Ericho's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fireflies (Owl City) - Cover]

A great song

What really helps is that this is such an awesome song to begin with on source material! I love your voice in this and think it is among your best work. I have listened to this song and pretty much every other popular song. I was always trying to figure out the hidden meaning in the song. It is really a study in philosophy when you really get down to what the lyrics mean. I guess it might mean that there are plenty of beautiful things in our life and we do have significance after all.

[Grim Grinning Ghosts (Rem]

Great!!

At first, I was seriously expecting this to be something like from a toy box or something, but it turned out to be great! I simply love the effort that was put into this. It seemed like a spooky Halloween song at first, but it also seemed to have like Disco in it or something. I love the authentic laughing voices. It is truly a roller coaster of a ride in that it gives you chills, but also seems to have a sense of humor. It has an almost technological beat to it so it is basically something for everyone!

[Garden Party]

It's goofy!

I really liked listening to this song and I am glad that it has been used in literally dozens of entries. I remember it first being used in a cartoon by Eddsworld. It is such a silly and goofy song that it has no point except to appear in something really goofy and silly. It just sounds like the kind of thing that would be used in an old Looney Tunes cartoon. It works well in its minute length and I also like how it seems to switch over at the beginning. I can just imagine the kind of instruments used to make this.

Christmas?

I did not even realize that this was a Christmas song to begin with. I guess I just associated it with Christian times or something like that. Anyway, this was a great song simply because I love the voices that were use din this. I am interested as to find out how exactly you were able to create these fantastic voices. It sounds very authentic and the only bad thing is that it is a little redundant, but the melody is so fantastic, you tend to not really care. I mean, I'm reviewing it when it is way past Christmas.

[Theia - The Devil's Whistle]

The final piece!

Well, it would only make sense that you saved one of the best pieces out there for last! This was better than the last boss song and an extremely fitting one at that. I love how there is more variety here in a short time. Whoever is playing that guitar obviously has a lot of skill, as he knows just the right way to pluck it. I love the title and the tone of how it is pretty menacing, but still really works hard to have subtletly in itself. I am glad you got to experiment with so many things in this game.

[Theia - Hallucinations]

It is for a boss!

I was certainly never able to make it as far as any boss, but this was an awesome song for a boss. The game itself has such a light-hearted feeling to it, it is really effective when you throw in more hardcore stuff. My only complaint is that there should have been a bit more variety. With only thirty one seconds, I would normally think there would be as many things to get out. Anyway, this was still awesome and fits the theme of the game perfectly. It is quite a subtle piece, but still might have the most menacing tone.

[Theia - Eternal Lullaby]

There you go again

Here you bring us yet another fantastic score to listen to. I enjoyed every second of this and my only complaint is that it was simply not long enough to support how good it was! I probably was not even able to get this far into the game, as it is quite hard. You guys really worked as much as you could to put stuff that suited every single level and degree of difficulty. This gives off kind of a sinister tone, but more of a mischevious one to me. It is like something you would hear in something about a haunted church.

[Theia - Zone]

Getting better

I am now starting to remember this music from the game. I just think this has one of the most authentic water/stream sounds I have heard and trust me, I have heard a lot. This seemed to be more sinister, but it still managed to keep its charm up pretty well. The feeling is eerie, yes, but it brings about sort of an innocent sense of wonder. It is the kind of wonder that you would feel when playing a game about going underground. I also love how it just seems to ring faintly at the very beginning.

[Theia - Zero Resistance]

Back to your roots!

This was better than the previous submission and it is funny I am reviewing stuff in a ground themed game as I was in fact just working with my mother on her garden. I thought this gave off more of an action sense, but still had a pleasant ring to it. It was in no way slightly gloomy like the last one. For being thirty seconds long, it really manages to build itself up to tension really well. It sounds like something that would be played on an easy level of Sonic The Hedgehog or something. I always like when action is combined with pleasantness.

[Theia - Stealth]

Not great

I think this was not as good because it seemed to be dramatically different than the previous two songs. I can tell that it is the same game, but the tone is just way different. It is more of a gritty, dirty feeling to it, which probably works for the harder levels. I guess I have been so used to hearing pleasant and soft music from you, this came off as different. It is a pretty good little loop and it seems to be suitable for the game. It's nice that so many interesting audio submissions came out of this.
