RadioactiveRhino's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Solus- Last Call]

Quite truthfully awesome

I loved the mix of a latin feel with the down and gritty NY feel. Yes, they aren't styles, but I hear music as a picture, if that makes sense. :)

Collab, much?

RR

SolusLunes responds:

Who cares if they're not styles? It's what it makes you think of. :D

[RoCk SymPhonY RoCk]

Wicked!...

...Awesome!

The harmonies between the guitars were great, and contrary to FKWAJP, the guitar was fine. The violins at the beginning were pretty great, even if they did sound looped.

fortino555 responds:

thanks man

[The Blue Bomber]

Pretty sweet!

Brings me back to my old Gameboy, with Megaman II and V.
This song rocks in so many ways it's hard to describe!
But, i'll try :P
The beat is very NES feeling, and the 'melody' is truely straight out of Megaman II/V

Meh, my words are clashing.
Like Clash man!

Skitchstudio responds:

I spent a good amount of time trying to figure out what to call this track, and ultimately chose the melody as the basis for the name.

I'm glad you liked the track, at any rate! :)

[Psychedelics]

Greatness!

Truly awesome. Feels laid back enough to be ambient/background, yet melodic enough to be a full song. Hard to do that!

However, I wish it was turned up a bit. Came out really quite.
And it does need a little bit more variety in the middle. Just a wee squidgem.

m0dul4r responds:

Alright, I'll get right to that.

Thanks for liking it.

[Demoscene]

As WeezyF said...classic!

Really does remind me of the old NES/Arcade. Even though the music was never used in it, reminds me of F-Zero.
Great job!

m0dul4r responds:

I was going for the lo-fi chiptune sound. Glad that it has my intended effect on listeners.

[Defcon Zero Remix]

Good job on DZ-Remix!

Very nice sound, but the overload of instruments tends to kill my ears.
Just feels like there's too much going on, even if they are in unison.

mechanoid-9 responds:

Heh ^^ I tended to overload all my songs when I was using FL. With Reason I try to keep the sound level as high as possible without making it overwhelming. Thanks for the review.

[Vengeful Remembrance]

Very nice!

Instantly downloaded.
I love the contrast the piano brings to the strings and rest. Keep up the good work!

mechanoid-9 responds:

Thanks, will do.

[Linkin Park - Numb (Orchestral cover)]

Sounds pretty good

I really enjoyed it, but the strings sound VERY synth.
Perhaps less drums, maybe some horns would help?

mechanoid-9 responds:

Well, it was my first Reason song, I learned the basics of Reason through this. That's why the instruments are a bit noobish; I haven't chosen the best ones, just added the first that I judged fitting, not bothering to find better ones :/ Nowadays I choose my instruments more carefully. Thanks for the review.

[LoZ 2A03: The Dark World]

Don't listen to Dodoman1er...

...because...well...he's a dodo!
You really did nice on this, not often one hears such great 8-bit! The backgrounds really melded well with the melody, but they seemed to rush a little a bit at certain parts. Maybe just clashing with melody, but sounded odd. Regardless, keep up the good work!

EdgeHypermatter responds:

Nah, It did go out of sync... I fixed it though... try it now.

[Earthbound 0- Eight Melodies]

Nice!

I really enjoyed this piece, as it brought back old memories. Good old memories :)
The only thing as far as criticism is that alot of the instruments sounded very similar. Sometimes a bit more variety is appreciated (at least by me), so that one can be able to appreciate all the different layers.

Can't wait for more, RadioactiveRhino!

ZOMGBIE responds:

I'm glad you liked it. I understand what you mean. I kinda wanted to keep a fairly simple instrumentation just to avoid making it sound too cluttered, but your point is well made. I will take that into account on my next one. Thanks for the review!
