Jimbobsthebest's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Saveset]

Good house

Good house tune man. It would be great to see you make it big! Have you tried www.beakpick.com? It may be worth composing a couple of songs to send to them.

Well done, James

dj-padman1 responds:

Hmm..haven't heard about that one, I must check it out!. Thanks for the lead, and I don't want to doubt you, but is it beatpick, not beakpick?
Wow, it would be great to be a little bit more succesful with music. Then I could probably feed and clothe myself at some basic level! :)
Thanks for another review, always a pleasure.

[DeathLense]

Wow, a techno squarepusher, good effort.

I really liked this piece and constantly enjoy the way you cut and slice your music. In my opinion I would have liked to have heard a repetative techno leading sound, just to carry you through the piece and give a main focus to be tranced around. But don't take that as a critism, just my opinion.

Really good effort, its starting to piss me off that your constantly voted so low. It seems to me that the popular and well known members of newgrounds get voted highly and people don't want to give other members a fair chance.

Anyway thats my little rant over, keep it up, keep composing.

James

[Restless Fade]

Smoooth...

This was really cool man. Really chilled and smooth. What i love about your music is that it shows a lot of versatility (spelling?).

I especially like the organ just chugging along and jamming. I really like what you've done here. I can tell you've spend a good amount of time on this piece. It's great the way it trances you in to it and then suddenly breaks and fucks up, still remaining in rhythm, and just cuts back. Very effective.

This sounds extremely professional and deserves a solid 5/5.

James

[.B.]

B... WHAT?

What the hell are you going on about? B...? WTF!!! I mean what is B meant to mea... Wait I get it now. I totally understand! B is the second letter of the alphabet and therefore resembles our second hand nature to society. 'B' is not only a letter, its a life style!

Sorry I doubted you.

mr-Ex-noob responds:

you just keep telling yourself that....

[Techno is awesome]

Wow... I mean wow!

Man this song was so good. Seriously man keep composing, one day you'll make it huge!

I always used to be in to Mozart and was very fond of such pieces composed Cage, but this...

10/10

Keep up the good work!

[_-=[Burning My Angel]=-_]

What story? Hmmm

I see a small village hospital with a young boy watching his mother die over her death bed after being attacked. When the snare rolls in and the bell ring. It's like this boy has now grown up and is set on his way to avenging his mothers death. I don't know but thats the image I got.

I really liked this piece, keep it up.

James

MaestroSorrow responds:

many thanks Jimbobsthebest. I plan to keep it up ^^.

Thanks for sharing the story the song gave you.

[Shadow Waltz]

This is why I dislike midi!

Prime example of how such beautiful music is distroyed by MIDI sounds. You have so much potential mate so i'm just pleased I could help you out with this one. It just sounds alot richer!

Good work, James

MusicalRocky responds:

Yes, it does. It sounds great. Thanks a lot. I am hoping to soon fix my midi dilemma (probably spelled that wrong).
Thanks again. And thanks for reviewing again.

[Sinking Point Unit]

Another wicked song!

Yeah this was good. Very good. Really interesting on the ear.

I see myself as a really harsh reviewer and like to give feedback in to what I would consider needing to change. But I really can't with this. You've impressed me again. I really hope this gives you exposure you need to perhaps make it big.

Good luck and well done. James

dj-padman1 responds:

Thanks James, I can always count on a review from you!

I was pretty lucky with this one that the 'fifth chord' progression that appears at the end fit so nicely.

But most importantly, please crank out some techno or drum and bass soon, I'm hanging out for it.

Later!

[Vile Conflict]

Just because I hardly ever give 10

This was seriously good man. I really enjoyed this. This sort of music could easily be professional. I don't really have anything to offer as comments or improvements, although maybe a vocal sample somewhere could make it interesting but its your call.

You have some serious talent mate and I look forward to hearing more from you in the future.

Good Effort, James

dj-padman1 responds:

Originally I did some yodelling/gangster rap across this track but my 'dawgs' weren't 'feelin' me' so I scrapped that version.

Seriously, thanks for your encouragement Jimbob, I trust your judgement so really, don't hesitate to pounce on absolutely anything thats rubs you the wrong way.

Good luck with your tracks :)

[Famine]

Very good piece.

Yeah, I really liked this. I can't really imagine people rapping over this, but I can deffinatly see it being used as a sound track in a film.

The only suggestions I could offer is that you seemed to have added an extra bass drum somewhere along the line and it distortes quite a bit. I'd probably change the snare sound aswell, maybe to a longer and lower sounding snare. But these are only changes i'd probably make. Really good effort mate!

WAR-H3AD responds:

ye i did distort the bass and my saved project got fucked after i exported it so i never really hadda chance to go back n fix it. ty for the review.
