ShortMonkey's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[<TheMayo>HiScore]

Needs Bass

Ok, well, the tune was ok but definitely needed bass - it just sounds too happy and light to dance to without it. I think this would suit better in a NES video game than a dance club. Overall, good work but remember to add bass next time! :D

TheMayo responds:

i really dnt have good enough speakers to work on bass with
but I'm working on it

[Circle of Flight]

Awesome

Well, I must admit, this is a great song. The drums were done real well along with the tune. I think you had the drums do the build up too many times though. I think twice is a good amount. Overall, excellent song and downloaded.

WritersBlock responds:

Thanks for the review! Yeah, I just had that snare build up on loop. Probably not the best choice I made for the song, but I do really like the effect of the build up on its own. Maybe I was hoping it wasn't going to be too noticeable. Thanks. :D

[Rig - Lochieloop]

Hot

Pants are wet.

Rig responds:

Gross.

Cheesy

Very cheesy. Beat was ok. Piano playing was pretty good and that slayer, YUCK, the slayer ruined a lot of the song.

[Distant Chaos]

Not too bad

First off, it took way too long for it to get to the real part of the song. Drums were good, guitar was good but could've been better. Very fast too.

jdh504 responds:

Thanks for the review! Yeah, most of my songs take forever to really get started, and this is somewhat short compared to my other songs. I'll take what you said to mind though, I appreciate the criticism!

[Xyirx - From Darkness to]

Could be better

I liked the beat and the piano but the rest was just like random noises. Still, it was pretty good. Good work. =D

Xyirx responds:

I agree on the random noises, but they're just SFXs which make the song techno-ey. Anyway, thank you for your review. Enjoy listening.

Repetitive

Extremely repetitive. The tune you had here would've been great for a beginning of a song but just didn't work to have that same slow tune for 3 minutes. The beat was good and the trance bass was good but just was replayed too many times. I was expecting it to burst into some real good fast paced music or at least to blast into something different for some variety. Way too repetitive, trance bass was played well but just got boring.

If you're going to submit something this repetitive, just make into a 40 second loop instead of a whole song.

[Masta of Raps--REMIX]

Nah

Not good at all. The beat was ok but extremely simple - typical hip-hop beat. The vocals were terrible. Bad quality. I couldn't understand a single thing you said. Sounds pretty effortless to me so I can only give you a 3, sorry.

[Power Down (Megaman)]

Pretty good

Pretty cool song. The tune did sound a bit irritating at times though. Good beat though.

[After Chaos]

Great

First off, this isn't heavy metal at all, I'd put it in General Rock. Now, nice slow song you made. I really enjoyed it (even though it's extremely short). It reminds me of a Chicago song but the same part replaying over and over again. And did you use Mixcraft and the distortion or feedback guitar? Overall, great work, loved it!
