Phronemophobia's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[[Cyborg Hobo Cavemen] Slow 'n Heavy Does it!]

On the one hand, this is not my favorite track from the album. On the other hand, if the entire album is excellent, then that first statement doesn't really mean much, does it?

As always, thank you for supporting the Audio Portal with your talent, Alex.

[Rubber Chocolate]

I don't really know how to take this. It sounds like it was cut out of the middle of a longer song. You certainly make unique music, but I can't always wrap my head around how I would imagine hearing it. While I'm cruisin' on the road? Looking out the window on a rainy day? Suffering from a cocktail of expired drugs? I don't know, HOTS.

[Get a Squirrel (2020)]

YES, BERTN! YES!

Bertn1991 responds:

Smiles for miles ^____^

[Lovebug Virus (2012-2020)]

These Lovebug tunes are some of your bestest uploads, Bertn. That term must be your version of giving something your own seal of quality.

Bertn1991 responds:

Super thank you! I don't know about seal of quality. I would say seal of "this one is especially special to me and I hope other people also enjoy it." That's a pretty long seal I guess.

[Lovebug Virus 2019]

I didn't know this existed. How did I miss this gem last year?!

[The compacted Poopie of HOTSTUFFDX 2 (unreleased stuffs 3)]

Good stuff from Haywire Horny, Instinctual Unconsenting hugging compulsions, I DOn't kNOW, The nuzzlers, Shoulder fetish, Lustful loony, and #21.

Farmin' Weeds and Cartoon Babe were alright. I wanted to love them, but there's just not a whole lot going on with either song to merit a second listen.

Is Top Left Drawer sampling Dat Weasel?

Succo's piece reminds me of the Flintstones theme song. I don't know why. Is that intended or have I been listening to SiIvaGunner too much lately?

I cut my uvula off with scissors!!! :D, Breasts be Brutes, and The End! are all painful for me to listen to. I'm sorry.

A fairly decent album you got here. I hope you go back and rework/add to some of these. Hate to see the potential go to waste.

Thank you, HOTS.

[Funny Clowns!]

The voice of an angel singing about the life of a clown. What a delight this is!

[(DK64) "DK Crew Gets Spooked!"]

I love this so much. Have you ever listened to a proper Halloween radio station, Alex? There are so many fun songs dedicated to the holiday, and it feels like they've been diminishing at a steady pace since the mid-nineties. My point, however, is that many of those songs are the same sort of goof-spooky that this brings to the ears, and I couldn't be happier.

Thank you as always, HoboKa. You really know how to bring out the best of Halloween music.

HoboKa responds:

Probably listened to it back in the day. Radio in general hahaha. Yeah, I love campy, dismal, fucked up things. If I didn't have psoriasis I'd probably make a good Goth/Emo kid. Thanks for the kind words and thoughts to things that once were.

[Soapstone Palace #SNESMusicContest]

You know, it really does sound like something I'd hear while roaming a castle for the first time in an SNES JRPG. I'd like to believe the tune would change to something more lively after your party has defeated the whom/whatever is troubling the kingdom... kinda like Camlon in the original Breath of Fire before the first boss is defeated and the town is rebuilt.

If nothing else, I hope you're recognized for your talent, Bertn. It's a lovely piece of music and you're a lovely individual for sharing it with us.

Bertn1991 responds:

Thank you 6000! Breath of Fire is a great complement in my book. Breath of Fire 3 is currently my favorite of the bunch I've played. Good memories for sure.

U #1 :-)

[Chillin', Grillin', n' Killin']

Strong start, but I slowly began to lose interest near the halfway point. The unusual sound is what really sells this though, and I would love to hear it in a game at some point. Be a waste if someone didn't use it.
