Ericho's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Blister]

Pretty good

I'm getting more used to all of the loops you have made and I really think you are improving. I'm not the biggest hip hop fan, but I can tell you are trying to imitate it. I made some earlier remarks how your stuff sounded like it was from a video game. It's nice to know I was accurate on exactly what you are trying to portray, at least some of the time. The beeping sounds are pretty nice, and I like the little "letdown" at the end. I will say that it needs a bit more variety and with more stuff going on.

[Electronic Hero]

Matrix?

This didn't sound like "The Matrix" to me, but it sounded like something awesome! Loops that are this short end up sounding repetitive a lot of times, but not this one! I think this was a very nice blend of awesomeness and hype. It helps that I'm more into high adrenaline style music, especially in loops. While not a favorite, it is still pretty nice to listen to. You have made a lot of flashes and it's interesting to look into all of the audio stuff you have made as well.

[Far Too Long]

Not some of your better stuff

Yeah, I know this is going to sound weird, because death metal music is incomprehensible anyway. This just didn't come off as being clear at all, and I couldn't understand the message. If it was meant to be a parody, I couldn't identify what was being made fun of. If it wasn't, then I don't know what it is even saying. I guess this was authentic to a heavy metal song, but it just came off as annoying. If you could clear the lyrics to more understandable stuff, I would recommend it.

[Liquid Magic]

Piano?

I couldn't really get the feeling of eerieness much as it was a little repetitive. It was interesting to figure out how this correlated with all of the piano keys as I used to played that. I don't see why the rating's so low, I mean I guess it isn't ''good'', but not terrible. There isn't much variety, which fits its minute long length. I'm at least glad you got a little recognition and this got to be used in 3 entries. With more variety and a more clear theme, I'm sure you could make something a lot better.

[Guaranteed Fresh]

It was fine

This didn't touch upon the hip-hop feel as your previous entries did (or even most entries). Again, it's hard to review something that's so short. I guess it does give off the feeling of mellowness so I congradulate you for being faithful to the description. It can get a little annoying after awhile as it does not have much variety. I guess it can work well as a little experiment. It's interesting how you submitted so much audio stuff at this time, but it felt like you could have put more effort into it.

[Banana Triangle V1]

First beat?

I don't understand why this is called your first beat, as it appears to be in fact the same as the previous beat you made. While I could tell the similarities, I think this one was better. It did a really good job at using that tone but modifying it. As you could have guessed, I believe it is just like the other one with my review, so copy and paste my review from that if you want. I liked the use of hands clapping (it had that, didn't it?) as well as how the beats. I stil think this sort of sounds like a video game, albeit a groovy one.

[Banana Triangle]

Pretty nice

It was interesting to take a look back at the first ever thing you submitted to the audio portal. I couldn't really pick up a theme or tone or any sort. I guess it was just supposed to be silly or bouncy which I suppose suits you quite well. I could sense something in the style of perhaps a video game with the sounds. I liked how it phased out at the end and phased up in the beginning. While I've heard better, this was still an okay thing to listen to.

[DJ Sanryd - The Monastery]

A great song!

Well, I didn't think it was possible to take something that seemed dull like a monastery and make it good! I was impressed at how it really build up towards the end. I couldn't understand what was being said, but I didn't even care. You really know how to take a bunch of stuff and make alterations to it. It was fun to listen to just to find out what would happen next. I believe a lot of effort was put into this. If anything, this is a tribute to all the work religious people put their lives into!

[Aqua Planet Blah]

Your best!

I was very impressed by this and it managed to be even better than the previous entry! Like I said before, it's amazing how many things you can do just by adding "blahs" to everything. I haven't even heard of "Aqua Planet" before but the fact that I like this more than the mario thing that I was familiar with really says something. You still put in a great combination of ways to say "blah". It's great that you could show off your creativity by taking a concept that may seem simple, but turned out to be really flashy! While not the most prolific audio guy out there, you're a good one.

[worms war]

Variety was great!

I hadn't even heard of the "Worms" series until I saw some cool flashes on this site about it. With that being said, this was a great way to get introduced to the series and its style. I thought that with the beginning it might be a little dull, but I was very surprised to find it wasn't! This had a lot of variety and a lot of different things going on that fit very well. It seemed to change tones, from being more peaceful to warlike to adventerous to more spotaneous. I praise you for your creativity.
