Ericho's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[No Forks]

Those forks

This is one of my favorite songs from you, because it is just so amazingly insane! You guys even pointed out yourself that the song was meant to be random. As a fan of things like animutation, I also enjoy surreal stuff such as in the form of music. It was also great to include those author's comments, as they are as surreal as the song. I love how you seem to make all your own sound effects (shika wow) over and over. There are just so many random things but it still has organization.

[A Child's War]

A great experiment!

I know it is always a good idea for my favorite people here on Newgrounds to experiment with things. This managed to really work because it changes in tone so quickly. I sincerely thought that it was going to be a Christmas themed song at first! The song seems to fit the title as it really does have innocence and violence in the same thing. I doubt it has a lot of deeper significance, but I appreciate all the hard work put into it. I think it may be the most different from any other song you have made.

[Fat People Don't Budge]

Get off me!

I love this because it clearly addresses the problem that so many people in American have. I am pretty certain that the statistic about 35% being obese is true. The cool thing is that it manages to have such an upbeat style about a dire problem. I also love how it is one of the few songs I have listened to here that I can really dance. Granted, with such a short headphone set that is difficult, but it is the thought that counts. There are so many differientating tones out there it is great for variety.

[the "Roy" theme song]

Is the series out?

I liked this because it had such a great spirit to it and it is simply perfect for an animated series. It is hard to recommend something that is so short, but what is there is so good it is hard for you to really care. It wonderfully shows off how great it is to have access to great voices. It almost sounded as though he was saying, "Drinking pork all day" or something. That would go along with the next line of eating bacon all day. I just wish that I was able to live on my own, like this Roy guy.

[We Love You Calderbank]

Poor Calderbank

I like this song, although I find it strange that it was not included to be part of another cartoon or anything. The best part about this is how cool the theme lyrics are, especially with how well they sync together. I was kind of sad when the song ended! This may be the most humor oriented audio flash you have made, but also the most enjoyable. It works hard not to focus on repetition, but instead just for good lyrics. The song makes me sad for Calderbank, even though the singers do not seem to care for him much.

[Sassafras Roots (Suede Feelin)]

Where's the sassafras?

This was really interesting, because you guys tried a much goofier song than usual. It even did not come off to me as being that goofy, as it did silly. It was a little hard to understand what they were saying, but that is inevitable in some songs. It seems like the sort of song you would make on a nice summer's evening. While it was made in Spring, I am glad I managed to listen to it here in Summer. Overall, it gives a very comforting feeling even if the title did not seem to suit the song.

[RIP Whitmore]

Who?

I am glad I looked at some of your flashes before I went into this, as I had little idea as to who "Whitmore" was supposed to be. I guess because I am a "Lost" fan, I was thinking of Charles Widmore. It is great how you keep up the humility of the tone in your songs. While it may come off as silly to some people, it was pretty melodramatic to me. My only complaint is that I did not like it how there was a bunch of people saying, "He's dead" at the end. May this wonderful frog rest in peace.

[Microwaveable Meal]

I would know

It is quite interesting that you are talking about a microwaveable meal because it is something that everybody can associate themselves with. Is there anybody here who has seriously never had one of those? I liked this mostly because it was really fun with those basic lyrics. What makes it into a great song is the emotion put into the voices. How many people are helping you with these songs anyway? Everything syncs up very well, including the instruments and how it maintains a constant beat.

[Hit Me Baby]

A strange story

The strange thing is that I kept hearing that Britney Spears songs (especially old ones) were really bad. When I actually heard a song like this in is rawest form, I was actually quite impressed. Unfortunately, it does make this song a little less enjoyable. It is just a song that should be sang by a woman and not by men. It is still nice to listen to because it throws in some good original music, especially with the guitar. You guys are loyal to the original song and it was nice how this was not a parody or anything.

[I'm Gonna Drink (500 Pints)]

Quite amazing

I do not hear a lot of drinking songs on Newgrounds or at all, really, so it was quite an experience to listen to all of this. I had not even heard of the song you were parodying. It really seems like something that was recorded in a professional studio and not just something made indepently! I would love to see a music video to this. Drinking is such a big part of some people's lives, so I am glad we are expressing our lives in such a nice manner. It is not trying to stereotype anyone, just give a story of your life.
