Ericho's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[FF7Battle(Final)-Metaljonus]

Some of the best music

I am familiar with Final Fantasy VII music, so it was great to hear a remix. What matters is that you do not try to deviate that far from the actual content, but still create something great in its own right. I especially liked the more cheery music toward the end that was updated. As good as it is, I can understand why it would be used for a final battle. I am so glad you spent so much time on your guitars and bass on this as it really shows. It is not appropriate for just boss music, but really any epic thing.

Thx!

[ParagonX9 - Infiltration]

I remember this!

ParagonX9 never fails in giving you the best songs out there, or at least the most popular. I love this song, and my only complaint is that it did get a little repetitive. I still like this because it has so much heart as well as fury to it. It is a great tale of ambition especially when you start hearing the "Go" at 0:51. It has so much going for it as we can easily see it can apply itself to a lot of action things! Everything here just flows so well. It is also great how in the middle you do a brief pause and then go back.

[Danger Ahead]

It was perfect!

Congradulations on getting a song that was used in 59 entries! As I was obviously familiar with it, it is really cool to see its entirety in its raw form. It does not limit itself to just being about bosses, but can instead be thought of as suitable for any great action/adventure type of thing. There is so much ambition in something that is so short! I never get tired of hearing it, even if it has become used a little too much. You can really appreciate the individual beats used in this, and how they all matter.

[Sleeping Beauty]

Sleeping Beauty?

I had little idea this was used in "Manhattan Project" as it is such a great song you would think I would remember it. I did not understand the title at all, as the song is anything but sleeping music. Well, I guess it was in the beginning with the better music, but it really turned into an action song later on. It was a completely relentless onslaught! I guess this song made the game easier for me to get through as I beat it after awhile. Thank you for creating something with tons of action in it (sounds at least).

I had in mind a scene in which a character enters a mysterious and dark cave with an ominous feeling to it. Little did the character know that the cave belonged to a monstrous beast. Then as the character awakens the monster, it went on a rampage.

And I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm currently writing a new epic orchestral track, I'll PM you when I finish it (hopefully soon) :D

Thanks for the review once again.

[Rose At Nightfall]

Molotov is below!

This was a fantastic audio submission because it was truly unique and original in everything it did. Some of the stuff used made up some of my favorite submissions on this website! It has an absolutely perfect sense of adventure for it as well as wonder. It is not so much an epic journey as it is a more in-your-face attitude with so many things going on at once! Now that I understand the song more, I can see why this title was used. It makes you feel victorious over a big battle.

[Thizz n FX]

Quite nice

I really like this one because it has such a great spirit to it full of wonder and ambition. I believe "fruity" is a kind of program to use, so at least it was not derogative of gay people. I can see why it is so high rated, but not why it has not been more popular. It sounds to me almost like it is trying to give off the feeling of some big instrument in some way I don't understand. I could have sworn I heard some voices in there after awhile. It does not work with building things up, but has the same tension the whole way through.

[Kirb O'Chantey]

I just turned 21

I would know from you that you always have a good sense of humor in most of your stuff. I was a little disappointed at first because this did not seem to be from a video game. I only played the third entry in the original Donkey Kong series. You still manage to keep your humorous voice and it is great you described yourself as being five guys. It must be funny to simply record your voice over your voice over and over. While not one of my favorites from you, it was still a pretty funny thing to listen to.

[Kirb-omb Battlepher]

Goes again!

While I did not really play "Super Mario 64" that much when I was a kid (or at all) I am familiar with the music. I love this sound because it is so authentic to the style. I keep thinking that it was made with someone else because of the multiple voices, but I can tell it is you the whole way through. It is amazing how many ways you can use the term "da da", or is it "ba ba" here? Not much else to say, only that this seems like something you would create. I can just imagine Mario in SM64 jumping around to this.

[Hitler And His Talking Vagina]

Vagina!

I remember first hearing (and seeing) this on one of your live-action videos. It was so funny because it was the most random thing I had ever seen! Seeing as how it was very short, it is hard to love this a lot, but at least it works as an infinite loop. If Hitler has a talking vagina, does that mean Hitler is not a man at all? Or does he perhaps have a penis who has dominance over the talking vagina somehow? You would be surprised at how much depth something as silly as this could make you think of.

[Cally's Theme]

Quite different

You are generally thought of as being a really goofy guy here on Newgrounds, but this was a great example of being serious. It was not even that serious, but was definitley something different from you. Unfortunately, I did not understand how it was supposed to be like an 80s horror movie at all. It seemed a lot more like something from an 80s magic kid's movie. To me, the main tone of it was grace and beauty. At least you managed to show off your true skills as someone who works with variety.
