TharosTheDragon's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[DJ AsianTech - Asian Girl]

Is it just my headphones, or are some of the sounds weirdly muffled? Like there seem to be some volume discrepancies with some of the tracks, like the sound cuts out when it shouldn't. It's really noticeable to me. Am I crazy?

[The Blossom Tree WIP]

Sakura means cherry blossom, dude.

[8-Bit Epic]

That percussion in the first part is a little too relentless and distracting, and I don't think any actual 8-bit game tunes have any of that drum/maraca/shaker egg/whatever it is.

BenTibbetts responds:

OK, thank you for listening.

[Tricky's Song]

And so now a classic sea shanty that was featured in Disney's Alice in Wonderland (not to mention Kringles' Madness series) is referred to as Castle Crashers music?

Dan even explains that this is a sea shanty in his description!

Oh a sailor's life is the life for me!
Twiddly um bum bum o'er the bounding sea.
And I never ever ever did a thing about the weather
'cause the weather never ever did a thing for me.

[Epic Adventure]

Either title theme or RPG overworld. Very high quality. Like Nobuo Uematsu meets Hans Zimmer.

samulis responds:

Thanks man, I really wanted to draw from both the film and the game score world in the style I chose for this.

[Dot Dot Dot]

Too bad reviews don't look like that anymore, so this whole thing has become obsolete after the redesign.

Hey, is that Mr. Plinkett at the end?

[- LD - Find Me]

Really cool

What's the game called? Who's making it?

[**Zelda's Lullaby**]

Majestic

I'm pretty dumbfounded by how amazing this is. I listened to it a few weeks ago and I'm listening again now.

On the second listen I noticed that I think it would be better if your consonants were softer. It sounds like you have a voice teacher who's constantly telling you to enunciate with very crisp consonants, but this is one case where it seems like you're hitting those consonants too hard, especially t's and p's. This song is a lullaby and it should sound sleepy. The t's should sound a little like d's, the p's should sound a little like b's, etc. It would sound more natural and would flow more smoothly that way.

As I continue to listen I'm noticing parts where the consonants do sound softer, so I guess you're already halfway there. The last sleep at the very end is very soft of course.

VGSongbird responds:

Lol the first half of my song the pop filter fell off, so I had to make shift one mid song. It was crazy XD

[Conflicting Forces]

Not bad

The first song in which Gary Brolsma's voice is heard got only 2 reviews in 5 years? This is the Numa Numa man, people. An everlasting legend.

[There's Another Way Out]

Good stuff

I know what you mean with the whole futuristic compound thing. Logan's Run, THX 1138, The Island. It's very robotic in parts, like there's huge machinery all around him, sort of like an Oddworld game. It's all very mysterious. I think it's a bit more euphoric than frantic or suspenseful though. Like you can just forget about being chased and marvel at the new places you've discovered.
