Ericho's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[-Orr- Heroic Confrontation]

Very glorious indeed!

I guess you were perhaps not leaning so much towards glory as you were for a confrontation which would be before glory. Still, this was a fantastic piece of music to listen to. It's so authentic sounding it sounds like something you would hear in "Super Smash Bros." and the like. This had its periods of building up and going down. While it may not have been the most triumphant thing I have heard, it is great. I look foward to the day when JAZZA or someone like that uses in a game or animation.

Very pleasant

It seems like nowadays I am just hearing pleasant songs going around everywhere. I was able to recognize that this used the flute or some other wind instrument. It felt like something that would be fit for a pleasant medeival game. It almost sounded Chocobo-like, or at least something that would be appropriate for the Final Fantasy games. It also reminded me of a festival, like at a renaissance fair. You really know how to get your themes right and make something appropriate.

Very good

Here you go yet again with some very nice and flashy stuff you have given us. This starting out as being somewhat ordinary, but it really lived up to a great potential of being more fast-paced. Even thought it was fast paced, it still kept the tone of cheerfulness. You really do work well in giving off cheerful tones in all of the stuff you've submitted. I could hear some use of the banjo or something like that. It's a great way to end the year of 2007 in terms of audio stuff, and I'm surprised this hasn't been used in any of your flashes.

Good again

I must say that you appear to really be on a role now as nearly everything submitted has been good! It hasn't been great, like with someone like Doki, but it's good. This works great to give off a slow jiving groove just as expected. It is a pretty nice, casual song that has its degree of coolness and the like. It is nice to see that you are not just going for quantity, but are really going for quality on these things. I see it has been about a year since you made this, so may I wish you a merry Christmas this year!

[Run to Japan]

Great stuff!

This is one of the best songs that I have heard on this site in a long time. I was impressed at how you paced the song very well for two and a half minutes and had a nice, optimistic tone to it. There were a lot of instruments being used, and I liked the gong and the guitar strings (or whatever those were). It did well in giving the listener a feeling of Oriental things. While it may have gotten repetitive after awhile, the goods definitley outweigh the bads. While I don't have flash, it would be great if something decided to animate this.

[Ethiaxus]

Nice little song

Here you go again with peaceful melodies, causing me to think you have not submitted a single dark thing to the audio portal anyway. This was not one of your best, as it needed more variety. It did kind of seem like the same notes were being played over and over again. I still have to give you props for having a nice song with a very impressive use of instruments. You certainly know how to record things with a variety of stuff. It is nice that you can fill our heads with good, pleasant songs.

Rose it to 2.25

This was a pretty enjoyable song to listen to. I can see that now you are looking for a signature style as you are starting to use the same sounds and lyrics in your work. I like it as it seems to have more work put into it than just the standard sound audio submission of yours. It would be interesting to learn how you got all of those crazy voices. It all sounded quite authentic, like something you would hear made by a professional. Granted, it did not have the best structure, but it didn't need to.

[=Judgement Day=]

Good action!

This may not be the most original song out there, but it was certainlly action like enough to love. This had a really good idea of building up stress and just going everywhere. By that I mean, it has a good sense of adventure that features someone going on an epic journey. I was impressed at how well this kept up, even if the song wasn't long. I can now understand the theme of an apocalyptic setting more. It makes me think more of going to escape it, like in the movie "2012".

Hades responds:

It does sort of give that "Damn, I gotta go run 'n' hide somewhere" feeling, doesn't it? XD Thanks a lot for the review, dude, it means a lot to hear that people appreciate my creative work!

[Dribble Tape (remix)]

Pretty interesting stuff

I didn't think that this was one of your best submissions, but it was still pretty nice. It was hard for me to identify a theme at all, as you would think I would be really familiar with themes in your work by now. I guess it was just supposed to be a really peaceful trip. It did kind of go on a bit long, as it did not have that much variety. I still have to give you credit for keeping up with your good work. I was also able to think of a sort of wonder and awe that may work better as the theme.

[Terry 60]

Very nice

I like it how you are experimenting more with using actual lyrics. I am not sure what this "eJay 5" thing is supposed to be, as it is apparently a kind of machine. The voice featured in this was pretty nice and didn't come off as annoying or anything like that. There were not that many tunes, but that worked out just fine for itself. This seemed to have everything a standard song of its kind would need to have. It seems as though you are indeed improving after all of these submissions.
