FlashtooREV's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Big Red - The Animator]

- Review On Request -

It's a very original idea to rap about animating, or actually about an animator. This could actually be used as the script for a movie, or a Newgrounds animation.

The voice is really suitable for rapping. It was a bit like a "gangsta" voice, it could almost be compared with Eminem's voice. A bit more feeling could be thrown in, though. It was quite boring to listen to a monotone voice for almost four minutes, but that does give the listener more time to consider and listen to what you're actually saying, the lyrics. The voice got a bit slow at times, though. Sometimes it didn't really match the beat.

The beat was cool, but got really lame after about 20 seconds. Try and variate the beat a bit more!

Overall

A very cool rap with a message that's worth tons of gold. The beat was good, but got repetitive really quickly, as did the voice. The voice was a bit out of sync with the beat, was really good on itself, but throw some more feeling in there.

Good message, but a lot could be improved on the rap itself.

[[DN] Summer Sunshine]

- Review on Request -

Nice summer feel here!
For some reason, I tend to link relatively high, short sounds to the summer.

It has a slow start, not to push the listener right into the hot action. Nice, stable song. The first 50 seconds were slow, in comparison to the rest of the song, but it sort of radiates a pool mood at the beginning, then slowly gets more active.
At 0:51, the dancing part really breaks through, a beach/pool party. Nice and happy, creates a positive atmosphere, gives me energy, makes me want to dance the energy out of me!

I think 0:50 - 1:16 could've had a bit more bass in it, though. It lacked that essential structure, in my opinion, a sound as loud as a soft tap on the knee would suffice.

Then for a while, after 1:16, some more bass jumps in, but it's still too high pitched.

Then from 1:42 to 2:43 there's a break, which is fine, and after that, a nice beat moves in there. That beat's what I missed around 1:00.

At around 3:00, the energy slowly flows away and the tune there's still awesome.

Overall:

Awesome song, gave me energy and really had that summer feel. I missed bass sometimes, though.

DanceNation responds:

:P well, yea im having my share of problems with the bass, *sigh*... but glad you liked it overall :)

[Soar Away]

Sweet.

This was good, but could've been alot. Like you said, 0:00-0:12 is quite odd, but it's quite the same as the middle riff? 0:14-0:20 couldn't have been any better.
It also got a bit repetitive.

Short, but hopefully helpful.

[Zelda: Windmill]

Writing this review as I listen...

...for the sixth time.
Love the fute part at around 0:50, it has the original feel to it. I cannot say anything negative on this one. With other songs I would've told you to put more bass in it, but it's more like it was in Zelda this way.
Couldn't give you a ten because it's not your own tune, but an altered remake.

Soundshifter responds:

I understand. Thanks :)

[Minuet in G Minor [Remix]]

Awesome!

I really recognised the Efteling tune in this, which I've heard many, many times while in queue for the Python ;)
I didn't know it was that long? I liked it, but after a while it got pretty boring, no real changes, mostly repeats.

Go make it more interesting to keep listening to.

UnrealReno responds:

Thanks for the comment :)

Yeah, it does get repetitive after a while, that is bad :( Though, I couldn't think of anything original yet, but when I get some inspiration I might throw out a Version 2 ;)

I'll let you know whenever that happens!

[Final Countdown (DnB Remix)]

Sounds great.

I love the original "Final Countdown" and this just is very alike (I wonder why that is ;)). Some more bass at the last 5 secs would've been better, though.
