Danyjel: Funny you be hippocritical yet again. You’re not going to change your genre, yet you expect others to. In your review of Aegis’ metal cover of Sluggion you said to replace the bass with an Electric Flute.
I don’t know how things are in A-hole land, but around here ELECTRIC FLUTE IS NOT METAL.
Reviewing time!
First of all, I didn’t like the slow start. It took about a minute and a half before the actual song began, which is something I don’t like. After listening to the same part over and over with a little drum variation each time, you get to the actual Beach Melody, which is nicely done with those Carribean steeldrums. The melody makes you wanna dance, as it’s supposed to. Nicely done, overall, untill I came to that… ‘interesting’ part in the middle. Although it was a bit too complicated to be “Farmboy’s Hardcore”, it came close. The beat is kicked in as if it was a special weapon trying to demolish everything in the nearby surroundings. Eventually, the horror stops, leaving us with the original melody. It slowly builds down and the outro is just as slow and the intro. Not my style.
Nonetheless, I have promised to give this a review, and so I will. Not my taste, not worth my time. I’m very sorry, guys, but this is just one piece of music from you that I don’t like.

That it is. That it is… Nothing at all has been changed as far as the notes played.
Sample Analysis:

Yes, I think we get it by now. It’s—
“Its just exoticus with all the samples changes and sped up”
Right, fine. But—
“Its just exoticus with all the—”
Shaddap!! [huff, huff] [ahem]
The samples are from other Jazz songs. They sound fine. There’s nothing much else to say here.
Final Analysis:
Well, all and all, I’d have to say that this song is kind of boring whatnot. fod? What do you have to say?
“Its just exoticus with all the samples changes and sped up”
And with that, we’re out.

[Rating (2) clearance. Reviews such as this are unacceptable. You are supposed to write a review, not quote it and add “i agree k”. Do not do this again. ~Cooba]
Yay! Pollutus!!
Introduction:
What do you think of when you think about Jazz Jackrabbit for the GBA? Is it fun gameplay? A good story? Or maybe awesomely awesome music? What’s that? None of the above?! Well… Maybe this will change your mind about its music. Then again, maybe it won’t.
Song Analysis:
IT’S…TOO…LOUD!! Dear lord, man! Towards the middle and end, it actually starts to crackle and buzz because you cranked it up so loud!
Anyhoo… If there was one thing I could say about this track outright, is that this really…brings the tainted atmosphere and polluted areas of Pollutus to life. While the GBA track was kind of lightweight and only just barely fitting to the area, this track is dark, deep, and I dare say even cold and metallic. Just like it should be.
The lyrics in the start don’t really add much, but they don’t take away anything, either. I can’t tell what they’re saying, but I don’t think it matters much either way.
Sample Analysis:
Like I said, areas of the song are a little too loud, but that’s probably more your fault(if you amplified it) than the sample, which sound good seperate, and terrific together.
Final Analysis:
All and all, this hollow and ambient piece of music makes Pollutus seem far, far more deadly and all the more ominous than its original GBA predecessor. I can only hope more GBA remixes and arrangements like this come out.
Score: 7.2
“I Can Do Basic Math!” Points: 0.3
Total Score: 7.5
Recommendation?:
Absolutely. Especially if you didn’t like the original Jazz Jackrabbit GBA soundtrack. This will definately make you think twice.

Dude. Use, like… I dunno. Anything else but RapidShare. I think even YouSendIt might be a better idea. Anyway…
Introduction:
Is bigger truly better? Does size matter? Can a 6MB file that’s 6.5 minutes long be all that it can be before 6AM, or will it have to be eighty-sixed with a six-shooter then deep-sixed in six seperate lakes? What does that even mean?! Read on…
Song Analysis:
What the Heck is this? This doesn’t seem to sound anything like any Jazz Jackrabbit song I’ve ever heard. Yes, the unused Menu Theme loop is in there, but for the most part, this is just generic dance music. Not even good dance music at that. Where’s the meat? It’s all drums and bassline. That’s boring. It needs lyrics.
Sample Analysis:
All the samples sound just fine to me. Just some general dance samples, drums, “pops,” synths, and basslines.
Final Analysis:
This…isn’t Jazz Jackrabbit, no matter how many samples you put into it. I think everyone’s just too polite(or otherwise) to point this fact out. As such, I’m not going to rate it. If I were to rate it, however, I’d probably give it a 4.7 due to the fact it’s so bland. Like unseasoned ground beef.
Score: N/A(Not a Jazz File)

Introduction:
Weighing in at an astonishing and highly unnecessary 10MB, is this 7.5 minute goliath truly worth the time it took to collaborate? Find out…now!
Song Analysis:
Some sections of the song sound like “Beach Bunny!,” such as the third section around 3:24. Some sections sound original. Some other sections take from other Jazz Jackrabbit songs, such as “Diamondus”.
And then around 5:28, things really speed up to about 2.5 the song’s normal speed. Why? I don’t know. It doesn’t add a thing to the song.
Going back for a moment, the beginning of this song reminds me of some 80s music. Specifically “Rhythm of the Night” by Debarge. Kind’a fun memorabilia there, actually. Whether it was intentional or not, I’ll probably never know, but it sounds fairly good and helps make this song a bit of a walk away from being “Beach Bunny! Arranged”.
Unfortunately, that seems to be all this song really has going for it, other than the beat breakdowns which seperate the few sections of the song quite nicely.
Sample Analysis:
The original “Beach Bunny!” samples with some generic “dance drums” thrown in to give this mammoth some moves.
Final Analysis:
Well, I don’t know how long this seven-and-a-half piece of work took to make, but it sounds like some decent work went into it. Still, it’s pretty average, far larger than it needs to be(C’mon! Even Modules are only Internet MP3 quality! Was 192Kbps really necessary?), and druges on a bit, despite the attempts to keep it fresh all throughout.
Score: 4.8
“Man, I Feel Old Now” Points: -0.3
Total Score: 4.5
Recommendation?:
It’s kind of groovy, but listening to it more than once might not be a good idea. So…no.
Edit:
My math skills need work. Scoring fixed.

Introduction:
Can the Bonus Track and Tubelectric from Jazz Jackrabbit co-exist in harmony?! Well, you’re asking in the wrong song. Find out why in this review.
Song Analysis:
The standard Jazz “Bonus” tune with a couple samples from Tubelectric. Nothing new has been added, but parts of the song have been rearranged.
Sample Analysis:
This is JJS. All Jazz Jackrabbit samples…all the time. It seems to be the bread-and-butter of aspiring Jazz musicians. So…no real comments here.
Final Analysis:
Ya can’t blame a guy for trying, I don’t guess. It’s not a bad song by any rights, but it may as well be an original Jazz Jackrabbit MOD file. By copying and pasting Patterns from either song as well as swapping and mixing samples from both, this song was born. And boring. But at least it’s not as bad as some of the things I’ve reviewed. But all and all, it’s nothing special.
Score: 5.0
“Creativity(or Lack There-Of)” Points: -1.5
Total Score: 3.5
Recommendation?:
Sure. Why not? Everyone loves Jazz Jackrabbit‘s original soundtrack.

“Dr Lithius” or “LithiuServer” on Jazz 2
Introduction:
Now this is an extremely funky rendition of “Hell Freezes Over” which sounds as though it has bits of “Jazz Be [Darned]” thrown in for good measure. So let’s measure how good…or bad this is.
Song Analysis:
As far as I can tell, this sounds like what you’d get if you merged Jazz and Funk.(…no, I don’t mean “Junk”.) In fact, it reminds me quite heavily of “Awakening Road” from the “Rockman X Arranged” soundtrack.(Which was basically Rockman X music jazzified.) The song itself seems like it has bits and pieces of “Jazz Be [Darned]” thrown in just for kicks. Either that, or I need to listen to “Hell Freezes Over” more closely.
The arrangement is more or less recognizable, but I sincerely doubt it could sound any better than it does even if it relied more heavily on the original track for its notes and whatnot.
Sample Analysis:
There’s no dirty samples here whatsoever. Lots of awesome guitars of varying types(which I might swipe later [shifty eyes]) and some really nice drum samples as well. Everything sounds terrific together and not a single note sounds out of whack or out of tune.
Final Analysis:
All and all, it’s a damned fine track that any Jazz(or Jazz) lover would appreciate fully. There are so many good things I could be saying about this, but words fail me. Utterly. There is no reason not to give this piece full marks. At all. It fades in wonderfully, loops perfectly, and is absolutely great to listen to. I’m not entirely sure it would work as level music, but I can’t see why not. This is definately going on my MP3 player next time I shift things around.
Score: 9.0
“I Can’t Think of Any Reason Not to Give This a 10.0” Points: 1.0
Total Score: 10.0
Recommendation?:
Yea, verily. Download this and listen to it if you haven’t yet. You will totally not regret it.
Notice of Mention:
Congratulations on getting the very first 10 I’ve ever given out! The sad thing is now I’m going to expect this kind of quality from you with everything you make. XD

Very well done, well done. The song has the feel of Labrat with a tiwst. The song tho gets a bit slow in the middle, and it seems to repeat alot. But the song also has a groove that gets the listiner’s attantion fast. Plus the song repeats so you can use it in levels.
Overall well done.
I recommend the Download of this song if you need to make a good furture setting level.

So-so. The spikes are good placed. The enemies are also not very bad, but the boss-placement is abomiable. However, the first of the two bosses is OK, but the final boss…? (Toby) It is much too hard to beat him and the level doesn’t end automatically after you’ve beated him. A better selfmade final boss is the Spike Machine, created by Gus in the episode ‘Flashback: Outta dis world’.

Since my first rating was cleared, I will try it again now.
The first thing I noticed was the tileset. It hasn’t been used much, so that’s a positive thing. The eyecandy is decent, maybe even good, though that isn’t too hard with this tileset. I like especially the background – it fits the level (and sometimes the foreground). He used all layers really well.
It’s nice that this level has three carrots, it avoids camping. The warp targets are at good places, so they aren’t that campable. I don’t like the ‘hook-warp’. When I tried the level out, I got many times warped by accident. That brings me to the bases. Especially the right base is at a questionable place. It’s harder to reach and when you’re at that base, your moves will be very predictable for the opponent. Actually, the same counts (maybe a bit less) for the other base.
Well, the ammo fits the level. The placement isn’t really good, or at least – I don’t like it. You just pick it up when you’re running around – which isn’t a positive thing imo – shapes would have been better. On the other side is the PU-placement really well, so good job for that.
The level isn’t that big, but it definitely feels so. I don’t like the combination of all the platforms combined with the large open spaces (too large imo). The flow is well, you can walk properly at all places.
I won’t give a download recommendation, just because I’m a bit indifferent about this level. It’s a level that’s nice to play once in a while probably, so well, you might have a look and maybe you like it.
Final rating: 6.2
GREAT! i fused both episodes in 1 (invasion of deserto and rebirth of evil). I can´t wait to the 3rd part to complete my colection (at least there will be a 4th part).
I feel the history as I am the protagonist. Is GREAT! , yes you are GREAT!. DOWNLOAD IT NOW!!!!
