Shiverwar's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Cirno's Perfect Math Class]

Way to steal content, mate. Keep this up, and you'll be on your way to the glory land of being known as a music thief.

[Ultimate Blattle (Dragon Ball Super OST)]

Nice stolen content, mate. I'd give 10/10, but I know you didn't make it.

[Fah Noh Sah]

Oddly enough, I don't imagine this being in Skyrim. I imagine it being in Dragon's Dogma. It sounds right up its alley, and I'll be DAMNED if this isn't fucking rad! As usual, Dan, you knock it right out of the goddamn ballpark with this one. Everything seems to mesh well together, and the vocals add another level of atmosphere that metal songs should have! The mix of classical and metal seems to really be your edge, and what a sharp edge it is! One thing I've noticed, though, is that your tracks all seem to have some sort of Celtic or Gaelic feel to them in parts, or overall. I noticed this more with "Edge of the Sword", but even more with "Aes Sídhe". Very, very nice touch. So far, I can't find anything to complain about at all!

DanJohansen responds:

Nah I don't find that odd at all man! I didn't have Skyrim in mind when I made it :) And skyrim don't have a lot of Celtic vibes etc etc. I was actually more subtly inspired by the shouts in God of War OST's than Skyrim if anything. Glad you dig the tune man! I really love Celtic vibes, def not done exploring that territory :)

[SSBM Zelda Temple Metaliz]

There's not much else I can really say other than these two words:

HELL. YES.

[Battle The True Hero]

Clearly stolen content. It's one thing to rip someone's remix and reupload it, but to blatantly reupload the OFFICIAL soundtrack and think it's okay? No. It's not okay. Read the rules before you upload ANYTHING on to Newgrounds. Maybe then you'll actually see that work you DID NOT CREATE is not permitted on the site.

[Spear Of Justice]

You've been found out. This isn't yours at all, is it? In fact, I did a little digging, and I discovered that this is actually a mash-up between the original theme and a metal cover done by ToxicXEternity and insaneintherainmusic on YouTube. Hence, this isn't yours. Read the rules before you upload something to Newgrounds: DO NOT UPLOAD WHAT YOU DID NOT CREATE!

[ParagonX9 Chaoz Fantasy (G-9878 Remix)]

While I like ParagonX9's work, I don't appreciate downloading their tracks, putting a filter over them, and reuploading them as your own, which is pretty easy to tell that that's what you did here. This song, contrary to the name, is "Chaoz Impact", not "Chaoz Fantasy", and all you did was toss a filter over it in an attempt to shield yourself from the rules. Sorry to say that it doesn't work on those who have ears as well-trained as my own. If you want to make a remix of one of ParagonX9's songs, how about making one from scratch?

[Last Train Home]

You should read the rules of uploading content on Newgrounds before you decide to upload anything. You are not allowed to upload something you didn't create. Not to mention, the rules for Geometry Dash have changed over the years, I would think, and last I checked, RobTop (whatever his name is) does not allow fresh, just-joined-the-site artists to have their work featured on Geometry Dash, and this submission is one reason why: stolen content that people don't own the copyright to. Neither Newgrounds nor Geometry Dash want to have problems with the DMCA and whatnot, which this submission IS in violation of, due to the fact that you didn't create the song, and you don't own its copyright.

[Good Music]

I recognize a bunch of pre-made loops and vocal bits from FL Studio. I've dug through the files before, I know that a lot of these are just drum loops and vocal recordings that are in the sample project files. Not only that, but this... this is so boring. This is a boring piece you've put together. No real through-line or focus, no real solid structure. This is merely an amalgamation of loops and words that already exist in the files. Only one part stands out, but even then it's so basic that I can't bring myself to find any enjoyment out of it. Instead of playing with the premade loops, play with the plugins and try to make something unique to yourself.

[AQW - Chaos Champion]

While it is a damn good theme, this is just a blatant rip. Rips are not allowed on Newgrounds, or did you not read the rules before uploading this?
