JustShawn's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[KKS - Bone Grinding]

*eats some popcorn while listening*
SOAD? Korn?

What? No way. Just another head banger's melody to get the blood pumping before a Pantera concert >=)

WHAT?! Im old skool like that.
Mastering does need a bit of work, but I enjoyed it none the less.

Keep at it, You'll get it :D

KKSlider60 responds:

Hah, groovy tastes. I like that. \m/
You know what? I think Phil Anselmo would sing on this.
KKS

[champion battle Blue]

Crazy mix-up. In fact, I like it.
Capture's that feel when you VERY first encounter the champion and your like OH S@#$!
I do have a suggestion, consider lowering the volume some.

Reason: at 15% volume, my headset red-line's. Maybe a reduction of volume by 20% will be sufficient.

jojoBiBop responds:

Hey i didn't thought of that! thank you and thank you for your kind words.

[Let's play LOL (preview)]

Sounds like something you could use for an advertisement with multiple clips of the actual montage/game itself. Just has that kind of feel + hype to it.

Not bad for an unfinished product, not bad at all.

Nervousnoob responds:

Thank you so much good sir!

[Nameless]

Hey! YOU! Yes you! *points* C'mere ghecko...
*grabs and throws into a room filled with nothing but speakers with your track on repeat*

I have one general question for you...Do you really think this piece fits into the metal category? I don't.
You should move it to the rock section, as it's not heavy enough to be here in the metal section. Sure, the lead sounds metal, as do the drums, but the tempo is too slow, and the feel isn't "metal".

Sorry to disappoint you.
Still a nice listen though.

Ghecko responds:

So there's no slow tempo metal out there then huh. Well anyway, I honestly think it's too heavy to be general rock. I think you'd say it isn't metal because of really the second half of the song which I agree is more melodic. I mean it's not aggressive or heavy in tone as say Pantera but I still think it has one foot in the genre at least.

though, after a year of thinking about it now... you may just be right. Butt fuck it, I think the metal section is more popular for it.

thanks for the feedback.

[Monument of Non-Existence]

*drools as he is lost in nothingness*

Is that good enough for you?!
It F^@#in' better be! \m/

Lashmush responds:

That will suffice.

[Chaos Confined (Metroid)]

1st Request: EXTEND THIS BEAST!
2nd Request: MAKE MOAR! I mean, More!
3rd Request: Uh...I cant think of one!

Loved it, made me feel as if I had walked into something soo dark and mysterious that I never want to leave! You guys should literally sell your music as is, I mean c'mon, there are tons of people that love just the melodies alone, as we all know some vocals just kill the piece.

Your work on the other hand, I doubt the vocals will kill this track.
5/5 10/10

MetalRenard responds:

Wow thanks!
In fact, the album with vocals including for this song will be out VERY soon so keep a look out for it! :D

Thanks again!!

[Undesirable Effect]

Killingyoutwice hit the nail on the head and smashed it into the wood with his/her review!
The organs are a little under-powered and not used to their full potential, but while the rest of the track diminishes that defect overall, everything else fits together perfectly and gives off that ambient feel of being NO WHERE but in Gamer's Land.

With that said, you can expect me to be looking forward to your next piece! Keep at it, and bring forth the awesomeness that we deem Video Gamer's Greatness!!!!!!!!!!

10/10 5/5!

bassfiddlejones responds:

Thank you so much for the review! :) I hope to keep some more coming!

[Scream Your Serenades]

The element of surprise at your fingertips...
The button of destruction taunts you...
The acidic rain gets ready to fall...

What would have made this epic track even more epic would have been a looping structure.
While you piece is literally flawless, its a bit repetitive. If that was your overall intention here, you did a good job, but a lot of people prefer to hear something utterly unique and that brings back a general feel of nostalgia ^_^

You sir, have talent and I look forward to more of your work!

RichardBatchelor responds:

Thankyou dude, theres plenty more to come, I'm only just getting started :)

[Chaos Becomes You WIP]

Violence! Chaos! CARNAGE! DESTRUCTION! SLAUGHTER!

Oh, sorry. It was putting me in a mood to rampage in CoD >=)

RiverK responds:

May this tune fuel your killing sprees!

[bORDERS (Olskool Mix)]

Very nice indeed! They turned out pretty damn good, and that says alot for a retro mix as you call it :)
Feels more like a monotone/8-bit chiptune mix really.

Still, just a brilliant piece, but with one minor flaw...
I wish it looped...woulda fit perfectly in my collection of awesome remixes. Still a great piece to behold by ear :D

akiTONE responds:

Glad to hear you enjoyed it!

I have the original instrumental mix of bORDERS available here on Newgrounds if you'd like to give it a listen.
