JustShawn's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[BigK: NGF11 WirelessMoonw]

THAT! was AWESOME!

When my friends got me to watch that shit...I puked for about 5 minutes!
Egh...

Great script dude.

biggiek7888 responds:

It doesn't help when you've had a little too much to drink, and you're deceived into watching that travesty...cause once you see it....you can't unsee it....

Still, thank you for the kinds words, much appreciated!

[Treviabot92 - Dedede's Th]

Ear Scratching Melody Right Here!

Makes your ear drums itch and tickle.
THAT is a GREAT thing when it comes to classic 8 bit game tunes being taken to a whole new level. I enjoyed this piece and YES! the guitars BOTH sounded excellent!
Maybe a few added high points of your own creation would make this a true piece to remember and download. You do the original justice, but hey...im always looking for great talent to critique and give ideas to.

That is all

Treviabot92-Virstein responds:

You haven't listened to King Dedede's War yet. Same .flp used, but that one's extended.

Thanks for the review!

[The Final Attempt - The Place]

Wrong Catagory, but F#$%'n awesome piece!

Should fall into rock, but I guess with the screaming lyrics, would make it metal.
However, you should strengthen your lead and bass for a larger, more broad scale metal feel.

That is all

KhaahM responds:

Wise words amigo, very constructive and to the point.
Couldnt agree more, but until newgrounds adds more genres I will continue my endless struggle to categorize my music.
+1

[- [B-SIDE] - Terra Nova]

Sky Shark Returns!...oh wait...

This isn't a Sky Shark revision ^_^
Regardless, it takes me back to the times I would bust out the nes just to have a challenge. If you were to play this game on an emulator, you would see where my comparison comes into play. You have done such a great job with this piece, and I do agree with Luxomni. The percussion and bass do "muff" it up just a bit, but that is what I feel makes this an original piece! Props to you!

MashedByMachines responds:

Thanks, I will check out the game you mentioned :D

[Dance of the Spirits]

Clipping is noticed, and the volume...

Drop your gain just a bit, and decrease the volume by 8% and you should have a perfect piece. Alas, adding a few random sound effects (if allowed) would suit this piece perfectly :)

OcularNebula responds:

Thank you for the review!

yeah, I've heard complaints about clipping, but this is an old track, and I'm not too interested in modifying it. this track could be a lot better with proper editing, but I choose not to look back, and if there's anything to learn from this, I will apply it in my new works!

[Demon King Bowser]

Needs hidden Star Power!

Brings me back, and makes me wonder about the mythical 121st star that was rumored to be the most difficult star to get! (of course, its just a myth...and a glitch in the 1st edition of the games release...on some cartridges)

How I want to jump on my Wii and toss bowser around like a noob that he is :D
Nothing to critique about this piece. It fits the Bowser mood soo well :)

Shanath responds:

Fighting Bowser is always a lot of fun. Glad you enjoyed it!

[Geno's Maze (Frost Version)]

Another Geno Mix?! EPICNESS!

The change up at 0:52 @_o Put me into a sexy trance!
There is not much more to say about this except you did a fantastic job! Lyrics would go great with this revision. I hope to hear this again with some beast lyrics.

DiroNomer responds:

I never planned to include lyrics on this version as I don't think it would sound right. But hey what do I know, maybe it does! Anyways, thanks for the comment.

[XS - Awaken]

5/5 9/10

Great track! Love the feel and the hype feeling it gave me and my wife.
Truly a masterpiece.
Nothing more could be said, but maybe adding a snare in certain points would make it all the better :)

Jimmypig responds:

Thanks for the listen! I'm glad you and your wife both enjoyed it :)

[|-Revelations-|]

Not a big fan of A.C, but...

This track in its own accord sound great. The melody repeats a bit more then what would do it justice, but the swing around 2:30 gives it a genuine feel. The snare does sound pretty decent, and the bass output on my speakers made my windows rattle :D If you could maybe add some random sound effects to your next remake of this, to do justice to A.C itself, I am pretty certain you would have a lot more downloads then what you already do currently.

9/10 4/5
Keep it up dude!

O-Prime125 responds:

Appreciate the review, my next beat for sure will have greater use of effects and will have more of a variation in the melody. :)

[JNR - For What It's Worth]

@_O

Now...this was for sure worth the listen.
If you were to play some of your favorite RPG games with this going in the background...Im certain it would fit the atmosphere. I would love to see this used in a flash for that instant moment of agony and anguish.

Love the beat, the drop off however at the beginning could be replaces by an uprising tempo or repetition of a bass drum or even a thunder roll.

If you were to give this track some thunder rolls through out even, would make for the most prodigal piece worth the listen over and over again!

From 2:30 - 2:41 the uprising is a good catch, add a distant crack of lightning if possible....and you will have it made!

-Respect, downloaded-

J-N-R responds:

Thank you! I like your suggestions.
