Gimmick's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Rusted Toys]

Goddamn this song is great. It has a wonderfully calm, yet epic feel like the beginning of TF2's The Calm soundtrack, but continues on for another 4 minutes :)

(Side note, there's no reason to get pissed of at the PAS maker for including this song in it, because 1, I - along with likely a lot other people - got to know about it only because it was featured in it, 2, it's noncommercial and 3, it's been removed now IIRC)

[E. M. F. Z.]

Nice

I found this song a little silly, like you said, but at the same time nice to listen to. However, there were a few problems I found with this. I'll elaborate later.

The intro is a little robotic, which I like, but I find that it's a bit long (0:00 to 0:30) to just actually get to the main part. Normally I find around 10 seconds are just about enough, but only under certain circumstances can they extend over to 20 or 30 seconds.

The rest of the song from (0:30 to 1:40) is a little medium-paced, which sets the stage for the chorus which is some instruments playing repeatedly, but not in an order that makes it repetitive. Good job.

The part where your voice came in which was tweaked, I hope (!) was a little creepy to me the first time I listened to it. The next time I listened to it it reminded me of a monster baby's voice, which was a bit weird but strangely fit in this audio piece.

I liked the extro a bit more, because this time instruments weren't repeated, but fresh new ones were added into the mix, some others muted, and the last part faded. I would've liked it if it was looping, though, since the fade out part was the only thing I had a slight "problem" with.

All in all, a good piece of music worth listening to for 4 minutes and 40 seconds.

~~ Summary ~~

~~ Good points ~~
1) Repeated instruments, but not repetitive
2) Nice to listen to
3) Interesting mix of voice

~~ Bad points ~~
1) Long intro

Thanks for the review and the nice words!

Long intro is a very good point. I don't know about the length in seconds, but cutting in in half is a good idea.
Of course, my voice was tweaked. I more thought of it like a dwarven trio, but monster baby's good too :) My real voice can be heard in my "B.O.B." submission.
I'm against the looping of the extro, because it peaks in the end and I want it to stop there. But I could probably exchange the fadeout ending for ... I don't know, a weird syncoped chord or something.

Thanks!! *hug*

Nice

I can listen to this all day.

Sabrewyng responds:

Thanks man!

[COH - Menu Music]

Not bad

While the music in itself as a whole was good, the first part from 0:00 to 0:44 was a bit repetitive, however I DID listen to the whole thing, and yes, after 45 seconds had passed the repetitiveness leveled itself out, and played smoothly...kinda like a creaky radio that takes some time to warm up, and later it's as smooth as an oiled engine.

Not bad, not bad. An 8/10 and a 4/5 from me.

Ironclover responds:

Thank you, but the repetitive part happens to be a Thundersnare, used for the ambient part. but I'm glad you like it :)

[Dot Dot Dot]

Hahaha

I lol'd at this -- like any other person!
Keep up the good work.

[We Dream of Booty! :D ~P~]

Nice

Nice. I hang around in the game just to continue listening to it, especially for the opening part.

P.S I just "got" FL Studio 9 and I'm even making an fl studio remake as I'm writing. Credit goes to you though :)

[You'll Never Guess This! ~P~]

Niiice

I have two words to say: Truly epic.

P.S: Please DO correct me if I'm wrong, but some of the background noises are not audible in EBF3, whereas it's audible here. Is it because of the compression involved in the flash game?

[Wings ~P~]

wonderful

The flute theme goes well with the drums, and it truly felt like a battle theme, except it's one of those themes where you know it's a bit easy, and motivates you to win in the beginning, and later explodes into fast-paced music, then slows down, emphasizing on the drums, later begines with the flutes again and goes on...
One word: Respect, 5/5 (could've given 10/5 xP)
Oh yeah, I was writing this review while listening to it.

[All your base- hiphop loop ver]

Ugh

Most of the time, I couldn't even hear the "all your base are belong to us". I had to strain my ears to hear it. And, don't disgrace music, puhh-leeeeze!

Suggestions:
Make the voice louder.
Pitch and speed ++
Don't make people vomit after hearing this.

[Rina-chan / Kagome's Demo Reel]

Awsome

Great voice acting!!!
