Ericho's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Smooth Criminal (Orchestral?)]

As someone who's a big fan of Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal", I love this! I normally wouldn't care for a song if the lyrics were taken out. It's just that the tune is so familiar, I recognize it instantly. I'm glad to have come across something so good. Yeah, I never understood that Michael Jackson Sonic thing. I heard it was, for the most part, an urban legend.

It does a wonderful job of being faithful to the original song. Well, I don't know much about hacks. It even kind of sounds more like something from Zelda. I've just been listening to those songs so much recently. I can still hear the Sonic in it. Great you made this the same year he died!

[Zelda TP - Hyrule Field (NES)]

I don't think I've seen any of the cartoons that feature this. It's a good song in itself. I personally didn't find it that good. I guess it might be because at this point, I just know everything about Zelda music. I still give you props for making a good song. It's quite ambitious.

I am not quite familiar with Twilight Princess. Reminds me of the recent developments in MLPFIM. It certainly sounds like something from a game. It even sounds more sprite like. It's hard not to like this music.

[The Lost Woods]

It seems like I would have heard this song before. I guess I'm just so used to Zelda music, it's hard to tell. I wish I had played Ocarina of Time as a kid! It was even the highest rated video game ever! I really did appreciate how well paced it was. It worked well for its length.

I was a little disappointed at first that this wasn't that long. I now like it much more. It really does change in tone. It starts off as a soft adventure, but then it gets even softer. Even with the same rate, I noticed the change.

brujeria responds:

I made a softer version of it if you're down to listen to that.

[-YRX- Color This World]

I don't quite remember this song. It must be a remix of something else. Uh, happy very belated Madness Day! I love how this starts off so calm, but then becomes more adventurous. The introduction of the clapping hands is nice too. I would expect something like this for a Madness cartoon.

It's just that, well, it's more graceful than most of its kind. That certainly makes it unique. I think there's a piano being played. It has a fairly good amount of variety. That makes it ambituous.

YouriX responds:

This is actually a original song of mine! I made it for my maddness animation. Anyways i made alot of songs even i sometimes forget. Hahah, glad you enjoyed my song ;)

[The Legend Of Zelda - SOS]

Another graceful and wonderful song! Again, it's easy to tell the Zelda influence. They really have had a lot of great music over the years. I can definitely hear some trumpets in there. Granted, I don't know if that's you or the original song. Yeah, I guess real life trumpets weren't used in this.

The harp seems to be playing too. It's great to listen to something so graceful. It's even a little triumphant. By that, I mean it has more adventure. The length is great too.

[The Ballad of The Windfis]

It's been so long since I've heard a song as great as this! What really impresses me is how peaceful it is. I can recognize Zelda music now. This is a wonderful take on it. It really does seem like a lullaby, especially in the beginning. Granted, we don't really use those as adults.

It's good to know this has a high rating. I'm quite impressed just how soft it is. There doesn't need to be a sense of adventure or anything. Well, maybe a little. It's just a wonderful calming song. We need more stuff like this here.

[Funky]

As my final review of your work, I didn't find this to be one of your best. I guess I was just hoping for something with more quality. It's nice you stopped making loops for once. I can hear some jazz instruments there. The saxophone, maybe? I finally remembered the name of that instrument.

You know how to keep it stylized. This didn't have much of a tune of a video game. It was more of just something made for the computer. I guess all of these are technically like that. The beat is good and I hope you release more stuff here to Newgrounds!

[Chiptune Lazy]

Here's another song that I find to be just decent. I am kind of getting tired of your stuff. Of course, it is spread out more than I think. I just happen to be listening to them all at once. I think this is a pretty unique song. I think the other lazy one you did was better.

It has a nice, soft melody to it. I guess it is kind of like video games now that I think about it. I do think you should make more stuff than loops. They are a bit too short. They are still fine.

[Fighting Time]

Yet another great loop from you! Is it really the only stuff you work on here? I love how it keeps itself up as a loop. Again, I can't tell when it ends or beings after awhile! I was thinking of that "South Park" episode. You know, "Good Times With Weapons"?

It just seems like something that would be from that episode. You show great vision. I can tell it's a guitar here. Well, the "rock" in the name made it pretty obvious. I think this is one of your best.

[Lazy Loop]

I thought this song was decent. It does fit the bill of sounding lazy. I guess with the length, I feel you could have done more with it. I guess I was thinking of something more with this length. It's still a good song. I think I can actually remember this from the submission.

It is pretty nice how relaxing it is. It doesn't need to be too flashy. I like the bouncy tune. The images shown on the audio seem to be changing. It's a bit too repetitive.
