Ericho's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[CKC - Avatar]

Always good!

I think this song is consistently enjoyable throughout the entire run. It really takes a different turn in the first thirty or so seconds and then it does it again in the last 30 seconds. I am not quite sure which "Avatar" you are referring to. Hearing it a second time, I can much better understand how it has a lot of variety to it. It is a very good song, as it contains a very virtuous tone and a good sense of adventure and ambition. It was interesting to be introduced to a new style, especially one that is so good.

CKC2009 responds:

not the movie. but the actual definition of avatar.. :) but it does suit the movie.

[Enzoa - Cellular (MAC)]

How surprising!

I can in fact see why Tom Fulp chose this as his favorite audio submission of all time! While it is very short, what matters is that it is very effective in its music. It seems like something that would be a ringtone, but it would be too ironic to use it as that. I also like the voices in this one, especially the "wa, wa, pick up the phone" that goes on sometimes. While I am hearing it over and over, it still does not sound repetitive to me. It is definitley something that gets you hooked in because of how crazy it is.

[Chikaboom [box-killa]]

Very cool

I was impressed at how good this song turned out to be. While not the longest song, it did do a good job of holding my interest for four minutes. I could have sworn that I heard this song being used somewhere else, but apparently no one has used it here. I love this song because it brings so many styles. In the middle, I almost thought it was trying to imitate music from "Sonic The Hedgehog". It had its light parts, its dark parts, and I recognized the piano, so it all wove together to make a good song overall.

[My Name is Tom]

The one and only Tom Fulp!

I found it just ridiculous that you had only made one audio submission, as you are the guy who created it. It is so great to just have you do anything on the audio portal, even if it is not much. I will never forget how you raised the number of favorites just after I sent a request. I guess I have become popular in my own way here on Newgrounds. It was very enjoyable to hear just how goofy you can be. I believe that you did use your own voice for all of these sounds and you have a darn good voice for being able to do all this!

[Never ending Battle]

Great!

At first I was thinking this was just going to be the same as that famous music piece that everybody is familiar with, but it turned out to be something original! It helps that the original music is so good you can never go wrong with it. It does you the feeling of a never ending battle. I think the best effect might be the bells chiming. They give off the feeling off fighting near a church or a great battle at least. I also love how it really gradually goes out to fading at the very end of the song.

[If I had Lungs]

A masterpiece

This is one of the greatest songs I have heard in awhile, meaning I like it a lot (lol)! Few songs are able to be this long and keep the listener's attention the entire time. It just gets better as it goes on, especially at around the halfway point. It is an interesting study into our own psyches and what goes into our daily routines. The differnet kinds of instruments used at 2:02 are also a great turning point. You have made a really emotional song, but have not tried to make it whiny or in anyway silly.

[GTA - American Titties]

Pretty funny

I would have to give this a positive review simply because I am too a fan of big American t*tties, or really any t*tties. It was not intended to be anything artsy, just something really silly. That is probably what most of the stuff on Newgrounds is anyway! It was clever to put this into the format of an actual song, as it does have a good beat. I think its best points are in the latter part where there are more voices. I also like that "uh" sound that also comes through the latter part of the song.

[Rig - Sentient Machines SFX]

That is mechanical

It is harder for me to write a review for submissions that are so short and are not even songs. I can not blame you because you at least tried to make something original. In fact, I can see this type of sound being made into remixes and stuff. It does a really good job of showing what you would expect to hear from a sentient machine. It might even be popular as a sound effect used in a game, like with M-Bot. It is not even an irritating sound, as it is at least something you can get used to hearing.

Rig responds:

Hey thanks, glad you think they work well :)

[[KOA] - Introduction]

Good for ghetto

I do in fact find it hard to believe that you actually managed to cram all of that into one minute. This is in fact a good quality, because it shows how skilled you are with rhyming. The song consistently keeps up its pace and that is hard to do in such a hard time. My only complaint is that it does come off as being a little silly so fast. It definitley has enough good qualities in it to recommend. It is interesting just by the starting music with the really good use of string instruments and throughout.
