RobinDB's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

["the attic"]

Interesting.

As far as titles, I came up with "Waiting for a War", "Mid-Space Hero", "The Attic", "End of a Legacy", "Faded Memories". Take your pick. :D
The song itself is kind of haunting, and not so much catchy as..... suspenseful. You want to listen to it almost like your watching a thriller, and you want to see what happens. I get so many different scenes and images in my head when I listen to this song, and I think it's because the instruments change so often. It changes from kind of dark and mysterious to space-age, to oriental, and sometimes war-esque. good work, anyhow. I liked it.

[p4c-Existentialism]

Excellent work.

I love this one. It's so smooth and, well, awesome. :D

Why can I not has the soundcloud version? :( I went to download it and i couldn't. I can download the one right below it, but that's it. I'd really like to get the higher-quality version, so is it up to you to let people download it from there? Or PM/email me the high quality version. Good work.

p4c responds:

yeah ill send you a link then :) its up to me but im trying to withhold it from giving free hq downloads bc it may get signed. but im glad you liked it :)

[Redwood's Furnace]

haha.

I'm gunna laugh hard if I see this is a Fireplace Store commercial. Some kind of pimped out furnace with spinners on the front gates, gold-plated, multi-colored flames. lol. Good song, it's catchy and very energetic.

SHADOWFOX2 responds:

LMAO no this isn't for any fireplace commercial...yet :]
Who knows these days though, some people take pride in their nice fireplaces
Now you can listen to this while talking about your nice fireplace
Haha just kidding but I'm glad you liked it and thanks for the review B]

[krachmaninoff-timetoleave]

Um...

Whoever was singing should never sing ever again. Other than that it was ok.

[Dreams {durn}]

Very smooth

Very nice. Most people think thatjust because it's the "dance" genre, it needs to be hyper and intense. But i think that musical genres are always a little more lenient than that. This is a nice relaxing track that can still get your feet tapping. I like the chord progressions as well as the melody. I'm diggin the rhythm and effects too. Overall, very good work.

durn responds:

Thanks Robin. Glad you got a chance to listen to this one. :) Tried expanding my trance-funk style a little more so that it didn't make em all sound alike. :D

[Our World {durn}]

You're very good.

But I've noticed that a lot of your songs sound the same. You need to come up with an entirely new beat and rhythm, a new sound. I'm not saying what you're doing is bad by any means, but I'm saying that if an artist can't keep it fresh, then he's gunna get stale. Good work on this though.

durn responds:

Don't you worry, Robin. I'm always trying new things. Just bought Record a few weeks ago and have been familiarizing myself with it so expect something fresh soon. :)

The new song's even in a different key than what I normally use! :O

Thanks for the listen and the honest opinion. :)

[Glowing Reaper--_--]

Incredible.

Good job turning the original Charlie's Chocolate Factory into a horror film. xD
Like others have said, the beginning of the song isn't all that and a bag of chips. But once you get to the end and you hear the vocal clip, you understand the song and it becomes awesome. Awesome work.

[A Glitch in the Frequency]

Nice work.

Before writing this I'd like to let you know I have 0 experience with any sort of music program. I can not help you with that aspect. What I can help you with is how to make it sound better. Now you say you're trying out a plugin for a glitch effect. Glitches can be a very cool effect in a song, but only when used correctly. It shouldn't make it sound like an actual glitch, but more like something that adds to the rhythm. A good example in this song is the effect at about 42 seconds. It sounds like the song is being warped, but it doesn't lose the beat and rhythm. A bad example is at around 50 seconds. It actually sounds like there's something wrong with the recording, and it kind of throws you off of the rhythm.
As for the song itself, good chord progression, I find it relaxing. Good work overall, just keep improving on your technique.

floccari responds:

That's really helpful, thanks for the review!

[Hypnose (NG Cut)]

Great work.

Most artists think that a great song is made by filling every possible moment with sound, to keep the ears busy. But a better technique is to provide breakdowns and skips to make the ear focus more, give it some change. Excellent work on this one. Like you said, it's a sick song. But you don't need to try in order to like this one. ;)
Good work.

[Newgrounds Chat]

"It aint easy, but it's fun."

"Like ur mom." "Fuck you." lol.

This is hilarious. Good work, I love the lyrics. Someone should make a flash video for this right away.
