Ericho's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Hell Yes (Titanomachina Theme)]

Great again!

My only complaint about this is that it was a bit too long and could have had more variety. However, I still enjoyed this because it was fun to listen to. It had a really good Middle Eastern feel to it, and that reminds me of how my parents just came back from a trip to Egypt. I like how the deadline is 10/10/10 for this contest you are having. Whatever the entries are, I have a good feeling this will be the best of them all. This is not an action song, but really takes it time slowly to entertain the listener.

[Rayman - Band Land]

Fantastic!

I believe this is, as nearly every reviewer has been saying, a flawless audio submission. I know little about the "Rayman" games, much less the music. You created something really graceful sounding that everyone can enjoy no matter what they are a fan of. It gave me the feeling of being in a forest surrounded by butterflies. That is, it seems like something that could be used in the Brackenwood cartoon. It simply gives off an extremely joyous feeling and just in time for the holidays (for me)!

[Hill Top Cruise]

Very nice

This was a lot of fun to listen to because it had a very casual feeling going for it. I did not even recognize it as being "Sonic The Hedgehog" music at first, but it did seem familiar. I am not sure how it took me this long to review something this old for you. The thing I liked most about how it was how it had a very uplifting feeling to it. It is the kind of music that you want to hear in a light-hearted video game, even in Mario. The use of instruments was very stylistic, unless of course you did not use any of your own.

Short-Factor responds:

I created all the sound you hear, except for the piano samples, and the percussion is a hybrid of my sounds and other samples.

[LP - Plunder the Galaxy]

Epic!

Now this is the sort of song that can make anything good no matter what it is! It has some of the most brilliant combination of instruments I have ever heard of. I could hear something like an organ and a bit of guitar in there. I did not get the feeling of pirates while listening to this, only a feeling of pure awesomeness. I can see why Kirbopher ranked this as his favorite audio submission of all time! There are just so many themes, be they dark, joyous, adventerous, suspenseful, or whatever!

[Blunt Shmokin' Super-er Song]

Epic indeed

Congradulations on being selected by Almightyhans as having the best audio submission of all time! I could not really understand what this even had to do with smoking. Whatever the theme was, it turned out to be something really cool. The thing I visualized in my head was something like a horse race or maybe a location on a plane. It is not really building up to anything, just a really nice action-y song to listen to. It does, however, do a good job of releasing tension at the end so you feel as though you have gone through something.

[Mario Kart Love Song]

Wow, how emotional

It was great fun to hear this because it is one of the best songs I have heard here in a long time. I was thinking it would be a remix of a song from the game. It turned out to be something much better, as it was an original song that had true heart to it. You have such a wonderful singing voice (if that was your voice). I would recommend this to any fan of Mario or really a fan of anything Super Mario-related. While the Mario series is usually goofy, this has a different sort of pleasant tone to it.

[A Zelda-Ocarina O' Time Theme]

Too easy on it?

I guess I am glad I gave this a "4" because everyone else seemed to be voting a lot lower. I thought this was kind of poor, because it was short and had so little variety. I could at least recognize what kind of tune you were trying to imitate. It can get a bit annoying because I think the instrument used for this (was it a flute?) just has little emotion to it. Next time, you should try making it longer and having more things going on in the song. You certainly did a good job of putting this theme in MY head.

[N64 Mario Course]

Not that great

This was kind of a cheesy submission, but I have definitley heard some worse. I think the main problem with this is that it is hard to create something poignant to the listener. It seems like just one instrument was used and there are so many other things that used tons of instruments. I did think this lived up to what you were trying to do. I could recognize the music. It seems like this would have worked better as a video to show off to another website than as an audio submission here.

[Mario Land 1-1 - VLQ]

I am very sorry

You need to improve on this because it was just so hard to understand it. It sounds like this was done with a whistle or something, so next time use much more loud instruments to play. I had trouble listening to it and recognizing it as being like the "Super Mario Bros" series. I love the music used, but this does not seem to do the music justice. I know little about sound programs, but I would suggest you make the sound a bit louder. It was nice of you to make a tribute to a great series, but the song was just not the highest quality.

[My Cool Song]

Glad to increase it!

I don't know why, but it is just really hard for me to actively hate an audio submission here. I am glad I was able to raise it from a 0.74 to a 1.00! The best thing about this was that there was not really any spite or anything dished out by it. I can recognize some of the tunes, and while it was nothing special, certainly nothing terrible either. I suggest that you come up with a better title next time, and try to have more rhythum. Put in a bit of variety by making it longer and different than other submissions.
