Ericho's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Last Kirbattle]

Yeah, I'm finally done!

I didn't think this was one of your better songs, as it got a little redundant after awhile. I know really nothing about this "Cave Story" game you're talking about, so it's hard to associate myself with it. Still, I have to congradulate you on all of the work you've done as I am completed reviewing all your stuff. It's nice to know that you are not just doing nothing while your animation comes out, but contributing stuff to the site while working on it. It was interesting as always to hear your voice coming at multiple times. I am proud to be associated with you.

[Scrabs]

Pretty nice

I guess I was expecting lyrics or something, but this wasn't bad at all. I thought it was nice how it did seem to have a theme shift about 3 minutes in, as it was getting a little rebundant. I couldn't quite tell what tone you were trying to make. I was thinking it may have been perhaps goofiness or a casual day in life or something like that? Whatever the tone, it works well for what it's supposed to be. Some of the sound effects (the ringing) were pretty funny.

[Terry 32]

Eh, could be better

I wasn't that impressed by this one and I really couldn't find much difference between it and the last one you submitted. I guess the voice is something I'm getting used to, but it wasn't much. If you're going to make so many audio submissions, you should try to put more variety. It almost sounded like the girl at the end said, "Hentai". The beat was just a little too monotonous to be that enjoyable. How exactly did you get that voice anyway?

[Battle #1 (snes And 8bit)]

Simply great stuff!

This is one of the better songs I have heard from you and it's no hard to see why. I could recognize the (S)NES sounds being used and it was a very authentic take on it! You managed to keep the original music but really add in a great style all of your own. It was really cool just to figure out what kind of instruments you were using. I can tell you're obviously an avid gamer and it would be great to submit some game stuff here. i was impressed by the overall cheery and adventerous tone this had.

[Guests Loop2]

It was pretty nice

I was impressed at how this was twice as long as the previous short loop you put in here! I felt that this one was steering for a pretty relaxed theme as the other one was. In contrast to the other, this one sounded a bit more professional. I couldn't really connect the idea of a lack of guests to this, but whatever. It also gave off a pretty mysterious theme to it, which I like in work by you. Anyway, while not some of your best work (it's a bit hard to judge something so short) it was good enough.

[Drakirball Z]

Great as always

I was impressed by this and it used the same kind of sound effects you always used. I was at first trying to understand what it had to do with "Dragonball Z", but then it sounded more like it as time went on. Yeah, I was a fan of that show just as you probably were. It's amazing how many things you can do just by saying "da da" over and over. This worked nice as a cute little tribute to a great anime series. I hope you had as much fun making this as I did listening to it.

[Terry 31]

This was okay

I was impressed by how this was made although I will admit it was a little annoying. Did you actually use your own voice to make this female sounding voice? It was a little bland how the lyrics weren't really that impressive, but they weren't terrible either. The beat was fine and it seemed to fit the theme pretty well. It's too bad this has such a low score, but I made it higher at least! With some more creativity in the lyrics and a better voice, this could be better.

[What I've Done Distorted Remix]

Hey, great stuff!

I can see why this is MindChamber's favorite audio piece (out of dozens of stuff). It is one of the most authentic sounding things I have ever heard. That is, it sounds just like something that a professional would make and it's amazing that you made this on your own. I don't remember the thing this is a remix of (never heard of "What I've Done") but it's great. The voice work fits the instrumentals wonderfully well. It may have been a little unclear to hear, but it was still fantastic.

[Tom Fulp, Share Your Chicks!]

Very funny!

Well, I must said that this was a great song to listen to and very catchy. I didn't know Tom Fulp was so popular with the ladies, but it really figures. I especially like how funny your voice sounded and it was nice of Tom Fulp to say his personal opinion. The different types of women you listed was probably the funniest parts. The use of instrumentals was very nice as well and the pauses always helped. I'm glad you made a parody (or satirical piece) as funny as this.

CountBoogie responds:

Tom is a true playa, he just wants to be humble. Thanks for noticing the pauses too, it took me a while to get those down pat. Thanks for the review Ericho-o-o-o-o.

[[V] - Pitfall]

Great!

This is some of the best stuff I have heard in a long time. I like how you went and had such a lengthy description of all of the work you put into this. It really does show, as it manages to have a lot of transitional effects while keeping the beat. I was also impressed by how this manages to keep its pace well for three and a half minutes, never being boring or anything. I could simply just enjoy the stylistic beat it had going. It's a pit hard to put into a category, but it's something definitley good.

Marks-a-lot responds:

If only I had spent more time on the song and less time on Street Fighter and Butouden 2. It is a pretty solid track though and I have to say I stayed true to my own genre, that's why it's so hard to generalize. Thanks for the review.
