johnfn's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Okay]

You did real good. Vocal delivery reminds me just a smidge of Andrew Jackson Jihad. I like the message too. The only thing that didn't really gel with me are the backing vocals in the second half - I'm not even sure if they were necessary. I really liked the vocal melodies though. Good work all around.

SonicWombat responds:

Thanks a bunch, brohan!

[What it is to Imagine]

Dannng, I love this. SO GROOVY.

I hope YOU'RE satisfied with what you did, because this rocks dude!

InvisibleObserver responds:

Mostly satisfied! I plan on improving it some over the next few days where I can, maybe edit the upload once judging is done.

[Tree of Life]

Yup.

[Cracked Pavement]

Really great composition but dang those samples sound fake D: Oh well, who cares. That final piano jam is pretty sweet :D

ChronoNomad responds:

Thanks, johnfn! ...I think. Fake? Whaaat!? Nah, that's cool. You're not wrong, after all. :P
Weirdly enough, that's kind of what I was going for. Mostly. Probably. Folks seem to like it, so that's super cool and groovy.

My time has been severely limited due largely to other priorities, so I kind of had to bust it out the quick and dirty way. But you know what? That actually seems to be part of the track's overall charm. I wanted it to have a decidedly retro flavor, and that seems to have worked out nicely somehow. As long as it's fun to listen to, that makes it a rousing success in my eyes! Huzzah!

Honestly, that's a right fantastic score you went and gave me. It means a lot to me, so seriously--thank you. I do love me a sweet piano jam! ^__^

[Rising to the Challenge]

Dang, this is awesome! Sounds like an 80's boss battle at points! :D The mix gets a little cluttered at points but it makes up for it in spades with awesomeness and sheer 80's power! I always thought the 80's was the worst decade but you may change my mind ;-)

Spadezer responds:

Heh, makes up for it in spades ;)

And the 80's had Journey (look up Separate Ways and you'll understand).

Thanks for the 4 and a half!

[Oceans Wide]

10/10 melodies, but that mixing is really screwed up. Go fix it. Also you really love suspended chords, but that's ok, because I do too.

Really those melodies are gorgeous though! so good!

Troisnyx responds:

While I still have time, what exactly needs fixing?

[Rainfall]

I actually like this one even more than your first collab, which was already amazing. Kinda reminds me of XTC at parts, but it's weird enough to defy characterization. Can't wait to hear you guys cook up more songs :-)

[Swan Lullaby]

Really nice! Some of the transitions are a little abrupt, but the melody has a really nice childhood-like feel to it :-)

Chemiqals responds:

Thank you! That's exactly what I was going for, honestly! (Makes sense if you ever get to play The Unfinished Swan!) =P

[Here, have some groove]

My god... this is like the grooviest thing I've ever heard.

AWESOME

Jernemies responds:

Glad you like it :)
