Neophyte-Ronin's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Cafe in the Sky]

Why Isn't There a Review Here?

Kor-Rune has managed to improve his voice over the years when he first began singing, although I still miss the days when he did those dark progressive instrumentals with nerve-wracking solos and Hendrix-esque flair. Those often get overlooked, and he did revisions to practically all of them. However, his coolest strength is his preference not to become overwhelming with harshness and gathers a fluid expertise with acoustic numbers.

This is one of them. "Cafe in the Sky" is filled with a passionate aesthetic and otherworldly sound, although the singing could be a little more spirited. It does experiment with loud, high notes, which suggest that this is just a demonstration of where Kor-Rune wants to bring the final recording. The lyrics are wonderful, tinged with a bit of irreverent humor about the Robert Frost-inspired theme. The profanity can be replaced with something else and this could become a folk-rock song you hear on PNR radio stations specializing in jazz and folk. It's that good.

It's sick and sad that nobody has seen or heard this guy, but let's hope that some minor promoting and word-of-mouth can remedy that soon!

Kor-Rune responds:

Your reviews are artistic within themselves. Thanks, man! XD

[Class Project Movie Theme]

First Guess: CSI Lab Montage; Second: Dark Cinema

My guess: Crime Scene Investigation. You know, the scenes where they demonstrate/hammer-into-our-skulls the police procedural aspect of the episode. By that I mean they use the gadgets and special care needed to collect evidence from the crime scene or process them at the forensic laboratory. The music during these montages consists of a simple synth/R&B with an emphasis upon the beat and bass, like Drum'n'Bass without the excessively high tempo. Since we're going toward film cinema with the project, I would make film noir or dark cinematic crime drama as my second guess.

In itself, the theme is practical and polished enough for use in a Newgrounds submission, or even a professional film.

Father-of-Death responds:

crime scene investigation is right man!!! good job. I guess I did well then.

[V-Metaljonus]

Is That for VENDETTA?

Music Video based on the original serial/graphic novel. What do you think?

Metaljonus responds:

V means 5 am lol but I like the idea.

[Draco Meteor Release!]

Power Glam

Sounds like a track from an Anime sci-fi action epic. And I don't mean that as an insult. When the lead solo kicked in for this track, I realized that it fits as a character theme, or a battle theme for an action/role-play adventure game.

Observing your catalog has given me insight that you enjoy the power metal persuasion. I only advise you continue to release tracks, since your body of work, while extraordinary, is lacking in tracks over here at NG.

[It's Still Fucking Tuesday]

Not Enough Time for Drinking

LOL

Easy Listening for me. It's off, and it's a Tuesday.

Shit. With all your complaining about Tuesdays, ever wonder if you could do a spoof cover of Rebecca Black's "Friday"?

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Yah, this was in "easy listening", some cock PM'd me pointing that out.
Wha'd he want...a cookie?

Technically it can be easy listening because the fat bastard was sittin in a chair in his mommy's basement with headphones on. Nothing hard about that, unless the fat cunt labors over his own breathing. haha.

Thanks man.

[Bad Man & Sons]

Nothing Bad About This

How cute!

This is actually pretty neat on the side; it isn't just great for sentimental value, but it can actually work as like a closing/credits theme. So it's a double-win.

Happy Birthday, Bad-Man. Don't worry, I won't inquire about your age. :)

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Good idea man.
Thanks for the review. Don't worry about inquiring about my age, I don't keep it a secret. Age means nothing to me anyways. :)

[Purple Dragons Ate My Kids]

A Black Unicorn Slept With My Sister

Typical... coming from one of the sick fuckers behind the "Be Sprited" series, it's no secret that this is just satire. Good satire, since it's technically proficient in instrumentation (except the cheesy explosive grunt vocals), but telegraphs its reality with the band name and its chosen genre.

I would ask for a lyric sheet, but I'm afraid that you lost it (or you were intoxicated at the time).

CyprusX responds:

For a moment there I thought you would burn me , but boy was I wrong.
Yeah , there isnt much going on in the lyrics because there are not any , just random ridiculously over the top grunts and random words , we were just improvizing along the way =D

Thanks for taking the time to write .
