Amoeboy's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[RGH: Finding New Light(Hope)]

Well then....

First of all, I read your profile message, HAHAHAHAHA!
"I am the most unappreciated artist on this site..."
Get over yourself mate, stop being so morose.
You are not the most unappreciated artist, there are many that have barely 10 reviews alltogether with just as many songs as you!
Anyway, enough of that. This trk is nice, bit more could've been made of the drums, the instrumentation is good and well chosen. The trk builds well and its layers and arrangements are pretty sweet. Not my thing though, I like my video game style trx to not be so epic and more oldskool and 8/16bit sounds.
It's nice, yep....it's nice.

RyeGuyHead responds:

give me some names....ill hepl them feel more apreciated

[Oro N' API - Second Awakening]

Tired

There are so many tracks that have the same sound as this, so many times have I heard something similar to this, so many people make this kind of music and yet so many sheep carry on listening to and making this kinda thing. Music for 14 year olds. Utterly unoriginal, utterly devoid of emotion and completey lacking any talent apart from in the sense of arrangement, which isn't exactly hard to do in the genre of Trance. Come on, sort it out. Booooooooooooooooooring. Why not try to write something remotely individual.

Oro responds:

I laugh. A lot.

For those who haven't, check out "Amoeboy"'s track, "changing shapes" if you want a good laugh.

( PS: For an added humor bonus, re-read his review after listening :] )

[§Zeth§ The promise is Given]

Soundtrack

Those who spend time reading may become wise through the thoughts of others, but those who spend time thinking become wise in their own right.
This trk is competent, soundtrack music for some sort of battle scene flash perhaps, impressive regarding your age, but nothing particularly new or inventive. If u wanna be a music maker for video games and/or film scores then you're definately going the right way about it, but I find this stuff pretty dull.

XGM-Zeth responds:

Good, because the intensions i have is to become a soundtrack composer.

And as im not making music for others to love me, but in order for me to have the feeling of creativity, i just do it for the fun of it.

[PaNdOrA-Fantasmal Sadness]

Well written

It's stereotypical Trance music. Very well written , very competent, but just uninventive.
I'm impressed by the fact u are only 14 yet u can create full-on tracks of this nature. Very good, and i would like to hear what u go on to produce in the years to come.

Pandora-Tranquil responds:

i really really hope u didnt vote higher cuz of my age. i wish ppl didnt include that in the review of the songs "goodness" or whatever u wanna call it.

as far as the uninventiveness goes, i really like this kind of music so why not make it? lol being origional does not always sound good (if you get what im saying)

thanks for the review and the 9

[BEEP OUT LOUD!!!............]

starts well....

... The single thumping beat later on in the track does help it recover, but it's so unoriginal and lacks any personality. This could have been made by anyone! I think u need to give your tracks some more personality. Reverb and sound effects that have been used before don't help.
Average.

MATTRON responds:

I know what you mean...this isnt one of my better tracks..and there is no real good build up. i personaly think that many of my other songs far exeed this one. The reason I submited this was just to try somthing new and apperently it is a somthing that does not settle to well. another reason I submited this was because i used some backround FX and various diferent sounds just to see what I could creat.

Ill keep this review in mind for my future tracks! (M)

thanx for the feed back

[Cosmic Reaction]

ermmmmm.....

...doesnt sound like someone who's angry to me. Sounds like a piece of univentive, randomly glued together sounds and beats that are so booooooring.
The trk sounds empty, disjointed and totally lacks any ooomph. And the 'begin' vocal at the start, did u think that would sound cool, hahahha!
Fast paced it may be, but c'mon, it's so empty and lacking any soul that anyone could have made it, where's the personalitly?

Johnny-Beat responds:

congratulations! you managed to be a complete DICK while reviewing my FIRST TRACK. every heard of "constructive criticism"? Funny, everyone else seemed to like it, and everyone else has also managed to make music. so, let's hear some of your stuff mr.composer. you're the epitome of a hypocrite, and maybe im overdoing this, cause i know im going to have to get used to cockbreath fucks like you, but why dont you try not being such a prick when you dish out your shallow, narrow-minded opinions next time you talk about someone's music.
thank you for reviewing =)

[Polar]

how is that indie?

definately nothing to do with indie, shouldve been put in misc. Its ok and couldve used a solid beat to it instead of those overly repetetive kicks.

griff711 responds:

thnx, yea i didnt kno wut indie was, so i figured it sounded close, yea aim new to music makin so i guess this is a good start

[PaNdOrA-Pandemonium Chamber-3]

It's good

The drums do the bassline no justice. They sound too military and put me off listening to the rest of the track. I did listen to it all though, and it was pretty good. I only want to listen once though, because it isn't that intersting or unique enough to keep me coming back for more. I read your comments about it getting voted 0 and it definately doesnt deserve that, so i'll give u 4/5, however i am being generous because of your age. This trk is nowhere near as good as some of the quality Drum and bass tunes i've heard on this site. I hope u don't think i'm being too harsh, I'm just being honest and giving my opinion.

Pandora-Tranquil responds:

thats your opinion, this is a branch of DNB, my age means nothing, jus cuz im 14 doesnt mean that i cant do just as good as everyone else.

i did the drums like that ON PURPOSE, they are fast, hard, and crazy.

so this is like a snare branch of DNB, sorry you didnt like it, please dont vote higher jus cuz im 14.

[What's In The Box?]

ok...

...the singers is a cobain wannabe without any of the angst or passion, the band is ok, but it's hard to hear them over that fukin annoying shit of a vocalist. Must realise that this is 2005 and not 1991.

PlasticMessiah responds:

you know nothing about anger angst and passion it's ovious you didn't listen to the lyrics. This is a trimmed down version of a recording from a show. this is funny because this has been the only bad review that we have had so far amongst to the reviews we get all the time this is been the only bad one.
It's easy to see that you have no music submissions or any submissions so unless you can do the same thing we can think before you speak.
Our music is for artist and people who are accepting of musical evolution

[the real bass tester]

Nice sound....

.....But it isn't a song, its just one sound, that varies octave. Why class this as Drum n Bass when there are no drums whatsoever all it is, is a basic loop on repeat. Fair play that u r young and learning, but it relly aint woth submitting this stuff.

pyrochickenjp responds:

yeah its bass buddy there is konow thig just for bass thats why its called bass tester ass man it dont have to have durm its drum and bass it can b just drum or just bass or both yeah yeah
