Ericho's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Cursedwvox-MetalJonus]

Woah, awesome!

I'm not the biggest fan of heavy metal, but this was a great tribute to it! It really imitated it well, due to the fact that there wasn't a gosh darn word being spoken I could understand at all. It was so nice of you to include those lyrics. I could spend all day reading this and trying to understand more of what the people in this song are trying to say. All of the instruments were used just as authentically as any heavy metal song would use them. The little chorus in the middle with the drum solo was really cool too.

Metaljonus responds:

Thanks!?

[Fat Bastard]

Fat?

It was a bit hard for me to think of fat people dancing because of this. I admit it was what I was expecting from a song that was called "Fat Bastard". I guess this was supposed to imitate Spanish or Swedish? Anyway, I should look at the positive things, like how this used instruments very well and the voice was pretty funny. Even if you never get this flash made that features this song, at least it was featured in something. It does a very good transition from the end to the beginning.

Dimoria responds:

I would rather explain the dialect as either Arabian or turkish . Not swedish or spanish... Thanks for your review. Even if it felt kind of useless since this song was not made for any greater purpose.

[=The Silent Sentinel=]

Quite medevial

This didn't have a lot of variety, but it was still pretty fun to listen to. I couldn't quite grab the concept of medevial themes in the beginning as much as I thought of rural or Oriental themes. Then I of course realised that all of them are quite similar. I recall hearing this in a game or two (makes sense) and thought it was pretty suiting. It gives off a feeling of subtleness and a simple life. At the same time, it gave a sort of feeling of adventure, albeit a more casually done adventure, whatever that may mean.

Hades responds:

I know what you mean, this sort of song is usually best used for peaceful environments or easy-going adventures. And yeah, it does have some points in common with oriental music, due to the koto-ish lute. Thanks for your input, it's always good to get a more elaborate review! Thanks!

[|2008| Minor Issues]

Very impressive!

Well, I can figure out why RopeDrink favorited this, as you used a song from him. This was a very good song in its own right. It worked well as an independent rap song, although it probably wasn't as catchy as a lot of professional ones. This isn't to say I was impressed. I like how you used your voice in this one and you really sounded like a professional. The music that went with the song was pretty cool too.

Chista responds:

thanks, i try to sound as professional as I can

[royal march]

Very graceful!

I would've liked this more if it had voicework, but it still worked out very well. The music was a little monotonous, but luckily it only went on for two minutes. You were definitley trying to conveil a soft, sweet emotion and you did it quite well. I believe you were trying to imitate the trumpet or perhaps some classical music? This sort of stuff just makes me think of birds fluttering. I like to associate them with grace.

choopocobra responds:

do wat now

[Pirates on the Interwebs]

Alright

It would have been more suitable if this was submitted on Talk Like A Pirate Day, and used in your flash. Seriously though, this was alright. The voice got a little annoying when it got high-pitched.

Wonchop responds:

You had to submit it before Talk Like A Pirate Day so someone could animate it.

[Pac-Man Remix (Updated)]

Great song!

This is certainly my pick for best Pac-Man music that I have ever heard on Newgrounds, and probably Pac-Man music in general! It takes talent to take something that can seem a bit generic but turn in it something truly epic!

CrazyChocobo responds:

Hehe, thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.
I've improved a lot as a musician since I made this. I hope you'll enjoy my latest work. Head on over to http://www.soundcloud.com/synthony and give it a listen, I hope you'll find something you like~

[Tetris (Rock Version)]

Another tetris remix!

I'm hearing more of these Tetris remixes and while I'm not the biggest fan of them, I can say I'm at least learning to appreciate them anymore. I really didn't take this as being about rock, it seemed more like something softer, but at least it works!

Soundshifter responds:

thanks man

[Evil-Dog - The Last Stand]

It was good

I think this is the first time I've ever reviwed an audio submission by you, Evil-Dog! I'm glad to be introduced to all of the vast entries you've made on this website! While not one of my favorites it's still fun to listen to if only for its signficance. Do you by chance have more audio submissions than any other user on this site?

Evil-Dog responds:

Tons of other artists have way more submissions than me

[Apples OST]

Apples?

I don't recall seeing this cartoon, but I have to admit this was at least a pretty satisfying song. The banjo isn't really my cup of tea, but it's still fun to listen to.

SWiTCH responds:

Thanks!
Not everyone loves banjos sadly. :(
It's not used in a very banjo-esque way in this song though. Just to do that simple lead riff which could've been done with a regular guitar or anythng else really.
