Ericho's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Nobody Saw The Hanging]

Great stuff!

I liked this one a lot and it's a great demonstration of your variety. It was funny how it sounded like it was more serious at first (maybe even a little dark) but it got a lot ligther and nicer as it went on. It's good talent to see a good transition not just in work over submissions, but in one submission. It does sound like a metally noisy punk thing, which I'm not a fan of, but you do it very well. There was obviously a lot of heart put into this as well as effort. You are truly an artist, Mr. Firth!

Very low

I think this in fact the lowest score of any audio submission I have ever listened to. With that being said, I can understand why it's pretty low as it does not seem to have much style on its own. If you're going to submit so much audio stuff, you should work harder to make it different. This didn't sound like anything I hadn't heard before. It probably would have been better if the clip was only 15 seconds long. It is important to go with quality over quantity, so work harding with more variety and originality next time.

[SMRPG - Forest Maze]

Greatly done!

I can understand why this has been used in so many entries, as it is quite good. I KNEW I had heard this music from somewhere else and no I realize I first heard it from the "Zwill" game. Now of course, I've recognized it more for what it was supposed to be. It's always great to hear someone take an already great song and add more to it. While not one of my favorites, it's one of your better ones. You may not be the most prolific audio guy here, but you've submitted some really good work.

[Goldenrod Nitelites]

Awesome!

This was one of the most pleasant songs I have ever heard in my life! It has a perfect sense of going around on a great journey with a very light tone. It's nice that you can really make pleasant music (especially "Pokemon"!) like this and have it be accepted. This almost sounded like the theme song to Candy Land or something. It still works because it is such an uplifting song done with heart. I praise you for trying to put smiles into our lives with this stuff.

[Carvellas Castle]

Simply awesome!

I enjoyed listening to every second of this fantastic song. I knew you were trying to put out the theme of a castle in a medieval atmosphere almost like in Castlevania. There was some mistake in which I thought you included another song with this, but that was just the other window. Anyway, this had a lot of great twists and turns and sounded suspenseful the whole way through. You are really able to put a story to your music even if there is no visuals or words spoken.

[Lost Root Land]

Pretty good indeed!

I knew you were trying to pull off the idea of "bounciness" when making this. It gives off a really pleasant feeling and has some good variety. It's cool how you're able to make something that sounds so kid friendly as opposed to some darker stuff you're more known for in terms of flash. It sounded like someone was spelling out something on a Mr. Spell toy. It has a good use of instruments, not to mention it's catchy all around. I appreciate the nice theme and style you used in this.

[Terry 44]

Pretty repetitive

I guess you could say I've gotten pretty used to music made by you and I can understand your style. By making so many short pieces, it does seem as though you're not putting much effort into it. I do sort of like the rythum that this has, but nothing original. I guess it would work fine as something used in a game. Why hasn't the game you made been mentioned as being in one of your entries? Anyway, with more hard work and variety this could be much better.

[Pokemon Battle! Red vs. Blue]

Great stuff!

You could call me a pokemon fan and it's nice of you to make this (you still probably hate the anime, though). You were certainly loyal to the original theme. It was also nice how you really put in your own melody to make it nice and soft. I would soooo want to play this pokemon game you may submit to Newgrounds, as I think it is one of the few (if not the only) pokemon games here I have played. It had a really sweet tune that didn't strike me as adventerous. I tried not to think of it as such, and treat it as more of a pleasant melody.

[Looping Steps]

Pretty nice

It sounded like you were almost attempting to imitate the classic Mario theme (which I now realize you were fact doing judging by your comments). I guess I was thinking something more on the line of a haunted mansion or something. This does indeed like a theme that would accompany endless stairs. You also managed to put a fairly nice theme to it. While judging by the score, this wasn't one of your best songs, but it was still nice enough to recommend. It does get kind of catchy after awhile.

[Break Your Toes]

Great!

I thought this was a job well done as it was much better than I expected! At first I thought this might be a darker theme because of the title about breaking toes. It was nice to hear a more light-hearted song that sounded like it was played on the banjo. I felt this was trying to be nostalgic, like talking about your days in the country. It came off in the beginning as kind of boring, but it really did pick up. It obviously wasn't intended to be action-y, but it didn't need to as it came off as a nice pleasant song.
