RobinDB's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[NightlifeDL]

Interesting

This is unlike most house songs I've heard before on NG. I love that fact that you didn't have it repeat the same beat and melody the whole time like most other artists do. There seems to be something new in every section of the song, but it all flows together, nothing sounds out of place. Keep at it, you're doing an extraordinary job of it.

I recently made a mix CD of some house from NG. I wish I had found this track before I made it. >.<

[Denn-C - Canon in D (WiP)]

In my honest opinion...

The original starts out slowly and gradually builds. What you did here was start off with a beat that made no sense to me, and didn't actually get to the song you were remixing until after the first minute. I say get rid of the intro and the little effects, and just basically make a synth pad version of Canon in D. I just don't think this remix does the song justice. Also, make it a bit slower. You have it at what, a little over 120 beats per minute? Make that about 100 beats per minute, it would be better.

Good work though. All that above is my own opinion I guess.

Denn-C responds:

Yeah it is haha, it's called HOUSE, not hiphop, the beat is an intro beat.. but this shit is out of date, so w/e..

thanks anyway:P

[Feels Like Meh (NG Cut)]

Excellent.

The only problem I see is that about the 16th or 17th time it repeats through, it gets just a tad bit repetitive and annoying. Perhaps a bit more variety?Other than that, this is a beautiful ambient/house song, and I love it. Great work, keep it up.

----In the years since writing this, every time this song comes up in a playlist I love listening to it. 5/5, forget what I said about it being too repeptitive lol

[Hipster's Halloween]

Awesome..... except....

The song is all great. The download button was cowering in fear as my mouse lurked above it, ready to strike... but then I heard the ending. I'm totally anal about the ending on house songs, and this is no exception. You can't just abruptly end the song like that, it has to have some kind of closure.

But the rest of the song is amazing. I would totally love it, if it weren't for that one little problem.

SHADOWFOX2 responds:

Thanks for the criticism :]
When I made the non-animation version, I had to come up with an ending.
Simply put, I made it so that it would loop well, and having a definite ending would crush that.
Most house songs have abrupt endings fading out, echoing, or both with no percussion, but I'm not sure what your idea of closure is.
I'll definitely take it into account for the future
Thanks for your thoughts though!

[~Zeldas Lullaby Piano~]

Meh...

I'm a big fan of Zelda, but this was rly dissappointing. Several skipped beats, and you didn't do anything with it. It sounds lyk you spent an hour making this. Put some work into it, don't post it unless you're truly proud of your work.

asiangamer1029 responds:

and dont post reviews if you have a large cock up your ass and your a fucking ass hole :D :D

[Zelda:ALttP - Dark World]

Very nice

Very good, always love the Zelda music. Keep it up!! :D

SockpuppetRemix responds:

Thanks! =D

[SWITCHBLADE]

Incredible

This song is great. It's always nice to hear a song on NG with lyrics. It's very catchy too, l can't seem to get it out of my head. Great use of brass in there too.

[Awesome (joshhunsaker)]

very nice

lol, Z-Rox has given u so much publicity. U may have noticed l took away one star. That my friend, is due to the fact that this song is way too short. U should make a longer version, hey, y not even a remix? But l like this song, very nice.

SuperGoodSound responds:

yeah, it sure has been the reason for a lot of my popularity lately. I don't mind that at all.

remix...yeah - that would be.....awesome.

[Winterbliss]

Great work

The phrasing, the dynamics, the melody.....everything is AWESOME.
Although l must say, its not really an orchestral piece with only strings, you would need brass and woodwind and percussion...
But it's still great. SmAcK onto my favs! :D

[sun+moon+stars]

Soothing

l wouldn't really call it romantic, more lyk relaxing. Now about wat the reviewer Yamalazoo88 said. He obviously is tone-deaf. Now l lyk sum techno music, but u can have half a brain and still make a techno song. It takes talent, experience, practice, emotion, and a hell of a good ear to be able to make songs lyk this. With techno, its just, BASS BASS BASS BASS *high-pitched-melody* BASS BASS BASS.....
The kind of song u have here is a fine example of wat real music is all about:
EMOTION. EXPRESSION. So next time you want to give sum1 advice about their songs Yamalazoo88, take a good long look in the mirror, and tell yourself:
"I have no talent, therefore no right to say anything negative."
