robertsona's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Lp- Effort Revised]

Very Nice.

It sounds full and nice and practiced. It gets a little boring because of the lack of variation, but is cool. Nice piece. Can't wait 'till you get a program so you can quantize and it sounds a lot better. Nice job.

[(NUB)Hello to you]

Loops, what loops?

"Loop". I guess it would be normal to tell you to make this to a song, but I like it the way it is. An interlude. Late-night. Watching Adult Swim. Right before, say, "Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job" comes on, one of those strange adverts for nothing, with just an out-of-focus picture, and this song playing. Sorry, not song. "Loop".

Wow, reviewer below me is really dumb.

KgZ was stating what this song means for him, not what it should mean for you. It may have been what's in his mind, but not what has to be in yours. The fact that you rated it lower because of that is extremely stupid too. You're supposed to rate it based on the song, not the description.
Anyways, before I become hypocritical, onto the song: it has one of your most unforgettable memories, and overall the song is really cool. The change in the song at 2:00 is very beautiful. The synth solo thing is really cool too. Great job, even if the song is old.

Don't stray away.

Well, first, don't make your descriptions like ads for your songs. But this track is whatever. The sounds are annoying. The bass and hit sounds don't feel right, and the kick lacks something. Really, don't stray away from ambient. I know you don't want to.

TwilightShade responds:

I do enjoy making Ambient tracks, but I also wanted to give techno a shot and see how I could do with it. Right now I'm just kinda experimenting to see what I like and what I can do best, so the styles of my tracks are kinda varying a bit. Thanks for the review though.

And as for the description, I can remove that part; I was kinda in a hurry to get it up so I just BS'd the description, haha,

[Trapped in the Mercury Realm]

I know you and I want something more, but wow.

This has to be one of my favorite songs on this whole site. So good. Go iTunes or whatever your media player is, and search for Burial. Dubstep artist. If you want something more, adding beats, this guy is the guy you wanna take after. But anyway, this song creeps me the hell out, it has feeling, you made it in Audacity (wow), and I love it. Great job.

Switch the name.

The beginning is fantastic. I love it love it love it. It's so amazing. I don't love the beat, but maybe it'll get better...waiting. Nope. I'd like it as an interlude with just the intro, because it's so amazingly well made. I'm sure without the intro the song would have been less of a disappointment, because it's so brilliant, but meh. It's still good. God, I want to steal that intro though. Good job anyway.

ChampionAnwar responds:

Lol, what can I say - It felt right when I did it. However I can understand you.
Thanks for the intro comment, i'm sure you could do something quite similar to that? I'll work on those things for future reference :)

[(NUB)Ending Theme]

Goodbye?

Not "epic". Or whatever. Song length surprised me. Still shows classical/orchestral inspiration, e.x. "Wizard's". Also with a music box sound-like, like Document13. Then fuller sound, strings, at 0:48. You can tell it is a simple song from the beginning. Which isn't necessarily bad. However, why do I not feel it? This feels too tempting of a goodbye. This is just the start. This isn't a goodbye.
It's a hello.

[[AL] Break it down]

Sparse and Chill

Song has enough sounds, seperated as they may be. And it's very cool/chill, whatever you may like to call it. Beat is simple yet effective, with sparkly and videogame sounds, matched with ethereal strings. The beats go fast, but the song never feels hectic or rushed; always laid-back. Very cool. I like.

ChampionAnwar responds:

Thanks for the review, I'm glad you liked it :)

[(NUB)Dreams of Better Days(P)]

Possibly Your Most Aesthetically Pleasing Song

Sometimes your songs blow me away with their creativity; their originality. This song did not. This song blew me away because of just how goddamn good it is. The song is simple. Only drums, strings, and guitar (which might also be strings, but who cares?). The arrangement of these three, is flawless, however simple it may be. The genre you put this under: "Hip Hop-Modern", speaks to me, and now I want someone to rap over this, quite badly, because it deserves it. This is not Drum N Bass. This is something entirely different, and maybe better.

[(NUB)The Wizard's Finale]

Epic. All There is to Say.

One look at the length tells me this is going to be a ride. A wild ride. Strings that are epic, soon mixed with a...wind sound. Not sure what. Another reinvention. Chorus sounds. Orchestral. New Nubbin sounds. Reinventing yourself in ways I never thought possible. At about 1:20, reminds me of tiptoeing. Through a dungeon. To find the dragon and save the princess. Maybe. Sounds unsure. Tentative. Many different string parts at a time, but very well mixed. Then comes drums, which also fit very well. Simple beat, consisting of two sounds, but far from simple in its intentions. Then becomes more "real"-sounding, and adds more sounds. Song stays for a while with drums, until they go out for a while. Like a candle. Blown out. Melodic and sorrowful strings, unlike anything else in your collection. Like an epic movie soundtrack. Some use of dissonance, but not much. Just beauty. And elegance. Then the unexpected, yet expected. 5:40 through. Chaos. Madness. Amazing. Crazy fast hectic drums, unlike anything you've ever made. Elegance and chaos, mixed perfectly. Then drums calm down for a while, with the same two sounds as before. Then again as before. I'm telling you, this is fantastic. Then calmer, but not as calm as before. Still 16th notes. Still fits perfectly. Building tension. Pause. Hectic again. Perfect. Then calm after the storm, just as before. This is the new Nubbin, folks. Enjoy him while he's here, because soon he'll be running off into the world of IDM again, blowing your world apart.
