Zhon's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dimas - Get dummied on]

Dude.

At first when this song came on (NG radio) I was like "eh."
But after like 15 seconds I felt immediately compelled to come give you some fives.

Aster responds:

That's kinda sad, Especially cause this music was made in 2016

[Mysterious Valley]

Heard this on NG radio. Really love it. Gives me a weird sort of 90s underground chill vibe.

SilverFoxJams responds:

Thanks. I'm glad. I didn't know there was internet NG radio now. Goes to show how much time I'm around here. ^^;

[Flight (Pegasus, part II Concept)]

The piano melody felt a bit underwhelming, especially once the percussion started. I feel like part of the reason for this is also that the 45 second buildup at the start doesn't feel particularly vindicated. I get the feeling you're kind of avoiding the typical dramatic shift after the buildup, so maybe some additional complexity to the melody at around that point could help?

SierraRising responds:

You are correct in that the piano melody is a little weak, I can hear that now. If I finish this, I will ve sure to up the volume and spice up the melody a bit. Thank you so much for the review, I really appreciate it!

[Enter Newground]

I've always thought that the mark of great music is its ability to inspire others.

I'm inspired as shit. Well done.

Phonometrologist responds:

Your comment made me chuckle. I'd subscribe to that notion of music.

[Colonia]

I'm a noob when it comes to music, so take this review from the perspective of a layman...

I feel like the first 30 seconds of the song could be cut out. There is a ton of really slow buildup that just isn't really justified.

Dat piano melody... I feel like switching up the meter or adding more depth to it would help, but as it stands it just gets to be kind of overpowering. Even if it was quieter it would be too distracting to really appreciate the rest of the sounds.

Sound effects at 1:28 and 2:12 are nice. Variety... If this track is missing anything it's definitely variety.

In the end I do actually like this track, so again, coming from a complete noob... Not bad.

SierraRising responds:

Despite your claims of being a noob in this area, I found your review quite helpful and kind. Thank you, I'll be sure to work on variety next time.

[Warm Introspection]

Splendid song.

Hi there. I really like this song! It's very relaxing but somehow still energetic. I like that you didn't rush the progression of the song. The title fits it perfectly, too. Do you mind if I use the first few seconds of this in an animation? :)

TheBenjerman responds:

I'm glad you like it, and nice animation!
