RNNR's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Rig - Am I Cool Yet?]

This is bad.

It feels bad, it sounds bad, it makes me want to do bad things, preferably with bad people, all to look cool.

This is reminiscent of Noisia's breakbeat forays. It's filled with nice touches, varying depth, interesting detail and all riding on that bad, naughty bass.
The voice sample has a bit of irony to it, reminds me of all those people doing stuff for attention, so if it's a poke to them... :D

Great outro too.

Rig responds:

Yeah, I tried to fill the intro with cliches. ;D

[Melodic Verbosity edit]

Insight

Alright, here goes.

The introduction I think could be longer, you firmly establish a soundscape which you then kinda throw away when the beat drops in. Maybe you could have a more simple beat subtly kick in, going down the road of the melody of the intro, and have that move into the bit that comes after 01:10.
Listening on, perhaps you could even have it continue with everything after 01:57.

This has great potential, all the bits are here, they just need to be put together.

philjo responds:

Thanks man, I think i know what you mean with the sudden change after a good start. Hmm a more coherent progression could point it in a good direction. Thanks for the advice!

[[oove] See the Sun]

Didn't know Chicane frequented these parts

How do you like that comparison?

I have gone through a few of your songs, you're one skilled individual.
There's not much I can say which could help you improve, just stick to what you're doing.

You're amazing.

broove responds:

I like the comparison.
There are many things which need to be improved.
But thank you very much, man ;)

[.:Reconcile:.]

RAWR...

So... yeah, decided to review this one =)

Is there some Phillip Glass in there I'm hearing? Metamorphosis One comes to mind, from the album 'Glass Cage'. You're quite the skilled person when it comes to piano.
Though I wouldn't quite call this a 'chill-out track'. While it's simple, there's too much 'going on', if you catch my drift. But now I'm getting all nitpicky...

It's brilliant, all around.
And if you're wondering why I didn't give it a 10, well... I never give out 10s!

Darkmaster603 responds:

I've never heard of Philip Glass, but I guess I'll have to check him out! Most of my comps are originally composed for the guitar, so that may be why I have a lot going on. I get what you mean by too much going on, and I actually am in the process of redoing this song.

Thanks for the review!

[Glacial Heights_sample]

The constant fades are rather annoying

Even though the track's a top notch production in just about every area (I can't really hear anything wrong), the fade-ins and outs completely ruin the coherency and constantly pull the listener out of the song.
I understand it's a preview, but just the first one and a half minute or something to wet my appetite would've worked a lot better.

5cyp43r responds:

Thank you, next track will sure be a FULL track. Anyway, you got my review. ;)

[Rig - Our Secret]

Sex

Before I joined NG, I've been tracking you, stalking you... Your bass resonated in my dreams and every time I heard a sound even remotely similar to anything in this song, I'd be reminded of its superb awesomeness.
Late at night, I'd have this playing on my Sennheisers while using my MP3 player to stroke my... cat.

You are one of the top guns here and this song just further cements your place here and tightens your grasp on NG.

Rig responds:

I'd like to meet your cat :3

Aw, thanks for the love! It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

[Day04 - The sound of a sunny..]

1:20 is just too damn short

Really, everything that comes after 0:33 deserves straight A's in my book and can be expanded on. It could quite possibly make one of the greatest songs NG has ever seen.
Though I do agree with SREvol about that snare, something thick, phat and punchy to balance out that sexy kick.

After you're done consider revisiting this, this is top notch material.

hopeku responds:

Haha thanks.

I know 1:20 is too short for a song, but I make one per days so I cant really make it longer (Well I could, but that would be damn to long). But maybe i'll make an extended of that one when i'm done with my project

As for the snare, i'm really not sure about that. I'll chek that out if I make it longer someday!

[DJ Comet-Reality Strikes]

Pickle in a Jar

At first I was like 'eehhh', then 01:36 came and I was like 'yeeaahhhh'.
I'd like some more variety in my drumfills, chef. That speedy snare gets a little repetitive after hearing it for 5 times!

Great song overall.

TheComet responds:

yeah I never noticed that at first, definately should've diversified my drumline a bit before submitting, stuck with the amen break and a lil glitch a bit too much

[Can you feel me]

France

Tell me, how much Daft Punk and Justice do you listen =P?
Props on crystal clear production, slick bass and great incorporation of vocals.

You could even make it longer, ya know. Or am I to take the sudden fade-out at the end as a sign?

organicdreams responds:

Thanks for the review, i indeed listen to alot of daft punk. And the reason for the sudden fade out is because this is a work in progress song. As of this moment the song can go anyway, and the final version could be nothing compared to this WIP.

[Chaoz Fantasy (Teck071 Rmx)]

Track's Bitchin'

Holy crap...
This takes me back to the glory days of Svenson & Gielen. This is Trance!

Great remix.

Teck071 responds:

Thats a fucking compliment, thanks alot :D
