Ericho's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Finding Faith]

It's really neat

I remember hearing this from the "Bunny Invasion" game as I'm a person who likes to get a lot of medal points. It's funny how this is called "Finding Faith" because it does in fact convey a spiritual message while it goes on. I don't know if you're religious, but I am and this touched me on that level. It made me think of rising to the heavens or something holy like that. It's cool how it was used in a bloody Easter game! This is a nice song that gives off feelings of warmness and hope.

I'm an atheist, but whatever floats your boat, dude! Thanks for the review.

[That Cliché Reversed Reverb]

Great

This deserves a high rating from me, simply because it has an incredibly funny description. I just think it's so cool how this seems to be a combination of a bunch of crazy stuff all rolled into one. Being a huge YouTube Poop guy, I can understand how that can be great. I can recognize the sounds like symbols and the like while they go on. It's pretty impressive to see how this maintains itself over this time and has a lot of good stuff in it. In other words, it's just a good example of being creative.

[Winter's Debilitating Grip]

It is dark

I am listening to darker and darker stuff being submitted to the audio portal more and more these days. I was pretty impressed at how this had a nice, stylistic beat. Everything seems to be going downhill as it does give off the feeling of being in a snowstorm. It's sort of a technological sound, like metal creatures that live in the woods or something. It's really unexpected how it just drifts off for a few seconds, only to come back full circle at the start. While not the most innovative thing I've seen, it's good.

[Adamant FX]

You're welcome

I'm surprised this has only been used in one Madness submission, as it could be very useful for Madness related stuff, especially the beginning. This was very intersting to listen to, as it does have a lot of new techniques. While not the most original tone, it certainly knows how to make due with what it has. I especially liked the fading in and out. It almost seemed like some kind of disco song. All in all, it's a pretty intersting style that has a lot in it that would keep the listener listening.

[-Frenzy-]

Nice and dark

This was a very enjoyable song to listen to, simply because it had a very dark and original feel to it. This wasn't so much of a frenzy, as it was pretty organized in its own right. I was impressed at how it always seemed to top itself in terms of tone change. It gives off the feeling of something that would appear in a "Gorillaz" song or something like that. I can now visualize how these songs work now. I imagine strokes of paint being put down softly or strongly to show how the notes were being put in.

[Popcorn [EON Remix]]

This is classic

I think this may have more reviews than any other audio submission, but I can never be sure. This is a very significant song as it has a ton of style to it. It's a great representation of something that works well in those puzzle and Pong related games that I have played. It sort of gives off a feeling of goofiness, while still being cool. With the way everything just seems to bounce up and down all the time, I can see why it's called "Popcorn". It's a pleasant song that anybody can listen to.

[Necromancy (drum n' bass)]

Best was the start

It was really cool in the beginning, and it didn't seem to match that beginning. It was still a very interesting song to listen to, and I think it sets the tone of zombies quite well. It's very fast-paced, but can also have a triumphant feeling to it. There seem to be a lot of different styles and different levels of triumphant-ness being used, which I liked. I can tell a lot of effort was put into this, and I'm impressed you have an album! It fits the idea of zombies coming the more you listen to it.

[Alchemy FX]

Alchemy?

I was half expecting this to be a parody or tribute to "Full Metal Alchemist" as that's the thing I associate most with alchemy. It was in fact pretty funny to hear how this song built up after awhile and how it had that funny voice in it. It may have gotten a little repetitive, but it still makes for really good listening. I have never even heard of this synthesizer called "Alchemy" which is odd, considering how many audio submissions I've heard. It's nice that you described what it basically is in the description. I mean author's comments.

[Elevator Music]

The most used song of all time!

I absolutely never thought I would ever see the day where I would find a song that had been used in over 200 entries! As I have heard this so many times, it's hard to appreciate how good it is. It fits exactly what it's supposed to be; elevator music. The idea is so mundane because it can fit nearly any basic situation where not much is happening. That happens in a lot of things at least once, I suppose. I have to give this a high rating simply because it's very impressive to make something that has become so popular.

...'Most Used?'

Way to make it sound dirty :-P

[The Launch]

Pretty glorious

I was impressed at what a glorious and willfull tune this turned out to be. It wasn't among my favorites, but it was still pretty enjoyable to listen to. I at first thought this was used for "Hedgehog Launch", but I guess I'm just associating it with things with "Launch" in the name. As I have heard so many submissions, there really wasn't anything really unique. I think the strongest part of this is how the voices work so well. It creates a pretty haunting feeling that builds up to a climax.
