Ericho's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Madness Day - Poncho Circus]

Well, it is different

This was certainly fun to listen to because it seemed to be WAY different than what I would expect for a Madness song. I guess this might have worked better if the tone tried to be for something else. What is good is that it gives off a pretty fun tune. The entire thing starts out being chaotic, but I felt that it ended this in favor of more light-hearted stuff. Given how crazy Madness Combat is, this could still be used for it. I hope you have a great Madness Day 2010 and have fun with your music!

[-YRX-MindChambersMadness]

Good volume

This was a really fun thing to listen to because you really did try to take off on MindChamber's best stuff. It even manages to be great in its own, as after awhile it was hard for me to recognize it as a style of his. I do not like it hot it seems to wait so long to start up again. I can easily decipher the tone of this given what it was made for. The best part was in the beginning where the sound seemed to invert itself. The tone seemed to be more ambitious than eerie as many Madness songs are.

Yo thanks for the review. Did all i could do. Also a thats avery nice review by the way :)

[[dj-Jo] Condemned Clown]

How early!

It is great that so many people are making Madness Combat songs long before this even comes out. It is funny to just guess what flash will have a song that I am reviewing. I think this one did not seem to focus so much on action as it did ambition. There is nothing wrong with that, and I actually think it worked out very well for itself. I could not understand the theme of a clown until you mentioned what it was for. I can certainly imagine a clown as insane as Tricky having this as a theme.

[==(Perfect Morning)==]

Great job!

Now this is another song that works so well because it truly believes in what it represents. I am not even sure what it represents because it really experiments with a lot of styles. When you have a song here that long, that really is the best thing to do. There were just so many different emotions tied on this. It seemed like it had music inspired by "Sesame Street" at one point and "James Bond" the next. Of course, it really takes off around the 2:15 mark when it becomes more exciting.

[Heat Death]

Now that is cool

I myself have looked at the page there titled "The Ultimate Fate Of The Universe". I loved this song because it really spoke to me about what it will be like when it all ends. The thing is, I did not find this as being particularly scary or violent. If anything else, it spoke to me a lot more on a spiritual level. It makes us think about what our place in the Universe is and what the place of the Universe is itself. This was easy to recognize the piano notes as it reminds me of my old days playing it.

[Distraught Subconscience]

Very well done

I was impressed by this because it really went out to set a style of its own. It seemed to have an ambitious tone to it and a great sense of adventure. It is weird how it came out at Christmas time, even though it has nothing to do with Christmas. This appears to be something that would be more suited for Robot Day. I could almost hear some shades of David Hasselhoff's "Knight Rider" in there. It also came as being really mysterious or going to unknown territory or something like that.

Dungeecount responds:

Thanks :D Yeah people keep describing all of my work that way XD not just my music. I think you're the first person to take note of when this came out. If I had known about Robot Day, I would have made something. But I never heard of head or tail of it until it came! :( was NOT pleased.... It never did have anything to do with Christmas, it was just coincidental and I wanted to make something before the year was out. I think what surprises me most about this is the fact that I STILL want to listen to it every day, usually I just get really freaking sick of hearing my music over and over again after making it. I might make a remix, I've been thinking about it.
-Thanks for your review :D I must have really felt like typing today, this is a novel compared to my other responses XD

[{Dj-L} Hardstyle Era]

It takes awhile

The problem I have with this is that it does take awhile to get good. Half of it is pretty repetitive and not that great. It was of course really neat to hear it take off after awhile and it was interesting because you actually seemed to use the same style as the previous part, only sped-up. Overall, it could have been better paced, but I would recommend it. It was pretty hard to come up with the theme of this as it seemed like you were mixing themes a little. The best parts are probably the more forceful parts.

[Artificial Messiah]

Madness Day of this year?

It seems like this might have been more suited for Robot Day of this year. The title suggests it is about robotics given the nature of artificialness, but it also applies to Madness Combat quite well. I especially like how this would make an excellent song for a Madness flash. I can just see Hank going around shooting everybody with this around. It gives out a real sense of adventure that we at Newgrounds are so used to. It would also be a great theme for Jebus (or Jesus if that is what he is supposed to be called).

[Optimus Prime (Remix/Preview)]

My name is Optimus Prime

I think Peter Cullen has one of the best voices for an animated character, even though I actually never watched the "Transformers" cartoon. I do kind of wish that you had used some more sound clips. It is still good to listen to, because the melody really suits his character. If only you had waited until Robot Day to submit this. It seemed to me that the main theme of this was suspense or just being threatening. That certainly fits the author comments and it would be great to make this into a bigger song.

[Fight For You (Dubstep)]

Not her?

This sounds exactly like something that Bjork would make, but it is by something completely different named Morgan Page! It gave me a really good and ambitious feeling. I do not think I have heard the original song. You definitley made this more fun to listen to than it probably was before. The best parts are probably the strong sounds that seem like something going distorted, I can't put my finger on it. It seems like Page's grace contradicts with the more jarring parts of the song like that.
