Serious review for a serious cartoon

This cartoon/production is psychotic. It's the music that does it. I think the low score is due to a lot of people feeling unnerved. I bet if you had submitted this without the song and just some gross splashing sound effects the score would be at least a point higher. Never mind the low score, it's better as is. You made people uncomfortable and that made them angry so they gave you the 0's and 1's.

Like most of your cartoons, the things that happen in this one are ultimately pointless. I don't mean that is a bad thing. There doesn't have to be some profound meaning in everything. Most of your shorts follow a simple structure: we are introduced to some freaks, gross shit happens, the end. But when you add a song it creates the effect of implying meaning or greater importance where there is none. The incongruity between the depicted events and the effort of writing a song confuses people. However crude the music may be it still suggests that the goings on have some significance. And if all that doesn't explain the low score, you can attribute it to most people having no tolerance for incestuous paraphilia humor. I'll stop with the analysis now because really, what we are talking about here is a nasty bumpkin pissing into his daughter's mouth!

One last thing: all the people that rated this poorly, what did they expect from something called 'Piss On Your Daughter'?! "I expected a realistic animation that I could wank to and all I got were these shitty graphics and a crap song! WTF?!"

Pretty foul...

but this doesn't even come close to the horror that was yesterday's pig "almonds" cartoon. You replied to my review on 'Almonds Comes From Pigs' saying, "It's more gross than a son sucking off his dad until his dad's semen explodes inside of his head and kills him?" And I say hell yes, the almonds cartoon was far more disgusting and disturbing than any of your cartoons involving deviant / absurd sexual acts. I'm glad I don't really care for almonds because you have tainted them forever!

But anyway, I thought 'Just Drink It' was alright, though I was a little disappointed that you didn't have him turn on a blender and puree his concoction. Imagine if he had blended it up, took a sip, smacked his lips and said, "Hmm, needs more protein." He then proceeds to jack off into the blender and in the middle of him doing that you jump cut to him outside at the vending stand. Several children are lined up waiting. The one at the front of the line is reaching up to hand him a dollar.

I look forward to tomorrow's submission!

Staggeringly Repugnant

That was unbelievably repulsive, even for you. I honestly feel ill after watching that. I find this more disgusting than any of the coprophagia cartoons you've done. Ok, so his friends watch him "harvest" the "almonds" and yet they still eat them?! I've got a headache I think I need to go lie down. I usually watch your cartoons twice but this one I don't know... this might be the grossest thing you've ever done.

Ever heard of DJ Fresh?

DJ Fresh released the drum and bass album 'Bass Invaders' in 2004.

Has potential but

My review is concerned only with the first section of the track before it takes that hard turn. To write a meaningful review of the entire thing would take more time than I have right now.

Having the chord/melody always hit on 1 of every measure (not counting the lead-in that occasionally plays on 4 before the expected chord on the downbeat of one) became a bit tedious. I know you're mostly going for a simple, laid-back style here, but I would try some notes on beat 3 or maybe even experiment with some chord/melody hits on the upbeats. Your choices as far as the progression of this chord melody are concerned were fine, there's just more to be discovered in between. Maybe start with the first 16 measures of melody only playing on beat one but then gradually increase the complexity by adding notes on other beats in the measure while still maintaining your relaxed, chill vibe. Another criticism, and keep in mind this is all constructive, was the drum pattern itself. A perfectly good core pattern to build your song off of but you should try putting some subtle changes/breaks in the pattern in measure 4 (or measure 3 and 4 if ur feeling wild) right before a shift in the melody. I say melody but it barely qualifies. There was definitely more space in your song for a fluid, complimentary melody comprised of 1/8th notes, hell even some 16th notes if you like. But I know what ur going for so simple is the rule, just don't make it SO simple that it becomes boring. I write music and have worked with sequencers for about 14 years. This was just some friendly criticism. Good luck!

Oh, I just wanted to also say that I dig what you are doing with the ride cymbals in your drum pattern. But again, switching up this pattern would improve the song immensely. Don't settle for merely good. Yes, I know drum n' bass is built on repetition and that repetition is one of its chief characteristics. That said, the great artists know when to break the pattern and prevent it from ever becoming monotonous.
