Jimbobsthebest's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Manic Forfeit]

Padman's Fucking Sound!

I think your the only person I know who had created their own complete style of music and manage to have such variation in it!

Constently impressed dj_padman1, keep up the good work.

James

P.S yeah i did mean www.beatpick.com

dj-padman1 responds:

Thanks again for another review Jimbob, I'm happy that a few people like it at least.
I thought it would be a little bit more succesful though, it's taken a right old battering in the ratings. Oh well, thats newgrounds for you.

Thanks for your high compliment about my own unique style, I'm flattered! Although a few of the glitches at the end are a bit aimless when I listen back to them. I'm working on some fresh tricks. They should be unleashed soon.

Thanks again for the review, always appreciated :P

P.S I checked out beatpick, and i probably need to listen to a bit more from them, but what I did hear was kind of worse than newgrounds. But I shouldn't be so hasty, it's just the initial vibe I got.
So much the better anyway, because I'll sound awesome in comparison, lol...

[Unreformed]

Minimal, but I like it.

I think for me one of the key parts to techno is the intense build up and climax, which I don't think this particually had. Although I do appreciate that this is blatently meant to be a progressive minimal piece.

I'd personally like to hear this completely drugged up to listen to how I think it needs to be listen to.

I like what you've done here man... different, but very cool!

Cheers for another tune!

James

[The Rev Song]

Didn't work?!?!

I don't know whether it was just my computer (if so sorry for voting 0) but this didn't seem to work!

BlueGasMask responds:

it must be your computer, i downloaded it, and it worked. sorry it didn't work for you.

[Brutal Fuck-Death (Vocals)]

Not too sure about the vocal...

Its a nice track man, I like! But i'm not too sure about the vocals, they seem a bit... i don't know... struggled. I like the part with the overlayed higher scream. Don't get me wrong, good screaming vocals are hard to preform, but I felt the vocals here could have just done with a little more roar.

Nice piece man, you create a decent sound.

James

GoreBastard responds:

Cheers mate. Yeah after listening to it a few more times myself, I know what people mean about the vocals. They do sound a bit shit on this one don't they. I can do better, I must have been ill or something, plus my mic sucks balls, so the quality is crap too.
I think the best song I've done with vocals was "Killed Again". For some reason my vocals actually sounded quite good on that one, but I havn't been able to capture that sound again. I suck!

Cheers for checking it out mate!

[Hitler hacks LINUX (5:33)]

10/10... I never give 10/10!

This is a wicked tune man. I like what you did with all aspects of this piece. You've deffinatly got a lot of talent. I'm loving what you've done with the organ, so funky.

This really is worthy of 10/10!

Good Effort,

James

WinTang responds:

Cheers man! Thanks for your kind words and ratings!

[Monkey Island RMX]

Yeah was kinda cool

I'm not really sure what to offer as a critisism but i'd probably say it sounded a little weak in the middle. It never probably climaxed. If you maybe added a hi-hat part of something that could help.

I really liked the beginning build up, pretty technoy, but i personally though it lost a bit of interest afterwards.

Over all a nice effort.

James

Mrxtreem85 responds:

Thank you for you oppinion. I did'nt really like the ending myself (i admit, i got lazy =P). I'll try harder in getting some "climax" in my next sub or in the remaster of this 1.
Best regards

[Night Terror]

Good tune!

If i'm honest, i'm not a great fan of the hi-hat at the biggening of the tune. But it seems to work much better with the whole beat.

This song was very exciting. I'm trying to critisise your work as to generally help you out a bit, but I really can't. Maybe song dark vocals over the top could work.

Great tune, keep composing,

James

dj-padman1 responds:

You know, as soon as I heard this track playing on Newgrounds, I know I had made a serious boo-boo with that hat! I'm a seriously slow learner, it's not funny :P
If you think it's exciting, I'm pretty stoked! And I'll definately be doing some vocal experimentation in the near future.
Thanks again for another most welcome review.

[Repulser]

Repulser, ha ha!

Its dark, sick and twisted... I love it!

[Roughneck]

This is cool

If im honest, this isn't my favourtie of all your work as I found it a little messy in places, but that doesn't mean its still not better than most of the shit churned out on newgrounds.

A little message to the last reviewer RyeGuyHead, don't be shallow-minded enough to confuse opinion with critisism. It is not fair at all to vote low because you simply 'don't like the style'. Try if you will to see outside of the box and listen to how well it works or doesn't work musically. Just remember it is easy to sit here and complain, but have you ever though it would probably be much more constructive to some up the strong and weak points musically rather then destroy it verbally because you 'don't like it'. Just a thought.

Well done padman, another tune

James

[Chaos Beast]

TUNE!

Wicked tune man. But your right, it can't be good because it isn't numa numa or whatever the hell its called.

Really well put together, and well mixed. I've probably asked before but software do you use? I just wish I could compose stuff like this, as it is completely what i'm into.

Thanks for another awesome tune!

James

dj-padman1 responds:

We all missed you during your absence Jimbob!
This was done in Ableton Live, and I reckon you'd have a blast with it. You haven't lived till you've tried Live's timstretching and automation of clips, I'm telling you...grab the demo someday, it's pretty much fully functional.
Thanks for taking the time to listen and review, I appreciate it greatly :)
