Ericho's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Rancid Feast - Shameless Beast]

Those elephants

It is so good to know that you never let go of surrealism, and can always find new stuff with it. I love how you really try to add such a serious rhythum to such a silly song. I will probably never get "Filthy Ramsay" out of my head now. I would love to this being used in a surreal animation or video or whatever. It is amazing just how long you can go on about how dirty an elephant is and put real emotion in it through its silliness. Other highlights include you addding up to the action and then exploding.

[The Puddin' On Your Face]

I have not had pudding in a long time

I think this was not as good as most of your other submissions. I guess I was hoping for something more surreal or more serious. Still, it is an enjoyable song to listen to, because it has a lot going for it as people seldom write songs about pudding. I guess I just like the way you say "Pudding" and how you use your graceful voice. It is definitley the first song I ever heard about dealing with pudding on your face. I guess that when you are that prolific, you have to touch as many bases as you can.

[Fruit Basket]

On a roll!

I first thought this was going to be something related to the "Edible Castle" series. It did have the castle preview thing for it after all. I was amazingly surprised to hear something that would be way better than anything you could make for that series. This has some of the most moving lyrics I have ever heard in a song like this. It is great that you have kind of a silly voice but with such wonderful lyrics. This should be taken on to an account and released as a music video for its great style.

[Cuboy Theme Song]

A radical dear?

As a big fan of the Cube series (as much as anybody else, really) it was a lot of fun to hear this. I was just waiting for Cuboy to appear with his awesome voice. I do not even recall this in being in any of the Cuboy episodes. It is really cool how it tells the origin of Cuboy and the Cube World. I had no idea that it all started with a cube that fell from the sky that suddenly had him and the Cube people appear. I also love how it begins and ends, with the really funny "blooooo, blooooo" sound or whatever that is.

[and Cars, and Meat, Products!]

Surrealism forever!

Are Brady, Cody, and Terry the names of the people who help you with this stuff and your flash work? I liked this as always because it was just so much fun to listen to. It may have gotten a little repetitive, but what matters is that everything is completely random. I kept thinking about how you were referencing your toad series again. It is the kind of song that can get stuck in your head all day. The most memorable parts are probably, "Some say he is stinking rich" or "Some say he has no head".

[Cuboy Masters Music]

Cuboy's my name!

I love listening to this simply because it has Cuboy, who has one of the funniest voices here on Newgrounds. The only downside was that it did get a little repetitive after awhile. It was genius to put in those background voices that sounded more feminine. I find it strange this was not even put with the first episode of Cuboy. Of course, you are the same guy who made it, so I guess you probably do not have to. There also seem to be a variety of instruments being played.

[Busker Branford theme]

Great theme song

I find it amazing that you, or really anybody else, has managed to make a theme song that is roughly 3 minutes long! You even went the extra mile to include nothing but words the entire way! It really gets you anticipated for a great cartoon. You guys have done all different kinds of things and I really appreciate the variety in your songs. Were the lyrics, "Some say he's a tran", as in a transexual/transvestite? I think "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" taught us you can do great songs with that theme.

[Oh, Desperate Dan!]

We all have problems

It was very nice to listen to this because it has a great, authentic style to it. It can actually be taken as a pretty sad song and while you are known for funnier stuff, this works pretty well too. I especially like how it begins with talking about someone cracking your knuckles. My brother did that all the time to me and I got a habit of it all because of him! This makes very good use of how well you can work with repetition. I have little idea who Desperate Dan is, but it is an interesting name at least.

[Whitmore Halloween Poem]

Happy Halloween!

I thought this was a more silly song at first, but then it got more into the style of being scary, as in really scary. My final consensus is that it had a mixture of both. It is interesting to get more familiar with the "Whitemore" series before even seeing a single episode. I think my favorite parts where when he mentioned the lions, tigers, and bears (oh my!). It is a really cool voice and it gives the perfect sense of creepiness. Dang, this is seriously some negative stuff the guy is talking about.

[By Her Side]

Now that was different

Wow, this is probably the most unique song you have ever made. It in no way attempts to be silly or actiony, it is nothing but pure emotion. It was just very unusual to not hear your voice and instead hear such a wonderful female voice by this Maddy Stewart. I am surprised it does not have a higher score. I think it is mostly because people are simply not used to such a serious and different song from you. Good thing I am open to all kinds of things and this was simply a wonderful experiment.
