Ericho's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Falling Down]

This one wasn't as good as some other stuff I've heard lately, but it's still decent. I wish you would have put more variety in it. It's still a good song because it seems like you really wanted to create something that was graceful and flowed well together. The best parts are probably the more technological parts. It gives you a good sense of being in a strange world. I would think with a title like this, it would be more intimidating.

The technological parts seem to be rubbing off on me more and more. It was nice to hear some voices, even if it didn't make much sense. That has absolutely never stopped me from liking a song before. It almost has this sparkling feeling to it. It may not be that well organized, but it's nicely done.

Thank you, I really appreciate your input. I'd been out of the dubstep community for quite some time and this was my re-introduction to the genre, so I know it's rough around the edges. I will work harder on keeping the whole song technological next time I make one! Also, the title, I envisioned a mountain covered in snow, and when the drop came, an avalanche came. That is why I added the vocals in there and titled it Falling Down. Thanks again for your comment.

[Acid Paradox - Progressive]

I truly enjoyed this song, mostly because it had an ambitious tone to it. It seemed like it was also giving off a tone of wonder. It's also nice when you go back and experiment with old stuff. I think the author's comments show a strong understanding of having a story in a song. There may be no words, but you can still visualize something going on in your head. You appreciate the fine effort put into it.

I can just see someone casually pressing buttons and making this song. I hope you had fun making it like we had fun listening to it. It's perhaps not so much of a journey as it is a more relaxing song. It has its climatic moments, but still fairly soothing. I like the different styles used.

[xKore - Last Words (NG Cu]

I've been hitting the jackpot with awesome songs lately! This is another fantastic and flawless song because it appeals to so many different emotions. It just gives off a wonderful sense of being in some marveling universe. There are so many instruments that are being used here so wonderfully. I think the best part is how there's a lot of little sounds going on. It's hard to identify them because there are so many.

It's simply a great song because it really gives a person feelings of hope. I don't know what your intention was, but it worked out wonderfully. The continuity is also great with how it slowly ends. The building up is great as well. Heck, EVERYTHING about this is great and it's a song where you can really put your own story to it. Didn't know it was in a silly pokemon flash.

[Fracuum- Easy]

It only fits that one of my favorite games would have one of my favorite songs. Looking back, I realize that his was one of the reasons why I liked the game so much. I love this music, because it's so powerful. It makes you think of yourself as going deep into some strange place. In the game, that's exactly what happened! What's unbelievable about this is that it really doesn't have any buildup or anything.

There's a little at the beginning, but it just goes off and on so much, it's hard to comphrehend. It flows so perfectly well together. I can never get tired of hearing this masterpiece! It makes you wonder what kind of instruments of music effects were used for it. It's extremely emotion driven. It really tries to get into your head and make you examine what's going on. This should be more popular.

[[Jay T] - Poundcake!]

WOW, now THIS is the audio submission that has a higher score than anything else I have ever seen on this entire website! This has a whopping 4.73! It's not like this is just a couple of people who voted on this, this is a flawless music piece! The voice sounded a lot like Egoraptor, or maybe Doug Walker. Anyway, I love how utterly insane this is. This wasn't one of my favorite parts from the Street Fighter collab, but it's certainly awesome all the same!

I can't even tell if that music is actually being used by you or if that is someone beatboxing. That is how good it is. I think my brother heard a joke about a guy who wanted pound cake. I should have him listen to this! This is pure fun from beginning to end! It's the thing anyway can dance to and have a great time listening to.

[Dynamo Blast]

I thought this was a very nicely put together song! It mostly works so well because it's just very casual and quite free going. I like how you went out and created something so nice. I had no idea this was Megaman music until I read so in the author comments. Of course, now that I know it is, it seems to fit the theme a lot more. This is just a very ambitious song that has lots of movements.

It doesn't sound futuristic as much as it does just plain cool. It seems like something that would be appropriate for a 90s game, which it was. I guess the tone is also one of probably going on a great journey. Most great songs are like that here anyway. You put a really nice style to it. I hope you make more great stuff like this!

[-Toxic sewers-]

This is an awesome song! It mostly works so well because it has a lot of ambition. I like how it just builds itself up so well with all this crazy stuff going on. I appreciate the little tweaks put into everything. It's amazing how much style you can get out of simply three words. It seems like there were all kinds of instruments being used for this, or at least all different kinds of flash programs.

You do credit to us music listeners by having something that can appeal to all kinds of people. The technological sound is great. I didn't even know this was supposed to be about a boss fight. I guess it's just so cool it could be applied to any fantastic thing. It's chock full of wonder and delight in what's going to happen next. This is one you're one of the best song creators, Waterflame.

[Overdrive]

I HONESTLY do not think I have seen a higher rating on ANY audio submission I've ever seen on this website. What makes this so awesome is that you use some real classic Madness music. It's not even so much that you use great old stuff, it's that you use great new stuff. You've come up with a fantastic new style completely unique to your own. It's great to see all the little things that are going on in this. It brings off a great feeling of action.

It's not mean spirited or anything. It's just pure fun. It's a song that never lets you down because it's always around the corner with some new and awesome tune/melody/whatever. I appreciate you trying to be so loyal to the fanbase of this series. It would be perfectly fitting for any great Madness game or cartoon. It's full of ambition, which I love.

[Haywyre - Encompassing]

I really liked this song, probably because I felt it had a lot of ambition. It manages to keep the listener's attention for a good four and a half minutes. I didn't like it how there was just silence for the last ten or so seconds of this. This is a minor complaint and I am very glad to have listened to this. You've heard one technological song, you've heard them all, but this was still unique. It had a nice boogey feeling to it.

It makes you think about the most abstract kinds of instruments that were used for this. There are some parts where it's more soothing. It's the kind of thing you're not expecting. I like the use of piano keys or possibly organ. It's not often you get a song with this much variety.

[-Doomsday-]

That was quite impressive. I know I have heard songs with this name before (or at least something similar to it) but it's still a great song. I think the main reason it works so well is because it knows how to play off this deep voice so well. It's fairly confusing if this is supposed to have a theme or anything. Most likely, it was just random musical greatness. We at Newgrounds are known for that.

For the most part, the tone is a really dark one. It seems to be sending the listener on a long journey of which there is little hope of coming back. There's some really great suspense being held out here. I think I can hear some people screaming at some points. You really know how to create tension too.
