Ericho's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[=Onslaught=]

Quite impressive

I could have sworn I heard something like this before, but it was probably a remix of the original thing. I felt that this gave off a good tone of action and adventure. Near the end, it really seemed to build up to a climax like in a video game or some other great story. It may have gotten a little repetitive, but it is still something great. It probably helps that Marvel villian "Onslaught" is one of my favorite villians. The tone sounded almost like zaniness but at the same time still being fast-paced with action.

Hades responds:

I'm not exactly aware of the existence of any remixes of this song, but it is possible, I guess. To be honest, this is one of my songs that I'm not really pleased with, as I would have probably made it very differently if I went on to re-make it right now. Still, it's good to hear you found it amusing! Thanks for commenting! ;D

[Lunaticks]

A great song!

I am so glad I have been able to listen to all of your audio submissions now and this is some of your best! You put in some effort to make a truly goofy and surreal song. I could recognize the Popeye sounds and being a fan of that stuff was happy to hear it in there. This sounds like something that could for used for like TheBoogley or an animutation. I think you may have spelled "bon appetite" wrong, but that's a trivial matter. You did manage to make this modern by adding sheer silliness to it!

Short-Factor responds:

Yay I'm glad someone finally appreciates this song. Thank you.

[*Made Of Fire*]

Very nice!

You have obviously worked hard to create a style of your own. It was hard to pin down what theme you were trying to get, but I'm glad it was used in some entries. I guess the theme was something like being adventerous as is a lot of the stuff here. It also gave off a feeling of ambition and maybe even a little bit of mystery. Another way to describe this would be to say "cheery", or basically a video game theme. I also love the title as it informs the viewer we're going to see something full of passion.

ZeRo-BaSs responds:

Thanks!!! :)

[Blue brass of the beast]

Here you go again!

I had no idea "Madness Accelerant" used so many songs in it because a lot of them sounded similar. This isn't a criticism, it's saying that all of the music is great and fits the game wonderfully. While not my favorite of the bunch, this was very fun to listen to by itself. It gives off a simply great and true feeling of ambition and adventure. I can imagine myself playing the game as I listen to this. All of the tension and climaxes are done very well as well as nearly everything in this.

hopeku responds:

thanks man!

[Kheni - DnB beat (fix)]

Pretty good

It is a little hard to judge because this is a pretty soft going song. It doesn't attempt to be super fast or anything, which is fine with it. It does have a sort of action theme, but a much more casual one rather than any forced thing others may have. You seemed to use an interesting number of instruments. I also liked how this seemed to have short "outbursts" of energy every now and then. I would suggest it be more organized (flow better) but apart from that it's good.

Kimken responds:

noted :)

[*Dark Tempest* [IZK]]

Quite nice!

This has got to be one of the lengtheist descriptions that I have ever read. To me, the theme of this was fighting in a war and getting a big battle or something like that done. It's interesting how you have made so many changes to this. There was even a sci-fi feel to it because of some laser like sounds. The beat was well paced for 3 minutes (or really any time) and it had a lot going for it. All in all, it has a lot of style and a technique that is pretty much something you made on your own.

Jenni-Harry4eva3 responds:

Well.. thank you for this... but I'm sure I've improved and progressed a lot. more since this song. This is one of my not good but not bad kind of songs.. But thanks.

[Running Past the Time]

3 hours?!

I have yet to submit anything to the audio portal, but I felt it strange that this took 3 hours to make. I'd like more detail into the methods and programs used, but I'm digressing. This had a really nice tune that you made up on your own. I think it does live up to the theme of running past the time, not as in time traveling put racing against the clock. It kind of gave me the feeling of silhouetted cartoon mice. I don't know why, this just had a pretty goofy feeling in it that made me think of that.

dicennian responds:

There is a lot of detail to do, just that I didn't. I'm still learning, the songs takes more and more time the more I do.

[Sertraline]

Very stylistic

Well, after listening to something that paused twice, I think this paused quite a few times. In that way, it's like you are breaking it up into segments that may not be that different. It's great how you're able to show a rising and falling sound in such a clear way. I honestly do not hear that in a lot of audio submissions and I feel like I should. I was impressed by the style and the kinds of instruments being used. My brother and I do indeed take anti depressants, but I have never even heard of this sertraline.

td6d responds:

Thanks! This is great to hear. The name 'sertraline' is meant rather ironic since the song is kinda depressive and all ^^

[-:YRX:-MachinRAa Black St]

Another boss battle?

I seem to be encountering a lot of songs that fit the theme of boss battles lately. Anyway, this was a very interesting song and it had a good sense of pacing and adventure. It is probably the only one I have ever heard that paused that once, but twice in the song! I couldn't see the point of that, as it seemed to repeat itself. I'm sure there were some minor differences that I just wasn't all that keen to notice. It is certainly an original concept that doesn't really fit so much of a boss as it does of simpler action things.

YouriX responds:

Aah, well the Audioportal was ment so that flash artists could use the song for there flash projects like a cartoon or a game. TomFulp wanted to use this song for his maddness comabt game. But the file couldnt compile.

The pauses well.. i dont know something i thaugt would be cool to do!

Thanks for th review and your ;)
Really thankfull!

[Fredgy - Systole]

Very impressive indeed!

What I love about this song is how it has a sort of futuristic beat to it. I especially enjoyed how it gave off "spiraling" sounds in the beginning and upgraded into a bigger thing. It was pretty cool to listen it keep up that awesome beat for two and a half minutes. After the first minute, there seemed to be a sort of relapse where you paused a bit. Whatever the intention was, this interesting style really worked well. I appreciate you for all of the time and effort put in to make something this good.

Fredgy responds:

haha thanks :)
