Jimbobsthebest's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[{Hollow Man} Preview]

Superb

Awesome tune man. Wish I could write drum and bass this good. Seriously man, this was really good. Looking forward to a full version if ones coming out. I DJ drum and bass in England and would love to slam this on in a club if there was a full version. 5/5 straight off. The only reason for a 9 was because its just a preview.

Good work mate, very well produced. I am exteremly jealous!

cornandbeans responds:

Thanks man. It's an honor that you would play my stuff. ;)

I spent about 6 hours straight working on this... so I thought I'd throw it out there for some suggestions. I'll probably finish the full version next week. It's probably gonna be big, so I might not be able to fit anything higher than 92kbits on NG.. pm me your email and I'll send you the high quality version once its done. ;)

Thanks again!

Wasn't expecting that

I like this piece. Can't help but think Dr. REX and matrix in reason... am I right? Sounds good, got a good dark element in there which I always like. Wasn't expecting the keyboard part, was a nice surprise. You asked for a review, so review I did.

Feel free to review any of my stuff ,although theres no obligation ;)

Good Work

[Peacemaker-Fail]

Good tune mate.

Nice catchy riff, you also manage to get a really thick sound which is always good. Keep up the good work.

pallmanni responds:

well the thick sound is just the layer after layer or really annoying reverbs that somehow manage to make good sounds when put together...

[Duet no. 1 - III. Presto]

Wow Rocky, wasn't expecting this.

First things first, you have improved a great deal since I was last on newgrounds. This is a really nice piece, very energetic and some great melodies here. I felt you used the velocities to your advantage aswell. Really great work man, no critisms this time round.

You know how stingy I am with rating, but don't take it to heart, I was really really impressed.

Take it easy man.

MusicalRocky responds:

Hey man nice to see you around again. I'm glad I've improved, I try to do that haha. Energetic was really one of my main goals here. It is the finale of a long (not really) duet; I needed it to have some fire, even more fire than the first and second mvnts. By velocities I guess you mean tempi? I tried to use the tempi to give the piece some movement. No criticisms? Wow, I must've done a really good job haha. Don't worry about the rating, I don't mind at all; in fact, that's a good score to me.

I'm glad you enjoyed this man. That makes me really happy.

Take care,
Rocky

[Death of the spaceboy]

Good so far...

I like this man, its intense and interesting. Good use of different sounds. I was a little disapointed when I didn't hear that heavy kick drum break in, but thats the way it goes. Take it easy man, keep composing.

[Hard Techno Loop]

Good loop, Wheres the song?

I like this loop man, although its a shame you havn't expanded it in to a song. Although that said, if its meant for flash games etc thats probably all you were going for. Bit cheesy for my liking although thats just my opinion. Bit messy with that snare type sound in places. Keep up the work mate.

[EM-drum an bass number1]

Drum and Bass?

Maybe not the right classification of song, but not bad at the same time. Probably would have classed this as minimal electro or something, but still probably wouldn't fit that criteria. I liked this and was actually pretty surprised. Once I noticed that you hadn't written many songs, I though this was gonna be pretty awful. Nevertheless you proved me wrong. Sounds very drug influenced (not implying that you actually take drugs) which I like as it gave this piece a bit of a twisted edge. This is something that deffinatly needs to progress.

On a bit of a down point, I though this was a little empty. Probably would have tried to bulk it out a little more just to give it that extra thickness.

Anyway good introduction to a work in progress, keep working and good luck!

[Forgotten?]

Maybe a bit too diverse?

You have a lot of nice licks here which could easly be songs of their own. I think the main problem with this song is the fact that it really doesn't flow. The parts you have sound pretty good but its hard to get in to as the melody keeps changing. Keep up composing man, but try not to rush.

Good luck in the future.

[Jackie Chan music]

Not my favourite piece but ok

You had a good idea here, but it didn't really seem to develope. I recon dropping a really heavy beat somewhere would make this piece pretty good. Keep composing,

James

[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...
