Ericho's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Halls of the Holy]

I didn't find this to be anything that original. That doesn't stop it from being a good song. The strongest point is how authentic it all sounds. You really know how to create atmosphere. That's important for a lot of songs. Were you talking about Christmas holly?

I think you meant to say "holy". Or meant to type "holy". This had a fairly good length. There wasn't that much variation with itself. It certainly gets me in the Church spirit.

CarlTheVoiceactor responds:

Thanks for the review! I appreciate the viewpoint :D I did indeed mean to type "Holy" and not holly. Thanks for pointing that out. Atmosphere is generally the goal for me when I make music so I'm glad I hit that mark and am also extremely happy you enjoyed! It's been awhile since I've made new music but I think this review may have put me back in the spirit for it! Thanks again and cheers.

[Drowning into the Heavens]

Wow, this is one of the most emotionally investing songs I have ever heard in my life. It's not just the fact that the song itself is flawless in every sense of the word. It's the fact that you included this beautiful description. It almost seems like a creepypasta. It's still haunting but also so artsy. I totally understand what's going on.

This makes me sad I don't have a piano anymore. It's mostly sad music. It just really fills you with such strong emotion. Each of us can probably ourselves interpret what it means to us personally. You know how to tell a wonderful story. I would love to see this made into a flash cartoon!

MarkySpark responds:

You honor me, thank you. Look forward to hearing more from you.

[-+[Vampire Masquerade-+]

Dang it! This has such a higher rating than the last one even though I think this one isn't as good! Well, at least you got the high rating that you deserved. It really was great to at least hear some of your voice again. The instrumentals were still wonderfully done. This is as graceful as ever.

I'm so glad you made something a little more serious. It was still pretty emotional. It doesn't really make me think of vampires. Well, it does have a medieval tone to it. I understand it more now.

LadyArsenic responds:

Heehee thank you! My songs tend to get higher scores when they don't make the front page or song of the week or whatever.
Anyway I'm glad you like it! Thanks for listening <3

[-+[Scarborough Fair]+-]

You said your voice was DUMB?! This is one of the best voices I've ever heard in my entire life! I have no idea why this has a rating of only 3.87! It's some of the most beautiful singing I've ever heard. I can't believe you didn't alter your voice or anything for this. You have one of the most wonderful I've ever heard!

I also love how you included the lyrics. The background music is flawless too. It's just wondering from beginning to end. You sound like an angel! I believe in angels and you are one of them! Never once do you stutter or get anything wrong.

LadyArsenic responds:

Oh wow, thank you for all the compliments! I'm really glad you like this! <3
I think the score is so low because this made front page. They get a lot of positive/negative attention when that happens. Anyway thanks so much for listening ^__^

[Enter the Captain Rainbow]

I thought this would be something related to Captain Planet. Then again, I don't think "Enter" was ever in the show. Well, I didn't watch it that much. Anyway, this really is awesome! I really am getting the feeling of something bright and colorful. It could have used a little more variety, though.

It sounds more like something from a kid's show than a video game. Well, there are kid's video games of course! It's great to hear a new song from you. You have so few of them. It has a good sense of adventure to it.

DESHIEL responds:

Oh you were talkin to Hanz

[Windswept]

Wow, this is an absolutely beautiful song! I am so glad to have come by it. This is a shortened version? You rarely find songs that are over five minutes long. There must be a time limit with audio submissions. It's just satisfying music.

It builds itself up so wonderfully after time. It has a great sense of wonder and awe. I agree that there's lots of range in this. It's wonderful to hear something so graceful. It's hard to keep my interest for something this long, but it worked all the way! It really is a song that just has everything.

NickPerrin responds:

Thanks for the awesome review! I appreciate it!

You can find the 8-minute version on my account as well to hear it in full!

[-The wanderer-]

Dude, this is one of the most amazing songs I've ever heard in my life! It started out like it was based on the theme music to "Breaking Bad". It then slowly went into other things. It was like a metamorphosis of a song, while still being faithful to its roots. By "roots" I mean the overall tone. The voices at 6:31 are a great touch.

It really gives off a feeling of wonder. I could tell that it was made to sounds like walking in a desert. You get a good Middle East tone in it. That's a great way to create an adventurous tone. You deserve to be popular with this. You are simply a very talented artist.

Waterflame responds:

Thank you, I really appreciate it. :)

[Winter Night's Journey (Through The Storm)]

This music is extremely ambitious! It doesn't take long to get right in on the action! My only complaint is that it's a little too repetitive. It's still wonderful to listen to. This is truly heavy metal! I can just imagine people constantly playing their instructions. It even builds up to a nice pause at the end.

That can be useful when listening to this as a loop. It must be cool to look back at all the stuff you made. It certainly led up to something good. Some great action game could use this. It's pretty popular, at least compared to many other songs I've reviewed.

rtnario responds:

Hmm, well I did try to change it up with some melodic variations and added instruments XDD And well, that's exactly what I'm doing now, a year after your review. Thank you!

[All The Way Down [P.CH]]

This is yet another great song. I will admit that it's kind of weird. It seems like it's pretty happy at first, but eventually goes sad. Hey, I guess that's what the title means! It certainly seems like something from England. I think I can hear some Legend Of Zelda in there.

Granted, that's probably just because I'm so used to hearing LOZ music. I was confused as to why the submission wasn't shown here. It says it was heard in 1 entry. Oh, maybe it was unfortunately deleted. It's a song with a lot of heart and emotion.

Troisnyx responds:

Just for the record, there is a new version of this in my audio submissions -- I'd love for you to hear it and tell me what you think! Thanks for listening to this one by the way. <3

[Looking At The Sun]

This is an absolutely amazing song! I really have no idea why it is isn't more popular! At least it was fortunate enough to be featured in some entries. This is really a song that tells a story. It seems like it's talking about the hard things we go through in life. It still manages to get better, which is when the song got softer.

Yeah, I don't know the actual intention behind this. It just came off as something really spiritual to me. It's simply a delightful song from beginning to end! It's hard to say it gets better as it's always awesome! I hope you were going to say something significant. That's how this song came to me as.

TheRealSam responds:

Wow, thanks a lot mate! Much appreciated! :)
I have to confess that I never think this deep when I compose music, it's mainly a matter of emotion to me, and I'm more than glad that this song managed to create such a profound reflexion and feelings to you! In my opinion, music is one of the best way to create athmospheres and emotions, which can dramatically from one person to another.
Yet your interpretation is, I feel, just perfect! I couldn't have put better words to explain what this music makes me think about myself!
Thanks again for your review mate! :)
