Neophyte-Ronin's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Serial Bastard]

Influences are Obvious

Someone's been listening to a lot of Gorebastard.

BERSERKYD responds:

Nope never heard about that... Its only in my head ! I'm a freaking bastard sometime :P

[We Blind (Bad Man)]

Finish

Seriously.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Ok dude. Also, I have vox for xeno's new thing...just gotta polish them up.

Thanks man.

['10 Ryu versus M. Bison]

Cinematic Tribute

Holy Shit! OCRemix Material!

You could definitely try something like this, only not the same track here--make another one--and clean house with the finicky judges at Overclocked Remix.

EvilRaccoon responds:

Hey Neophyte, was an OCRemix?

[Dancing With wind-]

Just a Few (too many) Questions

Wait a minute... isn't this from the "Dances with Wolves" Soundtrack? What are you trying to pull on us, man? Here I am, seeking out royalty-free, fair-use tracks for use in Flash media, cartoons and games and stuff... and I get some upstart who thinks he can get away with posting a piece from a soundtrack CD? Not wise.

(Unless, of course, you emulated the track flawlessly... which I doubt).

TommyUlysesGrant responds:

Many people have said exactly what you are saying. and I always respond the same. When you are remaking a song, it is typically very difficult to change the main rhythm, I changed the name because it happened to already had been in use.

I am sorry my music is not to your taste ;(

[Enter the Arena of Death]

Can I Use This Song in a Flash Video Game?

OMFG Killer Instinct Gold Fulgore Theme?

Hey, it brought me back, okay!

Floggers and Lagers!

GoreBastard responds:

Cheers man!
Fulgore was a beast!

And yeah, you can use it in a flash, that's cool.

Thanks duder!

[DETH]

Needs Tweaking, but Evil-Sounding Nonetheless

The Tempo is meant for a grim, evil hard blues-type of Great Old One rising from the ocean. It's not enough to keep YOU awake, but it's not like it utterly bombs. The drawback comes in the fast parts, which are a bit repetitive. Yes, it could use some tweaking, or even you screaming nonsense in the background, before it becomes genius.

Floggers and Lagers!

GoreBastard responds:

Cheers man! Yeah this one wasn't anything special. The main reason I uploaded it was to let people know that I'm still around!

Chairs and benches!

[Bloodstains And Splatter Marks]

Bang Your Head

Hi! Welcome back. Apparently, there aren't enough fuckers dying of plague so you're just in time to help us all out!

Well anyway, since you went the free route, the songs are easier to make into flashes.

I also notice the riffs you use are very trademark, in a sense. You could string several songs from your catalog into a complete bad-ass metal soundtrack for a game (hence my BBQBeefburgerman concept and, wouldn't you know it, that guy made another flash to prove who rules the portal and shit!).

Pretty soon, a bunch of metalheads will be pumping out tracks and forming albums, inspired by your attempt. And they'll probably pale in comparison to this one track alone.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Mega Thanks for the awesome words, my friend. Glad people are diggin this. Next album song soon. haha.

Its all about cochlear penetration. haha.

Thanks again, dude!

Some Make a Cartoon of This Prick

Hey, Superius... Doritos are made by the SAME FUCKIN' COMPANY!

Had this clip repeat constantly until I snapped and burst into maniacal laughter.

The full skit is worthy of a flash being produced.

tehslaphappy responds:

Yes.

[Rubbin' On Mah Ballz]

Ladies and Gentlemen, FUCK YOU!

If there was going to be a spiritual sequel to that Big Gay Bubba cartoon, I would have to do it. And I would feature this song.

I have not one inch of fucking pride, see.

Only issue: too short. You gotta make it Stamper-length before people notice you.

tehslaphappy responds:

TL;DR.

[Scissors!]

Foundation for an Excellent Song

This is a grim tune about psychiatric disorder and suicide, right? The lyrics don't need the touch-up. The music has enough class and groove to warrant a female vocalist (bear with me on this idea!) to get the pitch and octave up a notch. Next thing I would touch up is the emotion. It really has to sound like the vocalist is about to break down and cry over this senseless death.

Other than that, this has the workings of a prog-rock classic. It's terribly spooky, I'll give you that. It's also smooth and unsettling, a difficult combination accomplished only through jazz genres. In that sense, it is safe to say that you're giving yourself an excellent range that nobody can deny. Now all you have to do is get a willing lady vocalist and collab endlessly. If you don't like your vocals, either take voice classes or recruit someone who not only does, but others like also.

Voted Five (the song is above and beyond most submissions here, anyway).

Kor-Rune responds:

Thanks! You pretty much hit the nail on the head with the meaning. I wrote it about suicidal thoughts in today's youth, and also how they feel like they're so cut off from the world, and in something deeper.

I certainly would love a female vocalist actually. A lot of my tones and music seems that it would fit for a female-lead going on. I'll be on the lookout for one, maybe take a couple of my songs and give them to female vocalists around the internet, and see if they'd like to sing them. Thanks for the suggestion, I haven't really seen it before!
