Ericho's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Tarboy OST - Two's a Part]

Strange but great

When I saw the word "Tarboy" in the title, I was expecting something really epic and amazing. I guess I was right on only the second part, as I do not recall hearing anything like this in the Tarboy cartoon. Perhaps the most critically acclaimed submission of all time does deserve a great song. I was thinking more of film noir or a night club when I was listening to this. While I do not understand its relevance to "Tarboy" it has great lyrics and the ryhmes work together really well. It is an extremely good voice authentic to the classic movie feel.

[Orchestral Theme 1]

Death match?

This is another audio submission that works really well because it tries to apply itself to various scenarios. This one was focused more on building more tension, and I think I even like it a little more. It's good to hear more action going on, but still not focusing so much on building up to something great. It has a more fast-paced style than #2, which makes it more exciting, of course. I like the little chants that go near the end. It seems a lot like generic sounds coming from gnomes or trolls in fantasy.

[Orchestral Theme 2]

Great music

It seemed like you were really striving towards something that could be used in all different kinds of things. I could easily imagine this being used by JAZZA (he favorited this, after all). Congradulations on coming up with something that works so well. This one did not create the feeling of building up to something, because it seemed really spread out in its battle emotion. What I mean is, it could be used towards the beginning of a battle or perhaps during it. It also has a nice eerie feeling to it.

Castlevania?

It was interesting to see yet another unique audio submission from you. It seems like you are the kind of guy who really experiments with everything that he works in. I was surprised to find out this was a remix of Castlevania music. I can barely understand what is being said, only stuff about cash and jelly. While it was not the catchiest, it certainly fit your standard of being crazy. I like how you enunciate your voice here. I can really enjoy this because I can just take note of the parts that are comprehensible.

Pretty good

This is a nice song to listen to because it has a really soft tone to it. While it was not the most creative thing you have ever made, it still manages to be pretty satisfying. I am glad to be the first person to review this and many of your other great audio submissions. It is hard to tell what kind of instruments were used for it, but a listener should not waste his or her time talking about that. It almost seemed like the sound of something dripping. There were a lot of parts where the notes seem to protrude out.

It does sound like Crash Bandicoot

This is one of the best audio submissions you have put here in awhile. It seemed a lot like you were trying to imitate the classic form of jazz. You know, if you really want to, you can just make your own game (you're a great programmer, you could do it) and use this music. I can see it being used in a jungle or any adventure type game. It has a very soft beat to it and can even come off as a bit relaxing. It was a bit hard to find a really consistent beat, but the overall great use of music makes up for it.

Better

This was better than your previous song because it just had a more likeable tune, I suppose. It did make the mistake of being a bit too repetitive again, but there have been far worse. This one seems to focus a lot more on surrealism, which is the main thing I love you for. It almost seems like it could be used as the opening for "The X-Files" or something. I believe the TF stands for "Team Fortress". At least this was a bit shorter and it probably did have a little bit more variety to it than the last one.

Up yo butt?

What saves this is how fun is to listen to in its own right. The main problem is that it seems like it really should have more variety going on, as it is basically the same thing over and over. I guess we will never get tired of making jokes about sticking things up your butt. It just seemed a bit weird that this went on for three minutes with so little variety. Still, these kinds of things are simply funny by nature (wow, I need to grow up). The robotic voice is pretty funny given the silly things he is saying.

[[TForm] Windmill of Time]

Very ambitious

I really liked listening to this and I would think I would be more familiar with it. It is not that I have played that Zelda game, it is just that video game music remixes are so popular here. It seemed more like you were imitating a frog game. It was definitley a unique song because you really had no idea what was going to happen next, in terms of what tune. It also did well in consistently its tone. While there was not that much variety, the fact that it was very creative really gives it a great score.

You know how to make an impact

While only being 17 seconds long, this song serves its purpose very well. I could easily see this as the intro music for some Street Fighter like game or something. It has a very stern melody and it knows how to take its time building up, even if that time is short. It also appears to start with a technological theme but then goes to more basic music. By "basic", I mean stuff you think of when you think of video game music. It is a fun song (well, it is too short to be a song anyway) to listen to and all.
