot on!
The drums ~ a tad weak in places, but!...it does add some spice!
The Vocals ~ kinda drowned out, but still very noticeable and that's what we the NG's like!
The Ambient Instruments ~ ...speechless!

I will say that this melody of yours has taken me back to the PS3 Classic White Knight Chronicles 1&2...you should know where I am going with that ;-)

Once again, graced with the All Inspiring DanJ beasts of YORE!

DanJohansen responds:

Glad ya dug it Shawn \m/ Epic write up as always, I actually made the orchestra standalone before I added metal to it, which was a fun different way to go about it :D Rock on man!! Happy New Year!
